The video starts a little shaky, with Y/n L/n grinning into the camera as she walks through 221B Baker Street. "Hey, guys. Welcome to Baker Street. I'm Y/n L/n, and this is our little world of tea, murder boards, questionable life choices, and-" She turns the camera. Sherlock Holmes is on the sofa, eating toast, curls a mess, looking deeply unimpressed. "-the world's only consulting detective, the great Sherlock Holmes." Sherlock looks at the camera, mouth half-full. "Your standards for greatness are worryingly low." Y/n giggles. "See? Charming." "I am occasionally charming," he says, then points his toast at her. "Usually when you deserve it." Y/n's smile softens. "That was almost sweet." "Don't make it strange." She turns the camera back to herself. "Anyway, don't let Sherl scare you off. He looks dramatic, but he remembers tea orders and pretends that isn't affection." "I heard that." "I know." Sherlock sighs, but there's a fond little smile hiding at the corner of his mouth. "She steals my chips, interrupts my experiments, and somehow makes this place less unbearable." Y/n pauses. "Sherl." "What?" "That was sweet." "It was factual." A sudden bubbling noise comes from the kitchen. They both freeze. Y/n turns slowly. "...Sherl?!" Sherlock shot to his feet. "Bugger." Y/n laughs into the camera as he shoots past her. "Okay, got to go. Welcome to Baker Street!" There was a loud clatter in the background. Then Sherlock's voice, offended and distant: "Don't laugh, Y/n/n, that's nitric acid-" The video cut off there.

𝑨𝒍𝒊 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒓𝒐-𝒄𝒐𝒈𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏. Solving criminal cases? Basically cheating with their cool powers. Together they're unstoppable... until they aren't. Until Ali get's a girlfriend. Someone who Rin... deeply despises. His disapproval of her runs much deeper than hate. 𝑭𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒍𝒐𝒕 𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒊𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒇𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔. While tangled in the chaos of love and hate, dead bodies keep turning up left and right. Bodies belonging to other cops, detectives and high-ranking officers. Cause of death? Hypoxia. No evidence is ever left behind, but the amount of officers dying is... suspicious. It's not an accident. Every day that goes by, the harder and harder the case is to solve, even with their powers. Sometimes it makes you wish you could just... pause time. Turns out, you can. Time-travel and visions aren't the only time-related powers in this universe. The killer has powers too, and he's taken an interest in the detectives. He's intrigued by their powers. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒓 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒑𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒂 𝒅𝒆𝒂𝒍 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒔.

When I came to, I found myself standing in front of a dead body. A blond young woman who I'd never met before had been shot multiple times in the chest. And I was the one holding the gun. I don't remember killing her. No matter how hard I try, I can't grasp what happened that day, or the day before. But there's something far more disturbing about my missing memories. I've forgotten a part of myself. "Who am I? How did I end up standing over the body of Amelia Watson, a world-renowned private detective?" As I began searching for answers, I immediately realized, the murder was only the surface of something far more sinister. Something that reaches far beyond a single death. And something I may have been involved long before I ever woke up. 「Tags: Mystery, Psychological, Thriller, Time Travel, Dark Romance, Yandere, Horror, Angst.」 A Hololive fanfiction focused on Amelia Watson.
