"Don't you fear me" he asked with his eyes filled with crazed madness 
" I only fear boredom" Aiden replied
Aiden's life was a series of predictable routines-until a mysterious invitation leads him into the heart of an enigmatic gallery where the art is not only alive but lethal. Drawn into a labyrinth of nightmarish paintings, Aiden, along with his unexpected companions Eliza and Jonathan, must navigate a twisted world where each brushstroke holds a dark secret and every frame a deadly challenge.

As they delve deeper, the trio encounters grotesque creatures, cryptic clues, and landscapes that defy reality, all while racing against time to decipher the clues that might lead them to safety. With each new world they uncover pieces of a larger, more sinister puzzle-one that binds them to the Gallery of Shadows and threatens to consume them.

 clockwork is a gripping tale of suspense and supernatural intrigue, blending the deductive prowess of Sherlock Holmes with a chilling journey through the surreal. As Aiden and his allies confront the horrors that lurk within the canvases, they must rely on their wits, courage, and each other to escape a gallery where the art is not just displayed as it ensnares.

26 parts Complete Mature
Cover art done by the amazing @EllieRose011!!! *** "Will, thank the Angel you are awake," Jem sighed, going to his bedside. "How are you feeling?" Will stared at him, the fear of God etched all over his face. "I-I don't know you," he stammered in a very un-Will-like way. "Who are you? Who-Who am I?" *** One night, Will goes missing and does not return. Sick with worry, Jem and Tessa desperately try to find him, searching anywhere and everywhere for information but to no avail. Then one month later, by utter chance, they find him, bloody and beaten, in Hyde park. Both Jem and Tessa are relieved that they found him but a new sinister twist is revealed. Will has lost his memory. He was no recollection of his life at all. He doesn't recognise Charlotte or Henry or Jessamine or the Lightwood brothers.

But with Mortmain closing in and a new enemy to face, will it be too late to reach him?

30 parts Complete
A mysterious death. A life in the balance. When do the ends justify the means? John Watson wants nothing more than to head home to 221B and have a hot cuppa, but Sherlock Holmes has other plans. The famous composer, Rebecca Frost, has died. Her elderly butler insists she was murdered. Sherlock takes on the case, only to face the additional complication of Vivian Walker - the unexpected heir to the Frost Estate. Someone wants her dead, and it's up to Sherlock and John to protect her, whether the stubborn woman wants their help or not. But more than one danger threatens her life. Solving this mystery and keeping Vivian safe may prove their greatest challenge yet. Book One of the Hooked on a Feeling series *** This novel is AU, as it was written prior to the release of Sherlock Series 3. As a result, there is no Mary, Sherlock's parents are very different, and Moriarty isn't back. Sherlock has returned following The Reichenbach Fall, and he and John have repaired their friendship. There will be no romantic relationship between the two, only brotherly love between the best of friends. There will be bickering though. Loads of it. There will also be moments of angst, hints of a developing romance (Sherlock/OC), and of course an intriguing mystery. If that's your cuppa tea, then put your feet up and relax. You're in for a treat! You can expect a new chapter posted every Friday. Happy Reading!

"Jealousy and greed were a twin-headed snake that had not even shown her face, and yet Sherlock could already feel her coiling around his throat and flexing her fangs oh so dangerously close to his jugular. She was a looming phantom; a sickening nectar that always managed to find its way into his veins; a vision of what the future held." Sherlock Holmes can only be described as a deluge of curiosities, despite being a man of his work (and only his work). Intrigued, Julia Ruth Fuller writes to him as often as possible from her drab home in Glasgow, living with her parents as a recently unemployed waitress, trying to make end's-meet. Upon hearing that her aunt, Martha Hudson, is sudden ill, she manages to scrounge up enough money and finds herself flying to London to be at her side. Before she knows it, Julia has to make sacrifices and face her fears, all in order to bring a stop to London's black market organ trade.

THANK YOU. -=+=- Sometimes, Clockwork would look back and wonder what would have happened. What would've happened if she hadn't gotten jumped by a giant black dog in the middle of a mysterious forest, what would've happened if she hadn't been rescued by two men in masks, what would've happened if she'd never bothered to stay in the secret mansion in the woods, if she'd never fallen in love with the odd personalities that hid behind its dark windows. What would've happened? She'd never know. But one thing was certain: it was too late to back out now. -=+=- A ticciwork and creepypasta fanfiction.

A Study in Chaos by archivistofchaos
31 parts Complete
221B Baker Street was not supposed to be my final destination. It was a pit stop. A temporary, financially questionable decision in one of the most expensive cities in the world. A place to exist quietly. To keep my head down, drink overpriced coffee, and avoid unpacking my emotional baggage. Then I met Sherlock Holmes. And quiet ceased to exist. One minute, I was just a tenant in a slightly dysfunctional flat. The next, I was the unwilling documentarian of absolute madness- ✔ Sherlock, the world's only consulting detective, who refuses to function like a normal human being. ✔ John Watson, who has reached new heights of exhaustion thanks to said detective. ✔ Mrs. Hudson, who is not a housekeeper but absolutely runs this place like a benevolent overlord. ✔ Molly Hooper, the forensic pathologist who is finally terrifying Sherlock (to my endless delight). ✔ Mycroft Holmes, who controls the British government but, more importantly, cannot figure out why I exist. ✔ Lestrade, who shows up mostly to suffer. ✔ And Rosie Watson, who is officially my tiny, all-knowing best friend. I am not a detective. I am not a hero. I am just the one thing Sherlock Holmes cannot deduce. My name is Safa. I babysit Rosie for extra cash, I document Baker Street's chaos out of sheer pettiness, and I gloat about my food just to drive Sherlock insane. I tell myself I don't belong here. That I am still just passing through. But the thing about living at Baker Street? You don't realize you're home until it's time to leave. And for once, Sherlock Holmes never saw it coming.
