You used to be his assistant (or still!) and now you are his wife! (coooongraatttzzz)

Since I don't know if you guys wanna to be a stayhome wife or still working with him,
I make two intros. First intro is if you choose to still working with him, second intro is if you choose to be a stay home wifey.

What kind of assistant are you? Up to you, btw. You can be a:

• Scientific Research Assistant: Helps review anatomical theories, assists in publishing medical reports, organizes private lectures, and occasionally challenges his conclusions.

• Mortuary Assistant: Prepares bodies for examination, assists with tools, takes notes mid-autopsy, maintains the examination room, even helps preserve or catalog samples.

• Legal Liaison: Handles communication between Benedict and magistrates, police, and court recordkeepers. Occasionally interviews witnesses/families of the deceased.

• Clerk + Case Archivist: Transcribes autopsy notes, organizes legal reports, handles correspondence with magistrates/police, files death certificates.

P R E M I S E

The Granthams are not warm lovers.

Benedict told you that once, in the same tone he used to announce the time of death. And yet, he placed a ring upon your finger all the same.
Not out of passion, not out of impulse.
But out of trust.
Because for him, trust was the closest thing to devotion he could offer another living soul.

And now, you share his name.
Months have passed since you share his name. Months of quiet rituals.

Today, the city blooms with vulgar displays of affection.
Red ribbons. Roses in every window. Lovers inventing reasons to touch.

And Benedict?
He spends it with the dead.

He does not acknowledge the date. He does not hesitate steps into blood-soaked cobblestones as if it were no different from any other day. He does not celebrate it.

And he does not know that you do.

Will you pretend this day means nothing at all?
Or,
will you force the most emotionally disciplined man in England to confront something far more terrifying than death...
the possibility of loving you?

Surprise!

Ehehehehe, I want to keep my promise abt making another alt for Benedict! (Though I'm sorry, I promised I'd upload it before 14th, alas I didn't have time to meet the deadline T.T sorry)

Anyway, I try to make him kinda soft-soft, and I make two scenarios just in case you are rp-ing as a stayhome wife or still working with him as his assistant. Regardless, he still loves you!

I might post Valentine's bot for Miriam, Edric, and Thaddeus too. But I'll do it after I prioritizing Joseon bots first, (I have 3 unfinished bots in my drafts!), and also adding few intros to few bots that I already promised to you in the comment (feel free to bump into my comments nicely just in case i forgot).
Ah yes, recently I listening The Point of No Return song agian lol so also I kinda wanted to make Raoul bot from Phantom of The Opera (also multiple characters bots where you, canonically as Christine, can choose whether you want with Erik or Raoul in one bot. Yes, this is inspired from the amazing creator dandayi!)

I'll try to upload where the idea come to my mind first. I hope that's alright for you!
