I can't rec Beneath These Skies by Bendingsignpost enough, the summary really doesn't do it justice.
http://archiveofourown.org/works/545209/chapters/970254
An ex-soldier-turned-healer, a priest, and an unhorsed knight flee for their lives after the invasion of their homeland. John didn't expect the road to safety to be easy, but the addition of a petite mage and a scowling former prisoner to their small band opens his eyes to horrors beyond imagining.

Kinkmeme fic The Prince of Aquitaine before his ruined Tower by Not_your_god

John's a selkie who disappeared post-Richenbach and now that Sherlock's back he has to find him again.

Stranger at the Gate by Bendingsignpost
http://bendingsignpost.livejournal.com/21869.html
As far as initiation rites go, kidnapping a human doctor from a defended town ought to seem extreme. When James Moriarty offers him the challenge, Sherlock never considers saying no. (Medieval/Fantasy vampire AU)

Edited to add:
The Beast of Baskerville by Mildredandbobbin
http://archiveofourown.org/works/680998/chapters/1249085
15th Century/fairy tale AU. An invalided John Watson comes to the isolated village of Baskerville seeking shelter with his sister, only to find himself embroiled in a grisly murder. As the villagers point to a local werewolf legend, the odd but brilliant friar, Brother Sherlock, disagrees, and soon he and John are on the the trail of a very human murderer. As the killer takes another victim, fear and suspicion grips the village, culminating in the arrival of Inquisitor, Friar James Moriarty, who proves more terrible than any supernatural beast could ever be.
It's a WIP though!
