Whoooops I totally forget that I'm so sorry here we go: 9 is all Herder 9M: Has elemental powers (for example fire and water), Which element does the character control? Fire because he's part of the arsonist team. No but really Herder could melt shit together like there's no tomorrow with a little laser finger beam

9S: Is forced to have a date for a prom. Who will the character ask to fake date?

John Watson because he's so invested in Herder's ideas. No dance, no fake romance. Just talking for 7+ hours about screws and mechanics and hearing someone enjoying every minute of it Option 2: Not going because he was to busy and forgot. Maybe locked again in the basement by Liam: "I bought you some cheap-ass mind puzzles. Have fun; I let you out in two days."

9W: Is born from a Greek god/goddess. Who are the character’s parents and does the character have any powers?

Narcissus who made him blind so his son doesn't have to suffer from looking at his beautiful father

• Louis without his glasses.

• Moran's and Bonde's relationship.

• How badass Ms. Hudson is.

• How much the Moriarty brothers, Moran, Bonde, Fred and Jack love eachother.

• John's angry issues.

• Mycroft's love for Sherlock.

• Louis' hate for Sherlock.

• Bonde looking more happy as James than as Irene.

• Albert's addiction to wine.

• Fred's good work for his age.

• How good Jack is for his age.

• How hot everyone is.

Yes, most definitely! I can see the potential of them as a romantic ship, I just get easily bored with romances.

Actually, this makes me curious, just how weird it really is within this fandom? Is there anyone else? I feel like most of the posts I see around are about romantic sherliam, and... well, it's fine :) But I would love to add my platonic perspective to the mix, maybe even finally sit myself to write fanfics that reside in my head.

Untraditional romance, to me, means they have romantic feelings for each other, but never advance on the physical part. Such as a couple who doesn't kiss, for example.

Explaining this is hard, and it's not a one size fits all. But I've seen that, in fiction and in real life, they start out different.

Romance start out with an interest in some specific part of the person, be it their hair, their smile, their kindness, their intelligence. Friendship starts with a respect for the other person's bring, while also being a desire to be like.

I am a firm believer that, if you don't think your friends are some of the best people you'll ever meet, you have the wrong friends. They are supposed to be counsellors, confidants, partners and role models.

A romantic relationship has less pressure. They are supposed to maintain the connection, and that's it. It's rare to see people making their partners their role models. Perhaps an inspiration, but not a role model. That is usually reserved for platonic relationships.

I see a lot of potential in Sherlock and Liam for both directions. While I do ship them, I also think they would be a great friendship. This confusion of mine blends into the romance, because while I can see them having a traditional romance, it doesn't seem very... them, if you know what I mean.
