FYI: I generally avoid Sherlock or John death fics. Mostly non-slash.

A House is not a Home by selenityshiroi reviews
This is a prompt fill from the LJ Fic Meme. John and Sherlock got a flat share because they needed to split the rent. But when John comes into money, people wonder 'why hasn't he found a place of his own' The actual prompt is inside the story

Life had not treated Mrs. Hudson well. It made up for it, a thousand times over, by sending her Sherlock Holmes.

09 BBC Sherlock: Nine Slices of Cake by Wynsom reviews
In TSOT, clever Mary Morstan knew the boys needed "to run" and urged them to pick a case, especially Sherlock who was definitely becoming obsessive compulsive about the wedding plans. This fanfic occurs in that split-second when John convinces Sherlock to pick a case. Comically played by Benedict and Martin, this moment is IMHO a precursor to darker events to come in HLV

06 BBC Sherlock: UNSUMMONED by Wynsom reviews
"Blood is thicker than water," except when it comes to Sherlock Holmes. When "BLUD," to all intents and purposes, seemed to have failed the detective in THE REICHENBACH FALL, John Watson chooses to soldier up, face their enemy together, and summon the courage to protect his friend. This series revisits the tragic scenes in TRF from John's POV. (T for language in later chapters)

A Very Specific Type by Spartangal22 reviews
Molly's engagement is over. She ended it. As she takes off her ring for the last time, she reflects on the man who led her to this decision, the ridiculousness that is love at first sight, and why, after all these years, she still loves Sherlock Holmes.

The Rudest Man In London by hobbitsdoitbetter reviews
London, 1895. All newly-minted heiress Molly Hooper wants to find is a reasonably agreeable husband and a patron to keep her father's clinic. Thanks to a rather public faux pas what she ends up with is an engagement to Sherlock Holmes, a man The Times has dubbed "The Rudest Man in London." But what happens if this marriage of convenience becomes inconveniently emotional? FINISHED!

How to Forgive a Sociopath by Stryder2008 reviews
An accident changes everything. "Shock raced through him and paralyzed his response as he stared down, trying to understand what he was seeing. Because what he was seeing simply wasn't possible…he was dead. But lying on that gurney, less than 300 yards from 221B Baker Street's front door, in a pool of wet black hair and bright red blood, was Sherlock Holmes." No SLASH. Friendship.

The Dark Reaches of the Night by coloradoandcolorado1 reviews
In a drug-induced haze, Sherlock witnesses a murder, but in the clear light of day, he isn't sure what he saw. But when he's accused of committing the crime, Sherlock struggles to get sober, clear his name, and repair the relationships he has destroyed before someone he loves becomes the killer's next target. A Sherlolly mystery. Muse Song: Wintersong by Sarah McLachlan.

I've Just Got One by Peonywinx reviews
Non-slashy take on the Sherlock-knowing-John-before-ASiP trope. A letter arrives for Sherlock at a crime scene, and the folks at New Scotland Yard learn the real truth of the detective's insistence that he doesn't have friends.

Sociopathy and Other Anti-Aphrodisiacs by Sherlockianfangirl36 reviews
A Sherlolly romance set after HLV but disregarding the reappearance of Moriarty. Sherlock is forced to acknowledge his growing regard for Molly after a former love interest reenters her life. I like fluff, with maybe a tiinnnyyy bit of angst.

Collapse and Contamination by Gwen's Blue Box reviews
There aren't many things that will stop Sherlock Holmes from running off to a crime scene and investigating. Certainly not John Watson's comments about his pasty skin colour or his being unwell - which is ridiculous because he's absolutely fine. Until, of course, his transport fails while he's crouching down next to a corpse, and John might happen to be right once again./One-shot

Wounded by MichelleTheVampGirl reviews
Sherlock's torture left a mark not just on his skin but on his mind, and it's beginning to change how he interacts with those around him. As Sherlock's wounds begin to fester, he has to face his worst enemy- his own mind, and his lack of belief in his own worth to those he holds most dear. EDIT: Rating changed to T for increased gore and violence references.

Winds of Change by Writingwife83 reviews
Set after S3 . Molly is hurt by the fact that Sherlock didn't bother to say goodbye properly to her before leaving, assuming he'd never see them again. She's ready to change their dynamic and make sure he can't mistreat her anymore. But Sherlock ends up feeling guilty, and offers to do something unusual to make up for the hurt he caused.

Shot in the Dark by Benfan reviews
The revelations about Sherlock's abduction as a boy are troubling each of the three men, Mycroft, Sherlock and John. Sherlock wants to know the whole truth, but Mycroft has sworn never to tell anybody anything, certainly not to Sherlock. A shot in the dark pushes everyone to their limits...
