How Dare You? by
3seconds reviews
What if there was more to why Molly slapped Sherlock than just the drugs? Set at the beginning of His Last Vow. Rated M for drug use and mild violence.

Advertising Space by
Flaignhan reviews
She reads it through a couple of times, just to make certain that she's not grasping at straws, that she's not seeing coded messages where there is, in reality, a painfully lonely person sitting in a dingy room desperate for someone to love them.

Under the Radar by
JolieBlack reviews
Fifteen years after the events of "The Three Students", London is under threat, a ghost from the past reappears, and at the instigation of the British Government, Sherlock and John set out to fight a battle they can't win. Casefic, drama, suspense, action, friendship and a bit of angst. Gen; no pairings.

The Natural Science of Happiness Hormones by

Sherlock has had a hard time convincing Molly of the truth of his words at Sherrinford. Science to the rescue! Sherlolly

The Mystery of Moods by
Vintage Tea Party reviews
There's something wrong with Sherlock. But it isn't a bad mood like John suggests. John gets emotional but Sherlock does not and he certainly isn't going to handle it like John handles his emotions. Not slash, just fluffy friendship.

Pardon Me Too by
hatondog reviews
Sherlock has skirted social disaster to receive a pardon directly from the Queen (see, the prequel story, Pardon Me). He also received a private assignment from her to solve a sexually charged mystery which threatens the crown. The case will bring back an old friend and put him at further odds with Mycroft-who is, thanks to Her Majesty, Sherlock's new boss.

Pardon Me by
hatondog reviews
Mycroft is being a good big brother by arranging a pardon for Sherlock's killing of Charles Augustus Magnussen. But there's a condition: Sherlock has to meet the Queen for the pardon to take effect. Can he behave himself with royalty? Or will he become too absorbed in stopping a new tide of illegal drugs from swamping London to bother? Post TAB.

You Were Great by
patster223 reviews
War. That's it, isn't it? You're in a war. You almost laugh, but then you remember that half a building is currently resting on top of you and you refrain from expressing your incredulity.

Paying Back by
Dayja reviews
Some men do not appreciate Sherlock's handling of their cases. They decide to pay him back. Written in response to a kink prompt which I cannot find again despite scouring the prompts pages for at least half an hour.

Not Talking Now That You're Here by
sevenpercent reviews
After the return, pre-So3, Sherlock is not talking to John- not even in his Mind Palace. The reasons why may surprise you. A continuation of the "Talking" Series, with each chapter standing alone, and not necessarily in chronological order.

The Misadventure of the Deceptive Detective by
englishtutor reviews
In which this presumptuous author shamelessly rewrites ACD's "The Adventure of the Dying Detective" by inserting her own AU character, Mary Watson, into an integral role. What will Mary do when Mrs. Hudson pleads for her help with the desperately ill Sherlock? Major spoilers for Sir Arthur's delightful short story.

When Worlds Collide by
storylover18 reviews
Trampling around London in the middle of winter has its consequences. What happens when Sherlock falls ill and John has to step in? In a nut-shell, a collision of the seemingly invincible Sherlock and reality of the real world. Inspired by Benedict Cumberbatch's run with pneumonia. Set during A Scandal in Belgravia. Somewhat fluffy - no slash what-so-ever, merely friendship.

The Psychopath by
Januscars reviews
Sherlock Holmes is faced with a murder. Fairly normal for him. But he knows this murderer, and this murderer knows him. And John, DI Lestrade, Sgt Sally Donovan and Anderson are confronted with a horrific truth, that leaves some of them doubting their judgement of Sherlock's character. This is my first fanfic, please leave me reviews and suggestions! Hope the rating is appropriate!

I Do Believe by

Written for the post-REIC prompt: Five times Sherlock used a disguise to watch over the people he left behind, and one time he revealed himself.

Brothers by
Scholar for Christ reviews
"A muffled boom caused Sherlock to turn his gaze upward. Then, in a rush, something huge surged past him, John's hand clawed at his shirt then was gone and a garbled, bubble-encased scream burst from John's lips." My own ending for The Great Game.

Frozen Till He Comes by
CaughtOutInTheDark reviews
When Sherlock is kidnapped, John has to figure out where he is. But Sherlock's body temperature is dropping and he knows that it won't be long until he freezes to death. Non slash, but strong friendship, probably. T for safety. Now with a part two on what happens afterwards...

youre a potential black hole but oh, its beautiful by
drjohnhwatson reviews
You're a potential black hole, and if you collapse you'll bring us all down. But don't worry, it's beautiful my dear, and I will always be there to unfold you from the implosion. John sometimes thinks Sherlock is an exploding star. One shot. Not slash.

Here Comes the Black Parade by
x Bout as Stable as the Wind x reviews
Lestrade's still here because he's good at his job. Every little added wrinkle of worry, or line of a frown, means something. But damn it all to hell. He never thought, not for a moment, that they would ever mean that Sherlock Holmes was dead. [drabble for the S2 finale]
