1. John is one of those dark bitey dangerous mermaids from proper mythology, the kinds fishermen are afraid of. And, see, that's how they get away from the pool -- John jumps in and he brings Sherlock and he breathes fine underwater (even though the chlorine hurts his gills (they disappear and reappear as needed)) and he sorta magics Sherlock alive in the water because Mermaids like eating their prey alive

except there's no nice way for john to be like "yeah she's a mermaid i just know this, let's shove her back into the water she'll be fine she probably lives there", so it's awkward and tense and she tries to seduce sherlock (it doesn't work), and then later tries to convince him to go into the water

And I guess they get along okay, and it's really useful to the police (esp the mundane serious crimes division (i don't remember what they're called)) to have supernatural senses -- John's at least, but Sherlock's still really perceptive like he was in his human life, and Lestrade is a little weirded out by it because he knew sherlock before he died and he suspects a little of what went on to make sherlock brought back

I WOULD READ THIS A BAZILLION TIMES.
Seriously, your fic makes me cruise capslock like no other. As a chronic lurker, I don't think I've commented on your stuff individually, but let me just say here that I love every. single. one. John-as-Addams-Family is probably my favorite, with the Dollhouse crossover a close, hurty second.
tl;dr I LOVE YOU LIKE BURNING. OH, THERE GOES MY CAPSLOCK AGAIN. WHOOPS.

"(he's got like, extra lives backed up in him, and he just uses those to heal him when he gets hurt, and slowly drains them to run his batteries, which is why mycroft killed so many people and shoved their lives into him)"
…so, basically he's an FMA-style homunculus running on a philosopher's stone? Because that's a really cool idea.
(If this is nonsensical to you, just ignore it.)
YOU'RE A BRILLIANT WRITER, EVEN WHEN NOT WRITING "NEATLY" IN STORY FORMAT. I would definitely read both of these wacky AUs and the mermaid one seems to be imitating a mermaid…a plot bunny has latched onto my ankle. Would you mind terribly if I borrowed it (crediting you with the idea of course) and wrote a scribbly little drabble-type thing? Muses have really sharp teeth and they're as stubborn as terriers.

Geek curse, I am unable to not answer the question you asked D: I apologise because you probably don't even really care.
Bilbo doesn't steal the ring from Smaug (the dragon), he steals it from Gollum earlier in the story, and it wasn't so much intentional stealage as having found it in the dark where Gollum had dropped it, and then accidentally slipping it on his finger at a convenient time and turning invisible, allowing him to escape and NOT GET MURDERED by Gollum. Btw if you remember riddles from the hobbit it's because Gollum and Bilbo play a riddle game.
He did steal like a cup or something from the dragon's treasure pile, to prove to the dwarves that he'd been all the way inside, but the dragon did murder the dwarves' grandparents and stuff and steal the treasure and entire mountain from them in the first place, so idk how mean you could say that was. He does also have a conversation with the dragon later, from a hidden point where the dragon can't BURNINATE him.

IKR?! I saw that you linked Hanna and I was like O__________O. No way. Zombie!Sherlock would look just like (...)!! I was laughing pretty hysterically when I made the connection. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll never be able to read Hanna the same way again. :P
