Petunia Dursley has trouble: she's lost her family, she's going crazy, she can do magic (but not always), her suitors are a mixed bag (operative word) & people keep trying to take her children away from her. They should be very afraid. (Not only a) Double Severitus. WARNING: Not what you expected.

After the Fall, Mycroft Holmes takes it upon himself to look after his brother's bereaved flatmate. A story told in drabbles. No slash.

Rupert Giles writes down his thoughts concerning his charge, one Buffy Summers, throughout her Slaying career. Snark, British pride and a father's love found within. Each entry is based on an episode and will span every episode that Giles appears in.

What if John never took that walk in that park at that exact time, and never ran into Mike Stamford? John and Sherlock's lives are entwined, and so they keep crossing paths as the events of season 1 play out... just a little differently.

Set somewhere in Season 1. John and Harold try to get to know each other, trust issues included.

Sherlock makes a final deduction about Mycroft after The Final Problem. Spoilers! This fic focuses on the brothers' relationship after the events of S4e3. It also includes both of them interacting with other characters who have been affected by the latest events. Brotherly love and angst ahead! Please review!

Mycroft's thoughts on life, death, and the most irritating little brother in the world. What is he thinking as his brother points a gun at him? New chapter added; what is Sherlock thinking as he points the gun at his brother?

Missing scenes, unique point of views, and eventually a more rounded-out ending to The Final Problem. SPOILERS! (Obviously.) T because, well, the episode? Short updates on purpose.

Those hours and hours that Sherlock and John were out. What happened between Mycroft and Eurus? And how does it end? How will it end, Sherlock? / Holmes brothers/ TheFinalProblem/ Resolutions/ warning for angst -.-

Continuing from the ending of S4E3. A story where John and Sherlock live, work, and raise Rosie, together again at 221B. No Romance, just good old fashioned happy fluff drabbles about their lives. (Also some that are not so happy). Focused around character development and interesting moments in their lives.

Sherlock Holmes is at last a man with a heart. But heart and head must both rise to the occasion when an unsecured Sherrinford in the past leads to problems in the present-and declarations of love are not easily forgotten. [Season 5 AU, no slash, Sherlolly] [faulty docx FIXED!]

Sigmund Freud called it an iceberg. But people know what lies on the bottom of the ocean; nobody quite knows what's at the edge of the universe. [Eurus Holmes character study. Gen.]

Set post-4x03, so not spoiler free. I got this really trashy idea about getting the Holmes brothers to bond over a child, and this happened. Basically, after everything goes down at Sherrinford, Mycroft gets an unexpected visitor who's just going to change everyone's life, one adorable dimpled smile at a time.

This is an alternate version of the scene at the hospital in The Lying Detective. In this version Culverton Smith's attempts at suffocating Sherlock have progressed to a point where it may already be too late for John to save the detective.

Molly is late to help Sherlock babysit Rosie and the scene she walks in on can only be descibed as cute. Tumblr prompt: Sherlolly babysitting Rosie and playing pirates.

Sherlock's visits with Euros in Sherrinford, playing violin. Just a little one shot after watching The Final Problem. Major Spoilers. I have warned you.

Sherlock never realized how good he would be at this parenting thing. Or how much he would love it.

"How can anyone ever say that they are happy when they have all those things left in their minds? At least I'm honest. I can never be happy." A short season 4 drabble about John Watson and his inner demons.

INSPIRED BY THE EASTER EGG FROM THE LYING DETECTIVE: Sherlock receives a postcard from an organisation know as 'Torchwood', requesting his help tracking someone down. ALSO ON WATTPAD.

For the current Tumblr Sherlock challenge, Hidden Talents. A scene I thought was happening during season 4 episode 1, The Six Thatchers, but didn't - so both spoilers for the general situation and not-canon compliant. Mrs. Hudson has unsuspected skills...and no compunction using them.

John crossed a line.

WIP. Harry makes a different choice in King's Cross and is given the double edged gift of a second chance. Time Travel AU, DH canon.

John Reese could never be called a lucky man. So it's not surprising that his complicated personal life continues to be complicated even in the afterlife...

Harold Grieves for John

there's no going back to the people they were.

"What. Are. You. Doing?" Words Joss Carter-soon to be Joss Carter-Reese- never thought she would utter on her wedding day. I own nothing.

There are infinitely many simulations, leading to infinitely many paths. If the world is just a simulation, then the outcome can be changed. Manipulated to the best ending. Replayed over and over again until they get it right. Sameen Shaw did not put a bullet in her brain seven thousand and fifty four times to watch Root die alone. It's time to change the game.

