I don't think I've read any for Sherlock yet, except for the lovely Molly/Sally fic you linked to (which was pure <3.)
I seek out a lot of fic for book/movie-verse Holmes, which is my real fandom, that has Holmes's dickishness comes back to bite him in the butt. (I've found some good post-Reichenbach fics where Watson is all "What. You selfish ass. GTFO.") I also often end up reading a lot of h/c fic (not usually my genre) that hurts Holmes and puts him into a position where he's forced to rely on others and deal with his own helplessness. It's not a systemic deconstruction of the story dynamic, which I would be very interested in reading, but it usually scratches the itch for me.
One fic that I love and that I consider somewhat deconstructive (not sure how intentional it is on the author's part) is Feather Fish's The Baker Street Record. It's a crossover with House of Leaves and I really love how it puts Holmes in contact with something supernatural that categorically resists being rationalized, and in the process shows how ill equipped Holmes is to deal with that, and how his attempts to proceed rationally anyway are kind of wrong-headed and dangerous.
