| 1:06 am | Sherlock Fic: Penumbra - Series Two (First Chapter: Do You Dance?)  Title: Penumbra - Series Two (First Chapter: Do You Dance?) Author: Characters/Pairings: John Watson/Sherlock Holmes, Bill Wiggins, OCs Rating: Mature (for the series) Genre: slash Word Count: ~5K Disclaimer: Neither Sherlock nor Dark Shadows is mine and no money is being made. Synopsis: In Maine, there was Collinwood and the three centuries of history that were woven into its walls. In London, there is Holmeswood Manor (or the Manor on Baker Street as the urban legends have it), tucked now into a city street when once its oak woods rolled from the heath to the river. John grew up with its stories of ghosts and wizards and things that hunt in the night. They didnt keep him from interviewing for a residential post at the Manor because he couldnt afford London on an army pension and there could not possibly have been any truth to the tales. A/N: A sequel to the gothic AU of the Sherlock universe inspired by the universe of Dark Shadows (the television series) I wrote last spring for the 2016 Miniseries March Challenge. Series Two is set almost a year after the first series. Do You Dance? on AO3. Series One (all five chapters) on A03. Excerpt: Seeing red is an expression Ive heard all my life. Id never actually seen it before though. |

| 9:43 am | Sherlock Holmes Fic: He's Not Here Title: Hes Not Here Author: saki101 Rating: PG Word Count: ~7.9K Warnings: consideration of the apparent death of Holmes, canon typical mention of off-stage death of minor characters Summary: Holmes learns more about how Watson felt after the Reichenbach Fall, and what Watson did about it. Disclaimer: Public domain (at least all the ACD story elements referenced herein) A/N: Written for the 2020 ACDHolmesfest.  Excerpt: Where did you get a photograph of me? I laughed. From that photographer you suspected of murder. You sat for a whole series in order to have plenty of time to converse with him and observe his reactions. You told him you were an actor and had me bring along changes of costume, stage make-up, and props - a skull and a riding crop. Surely you remember? |

| 6:06 pm | Fic: Writ in Water Title: Writ in Water Author: Vermin Verse: ACD Canon Characters: Sherlock Holmes, Irene Adler Rating: PG Word Count: 8,300 Warnings: Violence, but nothing beyond what occurs in canon. Notes: Thank you so much to my excellent beta-readers,  thekumquat, garonne, and tripleransom. The link above goes to AO3 and the one below to my LJ. A note on pairings: This is essentially gen, although there is some discussion of Irenes relationship with Godfrey Norton, and it doesnt take a very strong prescription of slash-goggles to read Holmes/Watson into it, even though Watson doesnt actually make an appearance on-screen. The idea of Holmes/Irene is discussed but ultimately dismissed by the characters in question. "As you can see, the Eternal City is a charming place to be English, artistic and dead. You are in good company." |

The flush of his exertions had faded from his cheeks, leaving the cut across one all the more livid in contrast. He opened his eyes partway. How much did you wager? |

On LJ (in two parts due to length, link to part two at the end of part one) On AO3 Excerpt: Nothing ever happens to me, John said, meeting his therapists detached gaze. He could look someone straight in the eye and not give away a thing. The skill had been as valuable in his career as when he played poker. Ella glanced down to scratch at her notebook. She had perfected the same technique. John looked beyond her. Outside the firmly closed windows, bare tree branches scratched at the pale grey page of the sky. "Anymore," he added silently. |

His tone was cool; he did not turn around. |
