Summary
Three years after he's forced to witness Jim's suicide, Sebastian is still trying to fit the remaining pieces of himself back together. January finds him settled in a deep, remote stretch of Dartmoor where tourists rarely venture. With hundreds of empty miles to explore, a wild geology dappled with wetlands and tors, prehistoric ruins, and places of myth and legend- this is as far from the bone-deep ache of London as he's capable of. Seb is under no delusions that things will get better with time; they never do. But they can get different, and that's just about bearable.
These days, it feels less like Jim is standing on a rock hurtling through space on a constant trajectory, and more like he’s falling headlong towards the edge of the universe. Untethered by anything; unsure of how to calculate the moment-to-moment physics of life. There’s a thought caught up in the spiderweb of scar tissue at the back of his head, present from the moment he woke; Sebastian Moran is not important. Why, then, does he know so much about the man? Why does Jim alternate between waking up screaming with how much he hates him, and feeling hollowed out by what feels like a Sebastian-shaped hole?

Summary
'For Greyskull's honour, Meowmeow! Who the devil are they?! The fellows staring at us, I mean.'
'Those would be our potential readers, sir. They wish to assess our story. We must inform them that the tale updates regularly and content warnings are listed in the relevant chapter's notes. Volume 1 runs to Chapter 26; Volume 2 to 39; Volume 3 from 40. Mature chapters are flagged in their introduction, the rest are Teen and Up.'
'Ah, yes! Readers. What Ho! Smashing to meet you - I'm Adora. Sir Adora de l'Horde, third Baronet, to be quite exact. And that other dashing madam? My gentlewoman's gentlewoman, Meowmeow. Oh... hang on. Old habits, old bean! I should rather say--- my girlfriend Catra. You're about to learn just quite how that came to be, from the very beginning. Plenty more thunders on around it too, what with my pal Bowregard, Her Ladyship Glimmer, and the whole cadre of lesbians we stumbled into. Oh, and the gender business. It all starts with the um... How do you say it, Meowmeow?'
'Indictment for theft of a marine vehicle, sir.'
'No, no, not that. The um... The meet-cute! So strap on your buckled shoes, dust down your pinstripes, and away to the city streets of London in our year 1930.'

Ballisterlock Holmes IN The Nimound of the Baskervilles by SleeveGartersSapphic
Fandoms: Nimona (2023), Nimona (Webcomic), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms

Summary
It's Nimona - It's Sherlock Holmes - It's dysfunctional queers and explosions in a temporally-confused mega-city
Ballisterlock Holmes is a brooding consulting detective with a broken heart, until his latest assistant arrives. She's a SHARK!! Sometimes. Watson is there too, being put upon and navigating his relationship with Holmes. But Holmes has three passions greater than John: cleansing the seedy underbelly of the United The Kingdom; proving just how clever he is; and finally settling matters with the Gloreth of Crime - Professor Ambrosius Gold Loiniarty. Nimona is going to make them all happen. By any means necessary.
A multi-part AU that draws on Nimona the 2023 movie, Nimona the webcomic, and most of the ACD Sherlock Holmes stories. Updates regularly. Content warnings in the notes.
If you like this, maybe try my other ongoing fic? It's also ND Stevenson characters mashed into classic British lit - The Inimitable Meowmeow, it's Catradora but they're Jeeves & Wooster...

i think this person has gone off the deep end as thoroughly as i did with dinotopia/sherlock and I Must Know More (this is a compliment)

And They Were (the Worst) Roommates! by anotherpassingfancy
Fandoms: The Locked Tomb Series | Gideon the Ninth Series - Tamsyn Muir

Summary
It’s her second year at Canaan University, and Gideon is finally coming into her own. She has a full athletic scholarship, best friends Pal and Cam, and a found family with the Pents and Terrible Teens. She shares a locker room with her hot teammate Corona, who even knows her name.
Gideon is happy.
And then she meets her new roommate, Harrowhark Nonagesimus, who is the absolute worst. (The feeling is decidedly mutual.)
It certainly doesn’t seem so to either at first, but this is going to turn out to be a good thing for both of them.
Eventually.
