GUYS! LETTER. FROM. OUR DEAR WATSON!
LET'S START!
Watson apologizes for not having been able to write but we forgive him, it's the holidays and he's been busy, of course, now he's willing to tell us some more extensive cases and he starts from the very beginning! From how he and his husband met!
Watson got his medical degree and enlisted and well... the second Afghan war wasn't nice on him
Watson is one lucky bastard to have survived such a wound and the consequent infections, but he gets so ill that he gets packed up and sent back to England as soon as he can survive a ship's voyage. To a England where he has... no one
I want to hug him so TIGHT. You're not an idler, Watson, you are RECOVERING.
Well, since our dear Watson IS young and stupid but not so stupid after a while he realizes that he needs lodgings that will cost him a bit less and when he decides and acts on this he gets struck by luck once again! He meets an old friend of his and invites him for lunch
Poor Watson. He will recover! Oh well, the first man who put that question? Oh, only your future husband, doctor. No i've said nothing - innocent smile -
BIOTECH PRIDE HERE: HOLMES NEVER EVEN TRIED MEDICINE. Chemistry is MUCH better uwu
Watsonsaid a very very clever thing. A PITY he doesn't know Holmes yet! You'll love him, Watson, but do not expect a man of quiet habits! But... Stamford seems strange... like as he wants to wash his hands of the situation... Is there anything under it?
Nah, Holmes would ask PERMISSION to his friend before poisoning him in the name of science, of course. And he would take the poison himself tbh.
Here he is!
Watson's done for. Cupid his square in the center here, Holmes is so DELIGHTFUL! I want to meet him, get a hot chocolate with him and discuss chemistry together!
Holmes is so giddy, he wants to infodump!
He wantso to infodump soooo much
Watson would like to listen to it, but now he's distracted by Holmes' hands!
Well, well, Watson bring your eyes back on his. To business. It's alright, here are my worst defects -Holmes picked back up his mask, he doesn't want to scare this handsome if sickly young doctor away-
They like each other!
Also, Watson, you are not lazy. You have PTSD and are recovering from invalidating injuries, you feel tired and are not as active as before because your body is using all of his energy to RECOVER.
Holmes being anxious about the violin is the most precious thing, as usual <3
Arrangements made, see ya!
Btw, Stamford...
THEY ARE SO MADE FOR EACH OTHER. SO DAMN MUCH.
Now Watson has to rejoin his better half, so he'll leave us, you see
It's Holmes' BIRTHDAY!

Ah. dreams versus reality. The part of making choices and getting older and realizing that sometimes you can't make your passion your career but still wanting to try, still wanting this to be the center of your world and everything that you live and breathe.
They're so young and you see that black and white thinking, that passion that means they don't see the choices ahead of them as anything but one or the other, winning or losing, going forever or giving up now. Oh, babies.

Young Justice is always a little...concerned. With Phantom's living situation.
Now they're outright afraid for him, and Bart has decided it's time to Ask An Adult.
It was the little quips. The tiny little things. Stuff that didn't seem to matter to Phantom at all, or appeared to be normal for him, that he didn't realize weren't normal at all.
"Oh, better not hope my mom catches me."
"Doing what, staying out past bedtime?"
"Nah, using my powers; she'd vivisect me!"
"Another stab wound. Great."
"Don't worry Phantom, I've got the med kit-"
"Oh, I'm not a baby or anything, I can handle it just fine. Just gimme a sec to take it out."
"My dad has better aim than that."
"...Like, when he's hunting, right?"
"...At what other times would he be shooting at me?"
"Huh. Not as bad as my parents place. Look; they have a decontamination shower!"
"Phantom, this lab has been vandalized to the point of needing a hazmat suit."
"Did I stutter?"
Finding out each others identities did nothing to soothe the worry. Tim quietly told the others that every time he tried to run facial recognition, he kept hitting a government firewall he couldn't breach. Phantom never told them his last name, just his first, and 'Danny' is super common.
The thing that really did it though, the thing that made Bart snap and run off to ask Max, was when Danny had a nightmare.
He was talking in his sleep.
"No. Don't-stop. Stoooop. I need...my skin. Mom, no. You can't...peel off...my skin..."
Bart didn't even wait for them to wake Danny up before he was standing in front of Max, talking a mile a minute as he tried to figure out what to do, with Wally staring in horror over a plate of waffles as he computed everything that Bart was saying.
~~~~~~
Danny had a dream about his mom and Skulker arguing about how to skin him. He wouldn't really call it a nightmare, because it was just Skulker, but the scariest thing was Skulker insisting to his mom that it was possible to skin him with a potato peeler. Dream mom was arguing that it was not, and that from a scientific standpoint that was a really piss poor way to preserve a specimen.
He hadn't been begging them to stop hurting him, he'd been whining at them to knock it off.
But when he wakes up, it's to a room full of worried friends and an old man who calls himself Max.
"Kid, I think we need to talk."
