Exhibit A:
“I have never loved, Watson, but if I did and if the woman I loved had met such an end, I might act even as our lawless lion-hunter has done. Who knows?”
- The Adventure of the Devil's Foot
Exhibit B:
“You are right,” he cried with an immense sigh of relief. “It is quite superficial.” His face set like flint as he glared at our prisoner, who was sitting up with a dazed face. “By the Lord, it is as well for you. If you had killed Watson, you would not have got out of this room alive. Now, sir, what have you to say for yourself?”
- The Adventure of the Three Garridebs
Sherlock Holmes really said

DEAR SIBLINGS IN DOYLE! News from the doc!
Holmes has a SUSPECT at the very least. An idea! (Kepp your gay in check, Watson, you'll be able to kiss his err... eager questioning eyes later.)
MMNNNNNHHHHH! suspicious
Also, Holmes, explain your idea, you're giving the inspector a heart attack... almost.
I'd leave the comment of this to our doctor, as we managed to interview him.
interviewer: Doctor Watson, what would you think would improve your husband's detective work?
Watson: I'll phrase this as i would do talking to him. Holmes. Behave.
Our doc is soooo exhasperated!
Finally! A younger ssibling! Recognizing older siblings are cool uwu!
Also, WATSON! I GET it you want to ravish him, i ACCEPT it and praise you for it, but you live in a place where your relationship is illegal. You are being very gay here, be careful, please.
Guy is clearly staring at his husband with the biggest heart eyes in history.
Ah! And here's the idea!
Also i love how Watson is now able to follow his deductions! It's so nice to see how he caught up on Holmes' methods!
Now, on with the investigation!
I leave the comment of this to a most authoritative voice then my own.
Yep. Old guy croaked.
AT LEAST HE WAITED TILL THEY WERE IN THE CAB THANKS GOD. No 'how gratiiii- INTERESTING' with colonel Valentine. God be thanked, Watson didn't have a stroke just then and there. Off to the Cadogan Wests!
Another Violet, Doyle? I should be used to you by now. Well, girl is very in love and very clear as she speaks. I guess both Holmes and Watson like her!
oh no.
FUCK NO, BOY! What the hell!
Damn.
Poor girl. At least in the granada adaptation he just tells her to go the heck home. Poor girl. Holmes doesn't believe Cadogan West guilty. But the facts point there.
Wellwell. Enter old guy N2 who DID NOT croak overnight aaaand looks quite upset.
QUITE upset.
The objection begin to piiiiiile! Very good!
Ah so the spy who stole the plans via englishman x does not, in fact, have in his hands the way to build the sub. most interesting. And this leads to the brand new hypotesis.
And now let's see if Mycroft sent the list!
Apparently he did, sending good info! Mycroft is one NICE big brother. Here's the letter...
...and Sherlock's reaction!
Uh! Quite excited, slap on the shoulder (the good one, i hope), peck on the cheek and out. Watson is having a bit of a 'should i wait up?' concerned husband face, but he'll recover!
And sure he recovered when his husband invited him a little danger date!
Dress pretty, join me at our fave restaurant and bring the tools! Gonna have fun!
I wonder what's cooking...

[ID: A digital illustration of Dr John Watson and Sherlock Holmes from the Granada Television Sherlock Holmes series. The illustration is based on a screencap from The Solitary Cyclist. Watson stands holding a bowl with one hand and tending to an injury on Holmes' forehead with the other as Holmes sits in front of him. Holmes looks pleased with himself and Watson looks slightly grumpy. End description.]
Ended up rewatching a lot of Granada Holmes episodes after rewatching the Sherlock Holmes episode of Star Trek TNG and now here we are

Lemme tell you about a horse. And Sherlock Holmes.
As you know, I'm a big fan of the 1984 Granada Sherlock Holmes series and I've watched it through a couple of times now. But I'm also a horse person, and so naturally, I took note of the horses used for filming. They obviously had a limited pool of horses to use so many of them appear and reappear throughout the series. But one horse caught my eye. She was a beautiful chunky little chestnut mare (I think) and she was EVERYWHERE. Right through from season one until The Master Blackmailer, which I believe was her final appearance, there are very few episodes where her face doesn't appear. And when I say she was everywhere I really do mean it. She appeared so often and in so many places that it became a joke between @lyracalmuse and I that she was the mastermind behind every crime Holmes investigated, because there was no reason for her to be present at so many otherwise.
So she gained the nickname, Mareiarty, the Marengo of Crime.
For some reason I couldn't get her out of my head. I wanted to make her so badly. So now I am.
Here's the picture I'm using for the reference for her pose. I picked it because I like the bunched up energy and want to try and capture it. My reference document for her is over 70 pages long, all screencaps from the show where she appears. She's kind of taken over my brain, I can only assume with malicious intent.
Yes that's 221b behind her.
