Alex Holmes
"The one rule the Holmes boys abide by - caring is not an advantage. Their niece was the exception."
Created in 2014 by: A-D-E-E-R.
After her mother's suicide, Alex Holmes began to live with her beloved uncle, Sherlock Holmes. Rather clever, and painfully similar to her family, this fanfiction holds twists and turns of her adventures with John and Sherlock. Never one to pass up a case, and never one to ignore a friend in need. She's not your average teenager. Work can be found here
