A thorn by any other name would hurt just as deep, or whatever the saying is. ~~~ Greg Lestrade would say Sherlock Holmes was always the smartest in the room. Whether at 221B or Scotland Yard, no ordinary person ever came close to compete with his... intellectual prowess. Well, no one but you. So when work guides you back to London, there was no surprise when the D.I. welcomed you back with open arms. ~~~ All characters belong to BBC for portrayals and original characters have been written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Based on the events of the tv show, Liz is thrown into Sherlock's world and falls deerstalker over feet for the new mystery in his life. Note: Cases are from the actual show.

A BBC SHERLOCK FANFICTION SHERLOCKxOFC (If you wish, read 'The Deduction Series' stories before reading this one) (Set after The Reichenbach Fall) It has been over a year since Sherlock faked his death and during that time he has been going around the world dismantling Moriarty's web of followers. Now, he has come to a road stop in France and must wait for new leads from Mycroft to come his way. With nowhere to go he heads to the outskirts of Montargis to find a girl he once knew many years ago. Once there, though, he realizes that it isn't just his life that has been flipped upside-down. This girl has also had things happen to her and Sherlock is keen to find out just what it is she is hiding from him. Cover by Quirky

Harley is even more crazy than her brother Jim. But she's much ruder than Sherlock. But she can be more willing than John. More protective than Lestrade. More intelligent than Mycroft. More caring than Mrs. Hudson.

Over all these years - all the crimes he's solved, the murders he's witnessed, the people he's met - nothing could compare to the enormity of this. Not Moriarty, not dismembering his entire terror network. Not even the secrets of the woman who calls herself Mary Morstan, or even Charles Augustus Magnussen's vaults could come close. This woman is someone who cannot be controlled. She even has a hold over Mycroft, and therefore could run the country. Her intelligence could make her even more dangerous than Moriarty, should she so choose. She has kept completely off the grid for some time now. All ten years since her eighteenth birthday, to be exact. But now she returns, and it's up to those around her to figure out why. Sherlock's sister is visiting.

Allison Cooper is not your average girl. She is an intelligent loner, a social outcast of sorts. Moving to London seemed the best plan when she had some family troubles, and she takes 221c Baker Street, the flat right under the man who will change her life.

Introducing Rosanne Jones- the new resident at 221 Baker Street. At their first meeting, Sherlock declares her boring and orders her out, to John's chagrin and Rose's anger. However, things start to change slowly as he realizes she's far cleverer than she looks, and might just be the one thing he's been missing in life. But what if she's not who she says she is? (Sherlock x OC)

She's unassuming Danielle Nolan. He's the always extraordinary Sherlock Holmes. She's a 27 year old landlady. He's a 27 year old consulting detective. They're so different. Right? Wrong. Cause Danielle Nolan is a big barrel of contradictions. Sherlock is determined to figure this (definitely insane) woman's every detail! (I own nothing but the Nolan family!)

Elanor Rosenberg is not what you'd call a normal girl. Age 32, living on her own, having just graduated a second college with a major in forensic science -- and experience as a mortuary technician -- but resolved to working at a book store to support herself. Until she meets the infamous Sherlock Holmes, and goes down a path that changes her life.

In search of an affordable living space, (Y/f/n) finds herself sharing a flat with an overly-protective doctor and a high-functioning sociopath. Rated 13+ for profanity (Disclaimer: I do not own the works mentioned in this story)
