First of all, I must address the matter of your shameless A/N. You, my good Anon, are responsible for severe pain on my behalf.
Otherwise, the fic was lovely! Hooray for Watson's adventure! I love how he became something of an expert of opiates halfway through the investigation, and how everything he did was perfectly in character: not only did he want to help Talland solve the case but he also wanted to live up to Holmes' recommendation. There's some very subtle fluff here but it's there all the same: Holmes protecting Watson, their general worry over the other, and how Watson's advice saves Holmes in the end. Again, subtle but lovely.
And Watson himself! Like I said above, he was perfectly in character; you made him impressive and competent without changing a single aspect of him, the way some other fics do. Like how he allowed himself to lose (that was funny about him losing his waistcoat XD) so as not to raise suspicion, how he helped Hodges (while not being very impressed), and finally how he helped Goliath. All in all, I absolutely adored this fic :) Thanks, Anon!
