magnetic_pole* Sherlock, series 3.
Sherlock continues to underwhelm. Fewer plot twists, fewer Bond moments, more thinking, please!
* However. There is always fandom. A lovely meditation on a key question from "The Sign of Three,"
Who leaves a wedding early?

what_alchemy, Sherlock/John, Mrs Hudson/Margaret, a tag for "unrequited love," general audience, 1800 words
After John’s wedding, Sherlock catches an overnight train to Scotland.
This story satisfies on so many levels: there's the back story for Mrs Hudson, of course, but also the kind of rounding out of themes raised in canon that's only possible when you begin to take minor characters and their problems seriously. It's also an oblique critique of observation and deduction as problem-solving, which I appreciated.
* Finally, I'm upset about something in RL right now and feeling like there's no one to call to talk about it. I need to remember that 1) that's probably not true, and 2) even if it is, I can take steps to remedy this situation. Just typing this here to remind myself.
