Sherlock and John get pulled into a mystery by Mycroft and Lestrade, it includes a few homicides and there seems to be a new criminal behind it all. Will Sherlock and John be able to catch the killer, help a heartbroken American spy hired by the British government, save thousands of lives, show up at the Holmes' Christmas dinner with all limbs intact, all while suppressing their feelings for one another? Or will one of them crack under the pressure and reveal it all?
This is my first fan fiction that I have ever wrote, but it is not my first story so I have a bit of experience. I would love it if you told me how it is and if you have any tips to give me. I normally only write suspense stories so this is new to me having romance, comedy, action, suspense, and mystery. Also sorry if it sounds too American, I can't help it. But I will be editing every once in a while and if your comment ends up getting read(very rare) I might make some edits on that subject if enough people say the same thing or something similar. Also If you have made it this far, to at least considering to read the story, Thank You, it means a lot. Most people that I know will just skim over the main details then say it's good or bad without really reading the story. Thank you.

The American Fire that Melted the Ice Man (Mycroft Holmes x OC - BBC Sherlock)
What could bring together an American working for Scotland Yard and a man in a 'minor position' in the British government? What might melt the Ice Man, and what could strike fear into the heart of he who has faced down terrorists and negotiated with countless governments? Perhaps, in the end, caring -does- have its advantages. *This is lots of fluff, add in some sass, and a dash of intrigue and adventure. **I'm an American, and I apologize in advance if I get some British bits and pieces wrong. Also, this is fan fiction, so except a dash of OOC and AU because that's what makes fanfic fun. :) ***My original characters and the plot are mine, The Holmes brothers and their family and friends sadly don't belong to me.

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

Drowning
First of all the cover of this fanfic was done by arkarti on tumblr, you should definitely go and look at her work (it is truly the best I have ever seen), you can also find her on Twitter @arkartiart and on YouTube under arkarti, but anyway go and check out her work. This is a johnlock fanfic Sherlock gets in trouble with some criminals, will John get there in time. This happens before Sherlock jumps. This is my first fanfic (wich means it's going to suck), so please if anyone can be bothered to read this pitiful example of a fanfic give me feed back, and don't be nice I want to improve, I know, I know being critical is not very nice but I want to improve. The characters do not belong to me, but come how could I resist. I hope you enjoyComplete

Haunted by the Past || Johnlock ✔
He was looking at Sherlock Holmes. Yet not the one he would have expected. Distinctive changeable eyes, lined by a row of long dense lashes, showed an expression of a wild animal standing in the glare of approaching headlights. Of a man driven into a corner. Simply expressed, an expression of pure horror, something you don't see on a famous consulting detective most of the time. John opened his mouth, but after a realisation that he has no idea of what he wanted to say, he closed it again. He wasn't welcomed by a mutilated, smashed face. The severed spine could be ruled out straight away, and he seemed to have all his limbs as well. He felt an endless relief when he saw solid, uninjured skin where the blood flowed the last time. Nevertheless, the scene he was offered tugged the carpet under his feet and he had to admit (if a bit grudgingly) that Mycroft was right-he did not exaggerate when warning him it might be a shock. Trigger warnings: This story contains references to violence and its description, and also deals with self-esteem issues and body image. If something triggers you, please proceed with caution or reconsider if you want to continue reading. PS: English isn't my native language and I'm a bit unsure of my style, but I hope you will like it. Enjoy the story!Complete
A Universe of Possibilities - Teenlock/Johnlock/Mystrade
John Watson just wanted to run away from his abusive home life. He did not intend to get caught by the police, and ultimately be sent to a school for troubled teenagers. He had no idea that he would meet someone there who would change his life forever. Sherlock Holmes just wanted to cure his boredom, and Mycroft Holmes just wanted to protect his brother. Neither of them imagined they'd get caught up in a drug bust, earning them both a spot at Baskerville's School for Troubled Teens. And neither of them expected to meet anyone they actually liked at this school. Nobody expected to fall in love. Nobody expected to be wanted for murder. Life is full of surprises. *Includes johnlock, mystrade, an exciting plot, and lots of Sherlock-Mycroft sibling rivalry*Complete
