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

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 When 23-year-old detective Nancy Drew arrives at 221B Baker Street for an intensive mentorship with the legendary Sherlock Holmes, she expects to learn advanced investigative techniques. What she doesn't expect is to be immediately plunged into a case involving antique clockwork, hidden wills, and a philanthropist's suspicious death. Set in modern-day London, this reimagining brings together two of fiction's most beloved detectives in a thrilling mystery that spans secret passages, elaborate mechanical puzzles, and a race against time to expose a killer. As Nancy's intuitive methods clash with Sherlock's cold logic, and Dr. Watson tries to keep the peace, the trio must decode a dead man's ingenious clues before a family's legacy is lost forever. But beneath the case lies something more dangerous-a mysterious adversary watching their every move, sending cryptic messages that suggest this investigation is part of a larger, more personal game. With red ribbons and silver butterflies as their only clues to a deeper connection, Nancy and Sherlock must navigate not only the mystery at hand but the growing tension between logic and intuition, between what can be deduced and what can only be felt. Featuring modern technology, classic detective work, witty banter, and the electric chemistry of two brilliant minds learning to work as one, The Secret of the Scarlet Clock asks: What happens when the world's most famous consulting detective meets his match in a ginger-haired American who solves mysteries with her heart as much as her head? A story of murder, clockwork, and the invisible threads that bind us to our destiny.

Part Two of the The Secret of the Red Thread series A Nancy Drew & Sherlock Holmes mystery When a terrified heiress arrives at 221B claiming her dead great-aunt is haunting her Victorian mansion, Nancy Drew and Sherlock Holmes uncover a web of family secrets spanning generations. Emma Whitmore's ghostly visitations trace back to wartime Burma, hidden fortunes, and a mechanical puzzle that can only be solved when four become one. As they navigate secret passages and decode cryptic clues left by a brilliant woman who saw her death coming, a more insidious threat emerges. An unknown blackmailer has been weaponizing innocent moments into potential scandals, sending mysterious packages and threatening messages that strike at the heart of their partnership. Between haunted mansions and hidden keys, vintage Cobras and viral playlists, Nancy and Sherlock must balance their growing connection against the danger of exposure. Dr. Watson finds himself caught between loyalty and truth, while London's digital sphere notices that Nancy Drew's latest Spotify playlist seems suspiciously specific. Featuring mechanical mysteries that respond to human hearts, descendants wrestling with their grandfathers' legacy, and enough automotive philosophy to terrorize Baker Street, this second installment asks: What happens when the past refuses to stay buried, and the present is being documented by someone who knows exactly which pressure points to push? A modern mystery where Victorian secrets meet internet speculation, old friendships transcend death, and two brilliant detectives discover that some puzzles can't be solved with logic alone.

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

Sherlock's Second Vow [FINISHED] by ohnoimasimp

TRIGGER WARNINGS: surgery, depression, drug use John and Sherlock start to drift away from each other as Rosie grows older and John grows more protective. After one too many incidents, Sherlock ends up in the hospital and John makes him swear to leave Rosie alone, thinking that she gets her deductive skills from him. He struggles to rebuild his relationship with his daughter and discovers how much Sherlock means to her. Meanwhile, Sherlock is alone on the streets again and realizing just how deep his love for them ran. This is intended to be a novel-length work. John-Sherlock interactions will be platonic or emotionally intimate, as both Sherlock and I are asexual and I don't wanna write that kind of thing. I'm co-writing with my best friend!
