Blackstairs - Tumblr Posts

I recently had a conversation with some new acquaintances who had only read TMI, and we somehow got to a point where one of them said that shipping parabatai would basically be like incest- I didn’t have the heart to tell them what the Dark Artifices are about 😭

TSC discourse I saw on twitter I never thought I'd see: People saying that shipping Heronstairs is incest.

“Whether you see their relationship as platonic or romantic, their’s is one of needing each other always, even when they don’t particularly want to need each other. Watson would follow Holmes to the end of the Earth, and Holmes would become lost within himself without Watson.”

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?! KIT AND TY OR WHAT!? DO YOU SEE WHAT @cassandraclare DID RIGHT THERE!? IcOnIc

The Detective and His Doctor

There will never be a greater partnership than that of Holmes and Watson. 

Whether you see their relationship as platonic or romantic, their’s is one of needing each other always, even when they don’t particularly want to need each other. Watson would follow Holmes to the end of the Earth, and Holmes would become lost within himself without Watson.

A crop and a laptop, a knife and a watch, a violin and a cup of tea, a bottle of pills and an itchy trigger finger, a death wish in the form of a syringe or a pistol. 

His drug and his war.

Two halves of a whole, destined soulmates, irrevocably linked. 

Moriarty nor Magnussen could never elicit a world such that Holmes or Watson would be separated, whether through death or otherwise.

Mycroft and Lestrade would support and protect both men undoubtedly, but Holmes and Watson would do such for each other until their dying breath. 

Mary or Irene could only provide a romantic relationship which would fall lifetimes short of what these two men could offer each other, if given the chance.

Across countless different lifetimes, storylines, and universes, there is always the lighting sharp wit and the strong, steady patience, the brain and the heart, the druggie and the soldier, the scientist and the blogger, the detective and the doctor.

Always the detective and his doctor.

And it is always 1895.
