🌹🌶️ H's Flowers - coded short story - smutty ✨
The short story tells of the moment H arrives home after your first meeting. As they stumble upon their rose garden, and think of you.Here's a cute, coded, smutty, short story — from yours truly 😘 Happy summer heat 😆- The smutty part is lime level spice, and is optional!Itch password: ARoseByAnyOtherNameIn-game, to access smut, password: (find on Discord in the Patreon section, in the adult Patreon room "#patreon-discussion-adult". It's pinned in the room!)The reason the smut isn't directly accessible is that my Patr...
Sneak peeks, Q&A answers, poll, and more ✨
Ahhhhh, finally I'm here!!!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 💝🫣🌞🌻🌞A (random) Q&A ANSWER:Which of the ROs are good at singing, if any? And do they have any other talents?OK, ok, so—Adler is by far the best! Like by a lot. Adler ...
Short story — and progress update!
A 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, and then part 2 ❤️Sneak peek of PDFs:I would have said something.But Watson al...
Random aaoth note —
I think I'm going to start posting some random spoiler stuff (under the cut!)A snippet I don't know if I will still use, for risk-taker Sherlock, during a pivotal point in the game:-Potential spoilers---------Potential spoilers------Potential spoilers---------Potential spoilers------Potential spoilers-You lie upon the hard ground, frozen, paralysed.Lightning shoots through your spine, deep dark thundering agony along the limbs. The air in your lungs is forcibly pushed out. Muscles seize. You can’t move. Can’t breathe. You can’t br...

Progress update and Q&A - May 2025
I'm doing another Q&A! 💝 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!CH6.2 Progress update:I honestly think I was a bit stuck there for a bit, just adding new content and new scenes ...
A small W knight minigame form
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 <3Additionally, 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 in its entirety. But if not. Then it is here ❤️XOXO-Doriana 💋
✨ Watson AU Game - A Knightly Tale ✨

Lestrade short story ✨ If Sherlock took to crime
Y'all have been asking me, since the start of this whole project, "What if Sherlock took to crime and did so verywell?"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? 😈Remember this part from Chapter 5?“We all expect great things the day you can't find an excuse from your own company... There's really only a few worthy ways this all ends. When the crime is too low, perhaps you can turn to making your own, really sink low and comfortable in th...
💖 I need y'all's quick take on the ball—
[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.I am trying to determine if you all like time management or would rather have complete control of the experience.1. Time management:Classic example: You only have time to do Five things, but Eight thi...
Valentine's Letters 💖 part 3
The final batch is coming soon! (I'm splitting it up cause, tbh, there were a lot of letters, and I also want to manage to get some ball writing in 😮💨) There will be 4 parts in total!I... was listening to love ballads on Spotify while writing these.I think it shows...They are sappy (in a good way!)Here is one:--------------------------------------Dear Doctor J. WatsonWhen I first resolved to write you this Saint Valentine's Day, it had been with the intent to reveal to you the depth of my ardor and affection. However, the longe...
Plans for the next two weeks 💖
This week:Friday 7th, update public build ch6.1 with W pov and more.Send another batch of the Valentine's letters to Patreon.Next week:Upload linear fiction story for Lestrade on Patreon.Another Patreon free tier to paid tier giveaway. (Remind me if I forget...)Sneak peek below for y'all of the Valentine's letters (there's like... 30 of them, but basically, Patreon users got to send letters, and the game characters answered them).---------------------Dear G. LestradeMaybe once upon a time you could have a sliver of hope to have ...
I'm curious:
looking at my posted stuff on patreon, I do think it’s L’s time for new content. But maybe I’ll do a linear thing cause they already have so many minigames compared to the others. But after that it’s been a while since W has had a minigame (and boy do I have ideas)H is definitelylacking linear contentBut I just wanted to check in — who do you feel you want content of most next:(It's ok to just pick your main RO because you want to see them more! I just wanted to ask y'all for some info on y'all.)
Valentine's Letters 💖 part 2
More to come soon! (I'm splitting it up cause tbh there were a lot of letters and I also want to manage to get some ball writing in 😮💨) There will prob be 3 or 4 parts in total!I do love these letters lol.So do Mrs H 🤭Here was one:--------------------------------------Sneak peek:Mrs. Hudson,Your beauty grows ever greater with time.

