This is awesome! Also the glossary is very handy thanks, I'm not exactly well versed in 1920s Londoner slang 😅

Whatever Remains: Redux

Welcome to my newest (or not so newest: https://tapas.io/episode/460013) comic, Whatever Remains. WR is a Sherlock Holmes pastiche based in 1920s London a la the Noir genre. There will be action, adventure, and (mature) romance aplenty. If you like tags such a slowburn, UST, and Friends to Lovers, this will be right up your alley!
I started WR a year or so ago, lost seventy plus pages after pacemaker surgery, and restarted from the beginning. If you'd like to see what WR was before, please feel free to follow the link! I'll also be posting pages there as well.
WRs premise, aside from rehashing the original stories by Conan Doyle, revolves around characters who are typically marginalized in media without drawing undue attention to what’s marginalizing them. Rather, WR isn’t about a transgender Sherlock Holmes, it’s about Sherlock Holmes who happens to be trans in this universe.
Updates will be every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and (soon) Thursday.
