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.
