Magic & Mystery – Halloween 2016
(Not-too-spooky Johnlock tales)
********
Lightning and Sea Glass by 221b_careful_what_you_wish_for, 18
k, explicit. The mad Professor Moriarty
and his reluctant assistant John Watson have reanimated the dead – and the
results are beautiful. At least John thinks so. When Moriarty rejects his
creation, John disappears with the creature to protect it, sealing their fates
together. (Loosely inspired by Mary
Shelley’s Frankenstein)Once Upon a Beast Becoming by antietamfalls, 24 k words. Teen. Magical AU. Reworking of “Beauty and the
Beast.” An act of pride, a druid’s
curse, an enchanted leaf; Sherlock’s torment has lasted an age. Hope arrives in
the form of one John Watson, a man uniquely suited to break the spell. But with
a single night to win his affections, Sherlock finds his carefully laid plans
disrupted by a monstrous killer whose sights are set on the only thing he has
left to lose: John.The Straw Man Fallacy by
Vulgarweed, 40 k, explicit. Crossover with “The WickerMan” movie. Just
wonderful! Sherlock and John have been lured to solve the mystery of the
disappeared police officer on SummerIsle. It turns out that they are the new
sacrifice! Ritual public sex – John in antlers and a kilt, Sherlock in a flower
wreathe and white robe. Oh GODS YES!Skeletons by
flawedamythyst, 57 k, teen. Sherlock is
an odd flatmate, but John wouldn’t trade him for anyone. Gradually they become
more than just flatmates sliding into a relationship of sorts though Sherlock’s
past remains a mystery and his aversion to celebrating any holidays at the flat
remain strange. Fusion with a well-known movie, very Halloween in flavor.I used to live alone before I knew you by etothepii, Good Omens/Sherlock fusion. 11 k, teen. The one
where Mycroft is an angel, Sherlock is a demon, and John is still John.The Boy Who Drank Stars by kinklock, 36 k, explicit. A gorgeous fairy tale of a fic fusion with
“Howl’s Moving Castle.” The author drew from both the story and the movie to
make this amazing magical tale of the mysterious Wizard Howl, and wounded
veteran John Watson who stumbles upon him. Magicial, sweet, mysterious – this
is an all-around winner!Well, That Bites by mydwynter, 1.9 k, mature. Vamplock is out dancing, just
oozing across the club, and Moriarty is furious that it isn’t with him. Great
little magical creatures AU in a gay bar. What more could you want?The Stars Move Still by beautifulfiction, 96 k, explicit. Sherlock is a powerful mage, and though
John is skilled as a healer, he’s an average mage at best. Together though,
they can combine their energies to create something simply amazing. Morarity is
a demon they must defeat to save all, and the sprites in this story are
adorable!The Detective and the Demon
by oreganotea, 2 k, gen.
“Every demon on record is described as either monstrously terrifying or
breathtakingly beautiful,” Sherlock says. “I have never heard of a demon with a
forgettable face and a propensity for ugly jumpers.”A Soldier’s Instinct by bees_stories, 1 k, teen. Every soldier
has a survival instinct; that voice in his head or his gut that tells him when
a situation isn’t quite right and that he should tread with care. But on a
London street, John experiences something much more profound.John Watson’s Moon by
patternofdefiance, 11 k, explicit. John was turned into a werewolf while
fighting in Afghanistan. He returns to London unable to find an acceptable
place in society. He moves in with Sherlock and even though John is feeling
happier than he has in a while, he is still not fully comfortable having his
wolf around Sherlock.Sic Gorgiamos Allos
Subjectatos Nunc, by etothepii (Sherlock/The Addams Family) 5
k, teen. “Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc. It’s the family motto.”
“What does it mean?” “We gladly feast on those who would subdue us.” Wonderful
backstory on John and his unusual family. (1st in series)The Case of the Two Apparitions by trickybonmot, 3 k, mature.
In an effort to alleviate the stress of John’s family life, Sherlock takes him
along to investigate the (probably) fictitious haunting of an old country
house. However, the mystery turns out to be deeper than Sherlock could have
guessed, as some paranormal events are not so easily explained after all. Angst,
dubcon.Man and Beast by Jupiter_Ash, 19 k, explicit. AU. Sherlock is a
werewolf being held and experimented on in some secret lab. When they toss a
prisoner in with him at full moon, unexpected things happen. Sherlock finds his
mate in John Watson.Stranger at the Gate
by bendingsignposts,
85
k, explicit. Sherlock is a vampire, but he must convince John, a guard at the
gate, that he is human to gain entry to the village. Sherlock comes to care for
this brave little guard, and worries that John will not like the truth when he
finds it. Angsty, violent, dubcon, hot.The
Contract by twistedthicket1, 10 k, explicit. On the eve of the day
in which the divide between the spirit world and the Earth becomes thinnest,
Captain John Watson is intent on making sure that no Demons will make it past
the gate. The village of Baker is heavily fortified, a veritable fortress
against the evils that are scheduled to arrive. On the other side of the world,
Sherlock is an incubus with a problem. He has no sexual desire.Hellfire by testosterone_tea, 28 K, explicit. Sherlock
is a Mage that gets involved with a case involving Dark Summoning rituals,
leading him to John Watson, a man with Berserker blood. The only thing is,
Berserkers have been extinct for centuries. And of course, nothing involving
Mycroft and his interfering ways is ever simple. This time, even Sherlock may
have bitten off more than he can handle.the shape of the shadows that
detach from the walls by wendlaa,
13 k, explicit. John and Sherlock never met so Sherlock ends up as one of the
serial suicide victims. This is not the end however as Sherlock becomes a ghost
who meets John later. Eventually a relationship develops. Lots of feelings and
angst, but a happy ending.Johnloctober by
prettysailorsoldier, 169 k, explicit. 31
chapters – a series of prompts one for each day of October. Very cute stuff!
