tweedisgood
Author: [redacted]
Rating: PG
Characters, including any pairing(s): established Holmes/Watson, developing Eugenia Ronder/Elsie Cubitt
Warnings: This is a fix-it for “The Veiled Lodger” and a follow-up to “The Dancing Men.” As such, it references the plots of both stories and includes references to suicidal inclinations, a past suicide attempt, past domestic abuse, as well as non-graphic descriptions of physical disfigurement
Summary: Holmes and Watson are determined to offer Eugenia Ronder more than a sermon.
Disclaimer: The characters belong to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and the opening poetic quotation is Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s. The concluding song was released in 1901 by Arthur F. Tate and Eileen Newton.

Title: Right Hand Man
Recipient:

gardnerhill
Author: [redacted]
Rating: PG for injury
Characters: Holmes, Watson
Warnings: Body modification, steampunk science.
Summary: Sherlock Holmes had uncovered most of my secrets within a month of our sharing digs, but he did not necessarily apply himself to teasing out the details of each one. He knew I had been in Afghanistan, that I had been injured, and the nature of my injury, but it was several years until he truly saw the extent of the reconstruction that had been done on my body.
Notes: This is very weird and experimental, so consider it as a piece of a larger puzzle!

Beta thanks: to

tweedisgood, always a treasure
Notes:

inamac, you asked for a historical mystery with an emphasis on detection, and I tried my very best for you with my first ever case-fic. See end for notes on the real mystery, what I changed, and how it differs from ACD's solution – and he had one!

obstinatrix
Rating: PG-13
Characters, including any pairing(s): Holmes/Watson
Warnings: References to period-typical homophobia

Title: The Adventure of The Woman in Mourning
Recipient:

stellinia
Author:

capt_facepalm
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 8200
Characters: Watson, Holmes, mention of canonical characters, a meriad of original characters.
Warnings: Violence
Summary: This fic has it all! Holmes point-of-view, kiddie fic, canonical cameos, canonical death(s), romance, murder, vengeance, confounding aliases, secret societies, deductions, and kittens!!! (Just kidding... no kittens, but a cat is mentioned in passing.)
Author's Notes: Sir Arthur played fast and loose with his chronology, and so must I. More time passes between EMPT and NORW than is conventionally accepted in canon. Revisiting SCAN is heartily encouraged but is no guarantee to understanding this story. Sorry about that.

Word Count: 3670
Disclaimer: Holmes is in the public domain and instilled in all of our Holmesian hearts, but I must pay homage to the singular genius of Arthur Conan Doyle; We’d have none of this glorious deduction and angst without him.
A/N: The title and epigraph of part I come from Tennyson’s In Memoriam XI and the epigraph of part II comes from the “Epilogue”. Also my thanks and love go to the speedy work of my two lovely betas and cheerleading team
