Title: Strange Coincidences Leading to the Most Outre Results
Recipient:

armchair_elvis
Author:

amindamazed
Verse: Elementary; Mary Russell
Characters/Pairings: Mary Russell, Sherlock Holmes, Joan Watson, Mrs Hudson, Ms Hudson, Kitty Winter
Rating: Gen
Warnings: none
Summary: what if Mary Russell was born 100 years later and ended up in NYC instead of Sussex? A bit of not-fic for a story that never came

As I was reading through everyone's Holmestice posts and got to yours, I had a flash of inspiration for this modern-day AU/fusion of Elementary and Mary Russell. Sadly, try as I might, no actual story or plot materialized in time; only more detail to the set-up. So I offer this to

armchair_elvis as a Holmestice treat in hopes it may amuse, and to everyone as a prompt, in hopes it may inspire someone to take it further. And I'd love to read additional speculation about this fusion in the comments.

Title: The Winds of Change

smallhobbit
Verse: ACD Canon
Characters/Pairings: Sherlock Holmes/Doctor John Watson
Rating: Teen/PG-13
Word Count: circa 3,509
Warnings: Angst, Injury recovery, Humour, Alternate Universe: Canon Divergence, Established Relationship, Romance, Retirement, Friendship, Pre-WW1, World War 1

Summary: On the eve of the Great War two men reunite, sharing their joy at being together again. Yet amidst their celebrations Watson discovers Holmes’ life-changing injury - will Holmes ever be able to play the violin again? Watson is determined to assist in the healing process, using his own experience with his personal war wound.

Author's Note: This story is set on the tail-end of His Last Bow with Holmes and Watson reuniting after two long years apart. The author has taken the liberty of canon divergence, where Watson - the unreliable narrator - actually retired to Sussex with Holmes. There are brief mentions of the oncoming Great War, but no war scenes.

natrix_natrix I ran with your prompt of Holmes suffering nerve damage in his hand due to his undercover work. I hope I have managed to deliver!

Universe: Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle
Pairing: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
Summary: Come Christmas Day Jacob Marley's daughter was lost and found, a mysterious break-in happened, a ship reached London under a new name, an informant got shot, and Captain Basil and his doc John made an appearance in a seedy bar.

However, the case was only a subterfuge for something else. After all, Holmes is called a master of disguise but to call Sherlock Holmes and John Watson masters of secrets might be more apt.

Characters/Pairings: John/Sherlock, John/Mary
Word Count: 20,985
Rating: 4) mild to moderate violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes
Warnings: Referenced Past Child Abuse (non-sexual)
Summary: The world has changed while Dr. John Watson was away in Afghanistan. Now there are computer labs at Barts, automated checkout lines at the grocery store that never do what he wants, and superhumans now walk the Earth. Sherlock Holmes, designation S-H, is one of them, a supergenius created by the nefarious Shelly Institute, hidden in the English moors. Now that the Institute has been destroyed, he's trying to live among normal humans, working as a consulting detective - the only one in the world - but it's not so easy to leave his past behind him. Still, John finds himself inexorably drawn to Sherlock and his dangerous life.
Acknowledgements: Inspired by Umisabaku's Designation: Miracle, in particular Don't Blink You'll Miss It (Lift Up Your Head).

Characters/Pairings: Mycroft Holmes/Greg Lestrade
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: Choose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Summary: Everything looked perfectly in place and in control, like always. His clothes neat and cut to shape his body and not anyone's else. His jaw clean shaved, his skin smooth and pale. His auburn hair neatly slicked back.He was gently clasping his cufflinks, the last detail to his otherwise perfect attire.
Mycroft Holmes was a feast for the eyes, and Greg Lestrade could not get enough of him.

Or, after spending weeks apart because of a mission abroad, Greg and Mycroft have barely had time to enjoy each other before they're expected to be at 221B for a Christmas party. Nobody there knows they're an item, except Molly.

Warnings: None.
Summary: One of the purposes of fanfiction is to right wrongs committed in Canon.
Word Count: 3400
Notes: Spookhouse Theater made three Puppet!Holmes shorts. Their location on the Facebook page is spotty. Fortunately they can also be currently found on YouTube here: Episode 1, Episode 2 and Episode 3. For the purposes of this story, I've decided that the Spookhouse Theater Puppet!Holmes 'verse is the same one in which Jim Henson's Muppets and the puppet characters in the TV show Greg the Bunny live and work.

Summary: Following a satisfactory conclusion to the Harry Rigby case and a private celebration afterwards, Watson was looking forward to some peace and quiet. Attending medical lectures by the great Lister should do the trick. He ought to have known better. Peace and quiet? Hardly!

Author’s Note: I am not sure I delivered on an obscure Victorian fact, but hopefully the Holmes/Watson and the small case within still provide enjoyment : )