Post 1.21 Many Happy Returns

Root deserved better. Here is my version of the last scene of the series ending episode. As in all my stories, humor abounds. Like it or don't like it...drop me a line.

Shaw finds Root alive; she is unsure whether to be angry and punch her or to be happy and marry her. A spirit from the past will help her decide. Connected to my other fanfic "Everyone is alive and well".

"everyone dies alone. but if you mean something to someone…if you help someone or love someone, and even a single person remembers you…then maybe you never really die at all." joss, root, and john, and the people who remember them.

Harold is alone at his computer working a Number. Or is he?

Harold honors John's sacrifice and keeps himself alive. -spoilers for series finale-

John Watson didn't get invalided home from Afghanistan. He died there. (Sort of.) [Reaper!lock AU]

"The only time she feels alive is when Shaw's hands are on her skin, when she's tugging her closer but knowing that it'll never quite be close enough, this will never be enough but she knows that with Shaw this is all she'll ever get so she'll take it." The evolution of Root and Shaw's relationship, told in three parts.

This wasn't exactly what Buffy had been expecting when she'd offered her hot chick with superpowers self up to Nick Fury for joint world saveage. (POST-AVENGERS through Ch8; further chapters spoil for IM3 and THOR2).

In which Sherlock struggles not to let his other addictions get the best of him, and John misjudges a cold. (Warning: self harm fic)

On the few times that John actually notices Sherlock's humanity, it gives him a sense of being refreshed. Sherlock's only human. It's nice to see. Series of oneshots highlighting Sherlock's emotions, because we all know that he has them. Rated M: Chapter Seventy-Four for swearing and mentions of drug use; it's skippable. The rest of the story is rated T. NOW COMPLETE.

Sherlock Holmes has a decent bedside manner.

It was just John, John being John, and he'd stepped in to try and help and now Sherlock was at his funeral. [M for mostly angst, with a tiny bit of language.]

Now that he was back, Greg wasn't sure what to do. Sherlock and Greg's reunion from The Empty Hearse. Greg's POV.

And he'll fall again and again and again, and she will try to understand herself, love, and herself in love.

John and Mary find the sheet music Sherlock left for them at their wedding reception. So3 'missing' scene.

Help Me. Please. These were two statements that Greg had never received from Sherlock, not in this context. They were two statements that could made him panic. Character study.

Chihaya invites Arata to stay at her house for Christmas during their senior year of high school. Lots of sweet fluff inside!

Someone starts leaving festive comments on John's blog. He loves Christmas, so he loves it. Sherlock, however, isn't so much of a Christmas person, so he finds it rather... annoying. A 221B and a song!fic in every chapter. Sherlockian Christmas carols!

On Remembrance Day, Sherlock sits down with one of John's old war buddies... T for description of war and wounds.

A series of oneshot/snapshots in the minds of different characters during different moments in A Study in Pink. Canon. Chapter Thirteen: The phone was at Baker Street... but now it's suddenly not? Oh, no... The cabbie!

Chihaya and Taichi saw Arata with a girl outside an ice cream parlor. Who is she and what is her relationship with him? Chihaya was more than prepared to know as she realizes her deep feelings for her mentor! ChihayaxArata pair! fluffxfluff!

Just because Sherlock stopped, doesn't mean the Work has to. London is John's city now and he will keep it together with stitching, string, his healing, the food off his table, and sometimes the clothes off his back. John Watson keeps going. He's good at that.

"Sherlock had never expected dismantling Moriarty's empire would be anything less than gruelling; however, he also never anticipated just how desperately he would miss home." Post-Reichenbach to reunion, via Sherlock's p.o.v.

When John finally gives in and accepts a case for the first time since Sherlock fell eight months ago, he finds himself in a unique position: in possession of what his client calls a time machine, and desperate enough to give it a go. If it works, he could travel back in time. If it works, he could save Sherlock.

Danger was a green pool in an inner courtyard, the wet slide of skin against skin, the risk of being caught. Danger was a needle under the floorboards, opium in the toe of a slipper, the subterfuge of his habit. Danger was a shabby cabbie, even odds, an aneurysm. [Warnings for discussion of trauma, abuse, rape, violence.]

Just fluff, mostly. John really gets geared up to yell at Sherlock, only to realize that you can't really chew someone out until you know their middle name. :) But Sherlock is remarkably closed-mouth about it...which only drives John to do some investigating of his own. Probably only a two-or-three parter. Just for fun. NO SLASH.

