* Pairing: Joan/Moriarty
* Synopsis: Moriarty paints; Joan is painted.
* Comments: One of my favourite things to come out of that finale was the slow-but-steady growing Joan/Moriarty faction of fandom. This is just how I perceive the relationship; balanced but delightfully creepy, and with glorious build-up. The characterisations are spot-on.

* Synopsis: Blackout. It started with a touch, and whirled out of control until she never wanted it to end, and then it was over and the lights came back on. Sherlock and Joan and being in the dark.
* Tags: First kiss, first time
* Comments: This is basically WhatYouAreInTheDark: [[TheMovie The Slashfic]], and the highest praise I can give it is this: It actually turned me into a Joanlock shipper. The romance and descriptions and internal monologues of ensuing sexytimes are ''that'' well-written. And on top of all that, there's a great mystery!

* Category: Gen
* Synopsis: "Moriarty said you was obsessed with puzzles," Moran had said, his eyes shining. "But he's the greatest puzzle you'll ever come across." And through the rage and growing tendrils of doubt, a distant part of Sherlock had laughed. No puzzle could be more challenging or complex than the one these people had taken from him.

* Recommended by: AndiNightshade
* Crossover with: Sherlock
* Synopsis: A dynamic detective, a disgruntled doctor, and a damsel who isn't in all that much distress, thank you very much. In which a case of identity involving Sherlock Holmes himself threatens to turn several worlds upside-down, the Watsons are left to clean up the mess, and Irene Adler? Well, she just does what she wants.
* Comments: As with all of her work, Makokitten weaves an incredibly nuanced story between Elementary's Sherlock and BBC Sherlock's Irene Adler. Some tie-ins with her BBC Sherlock roleplay blog, Texts from John and Sherlock, and her post-Reichenbach story, The Siegerson Letters, both co-written with [[http://h3rring.tumblr.com/ h3rring]].

* Recommended by: caughtbluehanded
* Category: Gen
* Synopsis: For them, negotiation is less about boundary setting and more about upping the ante.
* Comments: A one-shot gen fic that explores Sherlock and Joan's developing friendship and mutual trust. Fantastic dialogue and characterization--the author has an excellent ear for the characters' voices and even their body language. Beautifully written, funny, and ultimately very sweet even as it keeps the characters' relationship platonic. Well worth a read.
