60s - Speckled Band, Resident Patient, Noble Bachelor

Canon story: The Speckled Band
Title: On Shared Merriment
POV: Watson, then Holmes

Having readied myself to take action, I could not help but smile at Holmes’s remarks. Crocuses, indeed! His subsequent demonstration was clear proof that my companion had no need to give any more weight to the doctor’s threats than that which those crocuses represented.

Watson and I enjoyed a good chuckle after Roylott’s departure; my favourite memory of the case.

Title: One Ramble Taken, Another Missed
A/N: There was a lot of talk of plot holes in the discussion on this story. This inspired me to take Watson’s observation that he cannot fix the date of this case exactly “for some of my memoranda upon the matter have been mislaid” and give Holmes a failed plan to complement that.

“You are exceedingly energetic this evening, my dear doctor.” His companion was vigorously sifting through a stack of papers. He lazily bowed a few staccato notes to illustrate.

“I cannot imagine where those pages have got to, Holmes.”

“You’re habitually very careful. Perhaps a stroll...”

“No, I set aside this time specifically.”

The violin produced a sulky glissando in response.

Canon story: The Noble Bachelor
Title: All Seasons

I have spent bleak autumnal evenings, chill hibernal twilights, drenched vernal mornings, and stifling estival noons with Holmes over the course of our partnership. Such has been my privilege.

The strains of my friend’s violin have stained the grain of our days in Baker Street with beauty no matter the weather. Permanently resident there or not, I never truly left.
