    Summary

    Maybe there's another reason Sherlock 'deleted' the solar system.

    When spacey astronomer Olivia Wainwright befriends John Watson, she crosses paths with two childhood friends. But only one of the Holmes brothers remembers her.

    Sherlock isn't entirely sure why he resents the solar system, but Ollie Wainwright seems to be making things worse.

    Mycroft failed to protect Olivia when they were children, and will do whatever it takes to make it up to her.

    John has a habit of getting too attached, and Ollie Wainwright is certainly no exception.

    Summary

    ​“You should go to sleep. That article can wait,” she pointed out gently.

    ​“That remains statistically improbable.”

    ​“The part about you going to sleep, or your article waiting?” Holmes smiled quite genuinely.

    ​“Both. I saw that article eyeing the Odyssey. I believe it intends to float away. And I have no intention of allowing that.”

    ​London has become offensively mundane.

    ​Sherlock Holmes is beginning to bear inactivity far worse than he would ever admit. Baker Street is drowning in restlessness, irritability, and intellectual stagnation—until their flat is disrupted by a visitor Sherlock truly did not expect.

    ​Mycroft Holmes.

    ​The man who rules half of the British Empire with the cold precision of a chess grandmaster arrives with a request that defies all logic: he needs advice on a personal matter.

    ​What initially appears to be a minor social complication, however, gradually unravels into something far more dangerous—a situation that cannot be resolved by deduction alone.

    ​Genre: A psychological slow-burn set in Victorian London, focusing on people who understand everything except their own emotions.

    ​Updates: New chapters every Monday and Thursday.

    Summary

    “So has he taken your case then?”

    “Case?” Sloane felt utterly lost.

    “Well, it’s just that most of the people he sees rush out of here in tears or fury, and you look rather… well. I take it he’s accepted your case?” The man gestured up the stairs. “It must be a good one if it’s got him interested. He’s been picky about them for weeks,” he added, more to himself than to her.

    “Pardon me, but I think there’s been a misunderstanding,” she said. “I live here.”

     

    Sloane Worth is a young academic who moves to London for a change of scenery. After making friends with the doctor and detective upstairs, she gets swept up in their world of crime and mystery. Her talent for reading people as well as she reads books could rival the detectives' own, and soon she finds herself trying to untangle more than a web of crime but her heart strings as well.

    Scene one takes place just before the blind banker.

    Summary

    Katrina Jenkins and Sherlock Holmes are the opposite ends of the emotional spectrum. Combined, they become a strangely unique and unstoppable force. Add in a dash of philosophy, a fall, and secret texts, it turns out there's a fun game to play: The Game of Favours, where nobody wins but everyone can keep a hand of favours ready to dish out when the time comes. Very slow burn Sherlock/OC, it barely exists in this one.

    Part one of a trilogy. Post-A Scandal in Belgravia. Minor changes to the rest of S2. Rated M for discussion of mental health issues, allusions to drug use, and depictions of functional alcoholism.

    Summary

    FORCED TO HONOUR A LIFE that was practically written for her, Aurora Griffiths, born Holloway, has still managed to reconcile both her parents’ wishes and her own ambition: making a good match and putting to good use her knowledge of politics and science… as an unofficial advisor to her husband, the notorious Edward Griffiths, the Foreign Secretary’s protégé and Bocephalus Hodges’ newly appointed partner. But her premature “career” is unexpectedly cut short by Edward’s sudden passing.

    A YEAR AND A HALF AFTER his death, Aurora fears her efforts to keep her husband’s work might meet the same fate as him, leading her to play one last card. Conscious of its valuable nature, the Foreign Secretary comes to a compromise: in exchange for her duty of confidentiality, she is set to lead a limited series of meetings intended to train her late husband’s successor… who's none other than Mycroft Holmes, an old friend from a past she thought she had successfully drawn a line under.

    BUT WHEN NOSTALGIA meets loneliness, and erudition, unspoken passion, Aurora slowly comes to realise how much that Victor Hugo’s verse takes on its full meaning: that life is a flower for which love is the honey.
