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.

After Death by AfroGeekGoddess reviews
Fugitive!Sherlock, post-Reichenbach, pre-return. A chronicle of his life on the run with his grief and guilt. Second story of a 3-part, post-Reichenbach arc. Companion piece to "After Life." Angst, loneliness, dark, disturbing moments.

The Sound of Silence by Juliana Brandagamba reviews
[COMPLETE] My take on the two years following the Fall, but from Mrs Hudson's viewpoint, as she holds the fort that is 221 Baker Street and makes sure that she never loses faith in her friend Sherlock Holmes, gone but not forgotten. Spoilers for series 2 and 3.

Home Alone by Juliana Brandagamba reviews
[ONESHOT] John has gone away for the weekend, which means that Sherlock has the run of 221B Baker Street. This is not a reassuring prospect. Luckily John and Mrs H are really rather tolerant. A series of amusing incidents involving a microwave, a self-checkout and other things that Sherlock doesn't get on with.

The Empty Room by englishtutor reviews

Rescue me by codename.penguin reviews
A badly beaten Sherlock is grateful for a little help, even if his doctor is a bit battered himself. AU. Wing!lock

Black Mood by ibelieveinguardianangels reviews
"I can hear you thinking." Sherlock sneered. "It's torturous. I can almost hear the cogs wearing themselves away." He dramatically sniffed the air. "Is that smoke I smell? Perhaps you shouldn't overwork yourself such. Go back to your newspaper." My take on Sherlock's 'black moods'. Mycroft appears briefly.

13 a BBC SHERLOCK 1: MISSING IN ACTION by Wynsom reviews
John Watson is missing during an Underground derailment. With both a very pregnant Mary and Sherlock fearing for his safety, Sherlock goes to the scene to find his friend and grapples with the difficulties of human nature—mostly his own. AU Season 4 - Mostly canon compliant with BBC Sherlock BUT written BEFORE Season 4's January 1st 2017 premiere.

An Authorized Biography by scrub456 reviews
An account of what really happened that night at Angelo's. It's possible maybe the biographers got it wrong. A rather ridiculous (and hopefully humorous) reimagining of one of fandom's favorite scenes. Please don't hate me. #PromptFill

Calling for Help by Dayja reviews
When 6 year old Sherlock gets bored, he calls help lines to report his brother for the horrible abuse of putting him in time out and making him eat peas. It's all fun and games until a new inspector arrives. Now, instead of scolding him for abusing help lines, he's being told how brave he is to reach out. And now the inspector is telling him his name isn't even Sherlock Moriarty?

Fragile by Tor Raptor reviews
Sherlock gets sick, not 'he'll recover in a few days' sick, but hospitalised for a long time sick. His friends are all there to help him but he is Sherlock, he doesn't want or need their help. A continuation of a work written (and unfinished) by gemstone1234

Appendicitis by gemstone1234 reviews
Pretty much what it says on the tin. Sherlock gets appendicitis, deals with it in a very Sherlockian way. I dont really get the rating system so I'm just going to say there's nothing particularly graphic in here, no bad language or anything really. Just the story.

Fractured by radculas reviews
Someone wants Sherlock Holmes to break down. The consulting detective must fight for his sanity until help arrives. But by the time John, Lestrade and Mycroft finds Sherlock...he's completely cracked. This is how he spiraled to insanity.

Devil in Disguise by JillianWatson1058 reviews
When Sherlock is in dire need of a break from cases, a trip to Cornwall is just what he needs! Or not. This seaside village is not as serene as it seems. A sick!fic turned case!fic, or, in other words, a modern rendition of the ACD classic, "The Devil's Foot." No slash, as usual.

Art of the Reasoner by Tellytubby101 reviews
