Summary
Ritchie universe. Canon compliant up until the end of the first movie but ignores Irene Adler being a love interest for Holmes.
Mary might not have Holmes' superior intellect but it doesn't take her long to realise exactly why the man tried so hard to stop Watson from marrying her and that Watson returns his feelings, even if he is in denial about it, though he does genuinely love Mary as well. Mary confronts both men on their feelings for each other and proposes a three-way relationship but on the condition that they are all equal partners; it can't be a case of Mary-and-Watson and Watson-and-Holmes separately and if Holmes tries to ignore her or push her out, the arrangement ends immediately. Holmes isn't particularly interested in being romantic or intimate towards Mary but goes along with it so that he can be with Watson.

Summary
Ritchie universe. Mostly canon compliant except for the last scene of Game of Shadows.
Three years after Holmes' supposed death, Watson is visited by a man in disguise similar to the beginning of The Empty House but rather than Sherlock, it's his brother Mycroft. Mycroft explains that Holmes survived the Reichanbach Fall and that he had been in contact with his brother until about a year ago when his letters suddenly stopped. Mycroft knew that Moran was still attempting to track him and thought Holmes had been killed but evidence has recently come to his attention that has led him to believe that Moriarty also survived the fall and is holding Holmes hostage somewhere. His contacts have also revealed that a group of Moran's associates have been tracking Watson for several days and he believes that Moriarty intends to abduct Watson, too, in order to use him as leverage against Holmes. Mycroft's plan is to essentially allow the abduction to take place - with Watson's co-operation, of course - and track the kidnappers in the hopes that the trail will eventually lead to Moriarty himself and he will be able to rescue his brother. Watson obviously agrees to the plan and is horrified when he discovers what Moriarty is planning to do with Holmes. Moriarty's interest in Holmes has only increased since he was defeated by the man and he has decided to force the man into essentially the role of consort. He is aware that Holmes would never agree to this willingly, so he intends to weaponise Holmes' dependency on his friend and not-so-secret love interest by letting him know that Watson is also being held captive and that being allowed to see and interact with him is dependant on his behaviour. If he behaves, he will be allowed to share the same suite as Watson and even take him as a lover if he chooses but if he rebels, he will be separated from Watson for weeks, months or even years until he learns to submit.
I have several in-depth ideas for this prompt if anyone is interested since there isn't enough space to write it all out here.

Holmes and Watson finally get together (your call if it's after months or decades) during/right before a big case. Holmes is so completely lovestruck he can't focus on anything else and Watson needs to cover for him.

Inspired by misreading the term "deductive reasoning":
Once again I read "seductive seasoning", though if Holmes ever cooked a meal and Watson had the chance to observe such an event that'd be the way he would describe Holmes holding the pepper grinder.

Summary
In The Bruce Partington Plans, Watson writes:
"It was a relief to me when at last, after a light dinner, we set out upon our expedition. Lestrade and Mycroft met us by appointment at the outside of Gloucester Road Station. The area door of Oberstein's house had been left open the night before, and it was necessary for me, as Mycroft Holmes absolutely and indignantly declined to climb the railings, to pass in and open the hall door. By nine o'clock we were all seated in the study, waiting patently for our man."
I just find this really funny, what can I say? I would love fic or art about Mycroft continuing to occasionally team up with Holmes and Watson, with the three of them developing a friendly dynamic in which Mycroft can be relied on to absolutely and indignantly decline to do things (while of course coming through and helping when and how it counts the most). I welcome any tone from crack to more realistic humor to more emotional family feels :)

Summary
I'm interested in the fact that Holmes continued to run his business out of 221B even after he became rich, and curious what effect that had on clients' impressions of him. As we hear in Resident Patient, how successful - and thus how good - a professional you were perceived to be often depended heavily on how nice your office was. And here we have Holmes, always working out of the same rooms he and Watson chose when they were both relatively poor. I'd love a fic exploring this from any angle: maybe Holmes's point of view on what statement he intends to make with this, or whether there are more personal/sentimental motives that are more important in making him determined never to move to a nicer/more spacious house or neighborhood; or maybe Mrs. Hudson's point of view on it (remembering that Dying Detective made it canon that Holmes raised his own rent over the years and could easily have just bought the house with the amount he paid, though he never did); or maybe some outside POVs from rich versus poor clients and what it meant to them to come to that door. How did 221B shape their impressions of the man, or men, within?

Summary
When Watson's brother died, he left behind a young daughter who eventually came into Watson's care.
How does Holmes and Watson's relationship, still in their early days both as roommates and colleagues (as well as friends), evolve and mutate with a child in the equation?Could be friends to lovers, but I think established newfound relationship offers its own number of comedic possibilities.

Any universe you please.
A stake out during the winter. Holmes is the one to suggest snuggling into each other's coats for warmth, despite Watson's Victorian objections.
'You're a medical man! Surely you can see the sense, my dear fellow.'Can turn explicit but can also just be pure fluff. Established relationship or pre-relationship, there's a lot of wiggle room.

For A Study in Emerald - I'm interested in seeing a fic where those characters interact with canon ACD events, characters or... whatever, really. Whether it's a fever dream, mysterious world-hopping shenanigans, in-world speculative fiction or whatever other plot device, it's all good. Mostly it's just the curiosity of seeing characters themselves think about what might or could have been.
