A note that Katie Forsythe/Wordstrings deleted their LJs: Whereas Wordstrings' works are now all on A03, Katie's incomparable Holmes and Watson fics can still be found here (http://liquidfic.org/katie.html). And here's a master post (http://innominerosae.tumblr.com/post/46196260675/a-guide-to-katie-forsythes-sherlock-holmes-fics) showing which series the fics belong to, as that info isn't included on the LiquidFic site.
Some WIPs I am enjoying:
Midnight Blue Serenity (http://archiveofourown.org/works/635897) (43919 words) by BeautifulFiction (http://archiveofourown.org/users/BeautifulFiction) Rating: Explicit Warnings: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson Characters: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson Additional Tags: Case Fic, Unresolved Sexual Tension, Pining, Drug Use, Disguise, Sherlock makes a sexy bartender, Catching a date-rapist serial killer is never easy, Friends to Lovers Summary: “This was like nothing John had ever thought to associate with Sherlock: stubble, skin-tight jeans and three small silver rings gleaming at the crest of one ear. It was unbelievable, like stepping into an alternative universe, and John couldn't stop staring.” When Sherlock infiltrates a club in order to track down a serial killer, his altered appearance is enough to make John question his assumption that Sherlock is beyond his reach. However, he is not the only one to appreciate his flat-mate's charms. The killer is looking for his fifth victim, and Sherlock might prove irresistible.

Lestrade learns he is Sherlock's biological father. Not crack. Nice characterization: archea2's Wise Child (http://archea2.livejournal.com/72955.html). S/J pre-slash. Six chapters so far.
