"Injury"

It was worth a wound - it was worth many wounds - to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask.

David Arnold is now trying to assault me personally, it seems 😤

[gentleman-detective]

Imagine being so in love that a BULLET GRAZES YOUR LEG and you forget because your crush looking into your eyes lovingly. Smh couldn’t be me. Watson? More like SIMPson.

[spider-gem]

Gay people can never say “I love you” it’s always gotta be some shit like:

“It was worth a wound; it was worth many wounds; to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask. The clear, hard eyes were dimmed for a moment, and the firm lips were shaking. For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain. All my years of humble but single-minded service culminated in that moment of revelation.”

Watson writing The Three Garridebs, published in 1924: "For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain."

Sherlock Holmes, who has been taking Watson out to concerts, dinners, and vacations since 1881: "What the fuck?"

[bonesfool]

“This is a more serious matter than I expected, Watson,” said he. “It is fair to tell you so though I know it will only be an additional reason to you for running your head into danger. I should know my Watson by now. But there is danger, and you should know it.”

“Well it is not the first we have shared, Holmes. I hope it may not be the last.”

I actually can’t stand them

[holmesxwatson]

“You’re not hurt, Watson? For god’s sake, say that you are not hurt!”

[johnlockifconvenient]

Holmes: Anything you have to say to me, you can say in front of Watson

Watson: 👍🏻

Holmes: Watson, it makes me nervous to bring you on this dangerous adventure, but I know you well enough to know you’d never let me go alone

Watson: 👍🏻

Holmes: Watson, do you want to go to a concert with me? And then maybe a nice walk and a night cap?

Watson: 👍🏻

Holmes: If this guy had killed you, I would have straight-up murdered him in cold blood

Watson: oh my god he loves me

“…What can I do, Holmes? Of course, it was that damned fellow who set them on. I'll go and thrash the hide off him if you give the word.” - The Illustrious Client “You are right,” he cried with an immense sigh of relief. “It is quite superficial.” His face set like flint as he glared at our prisoner, who was sitting up with a dazed face. “By the Lord, it is as well for you. If you had killed Watson, you would not have got out of this room alive." - The Three Garridebs

[angryducktimemachine]

It was worth a wound - it was worth many wounds.

[ID: a digital drawing of Holmes and Watson. Watson is sitting with Holmes kneeling besides him on the ground, Watson's right leg put up on Holmes leg as Holmes dresses a wound on Watson's thigh with a focused expression. /End ID]

no wait i'm thinking about the Three Garridebs again-

Watson gets shot (or rather, shot at). This is a man who was shot before (twice, if we go with the interpretation that he was shot in both the shoulder and the leg) and pretty much as soon as it happens, he's focused on Holmes and Holmes's reaction and he's filled with awe and love when he sees just how important he is to Holmes.

but. my man got shot. again. this man has PTSD, getting shot again is not going to help that in the slightest. but he focuses on Holmes, Holmes's reaction was so stunning and important to him that his reaction to that preceeds any reaction to getting fucking shot at itself.

it's possible he could have had some sort of breakdown later, but idk. i've just been. Thinking.
