DOUCHESTRADE MINIGAME ✨🎉

You can thank Patreon for this, cause they voted they rather get the minigame sooner and on Choicescript than exclusive access on Twine (This is more of an exception than the rule tho tbf)—

-💛- LESTRADE ROMANCE MINIGAME -💛-

Have you ever wondered who they were before?

Before all that darkness that clouds their mind and forces their mouth to speak far too little or far too much?

Meet what I dub "douchestrade" 💖

Far too much confidence, and not enough humbling going on at all.

... I have no idea if this is selling it or not. But basically, this is an AU mini-game, of Lestrade without their downward spiral, a little younger, and far too many thoughts of Sherlock.

Enjoy 😙❤️✨

Ps. Try at least both of the two main choices. They are very different!

If you play this and you're like damn I really want more Lestrade -- or Watson, Mrs Hudson (I don't judge), there's more stuff on Patreon every month <3

Lestrade. One shot. Pls.

I’ve been forgetting to post Art again.

I saw that you and Doriana seem to be friends. So I was wondering if you could answer the ask that you’ve answered for both Vahnya and Bouncy? Who would be with you out of the Scandal and Sherlock casts?

Of course ❤️. I adore @doriana-gray-games and her characters (plus anything Sherlock Holmes… of course). Now I’m just imagining the Scandal cast as Sherlock… thank you for that imagery.

Christian: I think Watson would be an excellent choice for him. He adores people with that type of personality. Someone you know you can count on no matter what. He’d be the exact same thing to them. I just think that they would really mesh well together.

Alcina: Either Adler or H… as I think those types of personalities would mesh well with her. Adler because I could see them getting into all sorts of hijinks together. While with H… Alcina has the same level of elegance as they do, but she has a much softer approach to people that are deemed in a lower class than herself (I believe anyway). I think either of them would do Alcina well.

Stephen: Adler more than likely. I think the intrigue of them would definitely catch his attention. Stephen isn’t much of a flirt but he does get heart warmed when he thinks that someone is vying for his attention… if he ever actually notices. He’d be like a ray of sunshine with them.

Quinn: Watson. That type of loyalty and dependability is something that would draw them in instantly. It’s something that Quinn always looks to when getting into a relationship. Plus their softer nature would do well with Quinn’s icier persona. Now if Lestrade was in the picture? Definitely Lestrade. I think it’s self explanatory.

Hey, I have a small question that I felt would be better asked on tumblr than on the Discord. If at some point Sherlock ends up realizing Lestrade's gentle gestures like with bringing food for them and such, and brings food for THEM instead as a thanks on the next case... How would Lestrade react to that?

Ohh, that's like Lestrade's love language! <3

It would make them speechless and so happy, but also a bit shy and might say they can't accept it once or twice first. ALSO lol, they would bring the fanciest handmade sandwich to you next time you have a case together.

To summarise, their feelings are always very complex/mixed

Super happy, all warm inside, smiling without meaning to.

Now feel indebted, a bit awk, and worried they made you feel you had to do this

I SO BADLY WANNA ADD A SCENE LIKE THIS LATER ON IN THE GAME!!! <3 XD

[doriana-gray-games]

Is too late for Christmas promts? Because I feel like Lestrade + mistletoe will be awkward and frustrating.... but in a cute way

Happy New Years! ✨💖✨

It's technically too late--buut im gonna start this one and see if I can do it quickly! ❤️

"Lestrade!" The empty snow-covered road echoes your shout. They don’t stop and you pull at your coat which you had yet to properly wrap around yourself—the freezing wind pricks your skin something fierce. "LESTRADE! WAIT! Darn stubborn fool, I should just—"

They finally turn, now only a short distance from the carriage they were aiming for, and reply in nothing more than a speaking tone despite your distance, "I have a case, Sherlock."

"And I am coming with—"

The next reply, a shout, you hear more clearly, "Like hell, you are!"

You take the moment of their angry grandstanding—which leaves them standing still for once—to catch up to them.

"Lestrade, your long legs will be the death of me—now," you heave a heavy breath, "—why did you storm out of the Christmas dinner?!"

They only scoff and turn towards the open door, now so close—

"Adler didn't mean it," you say, guessing at their anger.

"Oh, no?" they enter the carriage with sarcasm dripping in their tone.

You follow inside, pushing your way, "Besides—it's not true...so I’m coming with!"

"No, you aren’t—" Lestrade holds the door open, signalling for you to instead step out again.

"Yes, I am—and that's final!" You say, slamming the door and shouting for the driver to go.

*Scoff*

*Hmpf*

-------

For a few many moments, you two travel in silence. The darkness and cold constricts and chafes at your comfort.

"You got to be kidding—" Lestrade looks up at the ceiling of the carriage, where a bundle of twigs, green, with white berries, are pressed into the paint of the roof.

"Oh no..." you find yourself saying, taking the moment to move to the seat next to them, instead of across.

"Wha—what are you—"

"I'm superstitious, Lestrade. If I—we—do not follow tradition, then I am doomed to only receive bad cases for the rest of my life... that's how this works... don't doubt it."

They don't protest. They don't act. Their gaze is simply glued to yours, with half terror and enchantment. The little light outside dances in their darkness.

You kiss them once. They melt but do not move.

"Besides,” you say, "I’m freezing, Lestrade."

"We can't have that." They almost smirk, as much as the detective might be able to smirk, and wraps you up in their coat. Your legs intertwine. Your mouths lock and leave only for desperate breaths to keep death away.

“Warmer?”

“Much.”

“Then—“

“Kiss me again you fool!” And they do.

Lestrade always did take orders well.

Ooh, I miss Lestrade :( I really like to set my MC to do something that makes Lestrade flustered unknowingly hehe. We can do that in the future more frequently right?

You will be able to, yes! Already in chapter 5 there’s at least one such one (it’s quite ridiculous, in a fun way, if I do say so myself). I can’t speak for increased frequency tho—can’t say I have counted or have a sense of that. But it will be a thing that can happen multiple times in the game and a viable way to romance Lestrade 🥰
