I have come across few people in my life who object to graphic sex scenes. I suspect this means the company I am keeping is not quite right.
Whyyyyyy did you have to link me to tvtropes? (It is actually canon that Irene had a thing for cross-dressing, she states outright that she is comfortable in men's clothes. Holmes crossdresses once too, IIRC. So nothing new there, really).
I have a list - bodice ripper, another PWP which came to me in my melty haze today, and then this. I need to do two or three other things beforehand, though.
That is an excellent idea for a scene - greatly demonstrative of Watson's obsession, and a perfect way to show just how bad it's gotten.
I was about to experiment with ways to start it off, both with and without prologues and with slightly different methods of narration, and run them past you. I can see both benefits and drawbacks to a prologue. Of course, tea with Moriarty would be a good reason for a prologue, and it would set up that there is some weird shit going on, but then all the same Watson could provide the set up and there could be a mystery about it for a while, which as you say, might be nice. I'm not sure but I'm happy to write a half-dozen beginnings and we'll see which one works best, ok?
I don't think I accused you of anything you don't freely admit to. Except perhaps being a gentleman, which I see may have been incorrect. If you think I will fall for your "woe is me" act, then you are the one who is greatly mistaken.
