MUSG: Montague Street

Montague Street by mistyzeo
Canon Story: The Musgrave Ritual
Rated G - no warnings.

I did not tell Watson the most important thing about my rooms in Montague Street: that they were miserable. Although during my time at University I had chosen to exist in solitary, taking a flat on my own was a new experience. It wasn't until much later, with Watson at my side, that I knew how unhappy I had been.

Nice job! I also get the feeling that Watson complemented or completed Holmes and that the Great Detective knew it. I bet that Montague Street flat was messy, too! :)

they are yin and yang, i tell you. :D

I can imagine, from personal experience. It's important to have one's own realm, but not necessarily on a lonely island.

So true! I find being alone on purpose much more pleasant.

This is sweet. And very true, that so often future experiences show the true facts about earlier ones.

A nice take on this. The idea that he did not know how well he could belong somewhere else is an appealing one.

Very sweet. I love that he didn't realize he had been unhappy and lonely until after Watson was at Baker Street with him.

I love this, very sweet. Of course he didn't know what he was missing before Watson.

Aw, that's very sweet. No wonder Holmes was so desperate to find a flatmate. Fortunate for him he found the right one. :-)
