angst hints johnwatson ofc romance sherlock sherlock-holmes sherlockbbc sherlocked sherlockfanfic sherlockfanfiction sherlockholmes sherlockian

A mysterious death. A life in the balance. When do the ends justify the means?
  
  John Watson wants nothing more than to head home to 221B and have a hot cuppa, but Sherlock Holmes has other plans. The famous composer, Rebecca Frost, has died. Her elderly butler insists she was murdered. Sherlock takes on the case, only to face the additional complication of Vivian Walker - the unexpected heir to the Frost Estate. 
  
  Someone wants her dead, and it's up to Sherlock and John to protect her, whether the stubborn woman wants their help or not. But more than one danger threatens her life. Solving this mystery and keeping Vivian safe may prove their greatest challenge yet.
  
  Book One of the Hooked on a Feeling series
  
  ***
  
  This novel is AU, as it was written prior to the release of Sherlock Series 3. As a result, there is no Mary, Sherlock's parents are very different, and Moriarty isn't back. Sherlock has returned following The Reichenbach Fall, and he and John have repaired their friendship. There will be no romantic relationship between the two, only brotherly love between the best of friends. There will be bickering though. Loads of it.
  
  There will also be moments of angst, hints of a developing romance (Sherlock/OC), and of course an intriguing mystery. If that's your cuppa tea, then put your feet up and relax. You're in for a treat!
  
  You can expect a new chapter posted every Friday. Happy Reading!All Rights Reserved

𝓜𝓮 & 𝓜𝓲𝓷𝓮 ｟ BBC Sherlock ｠ by TheGameIsOn97

The world's only consulting detective, an ex-army doctor, an art therapist, and an American who loves music. These sound like four very different people, right? Definitely. Em isn't quite sure what she expects to deal with when she decides to leave her home in the US to go and live with her half-sister (Athena) all the way over in London at the address of 221C Baker Street. Being woken up from trying to sleep off her red-eye flight jet lag by all the ruckus being made by her and her sister's new 221B neighbor was not something she wanted to have to deal with right away. However, she storms up the stairs and gives Mister Sherlock Holmes a piece of her mind. How does he respond? What happens when the landlady (Mrs Hudson) suggests Sherlock look for a new flatmate in order to make paying the rent a bit easier on himself? And how does Em and Athena's dynamic with Sherlock change when Doctor John Watson walks into their lives? Something dark and eerie lurks in the shadows, watching our team of four mystery solvers take the world of crime solving by storm. Eventually, things will be revealed about one of our Baker Street Four that will make the other three see them in a whole new light. Well, might as well get started because... the game is on! ▇ ▇ ▇ Pairings: • (Sherlock Holmes x OFC) • (John Watson x OFC) Cover by Timelady2013

Tricked or Tripped by Mistress_underworld

Sherlock was not as tough as people think he was. This story was about his adventure through ups and downs with his long lost old friend. This was the other side of his successful story, as there were two sides in every story. This was his other side. Check out his exciting story from the scene that have never been told to public. This was his experience to overcome&nbsp;his eagerness when he fell in love. It must be weird for a strict person like him to be a romantic guy. Go ahead and see for yourself!

Lost Girl 🔍 (Sherlock x Reader) [EDITING] by Existentialism6

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.

The Secret of the Scarlet Clock by TheDrewlock

Part One of The Secret of the Red Thread series A Nancy Drew & Sherlock Holmes Mystery Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/21HJKLl3jabetH5aXIeK5H Nancy Drew arrives at Baker Street as Sherlock Holmes's apprentice. That's the story everyone agrees on: Watson, the press, her family, and you. It's a lie. What begins as a mystery series, a contested will, a gala heist, a haunted estate, slowly reveals its actual architecture: a study of two hyper-competent minds who have spent their lives performing diminished versions of themselves. Nancy learned to time her deductions so they wouldn't threaten the men around her. Sherlock mistook emotional amputation for intellectual clarity. When a conspiracy throws them together and strips away their armor, each discovers the other is the only person who has ever said speed up instead of slow down. But the story they're hiding becomes public ammunition. Media cycles reframe partnership as predation. Her oldest friend no longer trusts her. A blackmailer weaponizes their intimacy. And a [REDACTED] neither planned forces a woman raised to perform brilliance into the most unsolvable case of her life: choosing to exist without armor, in full view, with no guarantee the world will read her correctly. The mysteries are real. The romance is complicated. The structure is a trap. You've been warned.

Nothing But Flowers (Johnlock) by delightful_fear

John is happy with his life as a successful surgeon. Why is he feeling so attracted to Sherlock, a man who is his opposite in so many ways? Even if he gave into temptation, there's no way this can be more than a quick, hot fling, right? An AU set 30 years in the future (the guys are still 40-ish)...But this is not a dystopia. Some things are better, some things worse, many things unchanged. 17 chapters, 68K words. Lots of sexy times. *Alternative Universe* *Future Fic* *Sherlock is a Sexy Beast* *Virtual Sex*
