If you haven’t read this story by EmilyCare yet, it's oh-so-fantastic!
Check out this selection:
"Curling, luscious raven-black hair. A contrasting pale, angular face. With long dramatic lines of nose, brow and cheek that drew and riveted the eye. Arched, plush lips a dusky rose. Ice blue eyes traced with other hues begging a lover’s gaze to map endlessly.
His ivory neck disappearing into a ruthlessly fitted pale blue shirt which was dashingly rumpled at the end of this long work day. Buttons undone at the neck teased a peep show of luminous chest.
Cuffs rolled up high exposing surprisingly muscular arms and - breaking the pre-Raphaelite vision, but visible to John's trained eye - faint scars at the dimple of inner elbow attesting to past, repeated injection of drugs.
The man looked beautiful. Unearthly. But there was something vulnerable about him. The skin a bit too translucent. The eyes dark with strain. "
Fun Fact: in one month (1/1/23), all Sherlock Holmes stories hit the public domain and the Conan Doyle Estate can't do shit! I say this for absolutely no reason but also congrats in advance to the happy couple.

Sherlock wearing a kimono, amongst other works. I explained this precise head canon of mine in this video HERE. (Note: Drawing n°2 was the first version of Drawing n°1, that's why I used the same reference picture for the head)
I think a lot about how all versions of Watson don’t see themselves as anything special, meanwhile all versions Sherlock Holmes are looking at them like “This is the most wonderful human being who ever lived and the only person I want to spend all my time with for the rest of my life.”
