Two Hundred and Twenty-One Baker Streets: An Anthology of Holmesian Tales Across Time and Space by David Thomas Moore

4.0

Fanfiction is amazing and you should never, never underestimate its ability to impress, despite its oddity and quirks. Think about it. Are you more likely to stay up until four in the morning for a good novel, or a AU about Shelock the barista and John the reluctant med student (I mean, if you could only read one, cause sometimes I'll speed read both.)?



Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. There are thousands upon thousands of stories regarding this legendary pair, among those numbers 3 popular tv shows and a box office hit. Whichever direction the creators take them, they can all agree on one thing: Our brilliant and eccentric detective will always find his brave and loyal doctor, and they will be blessed with a friendship to be envious of. In many ways, we own what we know about this dynamic duo to the revisionists, the writers that tireless try to create something new from something old.

Some features of this anthology include:

Circus AU
Fem!lock
Fourth wall? What fourth wall?
Johnlock
Ghost stories and unsolvable mysteries (yes, even for Sherlock)
Assassination attempts
Elvis
A genius Mrs. Husdon
Time travel
and good ol' deduction from the world's most famous consultant.

Seriously though, if you're a fan of any Holmes works, read this. These are some superbly clever tales professional authors have put together for your enjoyment.
