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.

Soldier On by KCS reviews
Four melodramatic ways Sherlock dreamed of finally returning to London, and the one rather boring (but a Bit Good) way it actually happened. Gen, fiveshot, basic conjectural spoilers for speculative S3, with a dash of ACD canon.

Elapsed by intjsherlocked reviews
Sherlock and John are thrust back in time to capture a serial killer of the past. It's guaranteed that it won't be a smooth or boring case with modern-day Sherlock running about Victorian London.

More Than One Kind of Warmth by KimberlyTheOwl reviews
John comes home hypothermic and it's Sherlock's fault (sort of), so he does his awkward best to remedy matters. Gratuitous fluff and h/c. Not slash unless you really want it to be. General sweetness all 'round.

Victim, Bait, Hero, Friend by KimberlyTheOwl reviews

Bullets make a smaller hole going in than they make going out. John knows this - he's a doctor, and he's been shot. He never thought he'd compare Sherlock to a bullet, but then, that was before the damned genius jumped off a building and tore John to shreds. Oneshot. 2x3 spoilers.
