Canon Story: The Adventure of the Norwood Builder

By the third time Holmes starved himself into unconsciousness I was no longer surprised, but the visceral fear caused by watching him crumple motionless to the floor remained as powerful as ever.

When he woke, I told him the truth.

"Your heart may be strong enough for this mistreatment, but mine is not."

I waited. The fourth occurrence never came.

Well done! I was intrigued by that throwaway line... glad to see you picked it up and did something with it.

This just made me awwww so hard... I love friendshippy/shippy moments like this where Watson takes care of Holmes, well done!

Very, very lovely! And the perfect way to start into the new week - thank you! :)

Ah, I'm so glad to hear that! Thank you!

Thanks. Much appreciated!

*blushes* Why thank you! That's very kind of you to say!

I was struck by the line too. Poor Watson, with so much to put up with. Even now, after Holmes' return from the dead, he has to watch him in case he faints from hunger. The doctor deserves better.

Thank you very much!

I'm a big sucker for shippy H/C myself, so it was fun to try to squeeze some into 60 words. I'm thrilled you liked it!
