Supernatural/Horror Fics

[gaslightscribe.livejournal.com]

Can anyone point me in the direction of supernatural themed fics of any description for either BBC Sherlock or ACD Canon? It can be something with a rational explanation as per Hound of the Baskervilles - or vampires, werewolves, ghosts, spooky atmosphere, AUs, crossovers, etc. Non-slash only, please!

Thanks in advance for any recs :)

This is a magical realism one that is technically gen although it does have very strong pre-slash overtones.

Breathe (21146 words) by StoneWingedAngel
Chapters: 12/12
Fandom: Sherlock (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: could be seen as Sherlock/John pre-slash or just a really strong bromance
Characters: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, Mycroft Holmes
Additional Tags: Angst, Magical Realism
Summary:

Sherlock knows he has to die. He knows that his job is going to be dangerous, long, exhausting; that he’s going to get damaged. And so, desperate and alone, he gives John his soul, little knowing the consequences will be enough to drive them both to breaking point.

This is a sci-fi one that's based on the Alien movies. It's labeled as Johnlock but nothing happens between them and it can be read as friendship:

Mummy Holmes was admiral of the British space fleet, and her sons were gestated in a synthetic womb called an AGU. When something monstrous burst out of a lieutenant's chest and got loose on board a ship carrying the Holmes family, the unborn second son and was left on board.

A quarter of a century later, the Orbiter 200B is a floating wreck on the edge of the colonised territory. Mycroft Holmes sends Lestrade and a Royal Navy special ops vehicle, the Baker, to the abandoned ship to learn what can be salvaged.

And here's a zombie-fic:

No one knows where the virus started. No one knows how to stop it, either. But Sherlock will find a solution. He always does. Or he'd better, because otherwise he's going to be short a flatmate. Zombie AU based off of a LJ Kinkmeme prompt. This is the first of two arcs.

I just recced this one over on reading221b. Definitely supernatural - it's a creepy sort of fairy tale - and thoroughly wonderful. (No pairings, slash or otherwise.)

Title: All My Secrets Away (http://archiveofourown.org/works/196871) (8504 words) by travels_in_time (http://archiveofourown.org/users/travels_in_time/pseuds/travels_in_time)
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Sherlock (TV)
Rating: Rated for general audiences, but does have one instance of strong language.
Warnings: Author chose not to use archive warnings.
Characters: Lestrade; also Sherlock Holmes, Mycroft Holmes, John Watson.

Summary:

Author's note: Written for a prompt on the kinkmeme: "Lestrade doesn't have a first name. He gave it away in exchange for _____?"

Each time Greg Lestrade faces a crisis, a mysterious figure offers to help - but only if he'll sacrifice something meaningful. The problem is, he's running out of things to give.

This story was written in 2011 and was lightly jossed by the events of series 2, but it still fits the current narrative surprisingly well.

An excellent Canonical fic that remains a WIP, but an excellent and satisfying one nonetheless, is Vampyre (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4297283/1/Vampyre) by ElenaC. As it stands, the author does skirt the line between pre-slash and gen, but it can be read either way.

I've also just finished reading Hounded (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5786293/1/Hounded) by Random Phantom which was 100% gen and just as brilliant.

Lastly, I flail in your general direction for that Ian Richardson!Holmes icon.
