I won this auction at @221bcon! This is a collection of Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle’s son Adrian and John Dickson Carr (who I suspect did most of the heavy lifting). It was originally published in 1952; this is the 1970s paperback reissue. It’s okay. The MAIN reason I wanted it is to share with you….
…the very last page. Apparently ACD’s own son hated the idea of Holmes and Watson being separated in retirement so much that he published his own fix-it fic!
the shirt is a little bit off, but mind palace john
is totally meant to be wearing the same thing as pool scene john
right down to the belt and shoes
this has to mean something, otherwise mind palace john would have just been wearing what actual john was actually wearing that morning
my money is on the idea that this is a representation of sherlock’s nostalgia/wistfulness/pining for a time when it was just the two of them against the rest of the world, at the very least.
Holmes really was like “the worst thing watson ever did to me was get married to someone who was not me” hello????
And in sign of four when Watson tells Holmes that he and Mary are engaged holmes is like “well at least I have cocaine still” what the fuck that’s literally crushingly sad
