Canon story: The Second Stain
A/N: It's such a great moment when Holmes springs into action here. It was fantastic in the Granada episode as well. It's also a nice subtle moment when Holmes uses his ability to disguise himself in a slightly different capacity.
*****
Of course I was curious what had sent Holmes into such a state, scrabbling frantically at the floorboards. However, I had already learned it was best to obey, and obey quickly, the orders being snapped at me. Explanation could be expected later. It was all I could do to hide my grin just an instant afterward. Bored to death indeed!

This is all he has been hoping for.

The complete panic which had affected him once he understood Holmes had sent for him, must be in so bad a state that he admitted to needing his Watson; the emotion might have paralyzed him, except that instead it set him instantly into action. Anything to reach Holmes.

I knew there were seventeen steps. I cannot explain why I denied knowing. Perhaps it was simply falling into an old habit to allow Holmes to enlighten me; perhaps, indeed, I had missed his doing so more than I realized. Or perhaps it was because I did not know how many steps led to the door of my own establishment.

chess_ka and azriona. I was inspired by your 60s for this story. Also to debriswoman because it isn't verse, but it wasn't until I thought of you that I realized I should format this differently.

They learn their pas de trois slowly.
It is an evolution
a revolution
a revelation in fact
and happily not a dissolution.
Suppliants come,
will always come
both to Holmes and to Mary.
This is simply the way things are
the way they have been,
and will be.
Watson sees.
He learns to observe.
He helps whenever he is able.
