Three years after the death of the great Sherlock Holmes, both men are learning to continue along their separate paths- alone.
Still recovering from the loss of his friend, John Watson's life has become a broken record. The same things happening day in, day out. Little did he know that his old life was about to catch up to him, and he would be dragged back into a life of fear, anger and pain.
...And excitement, that too.
However, Sherlock's persistence to destroy Moriarty's name has lead him to a discovery which could put him and his friends in more danger than he thought possible.
Two men, two mysteries. Neither aware of the others trials, but both will co-inside as the truth is revealed, and the challenge really begins.
Though the ever increasing difficulties are piling up, the question is, will they be able to Keep the Strength to Fight?
...Well of course they can, I wouldn't write a book if they couldn't!
Enjoy!

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

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
