Thank you so much! Heh, I agree, their domestic life as it is would be full of rationality and practicality, but still full of love at its foundation.
*bg* Yes, I rather think Watson is particularly attached to that particular wound from The Three Garridebs, as evidenced in how he wrote that particular incident. Something tells me that he did not exaggerate how Holmes reacted to him being shot. I would not put it past Holmes to have murdered the man if he'd somehow managed to kill Watson. As rational and practical as Holmes is, he is still very attached to the few people he truly cares about. We see hints of that for Russell throughout the series as well (when she was kidnapped in Monstrous Regiment, when she disappeared in Garment of Shadows, and so on).
As for what Holmes might have asked Russell, well, I'm afraid he's being rather mum about it. Won't even give me a hint. ;D
