Verse: Granada TV Show
Characters/Pairings: Sherlock Holmes & John Watson
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: None
Summary: Watson slowly made his way towards the stairs but stopped as he passed by Holmes’ closed bedroom door. There were faint noises coming from Holmes’ bedroom, noises of distress. Watson hesitated, unsure of what to do. His instinct was to enter the room and try to help Holmes, but Watson did not know if his help would be welcome, especially as he would have to intrude on Holmes’ personal space to do so.

Verse: Doyle - Canon
Characters/Pairings: Holmes & Watson, Mycroft
Rating: Teen
Warnings: Brief mentions of drug use and violence
Summary: When two near-strangers intended to share lodgings, it was best that they knew the worst of each other before they entered into an agreement.

Holmes was an excellent violinist and a habitual user of morphia, but Watson did not know that yet. Nor did he know that he could be reduced to stupefied despair by a full moon.

Summary: Of course a nice holiday with Holmes in this remote and unpeopled corner of England would inevitably become, in short order, The Cornish Horror, but that is a story for another time.

Watson and Holmes have come to a lonely part of Cornwall, but they are alone together.
