I absolutely love these. Maybe a queer graphic novel adaptation of Sherlock Holmes is in order?

Molly when she sees a fictional pairing of a Byronic hero & his plump, cheerful, adoring companion: “this bad boy can fit so much gay angst in it!”

These classical authors can't keep getting away with this (sneaking very obvious gay subplots into their two main characters)(I really hope more got away with it lol)!!!

"If you had killed Watson, you would not have got out of this room alive." ALRIGHT THAT'S A LINE FOR THE AGES

When you consider that in an earlier story Holmes says he has never loved, but if he had he would kill for the one he loves…….ok!!!

It was the highlight of my day to see you’d posted this!! This is my FAVORITE scene, in all the Sherlock Holmes narratives, certainly, but also one of the most heartfelt moment from just about anything I’ve read! ♥️
