A Layman’s Guide to the Holmes/Watson Relationship
In the past week, this site has seen a dramatic surge in visitors (and for this I thank you, Guy Ritchie). Many of them are emailing, wanting more information on Holmes and Watson, and their relationship. While I still recommend reading Canon and then my series, Decoding the Subtext, I thought providing a summary of Holmes and Watson’s relationship, as found in Canon, would prove useful.
So here is a more or less chronological (hard to do as not all the stories are dated, or dated correctly) summary of their relationship, along with the key Holmes/Watson stories all newcomers to the pairing should read. If I’ve missed anything, please feel free to let me know, and I’ll add it to the table. As I attempt my annual winter re-reading of Canon, I may add to the table myself.

Welcome to the new home of With Love, S.H.!
As you can see, we’ve upgraded to a blog-style format (using the lovely wordpress) in order to create a more interactive, reader-friendly site. You can now comment on entries, subscribe to the site RSS feed, and search the site using the handy search box, the tag system, or even by category.
So far, nothing new has been added. As of today, I’ve merely transferred everything over from the old site. This is about to change, as I finally have the time and energy needed to get back to my reviewing. In the days to come, expect a couple of new film reviews, as well as the long awaited Russian Television Series review. I hope you enjoy the new site, and my sincere apologies for the hiatus.
