* Recommended by Rainwolf95
* ''[[strike: Synopsis]] Premise'': You are helping to write the official guide to surviving Sherlock Holmes, the rules are explained clearly and there are many contributors to this project.
* ''Comments:'' Okay, this is just a silly little game, not quite a fan fic, but not quite not, that's fun to play and is at least worth checking out.

''[[http://sherlockbbc-fic.livejournal.com/2262.html?thread=3677398#t3677398 The Lizzyverse]]'' by Anonymous (Link is to the Kink Meme thread containing all stories.)
* Recommended by The Blood Sharpie
* Pairing: John/Sherlock, but it's kept PG; they kiss about once and the most obvious way you can tell they love each other is by how they react when the other's in danger. This is because the story is mainly told from Lizzy's perspective (3rd person lmtd), and, seeing as she grew up with these two, she mainly dismisses it as "normal and therefore unimportant."
* Synopsis: The best synopsis for this would be the prompt from the Kink Meme that inspired it: "Teenage daughter of Sherlock and John dealing with her parents' shenanigans or her interaction or views of them."
* Comments: The fact that this troper loathes children but loves this 'verse should tell you something about the strength of the narrative itself. It's written in a non-linear point of view, but far from being confusing, it has the effect of being put together like a jigsaw puzzle, because that it exactly what's happening. That single prompt from the synopsis up there ballooned into 8-and-running stories in what's become known as the Lizzyverse - Lizzy being the name of John and Sherlock's daughter by adoption. Her age is mutable, and is the timeline for the stories; such-and-such a thing happens at five, or seven, or eighteen, or three. Sherlock has a rather... unorthodox method of parenting, which John finds exasperating and expected at once, but it works, and it's adorable, and because of it, Lizzy is not a child. Innocent, sure, naive and unknowning at times, yes, but not a child. She knows too much about how the world works to be considered a ''child.''

* ''Pairing'': Sherlock/John
* ''Synopsis'': John dies in Afghanistan and returns to 221 B Baker Street as a ghost. Then Sherlock moves in.
* ''Comments'': This fic takes a novelty premise and turns it into something genuinely beautiful. Sherlock and John are perfectly in character, and it's amazing to watch as their relationship progresses. This story will leave you with a melancholy ache in your chest and tears threatening your eyes, but also with a firm sense of optimism and a genuinely good feeling. Required reading for anyone with taste.
