Truly, the women of the Sherlock Holmes canon and the surrounding media are beautiful and excellent and messy and awful and human, human, human... and the fandom does not deserve them.

FAQ
A Sherlock Holmes adaptation I think too many people forget about
Beth: Every Thanksgiving, the White House gets sent two turkeys. The most photo-friendly of the two gets a Presidential pardon and a full life at a children's zoo. The runner-up gets eaten. Holmes: If the Oscars were like that, I'd watch.
Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century fandom needs some sillies too
Also, I think we need more Victorian settings where we casually mention the most batshit things about the era when you least expect or want them. Not the gross shit, the funny shit
She should've killed his ass, honestly.

Additional Tags: Mentioned John Watson, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, let’s just say that I have taken a number of liberties with the canon, but also the show doesn’t even have internal consistency within the same episode so like, Dystopia, Grief/Mourning, In a sense, Unrequited Love, in a sense????, Wrong Watson Feelings, obsessed with the fact that that tag exists, Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms, Delusions, Suicide Attempt, poor holmes, Identity Issues, Androids Feeling Emotions, Internalized Android Discrimination, what a tag, Bittersweet Ending, this fic is just me going insane about the deeply upsetting implications of a children’s cartoon, title taken from “world.execute(me);” by Mili
Summary:
He knows he isn’t Watson. Not really. No matter how much he wishes he were.
But he tries to be all the same.
(Or, the unnecessary diary of a machine, and his fond observations of a broken man.)

Your story was heartbreakingly beautiful.
The first fic I read for that canon was this one on fanfiction.net. I hope you enjoy.
