"Alrighty Miss. Tierney," Mrs. Hudson, the kind landlady, said. "Here are your keys and if you ever need to copy them, tell me before hand." She handed me the silver key with the distinctive 221c numbers pressed onto it. I smiled at the lady and pocketed the keys in my short, black, over-dress coat.
"Thank you Mrs. Hudson. You will expect my pay for rent before the end of the month." I said, setting my suitcase in the hall outside of the locked door. Mrs. Hudson started to walk away but stopped as she seemed to remember something.
"By the way sweetie, if you hear violin playing, yelling, jumping, explosions, pounding, or gun shots coming from upstairs, don't think anything of it. Although, if it is too quite for too long then we should start to worry." The old lady smiled at me and turned around. I looked at her with probably the biggest confused expression anyone could muster. Gun shots? Explosions? What apartment did I move into? "Oh and one more thing," Mrs. Hudson poked her head from around the corner that led to her flat. "If you see random, confused people walking around, just direct them upstairs." She waved then disappeared around the corner. I just stood there shocked. God, why can't my life be normal?

Sherlock and Loki. Throw together crazy circumstances, an alternate universe, a mixture of Moriarty and an accomplice on Asgard and a super-evil plan, add a pinch of disaster and your arch-nemesis's doom, and what do you have? A recipe for the perfect super-villain plan. - EXCERPT "Mind Palace?" Loki echoed with a frown. "Yes," Sherlock confirmed, "it's... how do I explain it? You use visual memory to build a mental house, and use the rooms to remember information." "And this actually helps you remember things?" Loki frowned. "Yes," Sherlock nodded, "for example - what was Miss Hudson wearing this morning?" "Why should I care?" Loki asked, "that's not relevant at all." "But that's the thing," Sherlock replied patiently, "in detective-work, everything is relevant. You see, she was wearing an old pants, which means she'll be working in the garden because she also had boots on. And if she's working in the garden, she'll be busy for a while. Which'll ensure that she won't clean our room, and find my revolver under the mattress." Loki raised an eyebrow. "Impressive." Sherlock smiled. "I know, I can be a genius, sometimes." "Join the club," Loki mumbled, "genius, well-armed, abandoned psychopaths." "High-functioning sociopath," Sherlock corrected automatically. "What?" Loki frowned. "Sociopath," Sherlock repeated, "not psychopath." "So you're saying you have feelings," Loki smirked, "that's interesting coming from a person who locks themselves up in their... mind palace... twenty-four-seven. I'm sticking to psychopath - it's closer to philanthropist too." "Stop talking John," Sherlock mumbled, clearly zoning out again. Loki sighed. - Highest rankings: #1 in Sherloki (01-06-'19) #92 in Mycroft (05-05-'19) #551 in Sherlock (05-05-'19) [Book 1 of the Sherloki'd series.]Complete

It Started With Stealing | Sherlock Holmes
Elizabeth Parrish is a thief but not just any thief - She is Moriarty's personal thief. She made a deal with a devil and she enjoyed it: the thrill, the challenge, the money. Every job he gave her left her on a high that she couldn't get enough of. She's never been caught before either. But when a job goes wrong, Elizabeth is left with a choice: Help Sherlock & John hunt down Moriarty and potentially get a clean slate afterwards or be locked away in prison for the rest of her life for attempting to steal top-secret government files. Which will she choose? And will her choice help her win or lose the game? DISCLAIMER: I do not own BBC Sherlock or any characters/plotlines related to/used in the show. What I do own is Elizabeth Parrish, her story and her associates. Also some crimes (not that I committed them myself lmao). Also, the picture on the cover isn't mine so credits to whoever made that picture - I merely put a title on it. :) Started: Feb 2019 Finished: May 2021 #1 in The Reichenbach Fall - 10/06/2020 #1 in The Great Game - 20/06/2020 #3 in Sherlock Holmes - 27/06/2020 #1 in Benedict Cumberbatch 06/07/2020 ❤❤❤ #1 in Irene Adler - 16/07/2020 #1 in Sherlock BBC - 31/07/2020 #1 in Sebastian Moran - 03/08/2020 #1 in Moriarty - 15/08/2020 #1 in Greg Lestrade - 02/09/2020 #1 in Mrs Hudson - 28/10/2020 #1 in Baker Street - 01/11/2020 #1 in Sherlock Love Story - 01/12/2020 ❤❤❤ #1 in Lestrade - 01/12/2020 #1 in 221B - 16/12/2020 #1 in BBC Sherlock - 31/01/2021 #1 in Detective - 19/03/2021 😲 #1 in John Watson - 10/05/2021 #2 in Jim Moriarty - 12/12/2021 #1 in OC Story - 20/12/2021 #1 in Thief - 04/05/2023Complete
