" 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.All Rights Reserved

Back To You by alsamuelwrites

Aidan Summers thought he had the best job any young scientist would die for; working at a state-of-the-art laboratory and doing what he loved, while getting paid handsomely too. It seems too good to be true, and he soon realises he's right, especially when Aidan learns of the restricted area he is not allowed access to. Things take a sudden turn in Aidan's life when the secret behind those locked doors is somehow connected to the unsolved case of his missing brother Gavin and even bigger secrets about his family that he had no clue about. Thrown in for good measure is the mysterious appearance of a beautiful woman with supernatural powers who claims to know him when he has never met her before. Can Aidan's life get any weirder? The answer is yes, and it's about to get a lot more dangerous too. Mature rating for some gore and violence. Book 1 in the Splintered Soul series.

The Unfinished Case// A Sherlock Story by BuckysFarm

The sound of hearts beat side by side "I don't understand?" Foot steps thudding, nowhere to hide "Don't you know what's at hand?" With nothing left, but only sin "Please" So let's stop... And let the games begin. They say there's this person. A person who can make the most dangerous armies turn around and run, a person who would be great to fight beside but fearful to fight against, whose mind is as powerful as her weapons and whose skills are said to be equivalent to the gods. This person, this girl, this crimson rose. Told to be unstoppable, unbreakable, and unsolvable. Well, unsolvable until Sherlock Holmes. "I don't know how this will end, but I do know one will rise and the other descends."

Look through my eyes by danigiron3

COMPLETED The clock is ticking. Ticktock, ticktock-it sounds so loud that it seems to compete with the sound of my heart. Everything has come to a standstill.

I knew she would die, I've known it for a while now. It's not exactly her death that has taken the wind out of me. It is not the fact that I have lost my mother after only 16 years of life. But it is what she has revealed-what she has kept inside herself until the last second of her life. Her bruised and weak fingers have not let go of my hand, not since those words left her whitish lips. "Your father- your father is-" Sophia Young arrives in a new city, entering one of the most prestigious universities. She arrives with a purpose, a list of people she needs to meet, and a target she needs to destroy. 11nov2023-19nov2023

THIS BOOK HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED AND IS UNFINISHED! QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED IN THE LAST CHAPTER SHOULD YOU STILL WISH TO READ IT. 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.

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.

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.
