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.

14 BBC SHERLOCK: Gift of Silence by Wynsom by Wynsom reviews
Post S-4: John rescues a child from a car explosion and suffers physical and emotional consequences-vertigo, deafness, PTSD. With his family gone, only Sherlock is left to pick up the pieces. Will John let him? [Written preS-4, now it's an AU, but it followed canon trajectory that Mary dies. This fic made no predictions how.] Casefic chapters 7-16, refer to crimes of pedophilia.

Put Down by Succi reviews
For once Sherlock's deduction about Molly Hooper is wrong. Her being sad has nothing to do with breaking if off with Tom. No, the reason is one the consulting detective can sympathize with. So he goes on a mission, because it's unacceptable that his pathologist is not okay. – Set in Series 3.

The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier by englishtutor reviews
When Sherlock disparages John's writing ability, John challenges him to write up a blog entry of his own. The result is a case which had been classified a military secret for many years, now to be revealed for the first time. A modern re-telling of the original tale by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This is for my dear friend, Ennui Enigma, who requested it almost a year ago!
