Summary
A sudden flurry in the water made him jump back, his breath catching in his throat and locking there, because of everything he'd expected to see, it wasn't this.
He stared, screwing up his eyes before opening them again. The view didn't change. He must've fallen and hit his head. It was the only explanation. Maybe he lay flat on his face, unconscious at the bottom of the gantry, and this was all some kind of dream.
Even here, in Baskerville, there was no such thing as merfolk.
---
When John is invalided out and left as little more than a glorified security guard in Baskerville, life has never looked so bleak. Will a stranger in need of his help set his life on a new course, or will he lose everything in his effort to help this "Sherlock Holmes"?

Summary
"For John, it's not a bullet that throws his existence into disarray – it's a bite."
In a world where twelve percent of the population are Mactiri - people with the ability to turn into wolves at will - John finds himself struggling with a new and horrifying existence. The victim of a shocking attack, he is discharged from the army and sent home, determined never to acknowledge what he can now become.
However, when his health starts to fail, it is up to his enigmatic new flatmate to show him that perhaps his life is not the nightmare John believes it to be.

Summary
“I’m here to investigate several murders that have taken place in the past year.”
John narrowed his eyes in confusion and looked to Sherlock again, stepping aside with an arm outstretched so they could sit in a pew together.
“I have noticed a decline in my regular parishioners. I do hope none of them have come to any harm.”Sherlock chuckled, and the low pitch of it resonated against the cold brick, letting it echo back into John’s ears. It was nice. It felt like velvet, and John had an inkling that he was one of a few that had actually heard it.
“Quite the contrary, Father, I believe you are to be the next victim.”-
Bookmark Notes:
So sweet and slow. If I had one wish for this story it would be ‘and they lived happily ever after’. In my imagination they always do.

Summary
There was nothing but silence for a moment on the other end of the radio, and Sherlock began to worry that he had perhaps put yet another person off with his deductions. That hadn’t been his aim, especially not with someone as interesting as a retired army captain turned firefighter.
A high-pitched giggle broke through the radio static. Sherlock stared, in shock, as the noise filled the air.
“That,” the Captain said, “was amazing."
Or, Sherlock falls a little bit in love with firefighter John Watson.

Summary
John and Sherlock never imagined that their relationship could ever be more than flatmates and best friends. Hoped, perhaps...but... *ahem*
Could one person change that? What if someone else had their eye on Dr. Watson?
What if it wasn't a woman?
