Central London, Baker Street.
Y/n Baxter's life so far could be described as tumultuous.
From her top job at Scotland Yard to her history lurking around every corner, and each of the unbelievable cases she takes on along with her two neighours.
The enigmatic detective in 221B won't make it any easier.
Deadly cases? Easy
Mass murderers? No sweat
Moriarty? So what?
Could sentiments be more dangerous than any of the trio's adventures?
Are sentiments always really found on the losing side?

I don't own any of the characters except for Y/n, they belong to the works of Arthur Conan Doyle. However some of the plot and certain characters are created by me and belong to me.

It Started With Stealing | Sherlock Holmes
Elizabeth Parrish is a thief but not just any thief - She is Moriarty's personal thief. She made a deal with a devil and she enjoyed it: the thrill, the challenge, the money. Every job he gave her left her on a high that she couldn't get enough of. She's never been caught before either. But when a job goes wrong, Elizabeth is left with a choice: Help Sherlock & John hunt down Moriarty and potentially get a clean slate afterwards or be locked away in prison for the rest of her life for attempting to steal top-secret government files. Which will she choose? And will her choice help her win or lose the game? DISCLAIMER: I do not own BBC Sherlock or any characters/plotlines related to/used in the show. What I do own is Elizabeth Parrish, her story and her associates. Also some crimes (not that I committed them myself lmao). Also, the picture on the cover isn't mine so credits to whoever made that picture - I merely put a title on it. :) Started: Feb 2019 Finished: May 2021 #1 in The Reichenbach Fall - 10/06/2020 #1 in The Great Game - 20/06/2020 #3 in Sherlock Holmes - 27/06/2020 #1 in Benedict Cumberbatch 06/07/2020 ❤❤❤ #1 in Irene Adler - 16/07/2020 #1 in Sherlock BBC - 31/07/2020 #1 in Sebastian Moran - 03/08/2020 #1 in Moriarty - 15/08/2020 #1 in Greg Lestrade - 02/09/2020 #1 in Mrs Hudson - 28/10/2020 #1 in Baker Street - 01/11/2020 #1 in Sherlock Love Story - 01/12/2020 ❤❤❤ #1 in Lestrade - 01/12/2020 #1 in 221B - 16/12/2020 #1 in BBC Sherlock - 31/01/2021 #1 in Detective - 19/03/2021 😲 #1 in John Watson - 10/05/2021 #2 in Jim Moriarty - 12/12/2021 #1 in OC Story - 20/12/2021 #1 in Thief - 04/05/2023Complete
𝓜𝓮 & 𝓜𝓲𝓷𝓮 ｟ BBC Sherlock ｠
The world's only consulting detective, an ex-army doctor, an art therapist, and an American who loves music. These sound like four very different people, right? Definitely. Em isn't quite sure what she expects to deal with when she decides to leave her home in the US to go and live with her half-sister (Athena) all the way over in London at the address of 221C Baker Street. Being woken up from trying to sleep off her red-eye flight jet lag by all the ruckus being made by her and her sister's new 221B neighbor was not something she wanted to have to deal with right away. However, she storms up the stairs and gives Mister Sherlock Holmes a piece of her mind. How does he respond? What happens when the landlady (Mrs Hudson) suggests Sherlock look for a new flatmate in order to make paying the rent a bit easier on himself? And how does Em and Athena's dynamic with Sherlock change when Doctor John Watson walks into their lives? Something dark and eerie lurks in the shadows, watching our team of four mystery solvers take the world of crime solving by storm. Eventually, things will be revealed about one of our Baker Street Four that will make the other three see them in a whole new light. Well, might as well get started because... the game is on! ▇ ▇ ▇ Pairings: • (Sherlock Holmes x OFC) • (John Watson x OFC) Cover by Timelady2013Complete

The original stories belong to Arthur Conan Doyle.

Hunter (Sherlock Fanfiction)
#1 in ynstories (17/07/2022) You are the best assassin in history, the most ruthless, the most efficient of them all. The day you were sent to kill Sherlock Holmes, was the day your life changed. The moment he told you the truth, your whole life changed. What happens when, instead of assassinating the world's best consulting detective, you join him in taking down the organisation who employed you? The organisation that has kept the truth about your whole life a secret? How deep does the rabbit hole go? I've rewritten some of the plot in order for this story to make sense, the start of the story is set in the time inbetween S2E2-E3. Majority of the plot will stay the same. I do not own any of the BBC sherlock characters. I have created OCs (I don't own you obviously but I made the personality for this story). !!SHERLOCKXFEM READER!! !!MENTION OF DRUGS!! !!Trigger warnings: some sensitive topics may be discussed!! !!Maybe smut!! Also it's written in first person view, I find that easier in the moment but in the future if I write other books or a sequel I'll probably try second person or third person This is my first story lol so we'll see where this goes, most characters in the show will be appearing, Sherlock and John being those you spend the most time with but yeah if you like it please share with others :)Complete

Rules on the Fridge [A BBC Sherlock Holmes Fanfiction] (Completed)
♪ First Names are for Lovers ♪ Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, living in a dated, shared flat with bullet holes in the wall, a skull on the mantle, and an absolutely catastrophic kitchen. It wasn't hard to get along, usually. John could handle Sherlock's bluntness and absolute disregard - or lack of knowledge - for people's feelings or sentiment. And Sherlock could handle John's questions about everything he said. John Watson: An army doctor, stationed in Afghanistan, shot in the leg, put out of commission. Psychosomatic limp; magically gone when he went on a case with Sherlock. Sherlock Holmes: High-functioning sociopath, and the only Consulting Detective in the world. He could read people, he could see crimes in the crime-scene; he could win. ♫ ♫ ♫ Sherlock Holmes went off the rails. He did an experiment that got him hospitalized after John found him on the scene. Lines were crossed. Rules were made. Everything was on the line - concentration on cases slowly dwindled, priorities were mixed, and absolutely everything was spinning. ♫ ♫ ♫ Good habits, bad habits, and everything in between. You have good habits, sure, and they have to be balanced out with bad habits. For most people, that's taking your vitamins every day crossed with cracking your knuckles. For Sherlock Holmes that was catching criminals and putting his life at serious risk every time. ♫ ♫ ♫Complete
