It Feels like Home when I'm With You by etothepii (PG-13)

Fandom: SHERLOCK
Pairing: John/Sherlock
Length: 14,050 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] etothepii
Author Website: More of this author's excellent stories can be found here.
Why this must be read:
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a great believer in spiritualism and thus supernatural fusions in the various incarnations of the Sherlock Holmes fandom are prevalent. This particular story is one of the best I have come across in the genre in the Sherlock fandom. The author takes the premise that John is a ghost whom Sherlock is communicating with and just runs with it. It isn't sensationalistic or eerie... it's presented as a bit ordinary, rather like John, although this is NOT a everyone-knows-about-the-supernatural type of universe. This story is entirely cute and sweet and lovely. I love that Sherlock's reaction to ghost!John is that Mycroft will be jealous and it will be really useful to have a ghost help him with his work.

Do go and check out this author's other stories, as they are all brilliant, particularly the werewolf one and the Good Omens fusion and the D/s one and... oh just go read them all.
