Imagine yourself in the TV show Sherlock Holmes. You live in the flat just below Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. It has been many years since you last saw the consulting detective, seeing as you were just kids when he moved away. But now, you are disappointed find that he doesn't remember you. It becomes your goal to make him remember and in the process you find that you have fallen in love with him. Will he love you back, though? That question haunts you every day when you show up at his door to help him solve cases. The game in on! (I do not own any of the Sherlock characters!)

When Sherlock goes off to solve another case for Scotland Yard, he doesn't expect to be greeted by a new member of the forensics team that shows serious promise of being more than an idiot. She just needs a nudge in the right direction. You are going to be his apprentice, and he'll teach you the art of being a genius. What he didn't anticipate is that you're going him to teach him a lot too, but on a different kind of subject... This is a work written by AspiringHuntressWhoGetsKilled on Archive of our Own. I brought the story to Wattpad so everyone on here could read it, too. :) This story is not mine- so if you vote on it here, I'm sure she would appreciate it if you went and gave her kudos on AO3. Enjoy!

This story follows the main plotline of the BBC show, Sherlock. However, there are some timeline inconsistencies to better fit the flow of the story. I do not own any of the plotline or characters from the BBC show, Sherlock. I only own Y/N's character development within the story.

You live in the flat underneath Sherlock Holmes. You work at St Barts as a pathologist, and you just can't escape the presence of the inexplicably enigmatic and intriguing detective. Sherlock x reader; canon, reader-insert. Follows the series, with the reader as an additional character.

(Y/N) (L/N) works for Mycroft Holmes and has for years, but when Mycroft's brother, Sherlock, fakes his suicide, Mycroft needs someone to take his place. He decides there is no one better than (Y/N) who has nearly identical abilities to his little brother, but is she up for the task of replacing the famous consulting detective? The answer to that question is for Sherlock to answer when he returns and tries to find out just who this woman is that has been replicating his life. {Mature Content}

Mycroft had always warned Sherlock that feelings can get in the way, especially when it comes to his chosen line of work. Typically, this would be the one thing the two brothers could agree on, however, when you reappear on his doorstep after years of no contact, informing Sherlock that your life's in danger, he's left struggling with both his feelings and what happened in your shared past. How can he possibly pretend such strong emotions have never existed when they still remain?
