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. |
You've Got a Friend by
LyricalSinger reviews
When John gets injured at the end of a case, Sherlock announces that he will be the one to aid John during his recovery because he is the best person to take on the job … obviously. While John has no qualms about putting his fate in the hands of his flatmate, it seems everyone else does.

Through Thick and Thin by
charlock221 reviews
A-Z one-shots of hurt/comfort stories between Sherlock and John. Perhaps Sherlock doesn't realise just how much he needs John. Or vice versa, for that matter. They are always there for each other, though of course, their friendship isn't without its obstacles and difficulties.

Sherlock's impetuous nature lands him in hot water. Part of my Sherlolly Saga, fits into the timeline after Until Death and before Quiet Sunday. Parentlock. Cover image by elbafo - the photoshop queen!

Shadow Child by
Kourion reviews
"I know that everything was taken away from me! Don't you think I am aware of that fact! It might be the only thing that I do know!" "And doesn't it make sense then! Doesn't rage make sense?," John volleys back, not to be off-put. "Yes!," I thunder before I can stop myself. "Of course it does!"

Sequel to Collateral Damage. Sherlock is in Rehab; John is trying to stop him from bouncing off the walls, as Mycroft goes hunting for Moriarty. Pre Scandal in Belgravia, but doing much to explain the subtext running through that episode.

Back-up Plans by
EllisHendricks reviews
There was a good reason why Mary chose Molly to be godmother to her child - she could feel her past catching up with her. Set around the time of 'The Six Thatchers', kicking off with an extension to the scene in the Watsons' home. Established Warstan, with Sherlolly implied for the future (might become more than implied - haven't thought that far ahead yet!).

2007 by
sevenpercent reviews
Sherlock loses his mind. Mycroft loses control. It's 2007, and the Holmes brothers must come to terms with their demons – and each other. A prequel to the "On Pins and Needles" series, but can also be read as a standalone piece.

If by

Sequel to Never The Twain Shall Meet. When Sherlock comes back again to a distraught John, a brother with too many secrets and a father he hasn't seen in years, is family going to be enough to save him this time?

Never the twain shall meet by
Storystuff reviews
When Mycroft swore to look after his brother he never thought that perhaps one day he wouldn't have to do it alone. A story of brotherhood, friendship, hope, jealousy and the changing of the winds.

I Could Write a Book by
librarianmum reviews
There's a reason why Mycroft has to use his exercise equipment more often these days. And there's a reason why Molly walks the streets without fear these days. It's an odd friendship and even Sherlock can't fathom it, but it works for them...until Mycroft makes the fatal mistake of underestimating a certain Molly Hooper.

After the Storm by
librarianmum reviews
Sherlock is back and John should be pleased... but it's never that simple, is it? Follows on immediately from Lighting Fires, as Sherlock struggles to return, John struggles to adapt, Greg and Mrs Hudson struggle to forgive and Mycroft struggles to make his brother understand. Focuses on Sherlock's POV of view on the events in Lighting Fires and afterwards, so read that first.

Be Near Me When My Light Is Low by
hobbitsdoitbetter reviews
Sherlock is back in the world after The Fall. Back in London, back with John. It's everything he ever wanted, everything he fought for- It should be everything he needs. But something is wrong with Molly Hooper and he's determined to get to the bottom of it... Whether Ms. Hooper wants him to or not. Hard T for some language, Sherlolly. AU now, sequel up.

Faith Like A Child by
Ricechex reviews
Spoilers through all episodes. What if, when Sherlock jumped from the roof of St. Bart's, things had not gone quite according to plan? What if he came away from the jump with a serious injury, resulting in brain damage? And how does John deal with it?

Appropriate Countermeasures by
GhyllWyne reviews
It's shortly after the wedding, and Sherlock is finding it a lot harder to deal with this new dynamic than he ever expected. John is having issues of his own, starting with the first night of his honeymoon. This is a post-TSoT, pre-HLV story. It turns out also to be e a prequel to my current post-TAB WIP, Something True.

Chasing Shadows by
InkySpectacles reviews
Post-Reichenbach, NON-ANGSTY. Not much, at least. Moriarty tried to burn Sherlock's world; now he will know what it's like to burn. BAMF Sherlock and John.

Might Be Stronger by
Starlight05 reviews
John isn't the only one who has nightmares. When Sherlock returns, they bring him down, almost as far as he fell before. So the question is if he can find a way, after everything he has been through, to find hope again. Post-Reichenbach one shot. Rated T because I'm a bit paranoid.

Similitude by
Starlight05 reviews
Shortly after a fight with his impossible flatmate, John Watson finds himself in a new world. A world in which his life is not his life, his flatmate is no longer his flatmate, and the word impossible just might get a whole new meaning... Literal AU because I'm ridiculous.

Espionage and Exfiltration by
Starlight05 reviews
Sherlock has worked for the British Government as a spy for years, never finding satisfaction in the profession thanks largely to his brother's meddling. But when he is to be sent on a promising mission in the middle of the night, he finds himself rather intrigued. And then there is the man being sent along with him... Spy AU.

Recoveries by
