Out of context WIP game

Tagged by @rose-of-pollux. Thank you! I don't know that there's anyone left to tag (I need to make more friends so I have more people to tag), but I tag anyone else who wants to do this!

Rules: pick a few WIPs and badly summarize them. Ask your followers to select which they'd be most likely to read:

I was also tagged in another WIP game, this one by @belphegor1982:

post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

so if anyone wants to know more about any of these WIPs, shoot me an ask!

It's always difficult to keep personal prejudice out of a thing like this. Wherever you run into it, prejudice always obscures the truth. I don't really know what the truth is, I don't suppose anybody will ever really know, but nine of us now seem to feel that the defendant is innocent. We're just gambling on probabilities; we may be wrong. We may be trying to let a guilty man go free, I don't know. Nobody really can. But we have a reasonable doubt. That's something that's very valuable in our system — no jury can declare a man guilty unless it's sure. We nine can't understand why you three are still so sure. Maybe you can tell us.

Hmmm hm. Cinderella retelling where Bluebeard is her stepfather. Her mother marries the baron, and she’s given a key, and she goes where she shouldn’t, and there are no brothers to rescue her, and that leaves Cinderella with Bluebeard.

And it’s. Strange. He hasn’t dealt with stepchildren before, and it’s like a pebble in his shoe. He doesn’t entirely know what to do about it.

And this is a problem for him, she knows. Her mother is in the basement, hidden away where he can ignore, but she is unavoidable. He should kill her, she knows, but she also knows that there are rules here that even he can’t ignore. She never broke the rules. She never goes where she mustn’t. She must live. He cannot touch her.

For now, obedience turns out to be an acceptable rebellion.

When I was a very tiny child my mom was in a local production of The Reluctant Resurrection of Sherlock Holmes, a play where Arthur Conan Doyle is hired to investigate a murder at a haunted house with Sherlock Holmes, a figment of Doyle’s imagination that only he can see and hear. Doyle very sincerely believes that the house is haunted, and Holmes thinks that Doyle is a moron

I was too young to appreciate this concept when I was a child, now that I’m older it’s the best concept for a play I’ve ever heard in my life.

"People wouldn't invent anything if there was no profit motive."

Well, that's clearly a lie.

I have had a lot of thoughts on the original story after listening to the Sherlock&Co "Gloria Scott" and a new headcanon just dropped.

if you're curious:

As far as gay Victor Trevor absolutely got me, I don't think there was anything serious between him and Holmes. This all comes down to my reading of Holmes, who is (to me) too aroace-spec to get involved in a regular relationship (althouuuughh about Holmes, his sexual and romantic orientation and him discovering it I have had so many thoughts I could write a whole essay). He likes to have a default person though, someone who will take him as he is, and maybe even admire a little - now that's Watson, earlier it was Trevor.

And yea I think Victor got a crush straight away after their first meeting, maybe they even talked about this at some point. Maybe Holmes said that he won't be able to reciprocate this affection but if Victor is fine with keeping things as they are, then he is too. I like to think they stayed pen friends even after Trevor's leave.

I feel like I should emphasize this? My intention in the comic was to make Trevor visibly flustered because he didn't expect a young attractive boy (he's hopeless in my head), while Holmes simply didn't expect to see someone his age and so sincerely sorry.
