Yk I’m reading through ACD Canon and I’ve only gotten to about halfway through the Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes but I find it extremely amusing how little Mary Morstan appears.
Like John Watson really married this woman and then spent the rest of his life making vague allusions to her before going “ANYWAY now onto my much more interesting and very close friend and companion Sherlock Holmes, who is the light of my life” and I respect him for that.

So we stood hand in hand, like two children, and there was peace in our hearts for all the dark things that surrounded us.

Mary Morstan reading The Sign of the Four and seeing the passages where Watson was professing her love to her despite the fact that her version of it was watching Holmes and Watson gaze into each other’s eyes lovingly and sneak off on their own then living together again afterwards and having very little contact with her again, connecting the dots and realising she was a plot device.

Domesticity in The Sign Of Four
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the domestic stuff in the chapter The Baker Street Irregulars?
So basically what happens, is after a midnight goose chase (ft. Holmes and Toby the mongrel) and the three of them return to 221B, Watson is tired and in an iffy mood. He goes upstairs to take a shower and a change of clothes, and when he comes down again, breakfast is already laid and Holmes is pouring out the coffee ^_^
After a chat about how nothing new's going on in the case, Watson asks Holmes:
"...Are you going to bed, Holmes?" "No. I am not tired. I have a curious constitution. I never remember feeling tired by work, though idleness exhausts me completely..."
And Holmes then explains to Watson the mystery of the criminal's accomplice, the savage until he notices Watson is tired, and plays a beautiful melody on his violin which he composed himself to lull his friend to sleep...
"...Look here Watson; you look regularly done. Lie down there on the sofa and see if I can put you to sleep." He took up his violin from the corner, and as I stretched myself out, he began to play some low, dreamy, melodious air - his own, no doubt, for he had a remarkable gift for improvisation. I have a vague remembrance of his gaunt limbs, his earnest face and the rise and fall of his bow. Then I seemed to be floated peacefully away on a soft sea of sound until I found myself in dreamland...
Ironically, this is also the story where Watson gets married - some people think that the above is a last ditch effort on the part of Holmes to keep his companion... 🥲😭

Long Shot -Fic Search Victorian Sherlock Holmes
So this is a LONG shot that I'm throwing out into the tumbler universe. Years ago I read a Victorian AU where Holmes created Mary Morstan as a cover so that he could be with Watson. They were using it to deflect comments about Watson being a bachelor for so long. They eventually I think even did get "Mary" and Watson married. Holmes lived both lives until Reichenbach when he choose to become Mary full time.  Eventually Watson convinces Holmes to let "mary" die and become Holmes again because he can't bear to see Holmes wasting away.  I think I remember that Holmes as Mary during the Hiatus directs Watson through solving several crimes.
I don't think it was a transgender fic as I think Holmes was mostly cross dressing as Mary to protect them from period typical homophobia. 
Thanks for any thoughts!
