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.

The Many Sherlocks of 221B by Rachelea reviews
The product of my twisted sense of humor: Relentless mockery of BBC Sherlock fanfic tropes, with a few crossovers thrown in. Updated approximately whenever I feel like it. Directly inspired by VivyPotter's 'The Many Harry Potters of Little Hangleton' (Larry forever). And oh dear, is that a sinking ship on the horizon? (My usual standards apply; nothing above a T rating.)

In a London we almost recognise, Sherlock Holmes is a stroppy, solitary genius shirking his civic and moral duty to care for the unfortunate and dispossessed of New Britain. So what is it that possesses him to bring such a wretched, nameless creature with an unspeakable past to Baker Street? Sherlock's life is about to be turned on its head, and all the world with it.
