Wynsom reviews
Post Season 4: Widower and devoted father to Rosie, John Watson would never admit he was bored with the enforced domesticity, but as Mary had once observed, "John needs to run every now and then."

The Lonely by
coloradoandcolorado1 reviews
Sherlock Holmes' return three years after Reichenbach isn't without danger for him or for Molly as he tries to take out the last person in Moriarty's network. This story, based on "The Adventure of the Empty House" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, started as a one shot, changes voices/perspective, and hooked me on Sherlolly. Muse Song: The Lonely by Christina Perri.

Beautiful Trauma by

During a string of grizzly murders with several possible causes, Sherlock finds himself struggling to figure out the case. The killer watches, and adores every beautiful deduction. They love Sherlock, and everything about him. So much so that watching from afar is no longer enough.

The University Mix by
The Circus reviews
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.

Sparks Across The Sky by
The Circus reviews
If there is one thing the John hates it's that sometime it's the little things he can no longer do. Like watch his friend lit up by the brightest explosions Guy Fawkes has to offer.

Point Blank by
PrettyArbitrary reviews
John still knows where he is, in a dimly-lit lab out of a Michael Crichton novel, but damned if that rattling noise doesn't remind him of gunfire in a hot zone, and the spots flooding his eyes are sun on the desert, burning his retinas. Spoilers for HOUN

Your Choice by
TheLazyBAMF reviews
Everything was his fault. If only he was cleverer. If only he didn't ignore the signs. Mummy was right, he was very limited. So he would do everything to make sure that all the people he cares about are safe, even if he ends up being painted as a villain. My take on how Sherlock confronts Mycroft after TFP to make sure he's alright. Cross-posted on AO3

Relapse by
jackbattle6 reviews
This is a lil story about Sherlock relapsing on cocaine, and how he and John work together to get him clean again. Together they have to persevere through the cravings and withdrawal symptoms. I don't know how long it's going to be, but I intend for it to be several chapters.

Always by
JustlikeWater reviews
There was never any doubt that Mycroft would be there for Sherlock. It was a simple, irrefutable fact, as dependable and unchanging as the sea. Because in spite of all the tragedy, chaos, and pain that clouded Sherlock's life, his older brother was the one pillar he could always lean on.
