Here are some recs!
Sherlock BBC Crossovers
Backup Copies (http://etothepii.livejournal.com/8058.html) by
When John dies, Sherlock doesn't know what to do. But Mycroft does. Dollhouse crossover.
This is a really interesting concept, and subtly creepy. I loved every moment of it.
The Rough Edges Series (http://archiveofourown.org/series/4406) by
Sherlock Holmes and Bernard Black: cousins. The rest of the family: terrifying. Black Books crossover.
This is hilarious, and though the last two stories get a little more serious/dark. Sherlock's family is wonderfully weird, and I really loved 'Mummy' here.
Sherlock BBC
Bricoleur (http://innie-darling.livejournal.com/168408.html) by
A loose retelling of "The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton" in which Harry, newly separated and struggling to get sober, is the one who's being blackmailed for a drunken hit-and-run. John needs Sherlock to solve the case, but not if he's going to prove Harry's guilty. Set a few months after "The Great Game," while the boys are still recovering.
This is a really smart modern adaptation of the Milverton case, and I found it fascinating. If they remake that story, I hope it goes something like this :)
Winter's Delights (http://kate-lear.livejournal.com/9577.html#cutid1) by
Sherlock take John home to meet the extended Holmes family.
This is another "meet the Holmes family" story, very fluffy and holiday themed.
Abhorring the Dull Routine of Existence... (http://ardenteurophile.livejournal.com/8204.html) by
Sherlock tries out more legal varieties of stimulant.
As suspected, a Sherlock buzzed on caffeine is *hilarious*. I had so much fun reading this.
Psych (I'm only passingly familiar w/ this fandom, so I'm sorry I couldn't rec more)
It's Just a Little Friendship Envy (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6118395/1/Its_Just_A_Little_Friendship_Envy) by angel-dawes
Juliet realizes one day, out of the blue, that she wants a best friend. A Gus to her Shawn. Which would be a lot easier if she actually paid attention to the romantic comedies she claims to hate: it's always the one right in front of you.
This fic has everything to make grin, from a really badass Juliet POV to Shawn/Gus BFF-ery to Juliet and Lassiter conspiring to out-weird Shawn and Gus. It is AWESOME.
Auto Incorrect ยป by AristaHolmes
Sherlock knows where the keys on his phone are, and he doesn't need to proof read his texts which leads to some interesting messages for John Watson.

I'm open to the idea of a divorce, but I'm also thirsty and the can of "COKE" in the fridge seems appealing.
Mirror Mirror (and two times more) (http://archiveofourown.org/works/73471) by Danvers. (Gen) Three AUs: Shawn the criminal, Shawn the TV cop, Shawn the psychic.
Sherlock!
John and Sherlock Make a Baby (From Stuff they Find Around the Flat) (http://annlarimer.livejournal.com/953501.html) by AnnLarimer and Rosencrantz. (could be gen of John/Sherlock) Absolutely hilarious crack!fic about Sherlock's latest interest in staving off boredom.
I Used to Live Alone Before I Knew You (http://etothepii.livejournal.com/7536.html) by etothepii. (John/Sherlock) Fabulous fusion with Good Omens. Where Mycroft is an angel, Sherlock is a demon, and John is still John.
Homemaking (http://archiveofourown.org/works/104358) by rageprufrock. (Gen) How John goes from wounded war vet to having a home.
