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 Blue Carboy by owlcroft reviews
It's nearing Christmas and John has a surprise visitor, one that leads to heartache and loss. Sherlock does what he does best. Set approximately ten months after Mary Morstan Watson's death.

Initially, he wanted to be a pilot by Ariane DeVere reviews

Never Have I Ever by A Wandering Minstrel reviews
John finds himself alone in the flat and decides to enjoy the quiet. At least until a very intoxicated Sherlock Holmes shows up.

Cathartic by nimagine reviews
When mysterious injuries begin appearing on Sherlock's body, but he refuses to tell John where they came from, John fears the worst: that Sherlock has fallen back on his old vices. Tensions rise between the two, but all is not as it seems. Set after season 3. Dark fic. No profanity, sex, or pairings. T for mentions of drugs, alcohol, and mild violence.

Each Heart by nimagine reviews
*SPOILERS FOR EMPTY HEARSE* Right after the events of Empty Hearse, John, when dropping by 221B, accidentally sees the still-healing injuries from Sherlock's torture session. Character study, slight angst, mostly hurt/comfort. I felt like there needed to be a scenario for John finding out how much Sherlock had been through. Clean, as always. Please Read and Review!

Night of the Breathing Dead by CaffieneKitty reviews
John Watson woke up in the dark with a headache, the taste of sweetened copper in his mouth, and Sherlock snarling threats in his left ear.

Illation by Hollyesque reviews
Here, of course, is where the idea blooms thick and inky in his mind, and has nothing to do but claw at the inside of his cranium.

Essentially The Devil Incarnate by Jennistar1 reviews
After the wedding revelations, Sherlock takes the only sensible recourse…he breaks into his brother's house and eats all his ice cream. Mycroft is surprisingly helpful. (Spoilers for 3x02 – the Sign of Three.)

All Good Things to Those Who Wait by Kaelir of Lorien reviews
Ah, how long he had been looking forward to this. He could have remained at a distance, but the temptation – the pure curiosity – was too strong for him to resist. Moriarty's thoughts behind the encounter in the hospital lab during "The Great Game".

The Paper Memorial by Kaelir of Lorien reviews
There is a piece of paper in John's wallet that he never looks at—never, except once, every year, on the third day in November. And there is a warm, tanned, and laughing face that John will never forget: the man, the friend, he couldn't save twice. Oneshot.

Of Mice And Molly by imaginativefig reviews
After Reichenbach, Sherlock ends up in Molly's bed. Don't worry, the rating is correct. Just some fluff. Concrit is appreciated!

Sway With Me by imaginativefig reviews
Mycroft throws a party, Sherlock is man of hidden talents, and Anthea likes Michael Buble's music. "Sarah! Sarah, come look at this..." "Is Sherlock…is he really going to dance?" AU

IM OD x14 by whitchry9 reviews
When John stops by to check on Sherlock after the events on the train, he thinks the worst when he sees a syringe on the table. How was he supposed to know it was for antibiotics for his infected wounds? Written for a prompt.

Genesis by thedragonaunt reviews
Kidlock. Starting at a new school is tough for everyone but when you are Sherlock Holmes - the 'Geek' from Prep School -tough does not begin to cover it. Rated K for graphic descriptions of bullying and for emotional distress. The lovely Cover Image is by the multi-talented AOB. Many thanks to her!

A Place Left Unfilled by Kaelir of Lorien reviews
The worst part was that Lestrade knew the kind of pain you had to put a man through to make him come out that strong on the other side. What he didn't expect was that a Christmas party would be what sent John over the edge. Oneshot.

A Lapse in Judgement by Alias-vendor reviews

A Lack of Understanding by Chalcedony Rivers reviews
"He'd been anticipating this meeting for a long time – almost before The Fall. He knew how it would play out, too. John would punch him, obviously. John was a soldier: the physical violence was inevitable." A reunion fic.

Crossfire by sevenpercent reviews
Set just before the SiB, Sherlock is back, but still recovering from rehab. John's trying to enforce the rules, and Mycroft is being devious, as the three of them try to take on Moriarty and Irene, who have ideas of their own. Let The Battle Commence! (Sequel to Collateral Damage and Side-lined, but will stand alone)

Two left, one right by JolieBlack reviews
Sherlock is back in hospital after absconding from it for John's sake. Molly Hooper, too, has something that needs to be put right. A bedside visit. - A missing moment from "His Last Vow". Very tentative Sherlock/Molly, Friendship, Hurt/Comfort, and shameless Fluff.
