Summary
At sunset on the third day since the second water purifier had stopped, the city of Agrabah limped along in a state of controlled chaos.
The royal fountains and pools were empty; the use of water for bathing and watering of plants was strictly limited, which put the nobles out of temper, greatly gratified the smallest children at bedtime, and added a whole new level of pungency to the bazaar. The bakers in the streets sold a drastically reduced selection at astronomical prices; at the back gates of the palace, a line of hungry beggars stretched and snaked out into the city, and the Queen's cooks fed them on baked vegetable balls and salads, anything but bread; and kebab stalls had sprung into being like goosebumps after a cold wind, hawking roasted lamb so fast that the shepherds were fast becoming the happiest demographic in the city, and the sheep the most worried.
The sheep, and the Queen.

Summary
"Your friends go to school while dating," says Charles thoughtfully.
"Lots of people do that, Charles. You're just a workaholic who owns a speed-dating business."
Charles waves that away. "Speed-dating doesn't take up any time at all. Once per month. Moira spends more time than that watching Clint Eastwood movies."
Raven sighs. "Everybody dates. You used to date!"
"That wasn't dating, Raven, that was drinking," explains Charles.

Summary
It's actually a subject of some curiosity for Mark whether Wardo really likes that many people that much, or if somewhere under the dense shell of affability and social conditioning there's a tiny core of judgmental superiority. Not because Wardo's ever given any sign of it, and Mark's done some judicious digging when Wardo was at his most inebriated - it's just that, well, he also likes Mark.
Really, he obviously does. It's not like Wardo gets anything else in particular out of their friendship, not anything he couldn't get from anyone else. He's better at algorithms than Mark is, and he's not even studying programming. Wardo is wealthier, taller, more fashionable, more social, and more conventionally attractive. Mark is marginally stronger and also better at fencing, but Wardo shows no signs of being a fencing fetishist, and it's not like he needs Mark to carry his books for him. It's usually Wardo who ends up carrying Mark's things that he forgets to take with him.

A bafflingly long-winded, cosy domestic world of fluff! In this universe, MCR never existed. Gerard threw himself into art instead of music after 9/11, Frank owns an indie record label, and Ray is a studio musician.

From just having a butler and a personal hacker, Lara didn't necessarily think she would be hand-picking the elements of--well, a family. Of sorts. Naturally, not a very conventional one.

Notes
This is very good, although a lot more of it is faeries than Sherlock. On the other hand, what there is of Sherlock in it is very well characterized and it's a fascinating (albeit faerie-filled) and rollicking fun read.

Summary
Rating: PG
Word count: 8.351
Summary: Julian Bashir joins the post-war effort on Cardassia Prime because it seems like the most obvious thing to do: No planet is worse off after the war, he's a doctor, and they don't have enough of those. He's learning the language, because that's what you do when you're living somewhere for an indefinite amount of time. But he soon realizes that language isn't just about vocabulary and grammar, and learns a few things about his own past along the way.Has a sequel of comparable length which can be found linked from the fic.

Notes
Another post-series fixit rife with end-of-series spoilers. It's a trope I don't seem to tire of at all and has just the sort of worldbuilding, tone and atmosphere I enjoy most.
