I've been counting down the days till the middle of June for a while now. Because—it is when ✨ I can spend a lot more time with aaoth 💖🥹
It was... a lot to get here, but I'm glad to be here now. I hope y'all's summer will have the right temperatures and the best times, and I hope aaoth might be a part of that 💝🫣

2025-06-14 18:25:59 +0000 UTC View PostA scene of Watson and Lestrade 🥰
A wonderful prompt from the Discord made me write a scene that is only mentioned in the game. The moment when W and L met up for a favour at the precinct, and talked about the Edinburgh case, and about... Sherlock, and all that good stuff!
It has two parts, and each part is from the POV of the RO, not mentioned in the title, and so the pronouns are of course relevant for the other one. Pick the name you play with and read part 1...

I might do a part two, but as I said in the previous post, I am very focused on getting further on the main game as my main priority 💝
The form is still open, so if you do have something to send, please feel free to, and I might get to them later <3

This time, as I'm very much knee-deep in Victorian ball and dance and romance writing, I'll pick out just a few asks that I think I can do well and in a timely manner 💖 (Cause as much as I loved the Valentine's letters... well, it took a while 😆)
But you can send multiple asks if you like!
And if you send a prompt-esque ask, please write which RO or NPC you're most interested in!
Anonymous Google feedback and bug form ✨
For the people who have played the minigame, if you would fill this out, it would really help me out! ❤️ (It's small and won't take much time! 🥰)
And there's some knight Watson BTS at the end <3
Additionally, I added the final scene from the sad end as an optional scene to read here, THE SCENE ISN'T SAD ON ITS OWN, and it clears up a thing. Of course, I recommend playing it...

I got a little... lost in working on this. I've worked on and off on this for a month and... yeah. I got really into the prompt. The LONGING! THE DEVOTION! (also play both endings and maybe try some variation!)
It's the size of a smaller chapter update, has 2 endings, variation, many scenes, IT'S A LOT!

Thank you, everyone, for your lovely letters <3
And I hope you have enjoyed the replies <3
Next month, I will release a Watson AU as a knight (GN) minigame!
THE LONGING
THE DEDICATION
Honestly, I might do a whole series of minigames with this, with all the ROs in some role. It's very fun to write 😍😌
Y'all have been asking me, since the start of this whole project, "What if Sherlock took to crime and did so very well?"
What if Sherlock became the worst killer London had ever seen?
We all know they'd be capable of such a thing. Don't we? 😈

[Closed poll] 2. Experience control WON!
I need to get the pulse on something, and polls always help me figure things out in the grand scheme of things better than anything.
At the ball, there will be a branching of different things to do.
Imagine something similar to the Ch1 crime scene branching + some of the vibe of the carriage in Ch2 with Watson.

it’s been a while since W has had a minigame (and boy do I have ideas)

Thursday-Friday this week (week 5) I'll release ch6.1 for the public with some fixes more than the current Patreon build.
At this time dashingdon will go down, so I'll put this new public build, up on Itch.

Hi hi!
With Dashingdon shutting down its WIP hosting, which is where I've been hosting my ChoiceScript files, I wanted to try the Itch porting. So I've ported the Douchstrade minigame to Itch, with the same code, but a new save system.
It should be and feel pretty much the same. I think the saves should be more stable though.
Please tell me if this is working for y'all.
If it does I'll move the whole game soon.

The reason I greyed out this choice was because I wanted to remember to ask y'all if this is a choice y'all feel would be interesting to have. In my head, it will allow you to have a one/two-page reflection about L and how you feel about what has gone down and meeting them again.
And also, a similar little moment about W and H if they aren't in the carriage with you! (+ maybe one other bo...
