Summary
How did Holly Munro come to be the perfectionist, slightly neurotic individual we see in the books? Why did she train to become an agent? How did she join Rotwell? There's so little of her backstory in canon. Here's my (completely invented) take on her life before Lockwood and Co. These are snippets from Holly's childhood and young adulthood, revealing key formative experiences that shaped her into the character we know.
Excerpt from Ch. 8: Ranged around the iron circle were the ghostly figures of seven massive hounds. They were powerfully built, with barrel-chests and muscular limbs coated in thick, coal-black fur. Their baleful eyes gleamed red, and their open mouths revealed a multitude of razor-sharp, yellowed teeth. As Holly watched, greenish drool dripped from the slavering jaws of the dog closest to her and oozed, hissing, to the cellar floor. There was a moment of stillness as the hounds considered them with cocked heads, their blood-red tongues lolling.
Then they leapt. -

A silly one-shot of Opal Koboi in prison, enjoying her just desserts. Sometimes, that's just the kind of pick-me-up one needs. :)

Summary
Christmas time. 'Tis the season to settle down with a drink, some food and a present or two, and to enjoy the quiet relaxation of the holiday. Instead, there's a case that drags them all over, missing presents, disappointed kids, angry parents, and a freak snowfall.
On top of that John has to deal with Sherlock, who is being even more of a prat than usual.
He really shouldn't have expected anything different.

"Not dead."
This year, there are more surprises in store.

Summary
"Look at us! I'm straight, you keep severed heads in the fridge, it's hardly a match made in heaven."
From the prompt: "In a world where people report being generally unsatisfied with their romantic lives and divorces are at an all time high, the quality of relationships are plummeting. Healthy relationships lead to happy citizens, which ultimately help form a better society and country. So, the British government has decided to take matters into hand by setting up a program to match a person with their best possible romantic partner."- Language:
