* Recommended by Polaris, bregalad
* Comments: For all your Holmes/Watson shipping needs. Katie's fics are long, plotty, incredibly detailed and emotionally resonant. She has an excellent knowledge of the canon and the period; several stories deal with canonical incidents - and how they may have occurred differently than Watson chose to record them - and historical events ([

* Recommended by Lady Nomad
* Comments: Wordybirdy writes the funniest Sherlock Holmes that could be felt like it was canon. She researches Victorian England well and incorporates it into her fics. She writers Holmes/Watson as a couple and as really good friends.

''Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.''
''[[A Study in Emerald]]'' by [[Neil Gaiman]] (AU, Crossover with [[Cthulhu Mythos]]. Available to read online [http://www.neilgaiman.com/mediafiles/exclusive/shortstories/emerald.pdf here.])

''[http://prof-pangaea.livejournal.com/115264.html Sub Rosa]'' by Professor Pangaea
* Recommended by Polaris
* Synopsis: "One of the most attractive things about the flowers is their beautiful reserve. The truly beautiful and noble puts its lover, as it were, at an infinite distance, while it attends him more strongly than ever."
* Comments: This is a wonderful multimedia fic, consisting largely of telegrams exchanged between Holmes and Mycroft during the former's time in hiding after "The Final Problem."

* Recommended by Belphegor
* Synopsis: One wicked and clever pirate. One singular and brilliant detective. One hundred and fifty years apart. An impossible meeting? Perhaps just improbable... Crossover with Pirates of the Caribbean.
* Comments: Nytd is first and foremost a [[Pirates of the Caribbean]] fanfiction writer, but although this is a crossover, it remains a Holmes story throughout, with Doctor Watson as the narrator from beginning to end. It's fascinating, quite gripping and often funny, and the author has the 'voice' and feel of her characters down pat - no-one is forgotten. A definite must-read.

* Synopsis: Holmes hits a rough patch just after Watson's wedding. Warnings: drug abuse, withdrawal.

[http://featherfish.livejournal.com/196763.html#cutid1 The Baker Street Record] by Featherfish (Crossover with [[House of Leaves]]. Contains slash, explicit sex.)
* Recommended by Count Choculitis
* Pairing: Holmes/Watson
* Synopsis: Described by the author as an exercise in dual pastiche, this crossover begins with Holmes and Watson discovering a door in their {{color|blue|house}} were there wasn't one before. Holmes starts going mad trying to wrap his mind around it. Where does it lead? <s>{{color|red| Is there something inside it?}}</s> And then [[It Gets Worse]]. It should be noted that this is really not primarily a ship fic, but it contains Holmes/Watson slashiness and one scene of explicit sex.

* Possibly the longest Holmes/Watson slash fic on FF.Net, this 214k+ monster is ''still'' WIP and comes pretty well recommended. It tells a dark story of love between Holmes and Watson, especially in the face of Victorian society and Watson's parental responsibilities, along with several more hypotheses regarding their backgrounds. ▼
