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.

Gravitational Resonance by ivywatcher reviews
Mycroft has accumulated a great many titles and positions, many of which will never be disclosed to the general public. But he has only ever truly been three things: a brother, a patriot, and a lover of poetry. There has never been time for anything else.

Friends in Embarrassing Places by Catslynw reviews
One-shot. Set after "The Blind Banker." John goes to court to face the music… and the ASBO. Lestrade and company get involved despite John's best efforts to keep things quiet. Gen. Friendship.

Clostridium Botulinum by Fool Who Follows reviews
Another what if for the climax of TGG. "That little dizzy spell you had a couple of minutes ago wasn't just adrenaline, Doctor Watson." Friendship, but could be pre-slash if you like.

A Book At Bedtime by Garmonbozia reviews
Sherlock discovers something amazing about children's books. Which would be fine, except John would really, really like to go to sleep now. Oneshot For Megan, from whom I unashamedly stole this idea

Infestation by Cumberbatch Critter reviews
John just wants to relax after a gruelling week at work, and then - Sherlock twisted his finger around a lock of his hair. "... I think I've got lice," he said shortly. [Pre-S3 fluff.]

Freak by xfphile reviews
It is a widely-acknowledged fact that John Watson – doctor, army captain, flatmate/bodyguard/buffer for the world's only consulting detective – is loyal to a fault.

And yet, here I am by JolieBlack reviews
"I once said that caring is not an advantage. And yet, here I am." - After the disaster at Appledore, Mycroft Holmes contemplates Sherlock's future (or lack thereof). Sherlock himself has very little to say on the matter. A missing moment from "His Last Vow". Drama, Angst, a lot of Hurt and very little Comfort. Rated T for references to suicide.

A Scientist or a Philosopher by Kerkerian-Horizon reviews
After the events of His Last Vow, nothing is certain. A few things in Sherlock's life haven't changed, though, and one night Detective Inspector Lestrade needs his help in a personal matter. No pairing, post-HLV.

Hands by Cumberbatch Critter reviews
Sherlock's having a little trouble getting ahold of himself after Magnussen visits him in the hospital. His panic is muted, but it's there, buried beneath the hospital-grade drugs he's hooked up to. Thankfully, John's presence is always better than the sedatives, anyway. [Set after the HLV deleted scene, whump, h/c, rated T because of the general tone of the deleted scene.]

Excursions and Alarums by sgam76
Sherlock has been sent down from school for being, well, Sherlock. Which means Mummy isn't happy. Which means Sherlock is on the receiving end of that unhappiness. And all of that leads to oral surgery, unfortunate chemical experiments, and, oh yes, Stoned Mycroft. On his birthday. Because the world needs some of that. A Holmes Brothers Birthday adventure

A Bagatelle In Beige by Melaszka reviews
It's a parody of A Study In Pink. It is meant to be an affectionate parody and no disrespect whatsoever is intended to either the actors or writers of Sherlock.

The Shirt by SentimentalDefect reviews
/"John I've worn this shirt a thousand times, why on earth does it suddenly bother you that I wear this particular shirt?"/ John sighed. "It's not the shirt, Sherlock, it's the looks you get when you wear it." John confronts our favorite detective about a certain Purple Shirt.

Walking away by Succi reviews
During a nightshift Molly Hooper is called to A&E. Different scenarios play out in her head what could have happened to one of her friends. But what awaits her there beats everything she has imagined.

Copper Beaches by Succi reviews
The case seems easy – a 6 at best - and then Sherlock wakes up in a hospital suffering from amnesia (Yes, a cheesy situation, but work with me here) and Molly finds herself engaged to him, bound to move in with him and plan a wedding that can't happen, because the groom is out of his mind and still tries to solve a case that suddenly turns into a 9. - COMPLETE

Something Borrowed by GhyllWyne reviews
Begins in the month after the wedding, and goes to the end of HLV. Follows Something Broken but will stand alone. One caution: Not everything is what it seems in the beginning. Sherlock would add: It's dangerous to draw conclusions without sufficient data. There were a lot of motives left unexplained in the broadcast episode. This story's point is to fix that.

John's Niggle by mollygibbs101 reviews
John gets a little niggle in the back of his head after he notices a change in Sherlock's behaviour. Hopefully John's senses help him to help Sherlock in time. DarkFic. Rated M to be safe. Graphic content. Mistakes are mine and this is my first Sherlock fic, hopefully more will follow! :)

Wait! by Sandylee007 reviews

Pulse by ConsultingDetectiveOfGallifrey reviews
Sherlock is kidnapped and poisoned. Barely breathing and pulse slowed to almost nothing, will the doctors be able to save him in time? Or will they even realize he's still alive?

How Did We End Up Here? by johnsarmylady reviews
A blizzard keeps even the least self respecting criminals wrapped up warm at home, but Sherlock has a bottle of pilfered brandy, the consumption of which leads to some interesting tales being told. Special thanks to MAPLELEAFCAMEO for her help in finding the right title for this tale... Rated T because I'm still paranoid...

One in Ten Thousand by Blind Author reviews
John seems to have unusual mobility for a shoulder wound… Just a random snippet that came into my mind, set after TGG. Largely gen, but could be interpreted as pre-slash.

Government Shutdown by chappysmom reviews
Sherlock was staring now. "Whatever is the matter with you, Mycroft? You haven't insulted me once and you're barely following the conversation." John cleared his throat. "I think I can answer that question for you. Mycroft? What's the date?" "10th January 2006."
