    Summary

    In which Holmes poses for a portrait for a case, and Watson finds himself trapped in purgatory during the duration.

    Seeing John there, standing at the door in the context of their old life together, makes Sherlock beam. He argues with his face to tame the obscene earnestness of his smile, but he loses the fight.
    “Hello, John.” ... Have you any idea how much I miss you?

    Summary

    I rather liked the thought of a quiet country retreat. “Then our host likes living here. Had I the money,” I said with a smile to match Holmes’s. “A little cottage by the sea would be my idea of heaven.”
    He looked my reflection in the eye for a few seconds, then clasped my shoulders gently from behind.
    “Let’s go downstairs and see what we can do for Lord Osmington.”
