[[http://www.hwslash.net/content/under.html Under the Desk]] by Telanu (PWP)
* Recommended by [[Tropers/{{NaomiHansen}} Naomi Hansen]]
* Synopsis: The bare facts are that Holmes thinks Watson is snubbing him for some reason, but Watson is planning a surprise for Holmes.
* It's a short, simple little PWP fic (that doesn't seem to follow any specific canon), but… God, I'm still blushing just thinking about it, and this is coming from a reader that takes pride in keeping calm through stuff like this. It's certainly recommended, although for you younger readers, let it be known that it ''is'' rated NC-17 by the author.

He roomed at a respectable house run by a retired army sergeant and his wife, and he sent home part of his pay every month to his old dad who was out in Weymouth.***

* Type: Angst, Hurt/Comfort
* Status: complete, one-shot
* Synopsis: Holmes hits a rough patch just after Watson's wedding. Warnings: drug abuse, withdrawal.
* Comments: It is a dramatic, nice fic that has everyone in character and even have a few elements from the literature. While it is angsty, there are a few light moments that help balance it out with some nice Holmes and Watson banter and a few lovely friendship moments between Holmes and Mary.
* Pairing: Watson/Mary

** Told in the Watsonian style, one really feels as though Watson himself wrote this, although the use of footnotes does crack the illusion quite a bit. This story is something intriguing and attention-grabbing. No questions said; it is a tragedy. Take it like it is.

Pairing Holmes/Violet Hunter
**As Sherlock Holmes investigates an enigmatic doctor who makes extraordinary claims, he uncovers a fiendish web of dark crime. Can he & Watson unravel it before danger overtakes them? And what role does ex-client Violet Hunter play?
*Neither crude nor crud, this is pure Sherlock Holmes. The leading lady features in one of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, and is true to Conan-Doyle's representation of her.

*** Speaking as someone who has never read House of Leaves and didn't really like Holmes/Watson before she read this fic, it is absolutely amazing. I would say it's the best fanfic ever written, but I'm not sure that description does this work justice. Best fanwork ever is probably more accurate.

*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.

* Recommended by millernumber1.
* Type: Friendship, AU, shipping
* Status: complete, one-shot
* Synopsis: An AU look at what might have happened in Switzerland, from the prompt "What if Mary Watson didn't die during the Hiatus?"
* Comments: Incredibly dramatic, well written, and one of the few Watson/Mary shipping fics that doesn't go for the angst of the seemingly canon death of Watson's wife during the Hiatus. Deserves many, many reviews (and possibly encouragements for a follow up!).
* Pairing: Watson/Mary

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6096601/1/ A Study in Rum]]'' by Nytd
* 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 PiratesOfTheCaribbean 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.

* Recommended by Polaris
* 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 ([[http://www.liquidfic.net/fullofgrace.html Full of Grace]] deals with Oscar Wilde's imprisonment; [[http://www.liquidfic.net/presburyletters.html The Presbury Letters]] with WorldWarOne). My personal favorite is [[http://www.liquidfic.net/threefavours.html The Three Favors]], which deals with Holmes' return to London after Reichenbach.
