"Those first few months of newfound physical intimacy with my dear friend Sherlock Holmes were some of the happiest of my life——yet unfortunately, the nature of his unique profession rendered his schedule inevitably unstable, and his emotions were often inclined to fluctuate with it. Our days of domestic bliss were therefore threatened by a dive into one of the morose phases that so frequently accompanied the periodical lack of new challenges for the great detective's mind."

Recs/Other

One of my favourite works of Sherlock Holmes fanfiction that I've ever read was "The Adventure of the Buttoned Glove", posted to Livejournal by an author named Penumbra or pen_and_umbra in 2004. It had a big impact on me when I read it in my youth and I've always remembered it fondly.

I also highly recommend the comic series "Watson's Sketchbook", available on the author's tumblr as well as in printed form.
