(Jim Moriarty x reader) [COMPLETED] - "...Jim," she gasped. He stared at her intensely, hands in his pockets. His hair was messy, and dark circles hung from his eyes. He had on a suit and a loosened tie. "Hi," he said. She frowned, still slightly shook by his sudden presence. "What are you doing here?" He grinned and walked forward. "I wanted to see you. I missed you." She looked at him, confused, and shook her head. She shrugged her shoulders. "That doesn't explain to me what you're doing here. If fact, you can't be here. You-you need to leave-" Jim walked forward again. "Didn't you miss me?" ... Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Sherlock Holmes universe characters, only the original ones.

"Jealousy and greed were a twin-headed snake that had not even shown her face, and yet Sherlock could already feel her coiling around his throat and flexing her fangs oh so dangerously close to his jugular. She was a looming phantom; a sickening nectar that always managed to find its way into his veins; a vision of what the future held." Sherlock Holmes can only be described as a deluge of curiosities, despite being a man of his work (and only his work). Intrigued, Julia Ruth Fuller writes to him as often as possible from her drab home in Glasgow, living with her parents as a recently unemployed waitress, trying to make end's-meet. Upon hearing that her aunt, Martha Hudson, is sudden ill, she manages to scrounge up enough money and finds herself flying to London to be at her side. Before she knows it, Julia has to make sacrifices and face her fears, all in order to bring a stop to London's black market organ trade.

"Don't forbid yourself from having this. She's good for you." Sherlock pursed his lips. "I know, but I'm not good for her." "You'll never know unless you try." -- This will have a slight canon divergence. I will be changing aspects of series four while also trying to keep it as similar as possible.
