The name alone is enough to light the eyes of today's Sherlock Holmes - a worthy opponent at last. Between them, they are the gears of crime - perfect opposites.
***
This is a story of two self-obsessed outcasts, determined to win against the other but reluctant to end the game. Geniuses in their own right, two forces colliding... It makes for quite the display. Sherlock and Moriarty, two names that - unknown to them now, but they strive for it - are forever stamped aross the expanding horizons of crimes and those who solve them.
As one conflicted, reluctant unit, they battle through bullying (giving, never recieving), fatal duets, broken friendships, drug abuse (in the form of a particular psychopath) and the light-headed rush of when everything comes together.
Together, they could set the world on fire.

Unexpected
Sherlock... Finally someone in Moriarty's size, not literally of course. Damn he was so sexy back then at the pool. Moriarty still felt arousal rising when he thought about the moment Sherlock lowered the gun onto the bomb. He wondered how it would have felt. His blood, mixed with the one of the master detective. Two consultants, one for crime and one for solving it, united in an explosion of heat and fire. Oh yeah, in his own twisted way, Moriarty definitely had a crush on Sherlock. Why else would he let this man get stalked like crazy? Sherlock was his first real opponent, his game partner. And he was the reason why it all collapsed. Just another Sheriarty ff that kept me busy at night :) TRIGGER WARNING suicidal stuff, violence, rape and angstComplete
|| Be Her Guard || Sherlock Holmes x Reader
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?Complete
