Sherlock x Reader
You aren't exactly fond of Sherlock. He might be brilliant, but he's without a doubt the most rude and arrogant man you've ever had the misfortune to meet... Not to mention he lives a dangerous life. As an American only staying in London for a year, you weren't exactly planning to hang around. But when a shocking turn of events leaves you moving into 221B, you find yourself constantly in the company of the great detective and John Watson. Perhaps you will find that Sherlock isn't so bad, after all.
You never wanted to get swept up into Moriarty's game, but once you have, you realize there is no escape. Sherlock is the only thing standing between your life and your death, but Moriarty threatens at every possible turn. Everything you both know will be tested. Will the game make you... or break you?

Sherlock X Reader One Shots
#NoAI! ✊ [[UPDATED: recently]] ✨ 30+ 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 ✨ Each 'one shot' is usually over 20,000 words, so they're more like short stories. Basically, I watched the BBC version of the show, saw the rare moments where Sherlock was funny, expressive, passionate, eccentric and thought, "That's adorable and sexy, what if we could have that for the WHOLE SHOW?" And here we are. ___ I do not write in first person. There will be no 'I smile at him---' or 'He takes your hand---' here. Every story is third-person omnipresent. ___ In this book: - Join Sherlock on cases - Visit his parents in the countryside - Go on dates - Cook together - Look after some animals - Have cosy nights in - Comfort him - Have HIM comfort YOU. 🎀 Don't be afraid to make a request! I'm an AO3 veteran, so I've seen it all 😉🤣 ___ - Female reader - Set around season one, in most of these Y/N is renting the spare room in 221B after John moved out with a random girlfriend that I made up and never mention - No death, drugs, smoking, gore, blood, mental illness etc. - I'll label chapters that have intimate scenes, there will be 18+ content 🤎 No trigger warnings apply; just feel good vibes 🤎 See table of contents (first chapter) for one-shot plot summaries. NO AI GUARANTEE! I promise that I will never and have never used artificial intelligence (apart from the spelling checker that comes with Word) to write my stories. This entire book came from my human brain, and the source material (the BBC) of which it's based (also thought up by humans). Thank you for supporting human art 🩷 This story complies with Wattpad's new guidelines. All characters are consenting adults. While there are intimate scenes, they support the wider plot and are the minority.
Sherlock's Interpreter {🔆 Actively Writing 🔆}
Charlie Magnussen wasn't your ordinary, run-of-the-mill daughter of a notorious billionaire. She was special. Like her father, her memory was as acute and unfailing as the many languages she spoke. Unlike her father, however, Charlie was on the run. She was being hunted by one of the most dangerous men in the world, and only one Consulting Detective knew how to find her before her stalker did. When Sherlock accepted Mycroft's mission to retrieve the child of his arch-nemesis, he was less than enthusiastic. Anyone with the name Magnussen surely was more trouble than they were worth. But then again, he was bored, and MI6 was so interested in this Charlie person, of course, he needed to know why. But little did even the great Sherlock Holmes know his unrivaled curiosity was about to turn his world upside down. And it was all thanks to a green-eyed, sarcastic little nobody his good sense just couldn't ignore. His good sense and maybe even... his heart? ❤️ ~Sequel to Moriarty's Musician!~
