John has often told me that he cannot begin to repay Stamford for the fortuitous suggestion that first sent him to share rooms with Mr. Holmes.

I understand completely, for Mrs. Cecil Forrester has my eternal gratitude. Her suggestion, when I was confused and frightened, sent me to Baker Street, where I'd come to seek advice and found a spouse.

Perfect!

Thanks. Much as I love Holmes/Watson, I also love John/Mary as a couple.

It's the same for me. John/Mary pre-Reichenbach Holmes/Watson (and others at times) post.

Very true! Nice parallel!

Perhaps this man can clear up the confusion around...Say, who's that adorable fellow taking notes behind Mr. Holmes?

As Okapi says, a very nice parallel ^__^

And as your title gives a nod to - Watson may be the one to explicitly say he's found a treasure, but Mary certainly finds one too ^___^

She's the daughter of a subContinental Army officer - Watson must have set off every "just like my father" instinct in her when she showed.

Neatly linked:-)

Thanks. Fond as I am of the Holmes/Watson pairing, I adore the John/Mary one too.
