After being arrested for a third time in a month, ex-addict and university dropout Sherlock Holmes is told by Detective Inspector Greg Lestrade that he needs an actual qualification if he's going to become a consulting detective.

Lord, What Fools These Mortals Be! by
OccasionallyCreative reviews
Take one lonely consulting detective. Add a generous portion of a conflicted pathologist, followed by a dash of confused fiance. Complete with a garnish of meddlesome fairies and some love juice, and you have quite the cocktail.

Pain Management 2 - Missing Scenes from S4 by
TheGracefulBlueCat reviews
New missing scene from 4x03: Sherlock is searching his mind for memories of Eurus, getting dangerously creative in trying to find them - or any clues at all. John is dragged into the process without warning. Hurt/comfort, bad memories, a lot of pain in every manifestation possible - and caring John of course.

When The Angel Woos The Clay by
hobbitsdoitbetter reviews
In the aftermath of the Affair of the Six Thatchers, John is in freefall and Molly is trying to hold things together. But her kindness won't save John and his behaviour can't be excused- No matter how guilty he's feeling. And then, of course, there's the matter of Sherlock... Serious angst, MAJOR SPOILERS FOR S4, eventual Sherlolly

While he has expected the question, he didn't think the Chief Superintendent would be quite so blunt or hostile, considering that Sherlock died less than a week ago. DI Dimmock, Post-Reichenbach.

The Green Blade by
verityburns reviews
As a serial killer hits the headlines, the police are out of their depth and the next victim is out of time. With faith in Sherlock Holmes at an all time low, this is a case which will push loyalties to the limit... Strong friendship/bromance. Not Slash. WARNING: REVIEWS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS

An Innocent Man by
Fang's Fawn reviews
"And what about John Watson?" Sherlock had asked. He had expected a rather dull answer...after all, he had been away. He had not expected to hear that John had spent the past two years in prison. Series 3 AU. Not slash.

Very Good Indeed by
StillWaters1 reviews
John Watson was a doctor, trained to observe details; a fact Sherlock had never been more aware of than when a drugged John's lifesaving instructions were based on an unlabeled syringe and an unconscious murder suspect's body.

Invisible by
chappysmom reviews
John had had the knack for as long as he could remember. It wasn't that he could become invisible, exactly. The laws of physics worked quite well in his vicinity, thank you very much. It was just that people tended … not to see him. 11 chapters

The Distance Getting Close by
Morgan Stuart reviews
What Lestrade needed that night was distance. What he wanted was a few hours alone in which to grieve. What he got was Sherlock Holmes picking the lock of his front door.

He has practically just finished talking to Lestrade when it happens. A sudden dizziness assaults his brain, things tip sideways, and he barely catches himself on the arm of the sofa to slow his descent before he collapses altogether to the floor.
