1. Just Dropped In by nipsu
Two years after going dark, Alec Trevelyan returns to London. After discovering his home has been sold, there might only be one other place he could go to lick his wounds. When he arrives, he realises just how much can change in two years. Was that a cat on his old friend's liquor cabinet?

this one addresses the alex bond friendship quite nicely and there’s a smidgeon of a hint of 00q00 if that’s your thing, but otherwise you can read it as just 00q too
2. The Devil of Upper Winkleton by christinefromsherwood (@christinefromsherwood)
Upper Winkleton was a quiet village. Quaint, even, with orderly hedges framing meticulously landscaped front gardens, and a large village green in the center next to a post office that also served as a grocer's shop and a small cafe.
Indeed, Upper Winkleton was a very lovely village; a veritable garden of Eden in an ever changing and hastening world. However, just like that biblical garden, Upper Winkleton had its dark corner, complete with its own devil.
A house whose front door children didn’t dare approach to ask to get their ball back when it flew over the fence. A garden which was not only not mowed regularly, but overgrown with nettles and thistles and wildflowers, where even grown-ups didn't dare ring the bell and complain about the hornet nests steadily growing under the eves.
"So, what do you think is really up with Old Man Bond?” asked Tom. Only he had just rammed a fistful of peanuts into his mouth so it sounded more like “Uhuh hu hu hmmm hmm huh hmm hrrung?”
