    Summary

    In the Journey to the West, DBK abandoned PIF for the Jade-Face Princess. But the Jade-Face princess perished when DBK left her to die during his battle with Wukong for PIF's Banana Leaf Fan. But in this alternate universe, PIF didn't choose to take DBK after he came back to her. She chose herself.

    Hundreds of years later, join Red Son as he:

    - cares for his weakened but stubborn father
    - deals with his mother who couldn't care less
    - ends up in a fake relationship with a boy he swore to avoid like the plague.

    Wait, what?

    Summary

    In an alternate history Victorian England where some technology (most notably audio recording) is anachronistically advanced and the British Empire is starting to collapse, Dr. Watson distracts himself from his spoils of war (PTSD, a prosthetic arm, and a growing resentment towards British nationalism) by obsessively recording his very queer roommate and his very singular profession.
    This is planned to be a full rewrite/adaptation of the ACD canon that engages with and hopefully subverts and has interesting conversations about the themes of British imperialism, white supremacy, crime, poverty and gender.
    There will be eventual John/Mary/Sherlock but its going to take a While so buckle in. I'm putting the slow in slow burn.
    EDIT: Updates on the 5th, 15th and 25th of every month.
