Summary
Sherlock Holmes won't put John Watson in harm's way, no matter how much they love each other. In fact, he'll do anything to keep him safe--including dying and coming back to life again. But Watson doesn't want safety: he wants Holmes.
“So,” he said slowly. “What is it you expect, then? Shall we sit across the breakfast table and gaze longingly at each other over the butter dish, silently breaking into pieces? Shall we retire to our separate bedrooms each night, and listen to each other breathing through the wall?”“Yes,” I answered, for when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

Summary
More than a year after Sherlock Holmes's return from the dead, his cohabitation with the good Doctor has more or less returned to normal. With their daemons at their sides, Holmes and Watson are as keen a pair of crime solvers as they ever were. Deep in the winter of 1895, their limits as a team are tested when a young woman's daemon is stolen from her side and destroyed. It is not the first of such attacks, Watson learns, and he and Holmes immediately set out to find the culprit of the horrifying deed. They are led into a web of back alleys and gambling debt that leads ultimately to the heart of the government, all in the pursuit of the elusive element of Dust. But their investigation is not a secret one, and the duo's fame in the city of London brings them more trouble than expected and forces them to take some measures to protect one another that violate many a social taboo.

Summary
“I’m going to New York,” he replied impatiently. “Do you not listen?”
“Sherlock, you’re ill,” Mycroft explained. I could hear what a strain it was to keep his voice level and low. “You are not thinking clearly.”
“Nonsense,” he retorted. “John, tell him.”In Doctor Watson’s dispatch box of unpublished writing, there is a stack that appears to be a combination of papers he wrote at different times—some of them were written during a very dark time in his life with Sherlock Holmes, and others after the event. The doctor himself explains that he felt compelled to record some of his thoughts instantly, while he was experiencing this event, and the other portions he wrote later to flesh out the story. He then apparently carefully assembled them to tell a single, chronological tale. Because of this, it is apparent that he wrote the earlier pieces before he and the detective were being openly demonstrative towards one another, and the later ones after.
The portions that he wrote during this heinous period are in pencil, which he explains, and those written later are in his familiar pen.

Summary
"When the British Museum requested my services in recovering the stolen trunk, they would not tell me what was inside, and sternly warned me that the payment would not be rendered if I opened the trunk after recovering it. I’m counting on the fee to finance a season’s worth of operas at Covent Garden, so I dare not investigate further."
(...and then Holmes investigates further anyway.)

Summary
