Holmes/Watson commission for my dear friend Holly, who asked for retirement era boys sitting on a bench in their garden and holding hands
"lestrade doesn't possess the methods i use to solve mysteries. for example, he couldn't possibly know on sight that your bedroom window is to the right of your shaving mirror"
"but holmes, how do you know that!"
"I memorized your morning routine by heart and I've been staring at your jawline since we boarded this train"
no seriously I'm obsessed with this
"i know you shave every morning" reasonable, you can usually tell when someone comes down to breakfast and they've just shaved
"and in these months you prefer to do it by sunlight" literally how the fuck do you know that holmes. holmes. answer me.
either holmes was in watson's bedroom while he went through his morning routine often enough to note the seasonal change (a classic), watson mentioned it offhand once and holmes treasured that minuscule detail in a special mental box for future reference (adorable), or they actually used to shave together in the morning when they both still lived at 221B (unbearably domestic)
honestly I can't decide which i love more
early days watson is shaving by the window one morning since spring is finally coming up when holmes comes into his bedroom, face betrayed and half covered in shaving cream like "where were you, I've been waiting for you for 20 minutes :("
Sherlock Holmes be like ‘I know a spot’ and it’ll either be a gruesome murder or a classical concert but Watson will go with him regardless of which it is

The tracks in which he sings are:
I love it when you make these kinda linky posts :)
I understand that there is no audience for bibisi sherlock content in 2022, but this is the egg my mind-chicken pushed out today, so... I fried it up and here it is
Holmes probably saw Watson’s ‘his limits’ list, probably saw how shy, withdrawn, listless and unwell Watson was and thought ‘this man is clearly curious and likely interested in deduction. He also needs help gaining strength and confidence. Maybe taking him on a case will cheer him up, bring him out of his shell a bit’. Holmes helps people in a very practical way; he solves problems for them. He applied a similar idea to Watson, and it worked. We often talk about how Watson saves Holmes but Holmes saved Watson too <3
It’s a fucking travesty that there is not a single fic where Holmes tries to go undercover as a soldier and Watson just laughs in his face because he’s So Fucking Bad At It and ends up doing it for him and Holmes is just [horny grips] the entire fucking time. Or even one where Watson fixes his posture, smooths down the uniform, drills him with questions, teaches him bawdy songs and limericks etc and Holmes is just reeling over it for Multiple Reasons
