Longfic I'm nowhere near starting but can't get out of my head:
ACD-Holmes double genderswap about coverture and female hysteria and crimesolving. I salivate at the thought of the research I'd get to do.
Epic Megan Whalen Turner fic set in a divergent universe, though I'm not saying yet where the split occurs. Somewhat less research, significantly more political assassinations, approximately the same number of terrifyingly competent women.
