Author has written 5 stories for Sherlock.

Well, yeah... I'm not sure why I'm doing this, but here it is.

Edit 8jan19:

I suppose I should at least give some form of introduction at this point :)

I like reading. A lot. Fanfiction had been a major discovery several years ago - so many great stories and authors! I'm definitely an addict. My main interests go to detective stories (did anyone say Sherlock?) and sci-fi (the list is long), with some fantasy thrown in (Tolkien, there is never enough Tolkien. And Harry Potter.). A bit cliché, I suppose, but no can do.

I've been writting for a long time too, but I am still an "author in progress" to be honest. Long stories give me a lot of trouble, especially transitions between plot cornerstones, so most of my old original works are short novels that need polishing. There is a lot of unfinished fanfics too gathering dust on my hard drive. One day, I will the lottery, quit working inhuman hours and do something about this archive of 'things that could become something interesting'. One day. For sure.

English isn't my native language, so please forgive me for any glaring mistakes.

Anyway, thank you for reading this, and more importantly, thank you for reading my stories! :) I hope you enjoy them.

Cops and Robbers by InkySpectacles reviews
"Let me get this straight." Lestrade groaned as he surveyed the damage. "You took out half the cameras in London, 'borrowed' three cars, and knocked out half my team just because you were playing some convoluted cops and robbers game with Mycroft?"

Hidden Strengths by kotane reviews
One-shot. Case!fic. Sherlock deducing, John saving lives, races, gunshots and surprises. Basically, it's my attempt at writing BAMF (and at getting rid of a rather insistent plot-bunny). R&R!

Infinitely Stranger by Aurilia reviews
Series-rewrite AU. John was a lot of things - brother, son, friend. Doctor. Former soldier. But the one thing that any Holmes couldn't have expected was the one thing he was best at: Mage. Rating for language. Illustrated version available at Archive of Our Own, same pen name, same title.

Hard Knocks by laureleaf reviews
Sherlock and John have a massive fight. Can Sherlock figure out how to apologize, and can John forgive him? No slash. Expansion on my 'Bored' chapter in 'Five times John punched Sherlock'. Lots of chapters, but they're short.

Are You Alright? by kotane reviews
One-shot. Texts and phone calls only. John got wrapped in a hostage-taking and gets to communicate with Sherlock in order to solve the situation. (yup, my summary sucks.) Rated for (very little) mild language and alusion to violence. Please review )

Kidnapped! A Comedy by scuttlesworth reviews

Government Shutdown by chappysmom reviews
Sherlock was staring now. "Whatever is the matter with you, Mycroft? You haven't insulted me once and you're barely following the conversation." John cleared his throat. "I think I can answer that question for you. Mycroft? What's the date?" "10th January 2006."

The Montague Street Doctor by The Circus reviews
Just because Sherlock stopped, doesn't mean the Work has to. London is John's city now and he will keep it together with stitching, string, his healing, the food off his table, and sometimes the clothes off his back. John Watson keeps going. He's good at that.

Battle Butler by lalunaticscribe reviews
Cont. from Batman. There is a very good reason why hit-men stay the hell away from Baker Street. The number one reason is not due to Sherlock Holmes, but the Battle Butler behind him. EPIC! and MINORCRACK! induced.

Batman by lalunaticscribe reviews
Not that one! An old tradition of the British Army: espionage. An older tradition? The Battle Butler. To live with Sherlock Holmes, it is almost necessary to possess the necessary skill to survive every crazy situation. CRACK. Humor. Might have a sequel
