Summary
During the fall of 1902, to the chagrin of ladies all across London, I finally took a woman to the altar. This is the account of the second Mrs. Watson, which I shall never publish, for it is nobody’s business but that of myself and my darling wife - and of Holmes, for he is responsible for the marriage. After all, he is the one who first introduced me to his sister.
Watson laments that he cannot court Holmes in public. Holmes has a creative solution. Shenanigans ensue.

Summary
After Holmes returns from the dead, confesses his feelings to Watson, and they finally consummate their 10 year relationship, they exchange some tender words and overdue explanations.
Set during the events of the podcast Fawx & Stallion, but this can also be read as bookverse. Major spoilers for Fawx & Stallion though.

Remarkably Badly by the_bedheaded_league

Summary
After the events of the Solitary Cyclist, Watson fixates on his own mistakes and wonders if Holmes might be better off without his assistance. Holmes is quick to correct this misconception and make sure his doctor knows just how badly he needs him by his side.
Inspired by a moment in the Granada episode, but can be read as any version of Holmes that you prefer. Rated E for brief sexual content but this is not a smut fic.

Summary
"It seems a miracle to me that we have made it here. At certain points in our lives we were both fairly convinced that we would die young, but against all odds, it seems that we both shall die of old age. It is perhaps not as exciting an end to our story as our readers would have hoped, but it is the one I vastly prefer."

A Very Long Shot by oorsprong

Summary
I sat awake with the lamplight as my sole companion that night, and I scanned my notes for descriptions of his touch. My readers cannot imagine how often I reread certain passages just to feel my heart kindle with renewed warmth for him. Should I not be ashamed to admit such a thing? Yet all I felt was a familiar yearning that could almost be quelled by reacquainting myself with my past work.

Summary
Old wounds are reopened in the aftermath of Holmes' nearly disastrous experiment with the devil's foot root.
“Thank you for your concern, Doctor, it is most admirable—but unnecessary, I assure you.” I thought of my little vials, which now lay shattered in the sand of the tempestuous Cornish coast and met his gaze defiantly, if a bit unsteadily. Watson let out a bitter, humorless laugh and threw his book down with a thump.

With hindsight, it was all so painfully inevitable.
Too often, for Watson, the past is near enough to touch.
