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.

Unwise by O'Donnell reviews
HLV. Sherlock returns to Baker Street from the drugs den and the lab at Bart's. So what is Mycroft doing sitting on the stairs like Christopher Robin waiting for him? And why?

Black Angel by O'Donnell reviews
Early morning on a Thames Bridge a black angel saves the life of a girl with a backpack and a secret. There are violins - but not romantic ones. Adventure. One shot that might yet become the start of a story.

A Study in Linguistics by rizandace reviews
Sherlock Holmes and John Watson had their own language. It was a language of few words and minute facial expressions, and John had learned that it was nearly the only way to have an honest conversation with his eccentric flat mate. Edited June 15, 2013

Trickster Tricked by The Death Frisbee reviews
There could be a bomb on an Underground train, but Sherlock's having a glass of wine with an interesting - interested? - party. One-shot, complete. Hints of slash, canonical, pre-"Reichenbach."

Emotional Context, Sherlock by versarilaetus reviews
After Eurus's emotional vivisection, Sherlock returns to Baker Street and tries to put the shattered pieces of his life back together. Takes place immediately after the Final Problem but before that happy little montage. Shameless Sherlolly. Fluff with a little angst. Will probably lead to a little naughtiness.

Magpie: One for Sorrow by sevenpercent reviews
"I'm fine." Pre-So3, Sherlock's mental health crumbles while those brave enough to call themselves friends and family struggle to help him back.

Devonshire Squires by sevenpercent reviews
Post TEH/Pre So3, John and Sherlock are struggling to rebuild bridges, when a demanding case challenges both of their assumptions about what happened to the other one during the hiatus. Lestrade tries to play peacemaker, but Mycroft's meddling is counter-productive. Follows on from A Pocketful of Rye in Got My Eye on You, but easily stands alone

Holdup in Hammersmith by Starlight05 reviews
While investigating a simple case in a bank, Sherlock is taken hostage. Not at all in the mood, he behaves like... well, like Sherlock. However, one robber appears less enthusiastic than the others. All Sherlock has to do is, somehow, gain the man's support before it's too late. AU in which John is a bank robber and Sherlock one of the hostages.

Never By Halves by Gwen's Blue Box reviews
Sherlock, John should have known that much by now, never does anything by halves. When he notices the first signs of an approaching sickness, he, despite his best intentions to keep a closer eye on Sherlock, puts it down to stress and exhaustion. And since Sherlock is very adept at claiming to be fine, John only slowly becomes aware of the severity of Sherlock's illness./Sick!fic
