Moriarty had stolen his best friend, it was time for him to return the favor for payback, and the gloves come off. The line between friend and foe blurs.

Sherlock Holmes is not a very social man. He's a consulting detective and the only one in the world, so by the process of elimination, that makes him the best. However, being such a detective doesn't leave much time for friends, or even romance. Well, until he meets John Watson. John Watson is a soldier who has just returned from war. He has a psychosomatic limp and he misses the war, even if he doesn't care to admit it. Naturally, when the possibility of sharing a flat with the world's only consulting detective arises, he jumps at the chance and instantly befriends the strange character. But it friendship the furthest that Sherlock and John are willing to go with each other? Or is the world-famous detective deducing new things about himself?

The Things They Never Said by thetimegoddess

It's been 7 months since the fall and John is getting worse and worse everyday. When Sherlock finally returns home he finds that a cruel twist of fate has once again separated him from his dear Doctor. And there might not be a happy reunion.

Sherlock has never believed in love, nor has he ever needed it. That has all changed now. He loves John Watson. He wants John Watson. It burns like fire, like heroin running through his veins. Not a desire. An addiction. Maybe it's just John. Maybe it's that intoxicating touch and empathetic demeanour. Maybe it's the way he cares so much. What makes Sherlock so addicted to John Watson? The man who's never wanted anyone now needs someone. Is it something he'll be able to handle?

Her Darkness (Jim Moriarty x Reader) by Coffee_Crazed73

You don't listen to him. But the ever persistent thought of giving into that darkness, is getting harder and harder to resist. (I don't take full credit, some credit does go to @Galanator since it is kinda based off of a roleplay that we did.)
