giving them food without them asking for it

randomly bringing them flowers

holding a door open for them

pulling out their chair for them

guiding them with a gentle hand on the small of their back

making them lunch to take to work with them

fixing their clothes or hair

giving them a massage

talking casually about a shared future

showing them their appreciation for them

waiting at home to say hello when they come in

paying complete attention to them

giving them a casual, but thoughtful compliment

writing them a love letter and hiding it for them to find

showing them something that reminded them of their partner

humming a song to calm them down

giving them a quick kiss whenever they pass each other at home

casual grabbing their hand and swinging it back and forth

Aromantic Sherlock Holmes be upon ye! 💚🤍🩶🖤

And some variations:

I really wanted to put Granada Lestrade in the pea jacket he wears in The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor

I saw the original on Twitter [also under the cut, with alt text] and had to Holmesify it.

(Let's be real, they're all three interchangeably)

[ID: Digital artwork, a copy of the illustration under the cut, but replacing the figure of the man with Lestrade, Watson and Holmes respectively. "The salesman" has been replaced with "the inspector" to fit Lestrade, whereas "the husband" for Watson and "the Lover" for Holmes remain the same. They're all in a telephone booth, each holding a file of papers (or a doctor's bag, in Watson's case). Lestrade and Watson are turned towards the viewer, Watson's pose less rigid than Lestrade's while Holmes has his back turned to the viewer. /end ID]

What can I say, I'm asexual 🤷🏻

"No need for sarcasm Mr. Holmes... You're as much in the dark as we are, aye?"

And he created the most likeable and lively Lestrade.

A Lestrade whose friendship with Holmes and Watson is believable.

A Lestrade who figured out the location of a clue and rushed to retrieve it half an hour after it went missing.

Art for my wip fanfic yey
