Edge
Holmes very often lost himself in the shadows and pitfalls of black moods and cocaine induced hazes, but whenever he went too far to find his own way out of the shadows his brilliant mind created, Watson was always there to pull him back before he came too close to the edge.
Fog
Even as a man who enjoyed solitude, Holmes had to admit that there was nothing more lonely than hiding out on the moor with no one to keep you company besides the mist and the haunting sounds that floated on the wind.
Ghost
When Lestrade fell asleep in the sitting room of 221B after a long and tiresome stakeout, Holmes and Watson discovered that they weren't the only ones whose dreams were often haunted by unwanted memories.
Handle
Despite his brother's insistences that he could look after himself, Mycroft Holmes was greatly relieved to find that Sherlock had at last acquired a partner to watch his back whenever things became too difficult for the younger Holmes to handle on his own.
A/N: Thanks to Spockologist, AdidasandPie, and Hades Lord of the Dead for the lovely word prompts. Hope I was able to do them justice. Now I need some prompts for the letters I-L, so if anyone has any ideas please send them my way – and while you're at it, leave me a review, k? :)
