#moriarty fics

[inevitably-johnlocked]

hi! you or anybody else happen to remember a super old fic (like pre-season 2 old) where they've confronted moriarty, john somehow makes them think he's in love with sherlock, sherlock shoots moriarty, and john decides to keep acting until he does actually fall in love?

Hey Nonny!

Oooo, I actually don't... which is odd because I usually RECALL seeing them but never remembering the fic. Not sure what this one is.

Anyone able to help us out with this one for Nonny?

Hey y'all! I'm looking for BBC Moriarty fics with an ofc or reader insert. I've never read one and am wondering what the fandom favourites are! If you have any recommendations please let me know ❤️

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Hello. Are there any stories where Moriarty is a good person, rather than a criminal, hooligan, or threat to the world?

Hi Nonny!

Oooooh, this is a good question... I don't read strictly Moriarty fics because I am not a huge fan of his character, but I am SURE that there are definitely AUs with this premise.

I'd love to make a list if I can get enough fic suggestions, so if anyone has any fics, please do suggest some for us!!

Anyone able to direct some fics to Nonny?

Buenas noches, qué tal?

Necesito tu ayuda, pasa de que quiero encontrar un fic pero recuerdo poco de la historia, me acuerdo de que era una relación entre John y Jim, y su primer encuentro sexual fue en una lavandería, John fue el top, y solo se juntan para eso, hasta como que Jim le sigue coqueteando, le compra regalos creo y Sherlock piensa que tiene una relación con Mycroft, pero el le dice que no, que tendrá que descubrirlo él, eso recuerdo y de que no lo leí en ao3, fue en otra plataforma, si me pudieras ayudar a encontrarlo sería genial, muchas gracias de antemano, saludos y abrazos!

Good evening, how are you? I need your help, it happens that I want to find a fic but I remember little of the story, I remember that it was a relationship between John and Jim, and their first sexual encounter was in a laundromat, John was the top, and they only get together for that, until Jim keeps flirting with him, he buys him gifts I think and Sherlock thinks he has a relationship with Mycroft, but he tells him no, that he will have to find out himself, that I remember and that I didn't read it in ao3, it was in another platform, if you could help me find it it would be great, thank you very much in advance, greetings and hugs!

Hey Nonny!!

Sadly I don't know which fic this one is that you are looking for; I usually only read Johnlock in the Sherlock fandom, so I am unfamiliar with this one. Hopefully one of my followers has seen this one and will be able to help us out!

Anyone?

¡¡¡Hola Nonny!!! Lamentablemente no sé cuál es el fic que estás buscando; por lo general sólo leo Johnlock en el fandom de Sherlock, así que no estoy familiarizada con éste. Espero que alguno de mis seguidores lo haya visto y pueda ayudarnos. ¿Alguien sabe algo?

------

AND Finally, I recently reblogged a MorMor Fic Recs (Nov 2022) (MFL) list with a bunch of Moriarty/Moran centric fics.

Feel free, friends to add some more if ya got them :)

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Would you be able to help me find a fic? In it, Moriarty had a son, who’s being looked after by Moran. After he faked his death, Sherlock searched around the world, kills Moran, and adopts the son. There is a scene where the son buys a suit. At one point, pretty late on, the son gets kidnapped, and sends a secret message using the books he buys for his kindle. I’m pretty sure it was a multi part series.

Hey Nonny!

I sadly don't know this one, so hopefully this rings someone's bell! Anyone able to pinpoint this one for us?

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Hi Steph I hope you are well and happy.

Today I have two very odd wishes ( probably)

First:

I have my Moriarty phase lol which doesn't mean Sheriaty please no!! But I love Sherlock whump so maybe you know some fics combined these two.

Maybe Sherlock gets kidnapped or hurt because of Jim?

Second one is even more strange.

I once read a fic where Sherlock gets kidnapped from a rich man and the story plays in his big house and Sherlock gets tortured with drugs and humiliated with sick mind torture.

I think the title is something with Palace or Castle or something like that.

It is a bit strange but totally fascinating and brilliantly written.

I'm sorry for bothering you again.

Thank you for always helping and supporting us.

You are such an amazing pillar of our fan community.

Please be good to yourself and be safe.

Love

Sabrina

Hey Lovely! *HUGS*

AHHH Sadly I'm unable to help you with either list, though the closest I have is for your first request is my Main Character / Villain Moriarty (MFL) list.

Ah, the only thing I can think of for the second request is this fic, but is a Reverse Reichenbach and John is the captured one:

Checkmate to a Castled King by LaSuen (T, 18,290 w., 1 Ch. || Friendship, Hurt / Comfort, Sick Sherlock, Reverse Reichenbach) - John dies. Or at least everyone thinks he does.

Probably wrong, though.Otherwise, can anyone help us out with either request?

As an aside, thank you for your kind words!! <3 Appreciate it! <3

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Hi, sorry to bother again. Any John/Sherlock fics where moriarty is Sherlock’s friend?

Hey Lovely!

Ahhh, I know I've been recced a few in the past, though I only know of "mutual rival" type of friend Moriarty is to Sherlock.

Anyone have any they can suggest for Lovely??
