Maybe a powerful artifact has been stolen and Sherlock's unique way of seeing details helps find it. Another could be that Doctor Strange uses his magic to transport Sherlock to different dimensions to solve a case that spans across realities. For example, a serial killer who can move between dimensions and Sherlock has to use Strange's magic to track him down.
A possible plot for a Sherlock and Doctor Strange crossover fanfiction could involve a threat to the fabric of reality itself. Sherlock notices some strange patterns in the normal world that seem to have a connection to the magical realm. Doctor Strange, on the other hand, is aware of a dark force trying to break through the barriers between dimensions. They meet when Sherlock starts investigating a series of unexplained disappearances. Strange realizes that Sherlock's sharp intellect can help him understand the nature of this threat. Together, they embark on a journey through different dimensions and magical landscapes, using their combined skills to stop the impending doom.
One idea could be that Merlin uses his magic to help Sherlock solve a case that seems to have supernatural elements. For example, a series of murders where the victims all seem to have died from some unexplainable force. Merlin's ability to sense magic and his knowledge of the old ways could give Sherlock new perspectives on the case.
One idea could be to have Sherlock investigate a mystery related to a historical event in Hetalia. For example, he could look into the disappearance of a valuable artifact during a time of war in one of the Hetalia countries. Another idea is to have the Hetalia characters assist Sherlock in solving a case in London. Maybe Italy could provide some unexpected insights with his unique perspective. Also, a crossover could involve Sherlock being transported to the Hetalia world and having to adapt to its strange rules and cultures while still using his detective skills to solve local mysteries.
Another idea is that Sherlock and Tony Stark team up. They are both highly intelligent. Tony could provide Sherlock with high - tech gadgets to aid in his investigations, while Sherlock could help Tony with his personal problems. For example, Sherlock might figure out who is trying to steal Stark Industries' secrets by observing the small details in the company's operations.
One idea could be that Doctor Strange accidentally opens a portal to the wizarding world of Harry Potter. He could end up at Hogwarts and be mistaken for a new kind of wizard.

For example, his use of the Time Stone could mess with the time - turners at Hogwarts.

It could have exciting time-travel adventures combined with Sherlock's sharp detective skills. Maybe characters from both universes team up to solve complex mysteries across different eras.
Sherlock could be highly skeptical of Doctor Strange's magic at first. He might constantly try to find logical explanations for the magical phenomena. Doctor Strange, in turn, could be amused by Sherlock's attempts and then gradually show him the true power of magic.

Perhaps a fanfiction where Doctor Strange loses his powers and has to rely on his wits and the knowledge of ancient spells he has memorized to defeat a powerful enemy.

One idea could be that Doctor Strange somehow gets transported to the RWBY universe. Maybe he's there to help deal with a powerful Grimm that has magic - like abilities that the normal Huntsmen and Huntresses can't handle. He could use his magic to teach the RWBY characters new ways of fighting and also learn a thing or two from them about their unique combat styles.
One idea could be that a magical rift opens up between the Harry Potter universe and the Marvel universe where Hermione and Doctor Strange meet. They could team up to close the rift which is causing chaos in both worlds. Strange uses his magic to hold off the magical creatures spilling into the Marvel world while Hermione uses her vast knowledge of spells to find a way to close it from her side.
