"She reached up and ran her fingertips down his jaw and across his lips. They were close, very close, and she found his warm breath exciting. He smelled of tobacco and danger."  Excerpt from "Twice on the Divan"
Do you love Sherlock Holmes? Well, this collection of original fanfiction stories feature various characters from the Sherlock Holmes canon (and a couple originals).  Like the title says, it's not all about Sherlock!  
"He was eyes-wide-open, unblinking and fixed, with his mouth agape in a silent scream and his body devoid of breath and life." Excerpt from "Mrs. Hudson's Day Off."

As a fan, I really attempted to honor the style and spirit of the original tales.  You can expect occasional additions to this collection because I really enjoy the world of Sherlock Holmes and intend to keep writing!

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?

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." - Guest user on Fanfiction.net "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." - Wattpad User @jeon_park131

He was looking at Sherlock Holmes. Yet not the one he would have expected. Distinctive changeable eyes, lined by a row of long dense lashes, showed an expression of a wild animal standing in the glare of approaching headlights. Of a man driven into a corner. Simply expressed, an expression of pure horror, something you don't see on a famous consulting detective most of the time. John opened his mouth, but after a realisation that he has no idea of what he wanted to say, he closed it again. He wasn't welcomed by a mutilated, smashed face. The severed spine could be ruled out straight away, and he seemed to have all his limbs as well. He felt an endless relief when he saw solid, uninjured skin where the blood flowed the last time. Nevertheless, the scene he was offered tugged the carpet under his feet and he had to admit (if a bit grudgingly) that Mycroft was right-he did not exaggerate when warning him it might be a shock. Trigger warnings: This story contains references to violence and its description, and also deals with self-esteem issues and body image. If something triggers you, please proceed with caution or reconsider if you want to continue reading. PS: English isn't my native language and I'm a bit unsure of my style, but I hope you will like it. Enjoy the story!
