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.

Not Exactly Model Behaviour by darnedchild reviews
May Sherlolly Monthly Prompt - Modeling AU - "Everyone loves her! Even her ex-boyfriends have nothing but kind things to say. No one is that nice. It's unnatural." (Be advised, this has the first hints of Sherlolly.)

Saint Bartholomew by Ariane DeVere reviews
Sherlock rarely reveals much about his youth. When John finds out something about his childhood and makes a nice gesture, why should Sherlock care? After all, sentiment? Sentiment is a chemical defect found in the losing side.

This just ain’t living by Xenay LP reviews
John didn’t worry when Sherlock Holmes was silent inside his room and started to avoid him. He threatened to call Mycroft, when Sherlock wouldn’t eat for a week. He began to grow concerned when his flatmate couldn’t get up from his bed and walk to the bathroom. And John nearly dialled 999 when he found a not moving, not responsive Sherlock on the floor with a broken glass.

Tainted by storylover18 reviews
Sherlock has injured himself but he hates hospitals. So what does he do? He hides it, of course. At least, he tries to but Dr. Watson has always been the best and Sherlock's secret is soon found out. Now John must patch Sherlock up because he still refuses to go to hospital. Hurt/comfort - not slash, just friendship.

Inspector Lestrade Investigates by Rector reviews
Greg Lestrade is in a rut: there's not much in his life that brings any joy these days. If this is a mid-life crisis, he'd rather skip it and retire. Maybe he needs a holiday. Maybe he should chuck it all in and go live on a boat. He knows something needs to change, but what?

Words Hurt Too, You Know by LodestarJumper reviews
Sherlock is ill, John is busy, and Lestrade calls him in for a case...and it doesn't end well causing Sherlock to need a drive home. AKA: The one time Mycroft saw how Donovan and Anderson treat his sibling and was 1274950% not okay with that. (One-Shot)

Of Lost Boys and Broken Bones by TheProfoundSilence reviews
Young Sherlock breaks a bone. He is intrigued. Mycroft is long-suffering. Just a bit of silliness that came out of nowhere.

No League Of Ours by Hekate1308 reviews
Someone made an offer to several of the best hit men in the World: Kill Sherlock Holmes. Whoever made the kill would get the money. Keeping Sherlock safe was going to be difficult enough, John knew. Then someone the consulting detective had met during the three years he never talked about showed up and everything got even more complicated. Post-Reunion, season 3 disregarded. AU.

The Miracle Worth Waiting For by theDubliner reviews
A pathetic excuse for what once passed as Doctor John Watson returns from a night out to find an old friend... Post-Reichenbach, reunion fic - only slashy if you choose to interpret it as such.

Standing at the Gates by EmRose92 reviews
Sherlock is dying, and John is nowhere to be found. But he is the only place he could be - standing watch at the gates. A precursor to "In Not So Many Words." An interlude in HLV, answering the question "Where in the world was John in Sherlock's Mind Palace?"

To Inspire Such Dreams by EmRose92 reviews
John is plagued by nightmares following the events of A Study in Pink. Sherlock gets curious and jumps into scientist mode. John doesn't really appreciate it. Sherlock/John friendship bonding, some character study. NO slash.
