As the duo begins to play a game one evening, it leads to chaos and dramatic plot twists that shape their future. Will they allow themselves to embrace their feelings for each other or not?
This story is a work of fan fiction and does not strictly follow any events of the original series,
meaning this takes place before the 'death' of Sherlock.
Mary and John are not together here, but (wink wink) eventually get to know each other.

Do You Want To Know A Secret?
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).

Love, Lies & Death ( A Sherlock Fanfiction)
"How are you dealing with your Philophobia?" Sherlock asked, completely ignoring John, who looked more confused as ever. "You haven't forgotten about that, have you?" Minerva smiled at him. Nine years ago she had met him and already knew something was special about him. His deduction skills were something she'd never seen before and yet he still remebered her fear of falling in love. "I'm doing fine, Sherlock. How about you?" Sherlock knew what she was hinting at. He had learned that Minerva was a master at reading peoples emotions within seconds. She must have seen the love in his eyes. He recalled her saying: "A look into someones eyes, for even just a second, is enough for me to know exactly what their feeling." Knowing he would lie to her, Sherlock answered: "I'm doing well." "I'm sorry, but what the bloody hell is going on?" John inquired. A little piece from my story. This Fanfic contains Johnlock, two of my Oc's and lots of mysteries. Be prepaaaaaareeeed. *vibes to Be prepared* ByeComplete
Tricked or Tripped
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!Complete

The Science of Blood, Bombs and Brothers//BOOK ONE
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 ~DMComplete

johnlock: forgive and forget
//COMPLETED//JOHNLOCK// Sherlock is gay. John isnt gay. Or his he? What would you do for your best friend who's supposedly dead? Would you forgive him? If you forget something can you revive that memory just as easy as forgetting it? A/U no Mary, Sherlock's mind palace is a bit more... sophisticated. A few plot twists I guess and I wouldn't read this if you get triggered easily. This is your warning. If it's really triggering i will put a warning on the chapter. there is a use of offensive slurs in it so if you feel uncomfy with that don't read this. There is also some smut implications but I won't actually write any smut as like just no. People know me in this app :) Andd this is my first johnlock story or any fanfic for that matter so please don't be to mean and try to ignore any loose threads I may leave! And please comment and vote so I know you like the story! Love you all 💚Complete
