John and Sherlock are continuing their crime solving life but the return of Moriarty looms over them and when a case doesn't add up and their loved ones are threatened it is up to Sherlock to solve the case. This was my version of events for the fourth series with some extra features. I hope you enjoy it and i don't have an updating schedule but I am going to try and be fairly regular. DISCLAIMER: Sadly I do not own Sherlock Holmes or any other characters which are familiar to you. TRIGGERS & WARNINGS: There is blood and some gore. Minor drug use. Please be careful while reading and if you do not like this sort of thing please do not read it.

Young Sherlock | School of Deduction (Book One) by LuceCanon

- COMPLETED - (To be edited.) Sherlock Holmes is far from your ordinary human being, and now he's moved to London he's realised that either he is exceptionally intelligent or that everybody else is exceptionally stupid. Maybe even both. But when he starts college, he meets Sophie Marie Thompson - someone like him. The unusual pair quickly become good friends - but someone doesn't seem too happy with the arrangement. As people start disappearing all around them, it's up to them to solve the case because if they don't - they're next. #442 in Mystery/Thriller, 6th Feb 2016! Note: My story comes under more than one Wattpad category but I think that Mystery/Thriller is a better way to summarise the plot rather than just placing this work under the broad arm of Fanfiction. This is why I would like this work classed as a Mystery/ Thriller. Sorry if you think this is in the wrong category.

𝓜𝓮 & 𝓜𝓲𝓷𝓮 ｟ BBC Sherlock ｠ by TheGameIsOn97

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 Timelady2013

The Sociopath: A BBC Sherlock Fanfic by sokkakindawrites97

{SUMMARY: EDITED} Follow the exciting life of the consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes as him and his flatmate, John Watson, try to catch James Moriarty, a consulting criminal who is only known to them as the "Invisible Man". However, it isn't long until both find out his true name, and the detective himself finds out his true identity. Things get turned for the worse when Sherlock comes up with what he believes a clever plan, a plan that he keeps secret, in order to beat the consulting criminal at his own game. But it could be that Moriarty has messed with the sociopath's mind. . . Which means he may be going mad. But despite all of this, and keeping this secret away from John, Mr Holmes is a restless man, and he will not stop at nothing until he has caught---and stopped--- the enemy(Dr.Watson, however, is less determined). With an IQ above average and being a highly-functioning sociopath at best, and a detective partner who happens to be a doctor at his side, Sherlock is on a wild hunt in which the scent gets nearer. . . . But the trail is getting fainter every time he is one step closer. The game is on. . . {FANFIC WRITER'S NOTE: The reason why I edited the summary was because I realized I turned it into something totally different than how I planned it. Fortunately, it has turned out better, haha. And so, in this Sherlock fanfic, rather than focusing on the detective solving cases, it's focused on his confrontation with James Moriarty and how he tries to defeat him. Some things are like in the TV Show, but I'm going to make things different or add stuff. I hope you've enjoyed it so far!}
