    Summary

    Sherlock Holmes won't put John Watson in harm's way, no matter how much they love each other. In fact, he'll do anything to keep him safe--including dying and coming back to life again. But Watson doesn't want safety: he wants Holmes.
     
    “So,” he said slowly. “What is it you expect, then? Shall we sit across the breakfast table and gaze longingly at each other over the butter dish, silently breaking into pieces? Shall we retire to our separate bedrooms each night, and listen to each other breathing through the wall?”

    “Yes,” I answered, for when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

    Summary

    In which Sherlock Holmes locates his heart, John Watson learns what it's like to burn, and there is no darkness that cannot be made bright.

    ' "Really, Watson, you excel yourself," said Holmes, pushing back his chair and lighting a cigarette. "I am bound to say that in all the accounts which you have been so good as to give of my own small achievements you have habitually underrated your own abilities. It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but you are a conductor of light. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it. I confess, my dear fellow, that I am very much in your debt." ' - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, "The Hound of the Baskervilles"
