"Arthur? Arthur? Are you there?" I whispered tentatively, holding the oil wick lantern close to the surface of the water, searching for any sign of him. From his black felt cap to his red jacket, I was knee-high, paddling through the swampy waters, intensely searching for him. I hoped that he was fooling around, and not somewhere, drowned. However, it was silent. No sound was made to indicate his presence. That was when I knew I was treading dangerously in murky waters.

Lost Girl 🔍 (Sherlock x Reader) [EDITING]
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.Complete
Wouldn't Be Alive
Elizabeth's Pov: I woke up and saw him standing in front of me. His sparkling blue eyes were looking at me. I tried to look away but his eyes caught mine and I looked deep into his eyes. His eyes were like a deep ocean to me and I was ready to drown just when he caught me from my hands. I asked him to let me drown but he came closer to me and told me that he will never let me drown. He was too close to me that I was able to feel his warm breath. We both were in kind of euphoria and all I wanted was the Time to be frozen like this forever. For more read it.....;) NOT PROOF READ!!Complete

As people start disappearing all around them, it's up to them to solve the case because if they don't - they're next. #442 in Mystery/Thriller, 6th Feb 2016! Note: My story comes under more than one Wattpad category but I think that Mystery/Thriller is a better way to summarise the plot rather than just placing this work under the broad arm of Fanfiction. This is why I would like this work classed as a Mystery/ Thriller. Sorry if you think this is in the wrong category.Complete
Your Life Is Not Your Own
Lara Westwood, a young adult, follows her abusive boyfriend into the great city of London in the hopes of finding a new beginning. When her relationship spirals, she becomes desperate to find an escape. Can the great detective Sherlock Holmes save her? *** "So, tell me about you," Sherlock says, his words interrupting the silence that has fallen between us. We both now stand together on the bank of the River Thames watching the sunrise across the horizon. It looks so beautiful as it spills like a pot of liquid gold into the clouds, eradicating the night's darkness. "I'm afraid none of my stories can compete with yours," I shrug, feeling my cheeks blush with embarrassment. "Who are you? Where did you come from? How did you get here?" He rephrases. I hesitate for a moment and turn towards the sun, allowing its warm rays to kiss my cold skin, as I debate whether I should be honest with him or not. At last, I let out a deep exhale and decide to tell him the truth. ***Complete
