In the shadowed corners of the 1900's, where secrets rot beneath polished society, Detective Ron Doyle along with his friend Archie Walter solve crimes as England's detective duo.
But when a cryptic letter arrives-inked with familiarity and menace-he and his trusted partner are summoned to the ominous Blackwood Manor. What begins as a reluctant visit quickly turns into a deadly game.
Trapped within the manor's walls are a group of guests, each hiding something... and one of them is a killer.
A chilling announcement shatters the uneasy silence: one guest will die each day until Detective Doyle uncovers the murderer's identity.
As paranoia spreads and bodies begin to fall, Ron must race against time, untangling lies, old grudges, and a past that refuses to stay buried. But amidst the terror, an unexpected connection forms-one that threatens to distract him from the truth... or become his only reason to survive.
In a house where no one can be trusted and every second counts, can Ron Doyle solve the mystery before death claims them all?
Or will Blackwood Manor become his final case?
Characters are loosely based on the famous characters Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. Enjoy!

The Sociopath: A BBC Sherlock Fanfic
{SUMMARY: EDITED} Follow the exciting life of the consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes as him and his flatmate, John Watson, try to catch James Moriarty, a consulting criminal who is only known to them as the "Invisible Man". However, it isn't long until both find out his true name, and the detective himself finds out his true identity. Things get turned for the worse when Sherlock comes up with what he believes a clever plan, a plan that he keeps secret, in order to beat the consulting criminal at his own game. But it could be that Moriarty has messed with the sociopath's mind. . . Which means he may be going mad. But despite all of this, and keeping this secret away from John, Mr Holmes is a restless man, and he will not stop at nothing until he has caught---and stopped--- the enemy(Dr.Watson, however, is less determined). With an IQ above average and being a highly-functioning sociopath at best, and a detective partner who happens to be a doctor at his side, Sherlock is on a wild hunt in which the scent gets nearer. . . . But the trail is getting fainter every time he is one step closer. The game is on. . . {FANFIC WRITER'S NOTE: The reason why I edited the summary was because I realized I turned it into something totally different than how I planned it. Fortunately, it has turned out better, haha. And so, in this Sherlock fanfic, rather than focusing on the detective solving cases, it's focused on his confrontation with James Moriarty and how he tries to defeat him. Some things are like in the TV Show, but I'm going to make things different or add stuff. I hope you've enjoyed it so far!}Complete

No words needed [L x Reader] • Death Note
L Lawliet, worlds greatest detective and possibly the smartest person alive... can't talk. Well, he can, but only to those he's deeply connected with. Partially mute, he hides behind his screen and solves crimes anonymously. Speaking to taskforces with text to speech, and no face shown. Until he's pushed into a corner with a particularly tricky case, and ends up having to make his first face to face interaction. (y/n) shows up to the hotel room of the worlds greatest detective, thinking they'd see a well polished, wise old man. Instead they're met with a tired, young and rather huggable looking guy with eyebags holding a torn notebook page saying "I am L, and I can't talk" -- GNC READER. Basically all language for the reader is gender neutral, anyone can read! Non binary mfs rejoice. When the eventual lemon hits it'll be kinda alluded to an AFAB body (bc marketing to my main audience yo), but all pronouns are they/them and there's no descriptions of tiddies or anything.
