All is Fair in Love and War
A Sherlock fanfiction. Moriarty is back, and everyone knows it. A tragedy strikes the Watson household. Dozens of little crimes pop up all over London. A Minister of Parliament vanishes. What does it all mean? And meanwhile, England's favorite flatmates are forced to re-evaluate the extent of their live-in relationship. This is my first Sherlock fanfic, so please do give me as much constructive criticism as humanely possible. Likewise, it's slash (imagine that). If John and Sherlock being in a relationship is a problem for you, you may not want to read this. On that note, I should likewise add that I intend this to be the darkest story I have written to date. Expect character death, torture, violence, sexual content, and etcetera. Enjoy.Complete

Sherlock X Reader One Shots || 𝐹𝐿𝑈𝐹𝐹 + 𝑆𝑀𝑈𝑇
No AI! ✊ [[UPDATED: recently]] ✨ 30+ 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 ✨ Some fluff 💕, some smut 🔞, each 'one shot' is usually over 20,000 words, so they're more like short stories. Basically, I watched the BBC version of the show, saw the rare moments where Sherlock was funny, expressive, passionate, eccentric and thought, "That's adorable and sexy, what if we could have that for the WHOLE SHOW?" And here we are. ___ I do not write in first person because I find it cringy! There will be no 'I smile at him---' or 'He takes your hand---' here. Every story is third person omnipresent. ___ In this book: - Join Sherlock on cases - Visit his parents in the countryside - Go on dates - Cook together - Look after some animals - Comfort him - Have HIM comfort YOU - Enjoy some dominant Sherl - And some sub Sherl - A bit of both - 🎀 Don't be afraid to make a request! I'm an AO3 veteran, so I've seen it all 😉🤣 ___ - Female reader - Set around season one, in most of these Y/N is renting the spare room in 221B after John moved out with a random girlfriend that I made up and never mention - No death, drugs, smoking, gore, blood, mental illness etc. - I'll label chapters that are properly explicit 🤎 No trigger warnings apply; just feel good vibes 🤎 See table of contents (first chapter) for one-shot plot summaries. NO AI GUARANTEE! I promise that I will never and have never used artificial intelligence (apart from the spelling checker that comes with Word) to write my stories. This entire book came from my human brain, and the source material (the BBC) of which it's based (also thought up by humans). Thank you for supporting human art 🩷