ILY.Anyway—I really hope you will like them. Even the ones you didn't send.--------------------------------------Sneak peek:Dear G. LestradeMaybe once upon a time you could ...
Progress update thingy 💖
The first Valentine's Day responses are landing on your doorsteps tomorrow (Sunday)! I think, even if you didn't send one, some of the responses might be interesting to read—because y'all were very imaginative with your letters, I have to say 😆❤️💌!Other than that, I had a pretty shitty health week, pretty much all Monday to Thursday. But my brain is finally on, and I am excited to write and work again 🥹 I've been reading romance novels, and it's so fun to read something when the first impulse is to want to wri...

Send a Valentine's letter! 🥰💌
I had an idea for the next thing we do on Patreon to be a letter Q&A—but with a twist! ✨💖✨I have done these before, where the characters reply to your letters just as they would have in-game. But!What if these were Valentine's letters? 😌✨Would you participate in sending or reading these? Does it interest you?If it does, I'll send out a form on the 14th! 💌
W POV — finished — now live!✨
The Patreon link in my last paid post is now updated with the fixed pronouns!❤️❤️😆 That was a lot—lesson learnt, write POVs with mc as (you)...The 6.1 update comes with a bunch more words and:More H scenes and choices!Ro reflections in the carriage!

(The public and patreon build is currently the same for ch 6.1! Link here!)Big update to the chapter! 💝That previously greyed-out choice now has multiple options, depending on who's not in the carriage! ✨ (and a feature to reset romance points, which I know was asked for.)W POV !!!

Sneaky peek -- W pov ✨

Chapter 6.1 is out now! ✨
Play here on Itch!The early part of the giant that is the ball chapter is now out for everyone! I think you will like it—especially if you like:WATSONHAMISH/HELENALOVE TRIANGLES (a lot)More carriage ridesMrs HudsonI hope you do!I was gonna edit the chapter some more, but… my brain is dead from the remnants of my still lingering cold, so I uploaded the build I have that I know works!

💖 Mini update on updates 💖
Here's how I'm planning the next two weeks:💖Thursday-Friday this week (week 5) I'll release ch6.1 for the public with some fixesmore than the currentPatreon build. At this time dashingdon will go down, so I'll put this new public build, up on Itch.💖The week after that (week 6) I'll make a new Patreonbuild on Itch with:That same Chapter 6.1 ++ Watson's POV of the reveal moment (it's looking to be a decent minigame length, and I will probably put it at the end of the chapter, but with the MC choices, so you don&#...
Testing the porting to Itch ✨ (still CS)
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.❤️
✨ BTS ch6.1 and more — ✨
I've been fixing the bugs and fixes for the chapter, some stuff that will come with an upcoming fix is: Some balancing of W platonic route ✨H romance (but MC who's not as convinced) 😬And the greyed-out option in the carriage! 💌Additionally, I've been tinkering a bit on the upcoming W POVthing, which will be added to the end of the ch6.1 file as an optional thing. The moment of MC's reveal. I think I could have it by early next month or before, but my life looks hectic at that time of the month, so I'm not putting dow...
I wanted to ask —
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 andmeeting them again.And also, a similar little moment about W and H if they aren't in the carriage with you! (+ maybe one other bonus reflection 😌✨)So let me know if that's something you feel would add to your playthrough 💖------------------------------Also, please f...
That patreon free tier prize ✨
Whoever won the Patreon (one month of free subscription) by being on the free Patreon tier still hasn't redeemed it!I'll have to choose someone else in a few days ☹️It was a Gmail email, and I realise my email prob looked like spam cause I was all like, "You won a prize! (not spam)"But it wasn't spam!For once...Anyway, I can't contact you directly on Patreon for some reason, so yeah. Check y'all's inboxes and spam folders.XOXODoriana
