Everybody was convinced that the great Sherlock Holmes has lost touch with reality. After a major psychotic episode in Baker Street, Mycroft decided to send the detective overseas to a research center for psycho-neurological disorders, convinced that his brother is terminally insane. John and his friends refuse to believe and embarks on a clandestine investigation to uncover the truth. 

Sherlock is taken under the wing of the renowned scientist and psychiatrist River Mallory of Harvard University and California Research Center for Mental Health. Under the influence of an unknown powerful psychedelic substance, the detective finds himself in a secret facility of mazes and puzzles, strange code-breaking and mysterious tests of practical deduction. Realizing that he is being tested as a subject, he struggles to break free from the labyrinth of his own mind.

Confronting Mallory, Sherlock uncovered the scientist's involvement with military intelligence, global surveillance, and a plan to annihilate the Middle East. 

Only one thing stops Sherlock, and of all the things, the one he feared the most:

Unbelieving (A Johnlock Fanfiction) by TheSherlockedOne

Simply exhausted of all colour. Wasted. I didn't lie down. I didn't blink. I just sat there, staring into nothingness, waiting for something to materialise into my vision. Something. Anything. I had kept Sherlock away. Kept him away from his death, for so long. So long. Little did I know, all he needed was a little jump from a rooftop. It wouldn't take me long either, would it? I wasn't going to die. I needed relief. I needed disconnection. Disorientation. Oblivion. Ignorance. Because ignorance is bliss. It was in my hand, now. Like vengeance disguised in forgiveness. Breathe. Steady. Hold. Control. . . . Now. Pain shot through my arms and my palms, like my nails were being pulled out. It spread like fire, like ice cold fire, still burning like coals. My limbs were numb. I fell onto the bed, my mouth pressed into the sheet at an odd angle. I was too fatigued to change it. Too drowned to change it. Drowned too deep. To change anything. I'd never done this. Was I going to die? It'd be better if I died. What would that feel like? Flying? Better that this I suppose. Don't you think, Sherlock?

Sentiment? A Weakness by Sp00kySpoons

When Sherlock Holmes receives an urgent summons to the majestic halls of Imperial College London, he is thrust into a labyrinthine mystery that threatens to unravel the very backbone of British scientific achievement. A string of unexplained breakthroughs in biochemistry, accompanied by the peculiar malfunctioning of lab equipment and the inexplicable vanishing of crucial data, has left the university's esteemed research teetering on the brink of disaster. As tempers flare and uncertainty looms large, the shadowy figure of a possible saboteur-begins to unravel threads of an intricate plot far more insidious. Mycroft manipulates the investigation with his characteristic cunning, maneuvering from the shadows like a chess master overseeing a game of immense stakes, while the Chancellor waits on pins and needles for a resolution. Faced with challenges that test not only his remarkable intellect but also his unwavering loyalty to his family and country, Sherlock plunges deeper into the enigmatic chaos. He uncovers hidden alliances amongst the faculty, encrypted secrets that lie beneath layers of bureaucracy, and chilling truths that suggest the very research intended to propel Britain forward could, in the wrong hands, become a weapon of catastrophic potential. One miscalculated move could trigger a series of events powerful enough to send shockwaves through the global scientific community-putting Sherlock at the forefront of a battle he never anticipated. Yet the implications stretch far beyond the reputation of Imperial College; as Sherlock meticulously peels back the deceptions obscuring the truth, he uncovers a conspiracy that reaches into the heart of national security and casts a long shadow over Mycroft's precarious position within the government. With time slipping away and Sherlock is compelled to navigate this treacherous landscape with utmost precision. It is a race against an unseen adversary, where every decision could lead to his downfall

The Devil's Chord by JDSchmidtWriter

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!

Rules on the Fridge [A BBC Sherlock Holmes Fanfiction] (Completed) by SmotheredPsycho

♪ 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. ♫ ♫ ♫

Dancing with the Devil (part one) by graceestherx

Astrid Wingham was just an echo, she no longer existed. In her place stood the new and not so improved Alexa Holton. Astrid finds herself caught up in the affairs of the greatest criminal minds in the world, and despite her memorable past with crime, she happily finds herself in the middle of the great game. With her criminal father still gone missing, and the greatest criminal mind as her boss, will she stay strong in this dangerous world? Or will her separate feelings for two men cloud her judgement? (A/N I am a huge fan of the Sherlock universe and I've always wanted to write about it. This fiction is set in the same time as the BBC Sherlock series, however it also has it's own story created by yours truly. I've kept everything in cannon as much as possible, the only exceptions being alterations to scenes to include Astrid. Also a quick mention to Ariane DeVere's transcripts on live journal, you're a lifesaver! I should probably also add that the only characters that I own are my original ones, the rest belong to the genius' Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat!!!)

Dance With Me, Darling {A Sherlolly Fanfic} (Wattys 2017) by jackskellingtonrulz5

For one to uncover secrets this deep, they must shatter the evil from within. A façade was all Sherlock was living now. When he gets wind of a masquerade ball being held in Moriarty's memory, he thinks it'll be no different than what he has been doing after his infamous fall. But a one-man operation was just suicide. He had no one to turn to if he wanted to keep them safe, but...maybe a certain pathologist of his had a way around that. A/N: This is set after Reichenbach. My friend @HoneyButterYum came up with the title and description and my friend @myfirstnameisagent came up with some elements of the plot. I don't own Sherlock Holmes or Molly Hooper or anything else from BBC Sherlock. All rights go to the creators and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Chemical Disaster // Johnlock by GryffindorPancakee

"Detective Holmes, does your job ever cause you troubles that might lead to consuming drugs?" "I never have troubles with my job." Sherlock said, holding John's penetrating gaze without flinching. "Neither family issues, nor anything related with your job. Perhaps unrequited love, then?" *** Sherlock Holmes relies on many things to keep his supreme mind rational. Murder cases, for instance, provide him the adrenaline required to persist in sanity without falling into an abyss of dullness. Morphine serves as a tranquilizer for his untamable fact processing brain. Cocaine is a fine source of dopamine and fills in the hole of emptiness dug by the lack of intellectual crimes. To an outsider, he would fit labels like drug addict, sociopath, maniac, freak, but Sherlock thought he had attained a fairly satisfying equilibrium in life. But that was until he his brother stepped in, and John Watson became his therapist... And his flatmate. And a very alarming problem. ⚠️ Warning : mentions of drugs
