I'm almost sixteen now. You'd think after almost ten years, I'd have gotten over it enough to sleep through the night. You'd think I'd have given up on Da changing at all. You'd think a lot of things, and yet it was all the same. The famous Sherlock Holmes, nothing but an angry, insufferable, and closed off man in a big house, with a husband he didn't deserve and a daughter he practically refused to believe existed. How utterly boring.
____
Emmalynn Watson-Holmes is sixteen and well on her way to following in her Fathers' footsteps. After a break-in that changed her life at six years old left her scarred both physically and mentally, Emmalynn is taking her life- and risking her life day by day to be someone even the great and closed off Sherlock Holmes could be proud of. Full of mystery, danger, heartache, and romance, poison and puzzles is a new, modern, queer take on the continued adventures of Sherlock Holmes. This story follows the point of views of Emmalynn, Sherlock, and John as they navigate their way through their latest - and perhaps most dangerous case.

Lost Girl 🔍 (Sherlock x Reader) [EDITING]
You and John Watson were old flames back in your high school year. Thankfully, when you broke up, you still remained friends. That was, until the year of the war came around. While John went to war, you began to tend to your dying sister, who you knew only had a few more years. John and you kept in touch, but the letters started to get more and more infrequent as the war began to get more and more brutal. After your sister died, you moved to London, hoping for a fresh start and to eliminate any memories of your her. The next thing you know, three people get murdered right before your eyes, and guess who shows up to inspect? John Watson. And his friend, Sherlock Holmes. You took a liking to Sherlock, despite his arrogance and sociopathic tendencies, and you slowly begin to see his feelings that he hides underneath his shell. When he sees how clever you are, Sherlock also takes a liking to you, but tries his hardest to hide it. He knows that sentiment is a chemical defect found on the losing side. Now you, Sherlock and John Watson are solving cases together, but what happens when the person you fear most shows up and starts to torment John and Sherlock.Complete

Pretty much what it says on the tin. There will be happy, cute, fluffy oneshots, but others will be sad and angsty. My writing is trash, but it's high quality trash. Harry and Glyn (from school) - you have read this before, please do not read it again or I will have the incentive to hurt you Please don't steal my ideas (unless I'm using a prompt) without giving credit and/or asking first :) I do not and will not write smut.

The Detective's Bloom
In the heart of London, Rose Victoria, a young woman with a sharp intellect and a hidden vulnerability, crosses paths with the brilliant, yet emotionally distant, Sherlock Holmes. Though she's always relied on her own brilliance to navigate life's challenges, something about Sherlock's mysterious presence calls to her. Their connection begins as a collaboration on complex cases, but soon, the quiet moments and unspoken glances hint at something deeper-something neither of them is ready to confront. Rose's life is far from perfect. Beneath her sharp mind lies the burden of a troubled past, and a heart that she's been desperately trying to protect. But as she grows closer to Sherlock, her emotions are thrown into turmoil. She begins to realize that her feelings for him are far stronger than she ever intended, but revealing them could shatter everything she's worked so hard to keep hidden. While Sherlock's focus remains fixed on his cases, his aloof demeanor begins to crack as he grows increasingly aware of Rose's presence in his life. With her unparalleled intellect and her calming influence, she becomes more than just an ally-she becomes someone he finds himself protecting in ways he doesn't fully understand. In a world of complex deductions and life-or-death cases, *The Detective's Bloom* explores the delicate balance between intellect and emotion, between logic and love. As the danger around them intensifies, Sherlock realizes that saving those he loves-including Rose-might require more than just solving mysteries-it may demand sacrifices of the heart that he never saw coming. In a world of logic and deduction, can Sherlock Holmes, the master detective, protect the one person who has unexpectedly captured his heart, or will their blooming connection be torn apart by the very danger he's trying to stop?![Partners In Crime: Watch Them Break [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/148714798-256-k576675.jpg)
