Hm, I can't remember what you've read before. You've read the Grace-series, I assume? 

Then there is the long Scotland-series ( http://archiveofourown.org/series/232869 ). I've only read the first fic of that series, but absolutely loved it. I've been following and saving the other two fics for a rainy day. (Which reminds me, should read them soon!)

No, the Grace series doesn't sound familiar, and I haven't read the Scotland series, so THANK YOU!!!  

I discovered an interesting AU, Sherlock and Sixth Sense crossover version of ASiP. Well written and very original:

De profundis[/url] (32036 words) by [url=http://archiveofourown.org/users/darcylindbergh]darcylindbergh
Chapters: 7/7
Fandom: Sherlock (TV), The Sixth Sense (1999)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Characters: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, Greg Lestrade, Mycroft Holmes, Mrs Hudson

Summary: 

Sherlock Holmes sees dead people. Which, although not necessarily ideal, has mostly turned out to be fine.

Or, it was, until one day he looks up, and sees John Watson.

I'm reading it now (I'm at around 60%) and it's very entertaining and intriguing. Thanks for the rec.

So I started reading some heartwarming Christmas fics and here is lovely little one (good times, guaranteed Mary-free):

Last Christmas[/url] (3911 words) by [url=http://archiveofourown.org/users/Mazarin221b]Mazarin221b
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Sherlock (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Additional Tags: Christmas, Fluff, Prompt Fic, sherlock is a genius, Sherlock is also an idiot, First Kiss
Summary: 

Written for Merlinlefay, who won me in the FuckYeahJohnLockFanfic 10,000 Followers Giveaway. Her prompt was: "I’ve been listening to Christmas songs a lot lately and Wham’s “Last Christmas” comes to mind. I’m a sucker for angst, but I’d appreciate a happy ending, if possible!”  Well, it may not be as angsty as you like, but trust me, I nailed the happy ending. Merry Christmas!

  

    That Earth-shaking revelation, then, leads to a problem, and one that Sherlock realizes should be solved quickly, before John’s dates turn into girlfriends or boyfriends, because sometimes girlfriends or boyfriends can turn into wives or husbands while your back is turned. Every time John hums happily at the mirror as he shaves, splashes on a little gift cologne Mrs. Hudson bought him for Christmas, Sherlock is drawn back to that night by the fire, and the way John’s touch had made the world stand still.

Just read this, it was lovely! 

Oh, yes, I am sure they do. 

And I am glad you liked it.

And here is something for the heart:

If Equal Affection Cannot Be[/url] (31158 words) by [url=http://archiveofourown.org/users/blueink3]blueink3
Chapters: 3/3
Fandom: Sherlock (TV)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Characters: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, Rosamund Mary "Rosie" Watson, Mrs. Hudson (Sherlock Holmes)
Additional Tags: Family, Angst, Reunions, Nothing exists after TLD, Retirementlock, Sussex, Fluff, Sexy Times, Post-Season/Series 04, Sherlock (TV) Season/Series 04 Fix-it, Loneliness, Happy Ending
Summary: 

Sherlock fled London a couple of years after John left him in hospital with nothing but an old walking stick and a half-hearted goodbye. 

Rosie grew up thinking that Sherlock died when he committed suicide in front of her father by jumping from Barts' roof. 

So it's somewhat awkward when they run into each other in a Sussex general store between the loaves of bread and the Mars bars...

Loving the premise already. It's next on my list. 

I just finished the sensation of falling as you hit sleep, which probably all of you have read but for some reason (poor summary, probably) I kept skipping. I looooved it despite the angsty angst. 
 

Bookmarked all three latest recs here. :D

I tried the author's download link but it does not work for me. So I chose the one provided by AO3. Hope it works.

Thank you.
