Day 2
Rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Alright, so last year's accidental theme was AUs, and this one is crossovers:
The Master of London by teacup_of_doom. Sherlock (BBC)/Harry Potter crossover. Summary: "The City of London is a city with secrets. John Watson has secrets of his own. Murders have begun to mount in London, spreading from the Wizarding community to the Muggle. The Aurors can't handle the situation on their own, while New Scotland Yard has been forced to approach Sherlock Holmes for help. John may have the only solution, and he's not interested - he gave up magic years ago, thanks." WIP, 92k currently. (I never got into HP as a fandom but love the setup of this crossover/fusion. It deepens the mythology of the HPverse and adds the idea that Harry's was not the only organized group that stood against Voldemort and that John, despite being not only a wizard but also the 'Master of London' led it. Everyone's really IC and the world building's fantastic.)
Amnesiacs Anonymous series by Stoic_Zee. The Losers/MCU crossover. Jake Jensen/Bucky pairing. Currently 6 works, 20k. My summary: Jake was a special forces soldier who didn't remember anything before waking up after an explosion a few years ago, he met and felt a connection to a man with a robotic arm who also had amnesia. After breaking the Winter Soldier's programming they go around taking out Hydra bases while Jake's not on missions with his team. (Jake may or may not be Steve Rogers or Steve's clone or *something*, that's still shaking out, but it's a fun series, especially how Bucky is seen by the Losers and later by the Avengers.)
Sic Gorgiamus Allos Subjectatos Nunc series by etothepii, Sherlock (BBC)/Addams Family crossover, 3 works, 20k. My summary: John Watson is an Addams (A pretty well known series, but I always forget about its existence until I check my subscriptions and then instantly reread it.)
Detached Duty series by zathara001, NCIS/SG1 crossover, currently 3 works, 27k. My summary: Gibbs, DiNozzo, and McGee are sent on TAD to investigate a death at Cheyenne Mountain and things spiral from there. (A nice look at how the unusualness of SG1 might have issues within the military regarding investigations at black sites and how once an agent is read in they might keep getting called back - although, fair warning, there's a bit of poor characterization/bashing of Tim and Ziva in these.)
Old Acquaintances by BlackRook, MCU/Rise of the Guardians crossover, 1.5k. Summary: Jack Frost and Steve Rogers go way back. (Written back in 2012 it's now an AU crossover, but still a cute fic.)
