crossovers

Are thoughts of Halloween creeping up on you? It means Classic Recs is coming too!

A month from now at midnight GMT on October 28 (6 PM EST in the U.S. on Oct 27) we’ll be holding our 11th annual Halloween celebration through all the time zones until midnight November 1. This means five days for you to bring your all-time favorite recs of fics, vids, graphics, anything and everything fandom has produced in all the Whedon fandoms! All time periods before 2017 are eligible for posting and, as always, crossover content is A-OK, so get those lists ready!

We also want to alert anyone already familiar with us that following the movement of many people to Dreamwidth, either primarily or exclusively, we are encouraging posts to the

buffyversetop5 account here. So we hope to see names old and new here soon! Let us know if you have any questions.

Title: Lepidoptera
Author:

saki101
Fandoms: Sherlock Holmes BBC/A Midsummer Night's Dream - Shakespeare
Characters/Pairings: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, Mrs Hudson, Mycroft Holmes, Mike Stamford, Titania, Puck, Oberon
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Slash, magical realism
Word Count: ~18K
Disclaimer: Neither A Midsummer Night's Dream nor Sherlock is mine and no money is being made.
Summary: Mike introduces John to Mrs Hudson, who has a room to let. Sherlock resides in Regent's Park when he's in London. It's only a short flight to Baker Street.
Notes: A stand-alone AU of the Sherlock universe crossed with A Midsummer Night's Dream written for the Spook-Me Multi-Fandom Halloween Ficathon in response to the prompt: dark faeries.

Warning: Strange things ahead (blood-drinking moths, for example).

Excerpt: “Nothing ever happens to me,” John said, meeting Ella’s detached gaze. He could look someone straight in the eye and not give away a thing. The skill had been as valuable in his career as when he played poker. His therapist glanced down to scratch at her notebook. She had perfected the same technique.

John looked beyond her. Outside the firmly closed windows, bare tree branches scratched at the pale grey page of the sky.

"Anymore," he added silently.

Title: The Apothecaries' Garden
Author:

saki101
Fandoms: Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle/Rappaccini's Daughter - Nathaniel Hawthorne
Characters/Pairings: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, Mrs Hudson, Mike Stamford
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Slash, historical fiction
Word Count: ~10.4K
Disclaimer: Neither Rappaccini's Daughter nor the Sherlock Holmes stories are mine and no money is being made.
Summary: Watson hopes to distract Holmes during a lull between cases by reading him a Hawthorne story involving doctors and poisons.
Notes: I always felt Rappaccini's Daughter could have ended differently.

Excerpt: Over the top of my newspaper, I watched Holmes rise from his seat. He walked to the window and peered out, his pipe clenched between his teeth. It was the third time he had made the journey to the window in a quarter hour. I waited for his announcement of a visitor. I listened for the sound of carriage wheels, the knock upon the downstairs door. The street remained quiet, the door-knocker still, even the lowering clouds I could see above the buildings over the road held in their rain.

Title: Homo Faber
Author:

saki101
Fandoms: Sherlock BBC/Frankenstein
Characters/Pairings: Dr. Sherlock Holmes/Col. John Watson, Mrs Hudson, Mike Stamford, Victor, OCs
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Slash, drama, historical fiction
Word Count: ~13.1K
Disclaimer: Neither Frankenstein nor Sherlock is mine and no money is being made.
Summary: What if Dr Frankenstein had had Dr Watson to keep him right? A story in which Sherlock's mother's maiden name is Frankenstein and Dr Watson has been invalided home towards the end of the Napoleonic Wars...
Notes: The seed for this story was planted when I saw the play, Frankenstein, with Mr Cumberbatch in the role of the scientist, and thought that every genius needs a John Watson.

Excerpt: “We are all egoists,” he said. “Every child likes to hear the story of his beginnings, the tale of his parents’ courtship, the events surrounding his birth, the parts of his story he cannot know himself.”

Fandoms: Sherlock/Arthurian Mythology
Characters/Pairings: Sherlock Holmes/Molly Hooper, Mycroft Holmes & OFC in these parts
Rating: PG so far

He tasks his brother to find out just what is going on, which leads to the discovery of a long lost colony of an ancient race who are normally peaceful but are being manipulated by an unscrupulous businessman with plans for taking what he believes to be rightfully his.
