Here's a little gem. A one-shot set in a certain bar in the film Casablanca:

Summary: Mysterious city of sin and intrigue! Sherlock and John meet again in Casablanca.
‘He plays that bloody song all the time,’ John said with a half-choked laugh, pulling a pack of cigarettes out of the inside pocket of his jacket. He extracted two and lit the both of them, handing one to Sherlock without looking at him.
Crossover with Casablanca (1942).

A few WiPs:

Summary: John wants to explain the rush of sensation and data, which is just another form of sensation (or is it the other way around?). John wants to say: Augmentation circuits report temperature, pressure, various forms of quantitative input. Sudden changes are reported as pain, since sudden changes are dangerous, and pain is the quickest way to encourage reflexive extraction.
But all John can manage is, “Nng.”
Because this sudden touch is not reporting as pain.

This week's chapter of the following is so damn good I was yelling and pulling my hair at the twists and turns and the gorgeous imagery and JOOOOOOHHHHNNN! So, ahem, yes, I'd suggest you read this particularly wonderful AU:
