Winter Holmestice 2019 for “Rachelindeed”

The prompt I was given gave me a lot of room to pick and choose what things I liked the most, and from the get-go the dynamic and feelings my giftee asked for were 100000% my jam, so I struggled a lot to pick JUST ONE THING from all the wonderful ideas Rachelindeed gave me. 

However one stood out to me, and that was the infamous scene in “The Adventure of the Three Garridebs” where Watson is wounded but Holmes’ panic and rage prompts this delicious line:

“It was worth a wound, it was worth many wounds, to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask.(…) For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain. ”

Sadly Jeremy Brett’s health had declined so terribly by when this story got adapted by Granada that the story had to be heavily changed (and Holmes’ role substituted by Mycroft), so the fans weren’t able to enjoy this emotional scene played by Brett and (personally my favourite Watson) Edward Hardwicke.

So I humbly offer what I would love to think happened a short while after the case was over, Watson is almost completely recovered from his wound but Holmes is still shaken by his dear doctor’s near-death experience. Watson’s loyalty to him moves him beyond words and it’s only in intimate moments like these when he lets said “cold mask” drop and expresses his affection.

Honestly I just wanted to draw hands and a lot of smooching so here you go.

Just a few Granada Holmes pics I do not see around much.

Does anyone have a better version of the last one?? Me want!

I love the candid look of the first pic!

You’re a drama queen

quick smooch doodle

And I’ll tell you something else. I regret Moriarty’s death.

Holmes starting and Watson finishing a quote from “The Importance of Being Earnest” in The Eligible Bachelor. 

‘To lose one parent, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose three [wives] looks like carelessness.’

The original Oscar Wilde quote (from The Importance of Being Earnest):  ‘To lose one parent, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.’

^ What if we substitute the phrase sibling in place of “parent” or “wife”? Yes, I am invoking The Other One. 

The Final Problem radio trailer had another “Importance of Being Earnest” quote: ’The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.’ (x)