Sherlock X Reader One Shots || 𝐹𝐿𝑈𝐹𝐹 + 𝑆𝑀𝑈𝑇
No AI! ✊ [[UPDATED: recently]] ✨ 30+ 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 ✨ Some fluff 💕, some smut 🔞, each 'one shot' is usually over 20,000 words, so they're more like short stories. Basically, I watched the BBC version of the show, saw the rare moments where Sherlock was funny, expressive, passionate, eccentric and thought, "That's adorable and sexy, what if we could have that for the WHOLE SHOW?" And here we are. ___ I do not write in first person because I find it cringy! There will be no 'I smile at him---' or 'He takes your hand---' here. Every story is third person omnipresent. ___ In this book: - Join Sherlock on cases - Visit his parents in the countryside - Go on dates - Cook together - Look after some animals - Comfort him - Have HIM comfort YOU - Enjoy some dominant Sherl - And some sub Sherl - A bit of both - 🎀 Don't be afraid to make a request! I'm an AO3 veteran, so I've seen it all 😉🤣 ___ - Female reader - Set around season one, in most of these Y/N is renting the spare room in 221B after John moved out with a random girlfriend that I made up and never mention - No death, drugs, smoking, gore, blood, mental illness etc. - I'll label chapters that are properly explicit 🤎 No trigger warnings apply; just feel good vibes 🤎 See table of contents (first chapter) for one-shot plot summaries. NO AI GUARANTEE! I promise that I will never and have never used artificial intelligence (apart from the spelling checker that comes with Word) to write my stories. This entire book came from my human brain, and the source material (the BBC) of which it's based (also thought up by humans). Thank you for supporting human art 🩷
Amor Before Moriarty - A Sheriarty Fanfiction (Sherlock)
"Sherlock, how many ways must I say it for you to understand? I'm love before Moriarty. I'm Eros before Moriarty. I'm more than Moriarty. Amor before Moriarty!" When Mrs Hudson discovers a wad of well-loved and secretive looking paper in Sherlock's bedroom, who can blame her for reading it? After all, Sherlock is such an elusive mystery in himself. These letters could solve said case. However, if she does, she may get more than she bargained for. Diary entries from Moriarty's past; back when he and Sherlock were young men, and dating! This story should be a simple question of young love. But the fact that Moriarty was - at the same time - concocting a plan to steal a lot of money, well, it complicated things. There is also a letter from Moriarty at the end, one of the 'Should I die, give this to-' letter-types. Oh dear, Mrs Hudson. Are you ready?Complete
Love, Lies & Death ( A Sherlock Fanfiction)
"How are you dealing with your Philophobia?" Sherlock asked, completely ignoring John, who looked more confused as ever. "You haven't forgotten about that, have you?" Minerva smiled at him. Nine years ago she had met him and already knew something was special about him. His deduction skills were something she'd never seen before and yet he still remebered her fear of falling in love. "I'm doing fine, Sherlock. How about you?" Sherlock knew what she was hinting at. He had learned that Minerva was a master at reading peoples emotions within seconds. She must have seen the love in his eyes. He recalled her saying: "A look into someones eyes, for even just a second, is enough for me to know exactly what their feeling." Knowing he would lie to her, Sherlock answered: "I'm doing well." "I'm sorry, but what the bloody hell is going on?" John inquired. A little piece from my story. This Fanfic contains Johnlock, two of my Oc's and lots of mysteries. Be prepaaaaaareeeed. *vibes to Be prepared* ByeComplete
