There’s a fantastic fic writer who’s quite prolific in this area. Sixty stories already! I don’t know if they’re doing any more. Their username is ‘Arthur_Conan_Doyle’ but you have to google their stuff. They don’t put it on ff.net or AO3 or anything like that. Real awesome period piece type stuff too. They get all the little details right. It’s amazing. 

he hasn’t updated in like 86 years i think these fics got abandoned =(

I heard he actually started hating it, like, a lot. He wanted to be known for writing about like… plants? science? something like that. who knows tbh
