Hahaha, I don't know if there are no bad fics in Sherlock fandom or if I'm just getting better at avoiding them (without even trying, it seems).
Yes, I dislike the idea of sparkly vampires (LOL at your Maybeline's Water Shine Diamonds!!), but really, other than the generally poor writing, the thing that bothers me most in Twilight is Bella's extreme passivity and lack of character. She gets to make, what, like one or two decisions throughout the entire course of the series? And that's it?
But if you like non-sparkly vampires, Sherlock fandom has a metric ton of well-written AUs, including vampire fic. In fact, I just finished a long one called Stranger at the Gate that was fantastic. I don't know if it makes sense without watching the series since I watched the show before reading it, but I suspect it would hold up. Just if you're bored or something! :D
