A Case of the Mind and Heart - a Sherlock Holmes fanfic

intro + disclaimer

Hii

Thank you so much for giving this book a chance. I can't promise that it's perfect but I hope you still love it. Enjoy!

intro -

Sherlock Holmes doesn't do emotions. Or romance.

Famous for his razor-sharp mind and complete disregard for social norms, Sherlock is a detective who thrives in the intellectual realm, solving cases with cold, unfeeling precision. People are puzzles, and he's the solver—always. But when he meets Dr. Avani in the ER, he's confronted with something he doesn't understand: an enigma that isn't easily solved.

Dr Avani Mishra has built a life of balance—until Sherlock Holmes enters it.

A brilliant doctor at London's busiest emergency room, Avani is fiercely independent, navigating the chaos of her job with calm and precision. But beneath the surface, something is missing—something she can't quite name.

When a string of medical anomalies surfaces at St. Bart's—patients mysteriously falling ill with symptoms that don't quite add up—Avani and Sherlock are forced to work together. But as the cases grow darker and more dangerous, it becomes clear that someone is targeting the hospital—and Avani may be the next victim.

With every case they solve together, the tension between them intensifies—emotionally, intellectually, and inevitably, romantically. But as the stakes rise, so does the risk. Sherlock's growing feelings for Avani complicate everything—especially when he realizes that solving this case may come at a cost that he's not willing to pay.

In a world where logic reigns, sometimes the heart doesn't follow the rules.

P.S. I personally don't like to cast my characters but if you guys prefer it I will consider making moodboards for all the main characters.
