An Insult to the Rational Mind by
JolieBlack reviews
Jim Moriarty's face appears on every screen in the country - and Britain's two brightest minds are forced to acknowledge that sometimes, even their razor-sharp intellects and all the British Government's resources combined are not enough to read a riddle and find the right answer. - Friendship, angst, and tentative Sherlolly.

Trope Me Not by
GhyllWyne reviews
Just a bit of fluff wherein Sherlock and John discuss the aspects of a certain fiction genre with which we are intimately familiar. No disrespect intended. I am, after all, both a fan and a contributor to said genre.

Tale As Old As Time by

Light-headed, good by
EllisHendricks reviews
Even when drunk, all thoughts lead back to Molly Hooper eventually. My take on some missing bits from John and Sherlock's infamous stag night in 'The Sign of Three'. Written really quickly, so apologies if rough around the edges! Hints at future Sherlolly. Mostly just drunken antics. Rated T for language.

The Franck Sonata by
whirligigkat reviews
When Sherlock, violin, is assigned Molly Hooper, piano, as his chamber music partner, it becomes abundantly clear to Molly that he is a Complete and Utter Arsehole. It's too bad that when they play together, the music is...perfect. Through playing the Franck Sonata, they will have to find some sort of accord, or end up killing each other during rehearsal! AU in classical music.

Simple Procedure by
Fang's Fawn reviews
Sherlock may be the common denominator for Mrs. Hudson, Lestrade and Molly, but when a routine surgery briefly puts John out of commission, it becomes apparent that someone else is responsible for drawing them together. Takes place sometime during series 2.

Collateral Damage by
Fang's Fawn reviews
Sherlock was initially jealous of Major James Sholto, but when the major opens his eyes to what exactly Sherlock means to John, Sherlock becomes frightened instead. Sherlock doesn't approve of collateral damage, either...at least, not if it involves John. Character study; spoilers for TSoT.

04 BBC SHERLOCK: The Case of the FLAT-OUT Adventure by
Wynsom reviews
The enduring relationship between Sherlock and John can be seen in many subtle ways; how they work together, how they play together, how they understand each other, and how little they need to talk about it. Not a mystery, but an ADVENTURE, this fic examines the nuances of these extraordinary characters on what might be considered an ordinary day. Takes place before TRF.
