Summary
It's January 1953, and John is spending the night at Violet's, a gay bar. Her usual routine (drinking beer, chatting up femmes, playing billiards with mates Mike and Billy) is interrupted by a stranger who seems to be able to read through John's very soul. They share a dance, and a bed, and soon enough John is ready to share her life with this person. The problem is that there might be too much darkness inside John's beloved.

Summary
This is for Ivy Blossom’s classic fic, The Progress of Sherlock Holmes - as a way of saying thank you.
I don’t know how many people joined the fandom because of this fic, but, judging from my own feelings about it, I suppose there are many.
Starts off angsty, eventually turns happy.

Post-S2 Crowley has a lot of
feelingsfelinesbooze.*
Crowley is fine. Really, he's FINE. Tickety-boo. He can manage on his own. He certainly doesn’t need a pet. What kind of demon has a pet, anyway?

Summary
The city was hard to settle on. With the start of the holiday rush, Crowley got just as busy as Aziraphale, though they'd begun to notice over time that their duties tended to take them into the same territory every couple of weeks. Even a few centuries ago, this might have been an irritation, but in recent years, they'd come to value it as a convenience—and a necessity. It was late November, and, finally, after three weeks of comparing abnormally erratic schedules, they were both set to be heading north.

Summary
Our story begins right after John and Sherlock's first meeting with Irene Adler in September. It splits off into an AU that imagines them taking a case where they act as bait to hook a killer targeting closeted gays in secret relationships. In the weeks leading up to Christmas, many things happen that have our boys wondering if maybe they have a chance with each other. Then Irene fakes her death on Christmas Eve, and things get a lot more complicated - especially since they still have a killer to catch.

Nothing Is Funnier Than Precarity; Or, Martin Crieff's Quest for Dignity in a Post-Prosperity World by PlaidAdder
Fandoms: Cabin Pressure
15 May 2015

Summary
“Cabin Pressure” started airing in July 2008, towards the end of a year-long process of economic implosion that we now refer to as the Global Financial Crisis (or Collapse, or Crash). And whether Finnemore was thinking about this at all or not, to me it seems as if the whole show is an exploration of life after prosperity, with special reference to the problem of achieving masculinity in a world where not only affluence but even financial stability are out of reach for an increasingly huge number of people. Over the course of its four seasons is goes from being a wickedly funny exposition of the reality of precarity–the condition in which 99% of the world population finds itself in the aftermath of the GFC–to a fantasy about escaping from it. And although all the characters are involved in this story, the protagonist–and the one who comes closest, in the end, to leaving precarity behind–is Martin Crieff.
