Fics like His Final Vow

Sherlock Holmes could count, on one hand, the number of times that he had been rendered utterly and intensely speechless. The first had been on his sixth birthday, when his parents had presented him with a wriggling, yipping, russet ball of fluff that had sprawled over his lap and licked the shock from his face. The second had occurred when he felt his best friend take his final breath as he buried his face in the faded fur; a shuddering sigh that haunted his dreams for years to come. The third took place in the kitchen of 221B Baker Street, when his second ever best friend asked him to stand beside him as he promised forever to his fiancé, to give a speech at his wedding as a means of reparation and affirmation of their unique friendship. The fourth was when said best friend and his former assassin wife asked Sherlock to be the godfather of their unborn child and made him a legal guardian in their stead should, God forbid, anything ever happen to them.
