I enjoyed so much this evocative hurt/comfort! Absolutely loved the points about Watson being an equal colleague, a full-fledged investigator in his own right, whose voracious reading and encyclopaedic knowledge complements Holmes more specific directions of study. Vulnerable Holmes is my jam in general. And I loved how patient Watson is. Solid. Faithful. Constant. This captures Watson’s essence. He is wise to wait and not to press Holmes unless it’s really necessary. He also knows when to put his foot down and clean the wound which has been festering for too long. I hope this story will be posted on AO3 because I’d like to bookmark it ;)
