It seems to me that every time Watson insists that, for the good of Holmes's health, he must go on a holiday to the country...wherever they go there is murder and burglaries and, well, basically, a mystery for Holmes to solve.
So...Holmes is rather ill and run down. Watson takes him to the country. A case pops up. I'm really looking for one of two things:
1. Watson puts his foot down. He tracks down the miscreants himself or he locks Holmes in a room, or whatever but he is not going to let Holmes's rest and relaxation be ruined yet again.
2. Watson isn't able to stop him and Holmes's health is seriously effected; for once another case is NOT just the cure he was looking for to save him from his latest illness. It puts him seriously at risk.
So basically I want sick!Holmes with either a dose of silliness and humor or seriousness and hurt/comfort or some mix of all these things. Any verse.

Mmm, this is off to a great start. I'm a sucker for casefic. And Chichester! I know that city very well, so I was ridiculously pleased to see (if only a tiny bit of) action taking place there. I'm just glad that it isn't its church that is on fire :)
(I'd hoped to have this up yesterday, but I unexpectedly had to use that internet time to straighten out an issue of Amazon sending me the wrong thing.)

Suffocation scares the crap out of me. I like how you made it so subtle - at first, it almost seems there is nothing seriously wrong with Holmes but then he slowly degenerates, and there is nothing Watson can do about it but watch.

Written with canon in mind, but there aren't any specific details that will keep anyone from imagining their preferred 'verse. :)
