due South: Ghost Song by exeterlinden
Nov. 16th, 2025 11:05 pmFandom: due South
Characters/Pairings: Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski, Diefenbaker, Victoria
Rating: author's rating is ?NC-17 for angst and violent imagery. I'd rate it Mature.
Length: 9998
Content Notes: see rating note above. No AO3 warnings apply.
Creator Links: exeterlinden on AO3, exeterlinden on DW
Themes: Mystery and Suspense, Mythical Creatures: werewolves, Angst with a happy ending, Friends to lovers, AU: fork in the road
Summary: It appears on the fire escape one late evening in early winter, big and dark and silent.
Reccer's Notes: This gripping and spooky story starts with a different version of Fraser's chase and snowy huddling with Victoria, then segues into current (AU) canon with Ray Kowalski baffled by the big, black, mysterious, wolflike dog that intermittently appears on his fire escape, trying to get in, sometimes with Dief trying to chivvy it away. Also, Fraser's been distancing himself, and when he finds out about the dog's visits he's most unhappy. Things get weirder, and Fraser gets weirder, and then Victoria returns to push them all into crisis. The ending took me by surprise, and I liked it a lot! An excellent read.

Sherlock Holmes: The Case Of The Stolen Doctor by Flawedamythyst
Nov. 9th, 2025 08:46 pmFandom: Sherlock Holmes (books)
Pairings/Characters: Holmes/Watson
Rating: T
Length: 47,061 words
Creator Links: Flawedamythyst
Theme: Mystery & Suspense, casefic
Summary: Moriarty kidnaps Watson.
Reccer's Notes: Watson is kidnapped by Moriarty. The story cycles between two POVs, Watson's and Holmes'. We follow Holmes as he does everything he can to find Watson, and Watson as he tries his best to survive as a prisoner. I will say Moriarty was actually menacing in this story, not watered down like some portrayals, and there is a lot suspense about if Holmes will be able to rescue Watson in time before something terrible occurs.

SGA: In Heaven and Earth by Sholio
Nov. 10th, 2025 12:02 amFandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard, Rodney McKay
Rating: G
Length: 1800
Content Notes: no AO3 warnings apply
Creator Links: Sholio on AO3, Sholio's old SGA website
Themes: Mystery and suspense, Genfic, Ghosts
Summary: It gets bloody creepy here at night.
Reccer's Notes: This is an interesting story about Atlantis remembering her dead, and indeed those still living, in a somewhat troubling way. At first it's unclear how it's happening, but gradually John figures out it's just the city, haunted, and haunting them. Nicely creepy.
