"Stunning!"

"This is one of the best stories I've read on this website. This is stunning. You've built a wonderfully turbulent, passionate, and emotionally investing romance without taking shortcuts or writing smut."
- FanFiction.net user, @randomreader

"Everything just slides so smoothly. You literally watch Sherlock develop into something new: a sentimental man. Now that is what I call good writing."
- Guest user on Fanfiction.net

"It's beautiful and so vivid; I can feel the characters' emotions. This is so suspenseful, I'm completely swept up."
- Guest user on Fanfiction.net

"Everyone is in character, there is a plot, and the romance feels genuine and characteristic of the pair. But [romance] isn't the entire story. There is more going on around them which feels real."

"Completely riveting. The way you portray Irene Adler [is] amazing."
- Wattpad User @SubaDev

"Out of all the Adlock books I've read, THIS ONE is the very best."

BBC Sherlock Holmes and the Nightshot Experiment (COMPLETE) by CLIreland

When something is so eager to be spotted then it would hardly be polite to ignore it" Something ghastly is occurring in the shadows of London. Three people have died and the cause of their death is unrecognizable, the only link found is a series of threatening letters sent directly to each of the diseased. With Mycroft stumped and the British Government in peril it's up to the consulting detective and his blogger to solve the case before time runs out. With the murderers motives and methods opaque Sherlock finds himself rapped up in a mystery that is not only perplexing but emotional in a way that he could never have imagined. Will the team solve their most personal case to date? Or will they too fall victim to the illustrious Nightshot Experiment? THE GAME IS ON!

I'm always looking for feedback so if you see any mistakes like typos, grammar, spelling ect then please let me know!

$Brilliant {A BBC Sherlock Fanfic} by kasiapeia_$

Amelia Watson is a thunderstorm, and her temper a wildfire. Sherlock Holmes is an enigma wrapped in a riddle, his mind a place very few people can understand. Who'd have thought the two would have anything in common? It isn't easy to capture Sherlock Holmes' attention, so what does Amelia have that caught Sherlock's eye from the start? She always believed herself to be nothing but ordinary, but Sherlock Holmes disagrees. The game is on, and Amelia quickly finds herself swept up in the thrill of the chase--something she'd spent the last few years desperately trying to avoid. When an old enemy returns and threatens the one person she loves the most, Amelia finds her loyalties put to the test. The stakes are high in a game of life and death, and to win, Amelia must accept her fate. But how do you go from ordinary to brilliant?

Sherlock, Dinosaurs! by LollyScotch

What if the one and only 'Great Sherlock Holmes' suddenly found himself with a three year old in his care? See Sherlock Holmes, Doctor John Watson, and Eleanor solve crime and go on cases, all while having to deal with toddler tantrums, hungry little bellies, and the demands of a curious three year old girl who never stops learning, and can't sit still. How will Sherlock fare as a father figure to the boisterous girl who never ceases asking questions? and what will this mean for his cases? *Set before Rosie's birth, and after Moriarty's death Credit to @SlyFox1998 for the idea of a baby Holmes ;) her book "Sherlock's heart" is beautifully written. Please have a look at it if you get the chance. Thankyou Xx

Lost Girl 🔍 (Sherlock x Reader) [EDITING] by Existentialism6

You and John Watson were old flames back in your high school year. Thankfully, when you broke up, you still remained friends. That was, until the year of the war came around. While John went to war, you began to tend to your dying sister, who you knew only had a few more years. John and you kept in touch, but the letters started to get more and more infrequent as the war began to get more and more brutal. After your sister died, you moved to London, hoping for a fresh start and to eliminate any memories of your her. The next thing you know, three people get murdered right before your eyes, and guess who shows up to inspect? John Watson. And his friend, Sherlock Holmes. You took a liking to Sherlock, despite his arrogance and sociopathic tendencies, and you slowly begin to see his feelings that he hides underneath his shell. When he sees how clever you are, Sherlock also takes a liking to you, but tries his hardest to hide it. He knows that sentiment is a chemical defect found on the losing side. Now you, Sherlock and John Watson are solving cases together, but what happens when the person you fear most shows up and starts to torment John and Sherlock.

I Am Sher-locked by LittleMikaelson90

The story begins after the end of the series, where everything is over and Irene Adler is now free from her previous, prodigal life. A text message from Sherlock Holmes is the reason she will return to him. A normal relationship between the two seems almost impossible but there is nothing normal for them. The flame that burns inside them is dangerous even for themselves. Will they be able to be together or will everything be destroyed during the effort? ~~~~~~~ *HIGHEST RANK* #1 in ireneadler

Do You Want To Know A Secret? by Dark_Nerd_

An interesting twist on the Sherlock universe-Sherlock is a girl. John, however, doesn't know this. Neither does Mrs. Hudson, or anyone else besides his direct family. This takes place sometime after series 2 or 3, with Mary only dating John. It will eventually contain a bit of Johnlock, with the usual tension and what-not throughout the whole story. But this isn't necessarily just a Johnlock story. There'll be other ships somewhat approached, but overall, it's more of a thriller (or at least, I'm trying to have it be). Cover Art by ShootBadCabbies on Tumblr! Also, kudos to anyone who understands the title and chapter name references. Comment if you have an idea.

I Am (not) Fine ! {A Sher-love story, Sherlock X Reader} by simpingforcurls

COMPLETED !! Y/n is a not-so-regular woman, living a life with many unexpected events. But what will happen when she collaborates with Sherlock Holmes? Will she fall in love for Sherlock? How will her evil brother answer to that? "What do you want from me mrs. Holmes?" I ask. "I need you as a colleague. Your talent is immaculate." He says. "No Sherlock! You will not ruin another polite kid!" mrs. Hudson defends me. "Mrs. Hudson this is Sherlock's business. Don't meddle with it." John says. "See what I mean?" mrs. Hudson says. John leads her in her house and close the door behind them. Sherlock is still holding my wrist. "And what makes you think that I want to be your colleague?" I ask him. I don't own any of the characters. I only own y/n, Barton, Michael, y/n's father and Joanne. Thank you for 1K reads!!❤❤

Sentiment ➳ Sherlock x Reader by SeraSki

Everything is going swell, your even introduced to an annoying sociopath who flirts with your sister just to get info on a body for a crime. Everything changes when Molly goes missing, and your suddenly chasing a kidnapper. What happens when you are teamed with Sherlock Holmes to find who kidnapped your sister? You see different sides of Sherlock Holmes that you never had seen before...but are they good? I know you little fangirls out there love your romance fills so I promise there will be romance.