Suppose Anya had managed to get Spike to make a wish in "Entropy"? A look at what one change to history would mean for the Scoobies. Buffy/Spike, Tara/Willow, Anya/Xander, but all have a long way to go before any happy endings.

"Goodbye, John." And John will never spend another moment with Sherlock again. Post-Reichenbach ficlet.

Pre-A Study In Pink. After being permanently invalided home from the Army, John fails to see what life could possibly have to throw at him any more. He thinks that there is nothing left for him now, and then, as is often the case, Life takes John by surprise and shows him that he couldn't have been more wrong.

He stands on the hill overlooking his grave. But, he is not dead. Inspired by the poem "Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep".

Because John Watson was Sherlock's best friend, and no one was ever going to change that. A series of drabbles and one shots focused on Sherlock, John, and their friendship

COMPLETE! Sherlock Holmes has been beaten by precisely four people in his extensive career. John Watson is NOT about to become number five. S/J, rating for ch.14 only. Everything's nice and cheerful and fluffy until it isn't.

There is more than one lens through which to view a man's soul. A series of second-person studies looking into the hearts and minds of the characters of Sherlock.

Sherlock and the team at Scotland Yard are surprised by John

We've all seen The Reichenbach Fall. We know what happened. We know how Moriarty decided to "burn" Sherlock. But what if he had chosen a different way? What if he had decided to really burn Sherlock's 'heart? What might it have looked like? Well…Maybe something like this. "Reversed Reichenbach". NO SLASH. Rated for brief mentions of drugs and potential violence to come.

Adjusting to a new life is difficult, if not impossible. John Watson struggles to go on and find peace after Sherlock's fall. But it is hard to rebuild himself if his own demons keep bringing him back down. Post-Reichenbach. No Johnlock.

Sherlock may be gone, but John still has his phone number, if nothing else. Series of 100-300 word drabbles. All friendship.

Reason for referral: Sherlock Holmes was admitted to dual diagnosis unit for detox on 27.5.2002, following arrest for intoxication on 26.5.2002. Patient was under the influence of cocaine when he was admitted. Requested single unit. Request granted by special permission.

BBC Sherlock - It's been three years since Sherlock faked his death in Reichenbach Fall. Sherlock's been hiding for the last three years, trying to get rid of all of Moriarty's men. But that changes when he receives a text from someone. Rated T...for now.

This isn't so much a crossover story as it is a "dealing with the feels of Lake Silencio and the Reichenbach fall" piece. Which means, basically, it's a "Curse you, Moffat, we will get through this!" piece. : Inspired by the short fic "The Milk Goes Off" by Garmonbozia, who said that it was a "Post-Silencio Falls" piece. The phrase stuck in my head and...out came this fic. Enjoy!

"Based on John's posture and reaction to what he read in the newspaper, it must be related to his military service. Based on his response to the phone call, it was a Bit Not Good." John hadn't talked for nearly two days, hardly ate, hadn't slept well since he got the phone call, and had been avoiding Sherlock. He wasn't fine. COMPLETE. (In Between 'verse) Rated for some violence.

And one time that he didn't.

John thought it was a little bit amusing that Sherlock could fall victim to a normal illness like the flu- that was, thought it was funny until he looked at the thermometer. Rated M for language, drug abuse, allusions, and innuendos.

Or, five times Sherlock Holmes wished Mycroft wasn't his brother, and one time he didn't mind. Features kid!Lock. Some angsty themes, including post-Reichenbach and drug use. COMPLETE!

Mycroft remembered the first time he had been forced to pull John aside and explain. It was obvious that no one had warned the doctor that the addiction came with a higher price, when Sherlock's control floundered and the spark of his restraint went out, leaving him in darkness.

He feels himself getting hotter as he watches Sherlock pace. Thankfully, Sherlock gets tired of pacing sooner rather than later. And he decides to take John out. NO SLASH, despite my suggestive summary and title. It includes ice cream and no romantic love, but a Sherlock with his walls slightly down and a John with a nice idea.

"Oh, for goodness' sake. What are you doing now?" "What?" "You're sniveling all over the place. It's atrocious." In which John is sick, Sherlock's a bit testy, and in the end, John is still miserable but feeling a slight bit better. Canon.

His name was like a mantra on John's lips, as if saying it could bring back the one he missed most. Post-Reichenbach. Canon. Spoilers for Season Two. I know it's longish, which a lot of people seem to bypass longer stories, but... you know me. Give it a shot.

