Summary
Time Traveler's Wife fusion.
It’s hard to keep track of all these different Sherlocks at different ages. It seems like just last week he was convincing a seven year old Sherlock to smile because it was his birthday and then fighting the awkwardness of him asking if John was married in the future.
Probably because it was just last week for him. Fucking time travel.

Summary
Sherlock may be the better dancer of the two of them, but John's not too shabby at one particular dance...
“I could teach you,” Sherlock says off-handedly when they calm down again. “If you wanted, that is. Not Ceroc, I can’t stand that style of dance. Something proper.”

Summary
Sherlock/Let The Right One In Fusion (knowledge of film/book not needed). John Watson is an isolated thirteen year old boy: he’s got a distant mother, a resentful older sister, and a sadistic bully at school called Moriarty who’s got it in for him. When Sherlock Holmes moves in next door, he and John form a rapid, intense friendship based on their mutual loneliness. Unfortunately for John, Sherlock has issues that go much deeper than loneliness.
“I need blood to live, yes.”
John lets that sink in. “So are you… are you dead? Undead? How old are you, really?”
The lightbulb above them flickers and Sherlock’s fingers tap out a short rhythm on the glass as he thinks about his answer. John copies the rhythm, softer, quieter.
“I’m conscious,” Sherlock says with a small shrug of one shoulder. “I move, respire, react to my environment… I miss a few of the basic life processes, but I think I qualify as ‘alive’. And I’m thirteen, like I told you.” A rueful smile, and his hand drops to his side. “But I have been thirteen for longer than is naturally possible.”

Summary
Coming on to night shift was no different as far as Maggie was concerned than a daytime one. Oh, she knew that plenty of other nurses hated the night shift, had trouble sleeping, dealing with the ruckus of the drunken patients but it had never bothered her. The only really difference for Maggie was her caffeine intake and that increased plenty as the night went on.

Bookmarker's Notes
Outsider POV of these two is always my favourite and the quietness and subtlety of this fic make my heart ache. So good.

Summary
More than a year after Sherlock Holmes's return from the dead, his cohabitation with the good Doctor has more or less returned to normal. With their daemons at their sides, Holmes and Watson are as keen a pair of crime solvers as they ever were. Deep in the winter of 1895, their limits as a team are tested when a young woman's daemon is stolen from her side and destroyed. It is not the first of such attacks, Watson learns, and he and Holmes immediately set out to find the culprit of the horrifying deed. They are led into a web of back alleys and gambling debt that leads ultimately to the heart of the government, all in the pursuit of the elusive element of Dust. But their investigation is not a secret one, and the duo's fame in the city of London brings them more trouble than expected and forces them to take some measures to protect one another that violate many a social taboo.

Summary
When Sherlock Holmes stepped onto the roof of St Bart’s to confront Moriarty, he had every faith that the combined might of the Holmes brothers was going to win out over Moriarty’s machinations once and for all. He was, perhaps, a bit over confident. When faced with the choice between almost certain death and jeopardizing the lives of those closest to him, Sherlock chose to make the ultimate sacrifice for their safety.
This is the story of those people doing what they could to pay him back.
