This is a book for the Christmas/December prompts for a fanfic thingy. I don't know, I saw it on Tumblr and was interested. So pretty much I was been given a prompt (word/phrase) a day and I had to write a one-shot fanfic based on each prompt. I based mine off of Johnlock so enjoy. The artwork on the cover is by @thinkanddoodle-batch on Tumblr, please go check them out if you like the art because I sure do. Here are the prompts if you'd like to participate yourself. ANY FANDOM IS WELCOME TO WRITE ABOUT ANYTHING!!! 1. Holiday decor 2. Star 3. You better watch out 4. Snowman 5. Believe 6. Fireplace 7. Memories 8. Music 9. Gift 10. Do you see what I see 11.

[Discontinued] These are oneshotes I used to write years ago, but haven't in a while as my life has moved on. It is unlikely I will ever post more of these, but you are welcome to read through the old ones. I hope anyone reading this enjoys the oneshots now as much as I enjoyed writing them.

Preferences and imagines of the BBC Sherlock Holmes characters. REQUESTS ARE OPEN!!!!! Request as much as you like!! Please request anything, you would like me to write and I'll gladly write it for you, though there are some exceptions I won't write for. Just direct message me with..... the character the scenario Or something like a topic. (I'll only do character x reader. And I won't use specific names, I'll only use Y/n) This is mainly for female readers because its easier to write, so if anyone wants one as a Male or gender neutral reader then just request it. On the 28th May 2018 i turned this into a preference and one shot book prior to a suggestion. 😊 Till then my fellow sherlockians. πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€

It wasn't my looks, my health or my social status. It was my mind. I am sick of men telling us, women, what to do. I am sick of my mother telling me to find myself a rich husband. I am sick of my Father being a member of the house of lords but I still won't be the person following him, even though I am the oldest. And why is that? Because I am a woman and that is the only reason. But I decided to defend myself. I decided to make a difference. My plan was to make women join protests against the sexism going on. To inspire them to defend themselves and I was going to achieve my goal even if it meant that I would have to leave behind everything. I only made one rule for myself to follow: don't fall in love. But when I met the Viscount Tewksbury of Basilweather, I quickly knew that I had to focus so I wouldn't break that rule. #5 in SherlockHolmes (16th January 2023) #6 in enolaholmes (4th February 2023) #3 in runningaway (4th February 2023) #5 in emmawatson (28th May 2023) #2 in Tewksbury (10th July 2023) #1 in womensrights (6th June 2024-29th July 24) #1 in Sherlockholmes (17th August 2023) #2 in runningaway (26th November 2023) (All the characters except my own belong to the owners of Enola Holmes) About 30.000 words have been used in this book

Do You Want To Know A Secret? by Dark_Nerd_
21 parts Complete
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.
