Penumbra is a fusion of Sherlock and Dark Shadows. Do you remember Dark Shadows?

In Maine, there was Collinwood and the three centuries of history that were woven into its walls. In London, there is Holmeswood Manor (or the Manor on Baker Street as the urban legends have it), tucked now into a city street when once its oak woods rolled from the heath to the river.

John grew up with its stories of ghosts and wizards and things that hunt in the night. They certainly didn’t keep him from interviewing for a residential post at the Manor because he couldn’t afford London on an army pension and was sure there couldn’t be any truth to those strange, old tales.

During Series One, John gained insight into those tales while he considered whether he would make the Manor his home. A year on, in Series Two, we visit a wiser John, who has come to appreciate that the stories hadn’t half prepared him for the truth. And they had never, ever mentioned anyone remotely like Sherlock.

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.

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.”
