"Be careful when you mingle around the devil, because at the end of the day, you may end up being like him."

You know you could do it, fool the only Consulting Criminal in the world. Your foster-brother asked for your help and you whole-heartedly accepted this suicide mission - serve as a double-spy for the England government to follow James Moriarty.

You succeeded in your mission, you were the ONLY one who had fooled the late Napoleon of Crime. You actually did more than that, but it seems like you didn't have to worry because the whole problem is eliminated now...or so you thought.

'Did you miss me?! Did you miss me?!' The video of him spoke to you, you know it's meant for you...and surely, he's going for you and he's making war.

And now, he's not the only one...a more threatening person wants to play with you. She sees you as a 'thief' and nothing but a 'replacement'. And truth be told? 
.
.
She wants you DEAD more than the man you just fooled.

[CONTAINS SMUT!] ❗️18+❗️ ~~~ Being the youngest Holmes was always quite the journey, especially when you didn't want to show off your talents, maybe even lack of such. Compared to your brothers you were always the 'dumb' one. The teachers saw it, your parents knew it and your brothers never stopped yapping about it! You could hardly deduce like Sherlock and Mycroft but you didn't mind, that was until you weren't able to deduce Moriarty's true intentions with you. ~~~ All characters belong to Arthur Conan Doyle for original source material and BBC for portrayals! (Sebastian Moran's portrayal is a fan face claim of Michael Fassbender)

30 parts Complete Mature
A BBC SHERLOCK FANFICTION Sherlock never talks about his family, so of course he never talks about her. After nearly a decade away from her brothers, Thea 'Teddy' Holmes returns to her home country. As she attempts to forge a relationship with her brothers once more she comes to realize that she is not the only one wishing to make a connection with them. An enemy in the shadows calls Sherlock's name, wanting to play a game, and Teddy is not exempt from this. The mysterious Moriarty has caught Teddy in his web and she is forced to play her part in The Great Game. As the days go by and the danger grows, however, Teddy begins to wonder if coming home was the right thing to do. Some things should just be left in the dark where they belong. Story Warnings: Violence, mild offensive language, and brief mentions of sex. A/N: I wrote this years ago when I was 13/14. I'm 18 now and I can safely say that my writing has improved dramatically since I wrote this. As the series progresses you will probably notice this. However, I'm too busy to come back and edit this, so I hope you can forgive 14 year old me for her writing. She really did try, and maybe one day I'll come back and fix things up. Other than that, I do hope you'll enjoy Teddy's story and The Deduction Series overall <3 xoxo ~DM

~book the first~ Hello, reader. My name is Sage. I'm the ex-ward of Mycroft Holmes, currently living with his brother, Sherlock Holmes. I was recently inspired to take account of my adventures the past few years, just in case it's ever needed and because I wanted to. So, enjoy this epic tale of crime, drama, murder, and sarcasm. P.S. Whatever you do with this document, BE CAREFUL. It contains a great deal of insider information and blackmail material. If this were to fall into the hands of Moriarty, I'm afraid we'd be in deep trouble, so it's up to you to keep it safe. /please note: this is a FANFICTION. So a lot of it is FICTION, and doesn't follow the original BBC storyline fact for fact. So please, no comments about how "it happened this way in the show". Thanks./

(Jim Moriarty x reader) [COMPLETED] - "...Jim," she gasped. He stared at her intensely, hands in his pockets. His hair was messy, and dark circles hung from his eyes. He had on a suit and a loosened tie. "Hi," he said. She frowned, still slightly shook by his sudden presence. "What are you doing here?" He grinned and walked forward. "I wanted to see you. I missed you." She looked at him, confused, and shook her head. She shrugged her shoulders. "That doesn't explain to me what you're doing here. If fact, you can't be here. You-you need to leave-" Jim walked forward again. "Didn't you miss me?" ... Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Sherlock Holmes universe characters, only the original ones.

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.

21 parts Complete
{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!}
