A/N: Spoilers for Sherlock series 4. This story came up to my mind when I realized that Rosie will mistakenly end up calling Sherlock “daddy” sooner or later. I hope you'll enjoy it, let me know your opinions in the comments, thank you :)

Characters/Pairings: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, Mrs Hudson, OCs, Roderick Usher/Edgar Corvus, Madeline Usher
Rating: Mature
Word Count: ~13K
Disclaimer: Sherlock is not mine and no money is being made. The other source works are in the public domain.
A/N: A fusion of Sherlock: The Abominable Bride and Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories crossed over with The Fall of the House of Usher, written for the June 2016 Holmestice Exchange..
Summary: A new client arrives at Baker Street hoping that Sherlock Holmes can shed light on the mysterious deaths of the Ushers and the destruction of their home.

Excerpt: The carriage door opened.

It would not have surprised me to see a patent leather slipper and a stockinged shin appear atop the step. Instead, a black-booted and trousered leg was our first glimpse of our visitor. The rest of his person emerged in a graceful motion, clothed in contemporary fashion, his colours ebon. He paused a moment on the pavement, then straightened his waistcoat and strode to our door.

A/N: An adventure that occurred before the final scene in Chapter Four: Beyond the Palings.

Excerpt: I stared for a moment at him and his beautiful proportions. He looked back at me, standing still as a statue with the water sluicing over him, except that statues do not grow red and purple bruises across their perfect skin.

Rating: PG
Genre: AU, Slash
Word Count: ~7.5K
Disclaimer: Sherlock is not mine and no money is being made.
Summary: When the hanging stones had only stood on the plain for a few centuries and the thriving community around them was a crossroads for knowledge and goods, there was a learned man who saw what others didn’t and a well-travelled soldier who had seen wonders and wanted to see more. (Or: first meeting in a very different place and time.)
A/N: Written for

what_alchemy whose generous prompts for the December 2014 Holmestice Exchange included "AUs with a unique twist, magical or otherwise" which lit a strange, blue spark in my head!
Excerpt: "The stones framed the fading grey light. Amidst the gathered shadows, a darker shadow bent over his work. A small flame lit his pale face.

Under one lintel, two small figures appeared.

“Are they gone?” the pale one asked, in a deep voice the stones liked..."

Title: Surveillance (Chapter 2 of Seat Assignment: Open)
Author:

saki101
Characters/Pairings: Gregory Lestrade/Mycroft Holmes
Rating: R-ish
Genre: Slash, romance, AU
Word Count: ~1.5K
Disclaimer: Sherlock is not mine and no money is being made.
Summary: Starlight. Conversation. Surveillance tapes.
A/N: Not Series 3 compliant. A continuation of the fic written for Let's Write Sherlock Challenge 13-Vacation Getaway. Although these two chapters may be read alone, they may also be read as part of a Mystrade set of stories which, more or less, began with an earlier holiday in We Are Sorry For Any Inconvenience.

Excerpt: The room at the top of the stairs was dominated by a skylight, a huge oval of star-scattered heavens. By the faint light from the landing, Greg saw a few outlines of furniture and more sky out a series of arched windows making up one wall. It didn’t seem very secure, not at all suited to Mycroft. There was a click and the light disappeared, the stars coming into sharper focus.

Rating: R-ish
Genre: Slash, romance, AU
Word Count: ~4K
Disclaimer: Neither Sherlock nor Cabin Pressure are mine and no money is being made.
Summary: During the Hiatus, Greg’s and Mycroft’s interest in one another develops beyond the professional.
A/N: Not Series 3 compliant. Written for Let's Write Sherlock Challenge 13-Vacation Getaway. Although the story may be read alone, the theme of the challenge prompted me to write another story in the Mystrade series which, more or less, began with an earlier holiday in We Are Sorry For Any Inconvenience.

Excerpt: Nine days of leisure stretched before Greg. He hadn’t a reservation or a plan for a single hour of it. He’d received a few winks and nudges when he’d said he hadn’t booked anything. A week in bed with a like-minded partner would have been an excellent way to spend the time, but he didn’t have that lined up either. He pushed a certain thought away as he slipped between the tourists and commuters and continued east along the Embankment.

Rating: PG-13
Genre: Slash, cross-over/fusion

Summary: What if Dr Frankenstein had had Dr Watson to keep him right? A story in which Sherlock's mother's maiden name is Frankenstein and Dr Watson has been invalided home towards the end of the Napoleonic Wars...
Notes: A stand-alone AU fusion fix-it fic written for the Springlock Exchange 2014 for swimmingbirdrunningrock's great prompt: John's the detective, Sherlock's the doctor. AU, fic or ficlet? Go wild. This connected to a thought I had had upon seeing Frankenstein with Mr Cumberbatch in the role of the scientist: every genius needs a John Watson.

Title: Midsummer Murders
Author: mojoflower
Status: 5/?
Characters and Pairings: Sherlock/John
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: Sex! If you need a warning for that. Starts out with a bang.
Length: 17k so far
Summary: Scattered across the English countryside, drifting from one Bacchanalian gathering to the next, hundreds of people are camping, dancing, singing... and some of them are dying. How will this relate to John, and the egg he currently nurtures? Chasing summer festivals on the trail of a murderer, tripping over hints of a 20-year-old crime ring, learning anew about one another, John and Sherlock dedicate themselves to untangling the case. This is a sequel to Murderous Imprint, which should definitely be read first.

Chapter excerpt:

Sherlock lurches away from it all, knocks the shower head awry, grabs at slick plastic and falls over the edge of the tub, bringing the wet curtain down with him in a glorious crash. The rattle of water hitting the plastic as he lies on the cold tile floor is too loud, and puddles are forming under him, and he’s tangled in the damned curtain, thrashing.

“Sherlock. Sherlock! Stop moving. Stop. It’s ok. It’s all right.” John’s voice begins in a commanding, loud tone, and gradually softens into his recognizable egg croon. There’s a grating squeak as he turns the faucet off, and water stops beating all around Sherlock on the floor. “It’s ok, Sherlock. Don’t move. Let me get you out of there.”

Sherlock struggles to suppress panicked instinct with rationality, and goes still, only his ears and the tip of his tail twitching feverishly. He can feel motion against his back, still, and flinches minutely, repeatedly, worried about what it could be, what threat it represents. He feels utterly disoriented and afraid.
