[PG] Kisses and latent sexual tension.

Introduction

A multi-part story about Holmes's friendships with men. This story is wholly dependent upon the concept of "romantic friendship", which you can read about on the Gay History website mentioned on my What is Slash? page.

I had at first believed that romantic friendships were common in Victorian-era Britain, but unfortunately I was mistaken. It seems that romantic friendships between men died out during the rise of the effeminate molly subculture in Britain, and it was only in America that men's romantic friendships lasted into Victorian times.

Thus, more so than my other stories, this tale lies in the realms of pure impossibility. Impossible imaginings, however, can be entertaining at least.
