After escaping her abusive father, Gwendolyn Brook arrives to London, suitcase in hand, and prepared to face the world head-on. Unfortunately for her, her dreams are crushed when she finds her boss murdered in the middle of the National Art Gallery. Destroyed and without a job, she decides to help her new landlady, a self-called "crime aficionado" and "amateur detective," solve the mystery in exchange for rent.
Or a 19th Century Cozy Mystery based on an au I had for Sherlock.

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). Cover Art by ShootBadCabbies on Tumblr! Also, kudos to anyone who understands the title and chapter name references. Comment if you have an idea.Complete
Your Life Is Not Your Own
Lara Westwood, a young adult, follows her abusive boyfriend into the great city of London in the hopes of finding a new beginning. When her relationship spirals, she becomes desperate to find an escape. Can the great detective Sherlock Holmes save her? *** "So, tell me about you," Sherlock says, his words interrupting the silence that has fallen between us. We both now stand together on the bank of the River Thames watching the sunrise across the horizon. It looks so beautiful as it spills like a pot of liquid gold into the clouds, eradicating the night's darkness. "I'm afraid none of my stories can compete with yours," I shrug, feeling my cheeks blush with embarrassment. "Who are you? Where did you come from? How did you get here?" He rephrases. I hesitate for a moment and turn towards the sun, allowing its warm rays to kiss my cold skin, as I debate whether I should be honest with him or not. At last, I let out a deep exhale and decide to tell him the truth. ***Complete

Time casts its spell on you || Agthario
"He might live without you here, I know if you stay he won't and I need him Rio, I need him like he's a part of me," she tried to explain. There was a bit of both of them in Nicky but where Rio had given death, Agatha had given life. To loose Nicky would be to loose a bit of her life and what she lost Rio would gain in Death. It was a bargain in which Agatha had more to loose. ~ ~ Inspired by the Agatha All Along Marvel tv series, Here to give an in-depth sapphic backstory into how Rio and Agatha met, how Agatha got her powers and their relationship that led up to the events of the show.
