People rec’d a bunch to me when I asked, so I’m passing the list on (and adding one of my fics, too, because why not). I have not read all of these and I just pasted in each author’s summaries in from AO3. In no particular order:
The Amontillado Case by @alutiv: “I heard a rumour once,” he mused, “about evidence from that Amontillado case that had to be taken out of the Museum and stuck in storage somewhere. But what of it?” It was altogether too easy to see when Anderson was trying to play it cool. Sally grinned, reaching inside the neckline of the catsuit and withdrawing a key from its hiding place in her bra. Anderson’s eyes widened as they followed the motion. “I think,” Sally murmured, “that we should go take a look for ourselves.”
Little Shop of Hamish by cherielynn503: John Watson and his son Hamish discover a genuine magic shop in downtown London. Sherlock, the shop’s owner, takes an unusual interest in both John and Hamish. John begins to remember repressed memories of visiting Sherlock’s shop as a boy. Now that he has them, will Sherlock let them leave?
The Master of Latham Hall by @kryptaria: Ten years after meeting Sherlock Holmes, John Watson has successfully kept only one secret from the world’s only consulting detective: the most important secret he’s ever had.Now, drawn into an impossible web of murders at Latham Hall, John learns the terrible price a man must pay for keeping certain things secret.
Halloweenlock 2016 Collection by @may-shepard: A themed collection of Halloweenish, spooky, horror-themed, horror comedy-themed, fall-seasonal stories, art, or what have you based on BBC Sherlock, ACD Holmes, or any related Sherlockian works.All additions to this collection are most welcome! All ships and rare pairs welcome.
Most Ghosts Are Idiots by GoldenUsagi: The one where Sherlock is already dead but hits it off with John anyway. John returns from Afghanistan later than he did in canon and rents a long vacant flat in Baker Street. But it has a few problems, he discovers, such as the ghost of Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock throws books about, plays the violin at all hours, and leaves ominous messages on the bathroom mirror. John settles in regardless, determined not to let a haunted flat get the best of him. Though he does wish Sherlock would stop hiding his cane. Sherlock’s not an ordinary ghost, but then, most ghosts are idiots.
Skeletons by flawedamythyst: Sherlock’s refusal to talk about his past hides far more skeletons than John could ever have guessed at. Halloween-esque AU.
Silver and Gold by shinysherlock: That John had managed to go from never having a sexual thought about the man to wanting to grind against him in the middle of a darkened hallway was surprising, but hardly mysterious–a playful, aroused Lestrade was a dazzling thing. (Halloween party setting).
