Stories in which John Watson displays his awesome, butt-kicking skills. Also includes just John generally being cool. Minimal slash. May not be completely John-centric; crossovers included. Because John just doesn't get enough love.

For those of you who don't like to read slash stories then I have a place for you! NSU is your place to find all stories that a) aren't slash, b) don't have really strong/prolific language, c) any sort of explicit sex scenes—m/m, f/f, m/f—, and d) some pretty awesome Sherlock fics! If any of a-c start to appear then it will be taken off and if you awesome readers find something we missed please let us know! If you don't want your stories put into NSU then please let us know and we will remove them! Thanks!

A community dedicated to the Sherlock/John. From bromance to fluff to full on slash, you can find it here. Staff wanted.

Sherlock/John community. Because these boys of ours need a little help setting their romantic lives straight.

Warning! Torture and gore abound. Hurt/John and Caring/Sherlock tend to be the drink of choice, and of course, there are plenty of strong and EXPLICIT themes here, but the authors have been very good to make a proper note of everything! So mind your ratings and trigger-warnings! Also, definitely check out constantlyfreemaned. / sherlock-recs - Lauryn has compiled an amazing list of h/c fics that include some fantastic stories on AOU *Mzz

Stories where Sherlock either gets sick or hurt somehow, physically or mentally/both + includes protective/worried/doctor!John.

For adoption, if no one adopts I'll be deactivating - PM me if u want it, first come first serve

Carefully selected, high quality stories of angst, hurt/comfort, tragedy, adventure, romance, humor, friendship, AU, Cabin Pressure & Star Trek crossovers, etc. Join the BBC Sherlock regulars on their adventures and never worry about finding that perfect story again.

Stories involving John and Sherlock as children. It can be Sherlock and/or John who is the child, for whatever reason. AUs, pre-series, de-aged, etc. Teenfics also included.

They're fictional characters. Why am I sobbing.

Where all your romantic original character needs are taken care of. If you're like me you find it hard and time consuming to go through all the pages and pages of stories to find a romantic Oc story. Well that's why I made this. I hope this helps feed your sherlock addiction. If you know of any I don't have on here pm me. :) Mainly there'll be sherlock/OC stories and if I see any John/OC stories here, but others are welcome as well. So enjoy!

All Sherlolly stories I have enjoyed and would like to share!

From friendship to romance, these stories develop realistic and fluid storylines that transcend the simplicity of most slash works. They hold literary and artistic merit as well as captivate the hearts of the Sherlock community.

Collection of Sherlock (BBC) fics for lovers. You'll find many ships within this community. Only requirement is captivating, quality writing. Ratings K - M.

This community is dedicated to all of those lovely readers who want to read about Sherlock without having to wade through the large amount of slash out there. All pairings and all ratings are accepted, as long as it's M/F. As I cannot possibly read all the great stories that are out there, I am open to any story suggestions.

Because everybody loves a good teenage AU, right? Mostly, if not all, Sherlock/John slash.

A collection of stories, both slash and gen, featuring John Watson and Mycroft Holmes.

Because I can't be the only one addicted to the absolute genius of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the directing skills of Steven Moffat, writing/reading such genius, and the hotness of actor Benedict Cumberbatch XD
