Another Case of Identity by Miss Roylott (Cress221)

Summary
I'm still having trouble continuing Madness, so instead I will post a treat for readers who didn't like how "A Case of Identity" ended. This is an alternate version of how Mary Morstan decides she must intervene for Mary Sutherland, while Holmes remains jealous of Watson's marriage. This was originally part of a different fanfic of mine involving Helen Stoner of "The Speckled Band", but ultimately I decided to cut it, because it makes Mary Watson feel unrealistic and makes Holmes feel too angsty. But it is enjoyable to see Mary prove that she isn't a third wheel and can certainly be "most useful" to a detective.

Set in 1895 during the Oscar Wilde scandal. An asexual Holmes realizes that Watson is in love with him, and because he's a Victorian, he thinks Watson is ill and/or insane to have such feelings. However, Holmes doesn't reject Watson, because he feels guilty about faking his death. He confesses that he loves Watson and will do anything to protect him from scandal or prison.

Summary
So apparently, Michael is into scuba diving, and Gob goes scuba diving while eating Captain Crunch. Here's a little alternate scene from season 5, at the secret little beach cottage. We also get memories of a past underage flirtation Michael had with Gob in the early 1980s. They were about 12 and 14.

The Best And Wisest Adaptation I Have Ever Known: The Granada Holmes Rewatch by PlaidAdder

Summary
This is a complete collection of episode reviews for the Sherlock Holmes series filmed and broadcast between 1984 and 1995 by Granada Television (now ITV Granada) starring Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes and David Burke & Edward Hardwicke as Dr. Watson. I re/watched the whole series in the summer of 2017, because the entire world was on fire and I needed a diversion. I have been reading Holmes and Watson as a couple for at least 30 years now, so that perspective informs all of these reviews. There are occasional comparisons to what happened with Sherlock. Also, I usually discuss the canon story on which any given episode was based. As with all the other rewatches posted here, I am critical, but always from a place of love.
All of these reviews were first posted to tumblr and will be cross-posted more or less intact. There may have to be slight adjustments made depending on whether AO3 treats the GIFs properly. Enjoy them again, or for the first time!

Summary
“Are you a spirit?” I asked.
“Tch! It is extraordinarily hasty to wander into the realms of the preternatural on such scant evidence. You will find I am as corporeal as you.”
“I am not so certain about that, Holmes,” I said raggedly, unable to raise my voice to more than a whisper. “You have no pulse.”
(The Return of Sherlock Holmes... Or something like him.)
