( Dealing with Children )

Title: Snow
Author: madame_fifi
Recipient: ragnild
Characters/Pairings: Mycroft/John, John/OFC (temporarily), Sherlock/OFC, John/his stubborn refusal to acknowledge that he’s on a date
Rating: PG
Warnings: Sherlock shacks up with a girl who had previously been with John. Does my dreadful knowledge of medicine and science count as something to be warned about? Also, I’m terribly mean to the poor doctor.
Summary: John is pretty sure he’s single, Mycroft is a sneaky romantic and Sherlock finds relationships too confusing.
Author’s Note: With very many thanks to my two lovely betas devikun and blue_eyed_1987, who had to put up with my missing words, ever changing tenses and my tripling the original word count! You two are the (much lovelier) `Anthea`s to my Mycroft <3

Part 2

Title: Footnotes of an Adventurer's Life
Author: lavvyan
Recipient: inamac
Characters/Pairings: Holmes, Watson
Rating: PG
Warnings: reference to violence, use of outdated and in one case questionable vocabulary, run-on sentences of doom
Summary: Now that old age has caught me up and rebirth has become a matter of serious contemplation – although I do not flatter myself that my fellow cats might pick me for a journey to the Heaviside Layer over such colourful characters as the Rum Tum Tugger – I wish to recount the story of my first meeting with my very good friend, whom the public still admires as Holmes of Baker Street.
Notes: I moved the timeline a bit, so Holmes and Watson met in 1880 instead of 1881 because otherwise I'd have had to come up with a different Plot Device^TM and that's just no. Dear inamac, you (kind of) asked for a very Victorian crossover of ACD Canon with T. S. Eliot's Cats. This is not that story, as there are no hansom cabs, gaslight, Christmas goose or pudding. There are cats though. Happy holidays. :)

Many, many thanks to kisa_hawklin for her usual beta-reading magic.

Title: A Dickens of a Tale.
Author: elixile22
Recipient: mainecoon76
Characters/Pairings: Sherlock / OFCs, hinted at Sherlock/Moriarty but it is at its heart a John/Sherlock story. (Plus bonus random other character interactions.)
Rating: M
Warnings: Swearing, Drug usage, Implied sexual situations, Violence, Death and some Angst
Summary: Concept based upon Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol: Sherlock is haunted by a case from the past whilst investigating a case in the present and there is also an ominous foreshadowing of *whisper it* Reichenbach Falls.
Notes: This is the author's first fic so would appreciate any and every comment to help in the future ^.^ Also many thanks to cassieingaben for being a god amongst betas (at least what you could do in the time alloted) and the mods for being patient / producing this great comm!

( Epilogue )

Title: Remainders
Author: arwen_kenobi
Recipient: only_po
Characters/Pairings: John Watson, Sherlock Holmes, and a fly by mention of Mary Morstan
’Verse: Technically Canon but I’m following the Granada series by having Watson have both a shoulder wound and a leg wound. Better suffering that way ;)
Rating: PG
Warnings: Mentions and brief descriptions of wounds and scars. Nothing too graphic, though.
Summary: It’s the last thing you think about when you’re being shot at but it is what defines your life if you live.
