THE REIGATE SQUIRES…which by my calculations has the highest gay people per word count in the Sherlock Holmes canon. There will be a part 2 because I love too many moments in this story!!!

(Previously drew the beginning of the story here)

Losing my mind a little over this Sherlock Holmes stamp, which was created in 1993 and depicts a scene from 'The reigate squire' short story. It's such gorgeous art. And I absolutely adore how fiercely protective Watson looks here, all like "Don't you DARE bother my friend, he's been seriously unwell, he needs REST". And his hand on Holmes' back, hello?!?!

Watson: Holmes, you're ill and need to take rest so we're going to the countryside and you're going to relax. Holmes: fine :( Random Countryside Constable: IS THAT SHERLOCK HOLMES Random Countryside Constable: PLEASE HELP US SOLVE A MURDER Watson: He can't, he's ill and he needs to take rest- Watson: Aaand he's already run out the door. Watson: Watson: I don't know what I expected, honestly.

"Where is Mr. Holmes?"

"Outside. In a field [...] striding in circles, he seems very much excited"

"Just what I didn't want. >:("

----------------------------------

Finally got to finish this. Had a busy weekend. Might add Watson later but for now I'm happy enough with how Holmes turned out :3 listening to him in Reigate Squire going from all tired and grumpy to soooooo excited to have a fun case... I just know he's jumping and twirling around with excitement when talking to (a very displeased) Watson.

Bonus Close Up because I tried and make him still look a bit sickly and tired from the events he's supposed to be on vacation for.

Reblog and say in the tags which Sherlock Holmes stories haunt you. Not necessarily the ones you like best, but the ones that keep playing in your mind and make you toss and turn at night and pull your hair and sob into your pillow. Please. I need to feel more normal.

I too have said 'im fine, I had a Coke' and then proceeded to feel like life was leaving my body, he's so real for that

Watson: My dear friend has had a full breakdown of his health; I’ll take him to visit my friend so he can have some peace and quiet

Inspector: It’s a good thing you’re here, Holmes! We just had a murder burglary!!

Watson: Goddammit

*later*

Watson: My dear friend is on the verge of another breakdown; I will take him to a quiet little place by the sea so he can recover.

Vicar: It’s a good thing you’re here, Holmes—

Watson: GODFUCKINGDAMMIT

recent sherlock & co episode has awoken the avid sick fic reader in me i forgot how much this trope lights my brain up like a christmas tree

[howmanyholesinswisscheese]

Mariana and John taking care of Sherlock is the found family trope I needed today

Love the illustration in The Reigate Squire

Holmes suddenly - out of nowhere - knocks a table over, like a feral cat. And Watson just has a „yeah, this might as well happen“-face. He is so done with his husband

Edit: HE IS BLAMING IT ON WATSON 😂

eight and a half minutes into the reigate squire part one and i love them all i love them all so much so so so much theyre so silly and goofy and i want to chew on them who let them all be so fucking perfect whoever it was deserves a raise and a bonus and paid time off but maybe not time off because i desperately need more of them all being silly and goofy and strange and lovely like genuinely sherlock panicking and ordering without thinking and then giving it to john to try is something i do all the time i love them so much i dont even have the words to articulate how much i thoroughly enjoy the simple domesticity and off time like the adventures and cases are incredible obviously but i LIVE for the simple moments like that or at the beginning when mariana and sherlock were teasing him for his atrocious handwriting like thats so cute so throuple to me bro

sorry for the absolutely Shit readability, this is an attempt at a thought purge to try and be normal for the rest of the day lmao

Listened to the Coules radio adaption of Reigate Squires and was a bit disappointed that they left out the strangling because I was sure Watson would be SO protective. But I was compensated by the way Watson very quietly says "Take care ... my friend" in the end, more to himself than to Holmes. <3
