Second Watson?

[john-loves-paul.livejournal.com]

So, I'd really love to read a story where Holmes and Watson have to work/interact whatever, with a third person and Holmes unusually takes a liking to them, or at least Watson thinks so and is hurt by how Holmes seems to disregard him. Maybe because the other person is better at deduction than Watson? or something like that. In the end, of course ;) Holmes makes it all up to Watson and shows him who his one and only friend is.

Basically, and story where Watson gets pushed in the background a bit by someone else. I'd prefer canon or Granada verse, but BBC verse is fine as well.


also, I love stories where Holmes is protective/supportive of Watson, so if you know any good ones, let me know :D all verses are appreciated, though as always, my first love is canon.

Maybe John Watson wasn't as brilliant as she was, but he was smart enough to realize when he was being replaced...

For temporarily replaced Watson there's the series that starts with Dissolution http://thingsbaker.livejournal.com/2186.html , You are an Emergency http://thingsbaker.livejournal.com/3126.html and The Inheritor http://thingsbaker.livejournal.com/2842.html
It's BBC Sherlock verse, Sherlock/John


I think all of these are pretty well known, but just in case, these are some canon verse protective!Holmes.
