I grew fond of the fiction known as Irene Adler in our world. That fiction was not a woman who needed to communicate anonymously with her initials on display for all as if they provide a certain level of potential surprise.
[Simply put: she is nothing like the fiction he was in love with. Sherlock is a controlled man, a man who can dictate what is and isn't significant to him. Those dictations may not always be true, but he can enforce it until it becomes that way.
That attempt is important to him.]
And "The Woman." To Sherlock, perhaps, but not to you. You were fond of that role because of its other goals, but I would not say it was the role itself that you crafted, piece of ... art or not. [That, too, is a bit of denial, of dictating the way he wants things to be.]
