Octokittens (And some theories on how they might have come about) by justawordwright

Summary
What it says on the tin. The tin that says octokitten origin stories. Not the tin of octokitten food. I mean, you could feed them this. It might not go down well though, but why don’t you see? Worst case is they’ll eat you for dessert. I’m sure you can just sleep that off though if you’re on the Aurora. Oh, you’re not immortal? Bad idea coming here then. I’d leave now, the octokittens are the least of your worries. Try not to get shot on your way out, but yes, I’ll give the octokittens a pet for you. They are very pettable.

Summary
"This is what you know about the witch:
People go to the witch when they need help. Not often, and not that they blab about it, but it’s a known fact that if there’s something you need, something the clerics and the guardsmen and the liegelord can’t fix, you ask the witch. You pay, and people don’t talk about what they pay but the not-talking makes you think it’s nothing as easy or common as gold, and the problem is solved. So they say."
Hundreds of years after the adventures of Vox Machina, a village child makes an unexpected ally of the mysterious woman who lives up the mountain.

Summary
A month after Sherlock's fall, John is coming apart at the seams. His sister Harry puts her law practice on hold and comes out to help John through the worst. When Harry reluctantly agrees to go out to Clara's house in Norwood to make out Clara's will, she becomes the prime suspect in Clara's murder. With Lestrade now his bitter enemy, John has to solve the case on his own...or does he?
****
"Empty Houses" was written during the hiatus between the end of Series 2 and the beginning of Series 3. As of "Empty Hearse," the events depicted here are no longer consistent with canon. They remain, however, consistent with your burning desire to ship John and Sherlock.

Summary
"What surgery? You said they were fine!" Anger pulsed through him. "What haven't you told me?"
Gupta covered her mouth with her fingers. "Didn't anyone tell you?" she said. "Mr. Hart—he's in surgery. It looks—I'm afraid it doesn't look very good. I'm sorry. Someone should have told you."
The room lurched around Nick.
Next thing Nick knew, his head was being lowered and a blanket put over him.
"No," he said, pushing the blanket away. "Just tell me what's happening. I thought Stephen was—dead." He forced the word out.
"Dead?" she repeated, like a damned parrot. "No, no, not dead, not last I knew—who told you he was dead?"
