Carefully selected, high quality stories of angst, hurt/comfort, tragedy, adventure, romance, humor, friendship, AU, Cabin Pressure & Star Trek crossovers, etc. Join the BBC Sherlock regulars on their adventures and never worry about finding that perfect story again. FYI: I generally avoid Sherlock or John death fics. Mostly non-slash.

God Save the Clown by Servant of Fire
"Please, Mr. Holmes...Please...Save me from him. And the Collection...The Collection is yours." Magnussen begged on his knees, clinging to Sherlock's coat. Sherlock's face had never looked so made of stone. John stands there jaw hanging open stunned by the dark pit Sherlock stepped off into this time. Now he regrets the words they said. Sherlock's eyes say "It doesn't matter now".

captain of my soul by Anera527 reviews
When the unthinkable happens, John's world is turned upside down. But not all is as it seems, and when it comes down to it the most dangerous enemy is not a man at all, but the mind.

Sherlock Sick Fics by tapeandblades reviews
Just a bunch of Sherlock sick fics. They're my guiltiest pleasure and I love reading them, and found that I get a lot of (rather dark) delight out of writing them. I hope you enjoy! Time to start torturing the boys at Baker Street.

Keep Breathing by Moonlit Fall reviews
TLD. "I want you to kill me." John's heart crawled into his throat. That sickening feeling, the cold fear and panic that had gripped him as he stood outside Bart's rose again inside his chest. Lestrade sat back hard against the couch cushions, turning to John in horror. John and Lestrade listen to the recording from the night Culverton almost killed Sherlock. Oneshot.

Data Overload by ACtravels reviews
Sherlock is crashing off the mistakes made vis a vis the woman (among other things), John isn't so far off hitting Sherlock with something heavy and/or chemically toxic and there's a student murdered at his laptop in Earls Court. Case fic. No romantic pairings, just friendshipy goodness.

Moving Day by katkin reviews
Today was the day that Sherlock Holmes had never expected to come around. In all his stubbornness and astuteness he had predicted rather incorrectly that the events of the day were not going to occur. Today was John Watson's moving day.

Experiments by sharmini reviews
John appreciates Sherlock fussing over him. But then wonders why the detective does it. Not quite implied-slash, nor is it slash. Just the two of them.

Whatever he told Mycroft, John trusted Sherlock almost instantly. When a new case shows up - smattered with the usual thrill of danger, death and cool logic - such trust ends up pushed to its very limits...
