    Summary

    What we didn't get to see in A Scandal in Belgravia. Sherlock rescues Irene and they share a night together in Karachi, Islamabad. It's full of references to the original episode and to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original characters. It's not finished yet. Please read the notes :) <3

    Summary

    Crimes were so simple before aliens, gods, and supernatural abilities made themselves known. But Sherlock Holmes never enjoyed simple and these inhumans and mutants provided quite a challenge. SHIELD needed someone to find the superpowered. Funny how both their needs can be met.

    Summary

    Sherlock AU. In the future, a bad experience does not need to ruin your life. There are places, all around the world, where memories that scar can be extracted and stored in a secure facility and a damaged soul can start afresh. When Sherlock and John are called to The Anamnesis Institute to investigate a break in, Sherlock Holmes, aloof, cool, genius detective, unleashes a secret that stands to either ruin or change him forever. Sherlock has lived a life without distraction: untroubled by heartache and removed on occasion from his humanity, but Molly Hooper feels an inexplicable pull, a need to help him despite everything. Do our memories help or hinder? Will our hearts still find a way?

    Summary

    John is still and relaxed, drifting close to sleep, when Sherlock figures out the thing he wants to say.

    “I like bees,” he murmurs into the warm, musky silence between them.

    John’s breathing changes as he contemplates the non sequitur.

    “I never knew you gave bees a second thought,” he says softly.

    Summary

    The fourth of May, 1891, Holmes and Watson’s journey ends at the Reichenbach Falls. The tragic events that occur there could not reasonably be written in the Strand. Yet it seems that for a long, long time, the luminous John Watson was already used to rewrite history...
    Birds and a very sentimental silver cigarette case included.

    The first time Sherlock meets Jack, he's up a tree. Literally. It's not Sherlock who's up the tree, because that's just not on.

    Jack is.

    “The difficulty with this conversation is that it's very different from most of the ones I've had of late. Which, as I explained, have mostly been with trees.” ― Douglas Adams

    Summary

    A couple months ago, I was asked to write a research paper for one of my final grades in my last English course of public school. We were asked to choose a Victorian-era English novel; my teacher gave us a list, but naturally, I asked specifically for something else.

    As the tags say, 'A Study in Love' delves deep into the original homo-romantic subtext, queer history references and ties, and true love demonstrated within ACD's classic tales. This is their story.

    Summary

    These are the stories behind the story we know: what really happened to Watson's marriage, and what made him follow Holmes to Reichenbach; what secrets were hidden in the mountains, and what a dead man wrote to the man he left behind.

    Summary

    So far, the theme of season 5 seems to be that these idiots, whom I love, can't take care of themselves. So I've added hypothesized scenes where they do just that. Self-contained chapters are titled for their corresponding episodes. Tags will be updated as the work progresses. Content warnings will be appended to relevant chapters.

    Like other works I write for Holmes and Watson, this one can be read as shipping-friendly but is not shipping-explicit. That said, I'm new to writing for Elementary, so would welcome suggestions for how best to tag this take on their passionate, category-defying relationship so that those who want to find it can.
