Why Obsession Sheriarty Fanfiction Works So Well

Jim Moriarty/Sherlock Holmes — BBC Sherlock's consulting criminal courted his consulting detective with bombs, riddles, and a rooftop date that ended in both their 'deaths.' Moriarty's flirtation is canon text — the ship simply asks what happens if Sherlock ever flirted back.

Obsession — One character's fixation on another consumes the narrative — watching, collecting, orbiting — whether it resolves into requited intensity or curdles into something dangerous. Tagged clearly so readers can choose how dark they want the spiral to go.

The only person who never bores him; fans are drawn to the vertigo of intellectual equals with opposite moral settings. Obsession dramatizes the terrifying edge of wanting, and readers are drawn to fiction that admits desire is not always tidy or safe. That's why obsession Sheriarty fanfiction is one of the most consistently popular combinations on AO3.
