Summary
John Watson returned to London at the end of the war a battered and broken man, without family or friends to call upon in his time of need. It was providence and Stamford that brought us together: me an eccentric theorist on the verge of his first big discovery, and he an invalid in need of safe harbor.
“You will be pleased to hear, I’m sure,” said he, “that I have found some gainful employment.”
Holmes discovers Watson is posing for pornographic photography to make the rent.

Summary
John is too quiet. Sherlock whisks him away to the sea.
They sit in silence for long moments, watching the sun begin its descent into the horizon as the light slowly fades to a glorious gold. Their arms brush occasionally as they sip their stout, and Sherlock feels each touch like an open flame, waiting. For what, he's not sure.
