Yep, The fourth sentence in the story is:

"It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler."

That's not ambiguous. AT ALL.

And if you wanna argue against it on the grounds of "Watson wrote that, he could be wrong", well, 99% of the stories are written from Watson's POV; if you're going to dismiss this, you have to dismiss most of canon.

"It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler."

That's not ambiguous. AT ALL.

And for her part, Irene spends part of the story getting married to another guy whom she says she loves and she doesn't even really know Holmes anyway and probably just sees him as That Annoying Guy Trying to Sneak into My House.

Yeah, exactly! Either way, it's non-canonical. And yeah, not all versions follow canon, but for every version to not follow canon in this specific way... d-:

probably just sees him as That Annoying Guy Trying to Sneak into My House.

LOL! I'd love it if someone wrote a fic about Irene where she referred to him that way and *didn't* fall for him or try to seduce him.

Don't tell Tumblr that tho. Also don't tell them Watson's expressions of friendship are NOT "totally TEH SECKS" as they will disagree with that completely.....
