    Summary

    “You know how I feel about baseless superstition, Watson.” Watson’s eyebrow remains firmly raised, a familiar expression to Holmes after all their years of cohabitation. “No, I simply looked at the front page of our ever-illustrious daily newspaper.” He gestures blithely at said discarded newspaper. “A newspaper that runs a story about a mundane heist on its front page cannot have anything more substantial to offer within its depths.”

    Watson’s face morphs into another familiar look: equal parts exasperation and fondness, a certain softness lingering about his gaze even as his eyebrows furrow the slightest bit. Like the good doctor cannot decide which he feels most strongly, Holmes thinks, a warm feeling in the centre of his chest.

    Summary

    Watson is nodding off beside me, and after four hours of watching out of a window to no avail, it must be confessed that I too have begun to feel the tugging of exhaustion on my eyelids.
    --
    Up late for a case, Holmes takes the time to admire his Watson while getting them both ready for bed.

    Summary

    Finding Holmes prostrate on the floor of that accursed tower room made my blood run cold. He was alone in the room and the door had been locked from the inside, and for a moment, I feared the legend had been true after all, and that Holmes was well and truly dead.
