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. FYI: I generally avoid Sherlock or John death fics. Mostly non-slash.

The pair, along with John and Mary, are tested physically, morally and emotionally. Will they all realise what it means to be the people they are with the careers they have? Will romance blossom?

24 BBC Sherlock: Almost Christmas by Wynsom reviews
Post S-4: Choices and obligations, personal drives and responsibilities, even a pandemic may part them for long spells, but inevitably, they will reunite at the crossroads.

Remain with Me by endsoftime reviews
For every epic, life-altering explosion in a pool complex, there is an aftermath. Yet another post-Great Game "what if." Dreadfully unoriginal, with passing mention of spousal abuse, and gratuitous use of quotes from the episodes. I am sorry.
