“People have often asked me whether I knew the end of a Holmes story before I started it. Of course I do. One could not possibly steer a course if one did not know one’s destination. The first thing is to get your idea. Having got that key idea one’s next task is to conceal it and lay emphasis upon everything which can make for a different explanation. Holmes, however, can see all the fallacies of the alternatives, and arrives more or less dramatically at the true solution by steps which he can describe and justify.”

Granada Holmes is just like… The absolute softest Holmes adaptation. Chinchilla fur and cotton candy soft. So soft you sink into it like an enormous ball pit full of marshmallows. Make me a sweater out of Granada Holmes
this is sherlock hound erasure
Fair.
*cough* and Howard Holmes
True. Admittedly also Old Russian Holmes
Granada Holmes: That cozy knitted sweater that is really warm and soft and that still smells a little like wood smoke from that last time you sat by a camp fire.
Howard Holmes: Your favourite hoodie that you’ve had since you were 14 and that still fits somehow. It’s a bit worn but it never lets you down and it smells like home.
Russian Holmes: That fine cardigan with leather elbow pads that makes you feel very classy, but that is also great for curling up in a chair with a good book when your dinner guests have gone home.
Omg yes
Random person: “BBC Sherlock cannot be a romance because their relationship was always platonic in the books.”
Arthur Conan Doyle: “We had a first-class carriage to ourselves — and laying a hand upon each of my knees he looked into my eyes with the peculiarly mischievous gaze which was characteristic of his more imp-like moods.”
John grinds multivitamins and flax seed into Sherlock’s pancakes.
Sherlock slowly replaced John’s cheap toiletries with brands that smell better. He started with a half and half mixture and eventually transitioned to full bottles.
John “found” an 18th century tuning fork for Sherlock’s violin case by stalking Ebay auctions for three weeks.
Sherlock usually clicks the kettle on as soon as he hears the creak of John’s bed.
John silently removes Sherlock’s nicotine patches when he’s been in his Mind Palace too long.
The night John got dumped, he had made “that thing with the peas,” but Sarah left before he could serve it. Sherlock ate half the pot when he woke up and pronounced it his new favorite.
John once found a set of dentures on a train station bench, grimaced, and wrapped them up into his coat pocket with a takeaway napkin so Sherlock could spend the whole afternoon tracking down their owner.
Sherlock buys pre-packaged diner sugar after Baskerville until John tells him it’s quite alright, he trusts him.
When John introduced Harry and Sherlock over Skype, he laughed extra hard at Sherlock’s jokes so she could see how happy they were. Sherlock got so distracted looking at the window of their faces together that he forgot to deduce Harry.
Sherlock figured out how to permanently disconnect the street lamp that always glares directly onto John’s bed at night. City workers have tried to replace it three times.
John used his credit card purchases to convince Mycroft that Sherlock had mono for six weeks and couldn’t work any cases for him.
Sherlock secretly asked Angelo to stop putting candles between them at dinner because he saw how uncomfortable it made John.
Not even a month later, John secretly asked Angelo where all the candles had gone and could he put them back please?
