A/N: Holmes finds some of Watson's notes.




I found Watson's attempt at cataloguing me long before he published it. He organized his notes meticulously but never hid them from my view. As I looked at his neatly written summary of my strengths and shortcomings, I knew I wanted to keep this man in my orbit as long as I could. His perspective would be invaluable to me.

Thank you. This is so in character - for both of them.

Hello:-)
Nicely done...Holmes would be fascinated.

What a lovely summary - and thus began one of the world's great partnerships.

Delighted to see your contribution.

Thank you so much for joining in ^^

What a lovely tribute to Watson. I love the fact that, though Holmes sees that his shortcomings as well as his strengths have been listed, he views it all in a positive light. And I love the little details that Holmes lets us see about the doctor - he's neat and organised, and he isn't secretive about his work.

Yes, no reason to hide the notes ;-)
Great entry!

I love that understated sweetness, the way he values seeing himself through Watson's eyes. Very Holmesian.

Exactly! And then Holmes would have to act piqued about them just a little bit in order to disguise his delight.
