A Mystery at the Opera by Painted_Avocado

Summary
In 1881, when John Watson accepted a job at Baker Street's Opera, he did not intend to chase a brilliant madman who is as mysterious as much as he ravels in intrigue.
That was until a series of gruesome murders started to plague the theatre and a rather interesting agreement was sealed. Now he intends to spare as many lives as possible in this twisted game of cat and mouse. Of course he must figure out who the payers are and where do they stand, all while unveiling his companion's past and trying to maintain a steady income.
Oh, did he mention that he is not gay? Because he is certainly not pinning for this lunatic.
A Phantom of the Opera and Sherlock fusion.

Summary
if i fall,
on that day,
i only pray
don't fall away from me.What if there was much more to Aziraphale and Crowley's history than Crowley remembers?
What if there had been an "our side" even before the Fall?
What if Aziraphale's guilt was the only thing keeping them apart for the last six thousand years?
And what if the only thing that could pull them back together again was the firm belief of a plucky little angel-turned-human-bookseller that love really does conquer all?
Don't Fall Away From Me is a post Season-2 Good Omens fic that rotates perspectives between Muriel, Crowley and Aziraphale.

Summary
Green.
The word green was used to convey a great many things. Illness. Envy. Inexperience.
Standing there amidst Janine's chattering bridesmaids, watching Sherlock furrow his brow and study fabric swatches, watching him smile and simper and flirt, John thought it a remarkably apt colour choice. Because he felt quite sick to his stomach, he feared the source of said sickness might very well be jealousy, and he had absolutely no idea at all what to do about it.
Or: Sherlock needs to fake a relationship for a case. He doesn't ask John.

Summary
Somebody has been killing sheep on an uninhabited island just off the western coast of Ireland, and Sherlock—of course—can’t resist the call to investigate. As a soon-to-be-divorced John and a recently-not-dead Sherlock unravel the mystery of the murdered sheep, they find that they may be forced to confront unspoken sentiments that have lingered between the two them for some time—that is, if they don’t fall victim to the dangers of the island first.
