Title: The Possibility of the Improbable
Link: http://holmestice.livejournal.com/371472.html?view=3174160#t3174160
Characters/Pairings: Sherlock Holmes, Dr. John Watson, various OCs
Rating: G
Summary: The case of the vanishing boomerang appeared at first to be a trivial matter. But it revealed an aspect of Sherlock Holmes’ past that shed new light on his character – and only many years later did its true impact begin to come to light.

Rec: Absolutely perfect crossover (to say with what would be spoiling), charmingly written in an authentic and masterful voice, with plenty of delightful surprises in store.

Title: Someone at the scent of orange blossom
Link: http://holmestice.livejournal.com/380482.html
Characters/Pairings: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, past John Watson/Mary Morstan
Rating: PG
Summary: During the years of Holmes’s absence, Watson’s hands had changed.

Rec: A gorgeous, complex piece about old and new love, gardens, and bonds that transcend a lifetime.

Title: The Golden Bird
Link: http://holmestice.livejournal.com/380223.html
Characters/Pairings: Holmes/Watson
Rating: PG
Summary: Once, when I was young and as yet completely unknown to the public, and my association with John Watson was in its early days, I found myself trapped in a cupboard with an unconscious ruffian and a female thief for company.

Rec: Framed as a casefic based on a throwaway line from the original stories, this is a very fun piece with a fantastic female OC and some quiet yet far-reaching realizations about Holmes and Watson's relationship.

Title: Waiting
Link: http://holmestice.livejournal.com/379489.html
Characters/Pairings: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Rating: PG-13 (language)
Summary: Watson is laid low, and a lot of people are affected by that.

Rec: The author's skill in portraying all the different voices in this piece is astonishing to behold. It's like having several fics in one, each one a delight in itself, but taken all together they create a masterful portrait of a relationship and a life together.
