Verse: ACD Holmes
Characters/Pairings: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, James Moriarty
Rating: G
Warnings: one mention of harm to animals in a wartime context, nothing graphic
Summary: Dr. Watson is a shadow-catcher, newly returned to London and weighted with the regrets of Maiwand. Sherlock Holmes is a light-caster, but one far more interested in casework than spellwork. The slowly growing connection between them proves to be, in many ways, enlightening.

Title: The Greater Game
Recipient: inamac
Author: graycardinal
Verse: Star Trek: TNG / Kurland – Moriarty series
Characters/Pairings: James Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes
Rating: G
Words: ~4200
Warnings: none
Summary:
Moriarty found himself repressing a shudder. Paradox is a powerful word to a mathematician, and at present his own existence was more or less that of a living mathematical construct. More, he had seen the records of Starfleet’s prior encounters with self-aware computer intelligences – Vaal, Landru, Nomad, and the like.
I am wise enough, I hope, to resist simple logical trickery. But I must be secure in my own inner nature to move forward in the present game, and I fear the result of probing too deeply on my own. I require…assistance.

Title: Journeys End in Lovers’ Meeting
Recipient: ireallyshouldbedrawing
Author: mightymads
Beta: recently_folded
Verse: ACD
Characters/Pairings: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, Inspector Lestrade, Mycroft Holmes, Professor Moriarty, Wiggins
Rating: T
Warnings: Period-typical homophobia, non-graphic depictions of violence, mentions of alcohol abuse
Word Count: ~6K (chapter 1 of 3)
Summary: The events preceding the Great Hiatus and the heartfelt reunion with Sherlock Holmes were described by Dr. Watson in his published accounts. However, as the Doctor himself admitted, for the sake of propriety, some facts had to be suppressed.
A/N: An amazing piece of art by ireallyshouldbedrawing facilitated writing of this story for which I had had an idea for some time. The scene depicted in the art should be covered in chapter 3, but I managed to finish only chapter 1 for the deadline, so there’s more to come :)

Title: The Best Revenge
Recipient: trobadora
Author: Marta
Beta: Aristofranes
Verse: Doyle
Characters/Pairings: Moriarty and S. Holmes (Gen)
Rating: Mature

Warnings: Period-appropriate anti-Semitism; Moriarty-appropriate violent thoughts and actions (including non-graphic references to murder and torture)

Summary: "I had of course read Doctor Watson's account in The Strand and my brother's eulogizing letters carried by the Daily Telegraph that preceded it. I was gratified by the latter's kind words, and even Doctor Watson's grudging admission of my criminal accomplishments did not go unmarked or unappreciated. A dead man will naturally have some interest in how he's remembered, or would if given the chance."
In which Holmes and Moriarty both survive the Fall, and meet one last time after it all.
