I was not expecting this to get 1,000 notes??

I think Arthur Conan Doyle would be amused to know that Sherlock continues to be the object of people’s affections, even nearly 200 years later hahaha

Reading Sherlock Holmes and there are so many scenes where Holmes is just at the foot of Watson’s bed, wide awake at a questionable hour like, “Hello, my dear Watson! I have studied bicycles all night!” What a little cryptid.

Yall are clearly underestimating how much acd!Watson was crushing on Mary...

"Miss Morstan and I stood together, and her hand was in mine. A wondrous subtle thing is love, for here were two who had never seen each other before that day, between whom no word or even a look of affection had ever passed, and yet now in an hour of trouble our hands instinctively sought for each other. I have marvelled at it since, but at the time it seemed the most natural thing that I should go out to her so, and she has often told me, there was in her also the instinct to turn to me for comfort and protection. So we stood hand in hand, like two children, and there was peace in our hearts for all the dark things that surrounded us."

"Yet there were two thoughts which sealed the words of affection upon my lips. She was weak and helpless, shaken in mind and nerve. It was to take her at disadvantage to obtrude love upon her at such a time. Worse still, she was rich. If Holmes's researches were successful, she would be an heiress. Was it fair, was is honorable, that a half-pay surgeon should take such advantage of an intimacy which chance had brought about? [...] This Agra treasure intervened like an impassable barrier between us."

... however, yall are also severely underestimating how much acd!Holmes was crushing on Watson

"'Then I shall run over to Camberwell and call upon Mrs. Cecil Forrester. She asked me to yesterday.'

'On Mrs. Cecil Forrester?' asked Holmes, with the twinkle of a smike in his eyes.

'Well, of course Miss Morstan too. They were anxious to hear what happened.'

[...]

It was evening before I left Camberwell, and quite dark by the time I reached home. My companion's book and pipe lay by his chair, but he had disappeared. I looked about in the hope of seeing the note, but there was none.

'I suppose that Mr. Sherlock Holmes has gone out,' I said to Mrs. Hudson as she came up to lower the blinds.

'No, sir. He has gone to his room, sir. Do you know, sir,' sinking her voice into an impressive whisper, "I am afraid for his health?'

'Why so, Mrs. Hudson?'

'Well, he's that strange, sir. After you was gone he walked and he walked, up and down, and up and down, until I was weary of the sound of his footstep. Then I heard him talking to himself and muttering, and every time the bell rang out he came on the stairhead, with 'What is that, Mrs. Hudson?'And now he has slammed off to his room, but I can hear him walking away the same as ever. I hope he's not going to be ill, sir. I ventured to say something to him about cooling medicine, but he turned on me, sir, with such a look that I don't know how ever I got out of the room.'

'I don't think that you have any cause to be uneasy, Mrs. Hudson,'I answered. 'I have seen him like this before. He has some small matter upon his mind which makes him restless.' I tried to speak lightly to our worthy landlady, but I was myself somewhat uneasy when through the long night I still from time to time heard the dull sound of his tread, and knew his keen spirit was chafting against his involuntary inaction.

At breakfast-time he looked worn and haggard, with a little fleck of feverish color upon either cheek.

'You are knocking yourself up, old man,' I remarked. "I heard you marching about in the night.'

'No, I could not sleep,' he answered. 'This infernal problem is consuming me. [...]'

I will leave you to your deductions...

Sherlock Holmes just has a different definition of "ungodly"

Holmes waking people (watson) up at ungodly hours:

Wakes them up while he's already dressed and ready to go practically giggling and kicking his feet; won't take no for an answer; will linger at the foot of their bed and tickle their foot to force them awake.

Meanwhile Holmes when he gets woken up at an ungodly hour:

"GO AWAY"

My Holmes and Watson for this year's Xangô collab!! ✨️ Thank you once again for having me!

Since Watson is canonically an unreliable narrator, anything could have plausibly happened behind the closed doors of 221B. He doesn't tell us readers everything. Any sort of twist could have happened during a case that he couldn't write for the public... Like all those times he kissed Sherlock Holmes.

Reference:

"You have a grand gift for silence, Watson. It makes you quite invaluable as a companion."
