I'm really sorry the show has upset you - I'm in a headspace where I can happily rewrite the show to suit my tastes, but that's not always how it works. And I'm sorry that the best the show can do for you is give you glimpses of what you want - it's sadly lacking in stable, happy relationships of any kind. The balance I've struck, personally, is to prioritise head canon above fanon above canon. It's not something we should have to do, but it means I can enjoy the world and the characters, rating the writing and the actual show well below fandom's expectations.
Would you like some fic recs now that you're caught up? I can't give you recs for Henry/Big Guy but there's one gen fic you might like by penknife. And one by dbalthasar, a kind of public school boy's own adventure with John and James.
Clean-Up, gen, Henry and the Big Guy, an episode tag for The Five.
Watson's First Case: slashy gen, school story, Druitt and Watson, public school boys.
