I’ll stand out and say I can’t stand them, because they’re so…so… sweet, adorable person. “Cinnamon roll” (funny term, there’s no equivalent in my language, btw.), I think Watson is the perfect example of this.
And too much sugar makes me: :face_vomiting:

He got golden retriever energy, Lestrade prickly but affectionate cat,

And then you got H and the way they make me react :

H vibes

the middle ground is Lestrade, I hope I’ll get to interact more with them soon

I like Watson. It’s hard not to like golden retrievers, but I couldn’t romance them.
Lestrade, however, is my number one so far. They are both difficult people, so the way to romance will be complicated. My MC sees Lestrade as entertainment - all that poking and provoking - add some contempt for them and mix it up with denial that some Scotland Yard cop could be intriguing and attractive. Lestrad, on the other hand, probably sees Sherlock as arrogant, incredibly rude, difficult to work with, crazy eccentric. A good start for a romance :neutral_face::+1:

They’re just an aristocrat. There is absolutely nothing suspicious about them :laughing:
My MC’s attitude towards H is like:

I don’t care who you are, let me handle the case.

Eh, guess the best way to charm them is to have lovely, fancy conversations about tea and Jane Eyre.

H called me a “rose among the rabble” and complimented my thorns.

I mean, it wasn’t hard rizzing up H when playing the way I’d act in normal life (because why the hell would I be hyped about someone coming to my house without calling first). But I love replays so I changed my ways and then I got cussed :sweat_smile: :joy:

Sexy Watson baking minigame :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::shortcake::sparkles:

The public release of a patreon thingy I did: Minigame :heart:

  • This is a short interactive story based on a prompt I got: "Sherlock licks cream off of Watson’s finger ".

Setting:

You are romantically interested in Watson, and they are in you. There has been flirting and advances, but nothing has quite stuck—yet. All progress seemed to reset when one of you doubted the other’s intentions, and so, in romantic limbo, you remained. The romance level is further in than the game is currently.

Disclaimer:

The MC is the type to be able to flirt (boldly or shyly) and to be able to realise flirting is being directed towards them—at least when these flirts are quite… overt.

Not all MCs from the original game are necessarily catered to here. (Examples being: very oblivious, explicitly tsundere, very cold or reserved, etc. It simply didn’t work with the limited scene.)

The story is technically SFW, but it does linger on the edge.

You will, very soon! :smiling_face:

Lolol, if you’re talking about the choice where it causes H to spill their tea all over themselves, I should add that, for the victorian era, that line is… something you could practically go to jail for lol :joy:

The rule of thumb us, (if you don’t want to dismay H, which some do seem to want :laughing:) they like subtle/clever/correct flirts or taking the lead. The improper first can still lead to something – but it leads to something quite different :sweat_smile:

Indeed :teapot: :heart: :face_with_monocle:

How thrilling

What about Lestrade? Can we expect tracking down a criminal together somewhere in a dirty backstreets of London? :eyes: Perfect scenery

…okay that was :fire: especially playing with a Sherlock who is introverted. I need to lay down now haha I loved it :heart: :heart:

Wow, that was the most intense, um… finger cleaning scene I’ve ever read. :face_with_hand_over_mouth: It was truly wonderful! :grin:

“Disentangle your entanglement” is my new favourite phrase.

I want to especially compliment you for a little thing you did: asking if our MC looks pretty, handsome or neither. As someone who prefers to play as gender nonconforming characters and has to constantly deal with their character being described in a stereotypical and immersion-breaking manner, a huge thank you for that! :heart:

I did have an idea for a event that’s a bit similar :face_with_peeking_eye: More of a stakeout, but same vibe.

:stethoscope: Don’t forget to inform the resident Doctor Watson if you are feeling faint or lightheaded :smirk: :flushed:

:rofl: :face_with_peeking_eye: Thank you (it was my one of the first—of possibly many—smuty writing practices and I wanted to start with something… more metaphorical yet not too vague.)

:heart: :heart: :heart:

If we’re talking about fav RO’s, I did enjoy H-- such a cutie in the simp route!! I’ve always liked pretentious talks over tea about literature with thinly veiled innuendos referencing the novels, or perhaps a particularly heated game of chess… I’m a nerd what can I say- but Lestrade and Watson will always be tied in #1 for me!! Aughf.

Something about the S-W-L trio gets me right in the feels. They are so different and yet they are able to worm their ways into the hearts of a person that is so difficult to understand, and they, perhaps, are one of the only people out there who really get Sherlock, who understand, and they need friends who do, and they can find that friend in eachother, a friend who can play up normality and domesticity and drinks at the pub and talks about rugby and share the fondness for the person that brought them together and Sherlock muses on how their own fondness for these two came to be, how, despite everything, they became essential to the Work, to the livelihood of Sherlock’s entire essence, because really- what is a person without friends to care for and to be cared for in turn? Something something ‘my relationship with you transcends boundaries of friendship and romance because I physically cannot be normal about people I’m attached to solely because it takes so much for me to get attached in the first place. I will actually collapse into my entire being if you die or if, worse, I lose your companionship, I’m not accustomed to this, this dependency, this need for the presence of another, I don’t know what we are and honestly I don’t care but if I lost you, if I lost you, I-’)

Sorry their friendship just gets me :sob: Tired, grumpy cat VS German Shepherd VS Insanely messed up Peackock. I hope we get more scenes with the three of them (ALSO ON ANOTHER NOTE I HEARD THERE’S GOING TO BE A W-L LOVE TRIANGLE??? MY HEART WILL SPLINTER INTO A 10000 PIECES AHHH… Unlike H and W they’re FRIENDS I’m gonna feel so BAD :sob::sob::sob:… maybe I WILL make my Sherlock aro after all. But no, despite my personal proclivities towards romance I can’t resist having Sherlock make them blush… :pensive: )

Sorry that was a tangent :sweat_smile: I just… really like SH works
