Sherlock Holmes — "A Scandal in Bohemia" (01.01)

I love how because of all the Sherlock Holmes adaptations you can pick which version of gay Holmes/Watson you want: toxic queer baiting (BBC), hyper physically affectionate (Soviet), friends with benefits (50s series), old married couple (Rathbone movies), going through a divorce (Guy Richie movies), soulmates in an open relationship because Watson too bi (Bert Coules radio drama), spend the rest of their lives together (Bee Keeper’s Picnic), trauma bonded (Sherlock Holmes The Awakened), and newly dating to old married couple (Granda).

Absolutely love it when fics have Holmes trying to play off an injury as less serious than it actually is, but let's be real - that man is dramatic. If he was a dog, he'd be the type to fake a paw injury for extra treats and attention but forget which foot he used.

he's just a stray cat who went from running at the sound of the front door opening to screaming for love before Watson can even take his coat off. it took many, many nights of Watson sitting on the floor and holding tobacco in his palm while going pspspspsp.

Yeah no words just this

BRO PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER YOUR IN PUBLIC. SETTLE DOWN

“The masterful personality of Holmes dominated the tragic scene, and all were equally puppets in his hands” LIKE. HONEY. PLEASE.

Holmes and Watson are “partners in crime” but only because they are gay in the Victorian era, which is a crime. That and I guess also because they hit a man with a chair and like trespassing and all that but it’s mostly the gay thing.
