Summary
A Stitch in Time is a slow burn Holmes x OC romance threaded through with family drama, casefic mystery, and a creeping, almost fairy tale sense that something older is waking in the shadows of London. It follows a consulting detective who does not believe in magic, a woman who refuses to be only a victim or a muse, and the Holmes family as they learn that protecting one small, stubborn heart may be the most complicated case they will ever take. (This does not follow the Enola Holmes or Sherlock Holmes stories but does reference them. In a very loose way is similar to ‘Cheating Men Must Die’ world hopping.)
I’m making an effort to tag the chapters ahead of time/going forward so if there is an issue that could be triggering you’d know and can skip.

Summary
What if the Stargate was discovered and activated over a century before the events of the movie?
An archaeological dig in Giza in 1876 covers a giant stone ring covered in a strange new form of hieroglyphics. While indecipherable at first, an accidental discovery reveals the true purpose of the Stargate.
How will Victorian-era Britain react to the discovery of whole planets to raise the Union Jack over and enemies more fantastical and terrifying than anything they could imagine?
There will be some slight divergence from canon, but the broad strokes laid down by the TV series remain the same.

Summary
Set after the end of season five.
In the soot-stained abyss that is Whitechapel, H divisions Inspector Edmund Reid endures as a man hollowed by duty, loss and grief. Around him is a station reshaped with new faces, Scotland Yards evolution brings in new ways and society’s progression brings in new opportunities. For Reid however, the spectres of the past that linger still as sometimes the dead are not the only thing that haunt us.
Bound first by the brutal machinery of crime, Edmund, finds himself and his new colleagues drawn into a critical investigation of self: One which will truly stretch and shape him as he repairs trust, examines conscience and holds steady the unbearable weight of duty.
Dr Greaves was made in Edinburgh, and now she is being forged by Whitechapel, both within the walls of Leman St and beyond. She may bend out of shape, but a society not designed for women may break her still.
This is how I envision Reid’s life carrying on, finally claiming peace and finding order with love, companionship and an eventual happy ending.
Writing this is a joy, researching is a rabbit hole.

Summary

Summary
In the war-torn year of 1812, Gilbert follows a phantom pain to a secluded monastery in the Rheingau. He does not seek sanctuary, but confirmation of a rumor that, if true, could alter the future of Europe. There he finds the boy: Ludwig; though the Holy Roman Empire is dead in name, Germany persists as a physical remnant of a people yet to be truly unified.
To do so, the German lands must be united under a single banner, sharpened into something that can endure, unmistakably stamped with Prussia’s iron will. He takes Ludwig in, shelters him, breaks him, and rebuilds him—not just as a brother, but as his greatest project. For Ludwig, becoming Germany comes at a cost. Raised in the shadow of war and expectation, he is taught to trade poetry for obedience, memory for purpose, and doubt for duty, until the question is no longer who he was, but what he is being made into.
tl;dr: a historical and canon-divergent retelling of Germany’s nation-building process in the 19th century.

Summary
“Let me get the door,” he said softly, finally regaining his momentum and coming up onto the landing next to her.
“I’m perfectly capable of opening our front door,” she huffed, sidestepping to allow him more room around her skirts.
“You’re perfectly capable of plenty, of that I have no doubt,” John replied, sliding the key into the lock. “But the first-footing won’t bode well if I let you go in before me.”
Margaret blinked, not fully understanding her husband’s meaning.
“The first-footing?”
“Aye,” John said, turning the knob and swinging the large, heavy door inwards. “It’s bad luck to let a woman into your home on the new year before anyone else. Didn’t you know that?”
