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.

The Art Of Communication by StillWaters1 reviews
Lestrade was used to getting odd, non sequitur texts from Sherlock. But when "John went out for milk" was followed by a terse "two hours ago," Lestrade immediately understood three things: John was missing, Sherlock was quietly panicking, and this could all end very, very badly.

A Little Leverage by A Wandering Minstrel reviews
Lestrade helps Sherlock home after the events in Belgravia. And gets a little leverage along the way.

The Uncanny Mrs Hudson by ifonlynotnever reviews
ONE SHOT. "Mrs Hudson knew precisely what kind of person she was offering tea to. The assassin, however, did not know what she'd added to the tea." Or: Mrs Hudson is the biggest BAMF of all.

Dying Like That Is Stupid by Gwen's Blue Box reviews
It cannot get any worse, John has assumed originally. Lost their suspect, got lost themselves, nothing but cold and snow and trees surrounding them. Well, he is wrong. A so far unpleasant situation suddenly turns into a possibly life-threatening one, and soon John finds himself, together with Lestrade, facing a race against the clock to save his best friend's life. Prompt fill.

He's Only Ever Human by Cumberbatch Critter reviews
On the few times that John actually notices Sherlock's humanity, it gives him a sense of being refreshed. Sherlock's only human. It's nice to see. Series of oneshots highlighting Sherlock's emotions, because we all know that he has them. Rated M: Chapter Seventy-Four for swearing and mentions of drug use; it's skippable. The rest of the story is rated T. NOW COMPLETE.

Stop the Presses by Emmyjean reviews
In a bid repair his image and win back public confidence following the Magnussen mess, Sherlock is forced by Mycroft to give an interview to a popular weekend magazine. As the interviewer gets progressively more personal in a bid to know "the man beneath the hat", Sherlock tries harder to downplay his true thoughts and feelings – to the detriment of certain personal relationships.

The Colour of Wine by owlcroft reviews
Sherlock and John are both on record as believing the other to be "the best and wisest man" he has ever known. In this story John demonstrates his wisdom by asking something very particular of Sherlock, and Sherlock demonstrates a bit of his own with his answer. Oh, and he solves a murder, too. Set between A Scandal in Belgravia and The Hound of Baskerville.

You're An Idiot by Sparx424 reviews
A string of mysterious murders, a kidnapping, and a threatening message. There's a new game afoot, except this time Sherlock isn't sure he wants to play. But then, it's not like he has a choice. He promised, after all. Whump. COMPLETE!

Incapacitation by Cumberbatch Critter reviews
The doctor had just asked how bad the pain was when the pain spiked. Sherlock's initial response was a gasp that evolved into a whimper. "Ten," he gasped. "Ten..."

Catastrophe Medicine by LaSuen reviews
Chasing after a pyromaniac bomber Sherlock and John wind up in a deserted building which explodes and leaves them trapped under the rubble, both severely injured. One-shot. Hard-core bromance.

A Trip of the Mind by Crowley For King reviews
After running off by himself again, Sherlock is forcibly given a dose of LSD. Unable to tell the difference between reality and hallucinations, he unwillingly and unknowingly gives everyone an unfiltered look into his own mind. And what they see is startling. OneShot. Mentions of child abuse. Wear wichever goggles you choose.

There Was A Man Playing Violin In The Park by Esther Kirkland reviews
Sometimes, it's what you hear but refuse to look at that makes all the difference. Post-Reichenbach, soon after the fall. A bit of drabble that's been in my head for a bit. Oneshot. As always, No Slash. Reviews are welcomed!

Molly Matters Most by Support Checkered reviews
Molly is going to finally confront Sherlock. She hopes. A short one shot that I imagine to happen somewhere after season 3, shameless Sherlolly fluff. Spoiler alerts (kinda) for anyone who hasn't finished season 3.

A Vintage Heart by writerfan2013 reviews
Molly has found a way to help her forget her ridiculous, hopeless crush on Sherlock. But as his case unfolds, Sherlock realises she is somehow involved. Sherlolly alert! Also alert for romance, 1960s musical nostalgia and many sequins. Chapter 24: Still improving. Thanks for reading and please feedback! (The playlist for this is on tube of you...) And thank you for 60,000 views!

Honeymoon In Croyden by hobbitsdoitbetter reviews
To be fair, Sherlock knows that what he's about to do is more than a Bit Not Good. After all, he's stealing Molly Hooper's wedding limo. With Molly inside it. In her wedding dress. On her wedding day. But even he can't predict the outcome when you mix Molly, mayhem and Elvis Presley's greatest hits. How will the Runaway Bride and the Great Detective get along? Shameless foof.

Triage by Morgan Stuart reviews
Donovan didn't want to see this, and Sherlock didn't want to be seen - especially by her - this way.

A Parisian Mystery by TheAuthor1996 reviews
John insists that Sherlock needs a holiday to which the detective keeps dismissing but all that changes when 'The Starry Night' by Vincent Van Gogh gets stolen. Sherlock is in luck that John has a cousin in Paris willing to put him up during his visit. Perhaps our favourite detective may solve the one mystery no one has every come to fully understand. Love

It takes John Watson to save your life by Ernil i Pheriannath reviews
A series of One shots where John saves Sherlock's life in so many ways. Will be updated sporadically as and when I get any time to write. As always I like my characters hurt, so plenty of angst, H/C, whump and bromance (no slash) will ensue. Please review if you can.