Sherlock and John being... Well, Sherlock and John. A series of small moments.

In which Sherlock remembers a special day, surprises John, and does something that's a bit out of character for him. In the end, it's all fine. And just a little bit funny. Canon.

Sometimes everything is just too much and too little for Sherlock. John however, has a way of dealing with this. Four words, five syllables and Sherlock is alive again: "Show me something new."

People reckon they've almost got it figured, why Sherlock and John get on so well. ...almost.

John is sick...what does Sherlock do? Fluffy one shot. Johnlock.

Sherlock never asked what happened in the hours between John being kidnapped and the events at the pool. It occurs to him, days after the fact, that he probably should have.

Sherlock left a will behind after the fall, and it seems he was more sentimental than he let on.

John starts to lose faith.

John's interest in dating women has rekindled, much to Sherlock's annoyance. However, this is only the start of revelations affecting them. Before they can deal with their own feelings, they have to deal with the latest threat to their safety whilst coping with Mycroft's meddling.

Sometimes Sherlock likes to think in colours. In the confusing world of human character and emotion, colours provide an effective organising system free of the ambiguity of simple labels. Happy, sad, angry… the words change and the meanings differ, but people are always true to their colours.

Post-Reichenbach one-shot; John deals- or rather doesn't- with Sherlock's absence.

When Sherlock falls, the warmth of the local pub seems all too welcoming to John. Apparently, he isn't the only one.

Reposted from old account. John reminisces on his first impression of Sherlock versus now. Just something short to entertain you. John's POV. No spoilers except for the first episode, "Study in Pink."

Their names are inverse to each other, and that is beautiful.

John speculates as the fireworks light up the sky and Sherlock, for a moment, is completely and utterly silent. Speculative/Contemplative SomewhatCharacterStudy-ish John. GuyFawkes/Fireworks Day/Bonfire Night!fic. Not meant to be slash, although John thinks the 'l' word in an friendly way.

It was after the first week, after the first week of nightmares that John knew he couldn't stay at 221B Baker Street any longer. Post-Reichenbach. Obvious spoilers.

Post-series. Wesley recovers his heritage, then returns to his mother's family in England. DH spoilers.

The choice is simple. Real, and No John. Or Not Real, and John. For a prompt that says 'John dies and Sherlock loses himself in his Mind Palace'. Rated T for mentions of violence and character deaths.

In which Sherlock and John go on a camping trip... and John is smart at three in the morning, Sherlock is probably just a little bit impressed, and going with the obvious answer here is the best choice, after all.

Greg never stopped believing. He truly never did. Post-Reichenbach. Rated T for language.

He's a man trapped in a broken box. He wants to leave. A bullet may have stripped him of his dexterity but never his strength. Or how John Watson learnt to fight a different war.

The two new professors are essentially old and harmless. Sure Professor Sigerson has the strangest knowledge of posions and Professor Morstan knows the cleanest way to kill a man with a scalpel, but so what? Based on a prompt from a while back. Sherlock and John undercover at a University.

It's not often the detectivtes of NSY get shoved off their own crime sceen for reasons not concerning Sherlock Holmes. It's even less often that Sherlock gets shoved off with them. So why can John stay?

In real life, there are only small miracles, and people don't find each other 'just in time'. They find each other when it's too late. Post-Reichenbach, character death.

I'm just having some fun with the DSM - couldn't resist it when Sherlock called himself a sociopath. Now, why would such a brilliant man get his own diagnosis wrong? John Watson wanted to find out, and so did I.

Spoilers for Blind Banker! Sometimes Sherlock needs a 'close-your-eyes' moment too...

Sherlock helps John to come to terms with the ordeal of his kidnapping. A one-shot which follows directly after The Blind Banker. No slash.

Wherein John Watson puts his foot down when it comes to a certain habit of his new flat mate, and in so doing, proves Sherlock Holmes to be very wrong. Rated for mentions of drug use & language.

Written for prompt. Mycroft planned the meeting of his brother and Watson, because it takes a particular type of person to cope with Sherlock Holmes.

Fifty drabbles, fifty crossovers, five thousand words: 50 Things that Never Happened to Buffy Summers.

Maybe it is time for a happy ending for two old friends, with a little help from Buffy and Faith. Post-Chosen. Willow & Xander

It is time for some resolution for certain characters.

Xander's sister has come home from her job in Collinsport, Maine for a brief visit.

After the events of "Invisible Girl," a surprise visitor shows up at Buffy's house.
