I love pennypaperbrain's Four Corners of the Western World series. The second of four fics, Malta Bright, is almost done. For full disclosure I am one of her betas, but I beta because she is an amazing author and I want first access.

She has a talent for hyper-realistic BDSM relationships, including the good, the bad and the ugly. In the FCotWW she is exploring a budding post-Reichenbach Johnlock relationship, Sherlock's post-trauma mental health (a must read for anyone with an interest in bipolar disorder), and the duo's race to take down the rest of Moriarty's network.

And she is doing it flawlessly...

Read it Here at AO3. (http://archiveofourown.org/series/21906)

A couple of WIP recs in honor of Halloween:

Skeletons (http://archiveofourown.org/works/538297/chapters/956006) by flawedamythyst This is a crossover with. . . well, that would be telling. Nicely spooky with a great characterization of Sherlock, Mycroft, and Sherringford. This story is being updated regularly, and the author plans to complete it on Halloween, so it's a perfect read for the season!

Another crossover The Loss of Flesh and Soul (http://archiveofourown.org/works/387339/chapters/634699) by deuxexmycroft hasn't been as regularly updated, but is still worth a read even if it's never completed. It's a fusion with Silence of the Lambs/Red Dragon, with Sherlock in the Hannibal Lector role. Very disturbing to see how easily Sherlock slides into that space, and even more disturbing to see how his feelings for John are transferred here. There's all the warnings you'd expect from this crossover, so read at your own risk!
