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

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!

obstinatrix
Rating: PG-13

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.
