Because quality fanfiction is so hard to come by, and I decided to start marking what I've read in the past month by listing some of my favorites. All well-written, all good, and I'll tell you if there's any swearing or whatever. Probably all of these will be taken from fanfiction.net because that's where I hang out and where there happens to be a multitude of the darling things.
In no particular order, she says as suddenly she is seized by the inexplicable urge to organize these by date read. She clears her throat. Starts again.
In the order of date read, assume oneshot unless otherwise informed:
Mistletoe Run, a Mentalist fanfic. Involves Patrick Jane and a large amount of mistletoe. Given that it does involve mistletoe, it also involves kissing. of course. ;) but still fun.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6562981/1/Mistletoe-Run
A Story for Children, a Sherlock fanfic. Started out as this rather fun bedtime story the Uncle and Uncle Sherlock told small Amelia, Rory, John, and Molly, and now it has a plot and danger and all sorts of wonderful things. Also a villain, an antagonist, a downright detestable creature known only as the Moffis, the Gaffat. multi-chapter, ongoing.

A Mother's Faith, a Thor (2) fanfic. Frigga and Loki bit, about wisdom and kings and such.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9917873/1/A-Mother-s-Faith
The Final Offense, Thor 2 fic, Loki and Odin and resentments and unforgiveness. tad dark and angsty. (spoilers)
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9917866/1/The-Final-Offense
Helpless, Thor 2 fic, Loki and Frigga and a perhaps reason for Loki's thorough protection of Jane.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9872940/1/Helpless
The Squire's Squire, a Squire's Tales fic. [so...spoilers, if you haven't read the series. I recommend it if you haven't.] King Arthur wishes he could just not be a king. And wakes up as a squire to a certain squire of a certain nephew of his.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10012365/1/
A Pointless Illusion, Thor 2 fic, Loki and introspection on why he keeps the illusions around. Given the
blasted movie there are feels and angst.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9846757/1/A-Pointless-Illusion
Budapest, a crossover fic. Avengers and Phineas and Ferb. Come now, you really want to read the real reason Clint remembered Budapest so differently than Natasha, and the fact that it may or may not have something to do with two boys and a platypus is more than curious.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8680792/1/Budapest
Two Knocks, a Sherlock fic. Lestrade has news for Mrs. Hudson. Angsty tragedy but so, so good. Honestly, the greatest compliment I can give this one is that it almost made me cry. So in character...so good.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8879617/1/
Ritual, an Avengers fic. The team has a ritual in place for when Hawkeye returns to the tower late. Quite possibly the epitome of hurt/comfort.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9246556/1/Ritual
The Most Important Question, a Thor fic. Such question is, of course, what color Loki's eyes are. And if the Trickster happens to be deliberately changing them to annoy his fangirl army...(Not quite sure if this falls into the 'well-written' or 'quality' bit, but the conclusion stuck in my head and gave me feels and therefore I share it.)
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10010483/1/The-Most-Important-Question
Gentle, Velvet Lies, a thor 2 fic. Loki and Frigga and denial and lies and the debatable merits of lying when Truth is so, so, so horrible.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9841254/1/Gentle-Velvet-Lies
bedtime stories, an Avengers fic. for Loki's magic to work he has to believe, but the little man says he lacks conviction.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8591249/1/bedtime-stories
The Vanishing Act, a Doctor Who fic. I'll give you the author's summary: The Doctor and his darling wife get into another one of their arguments.
Rapidly escalating into a small war. Rapidly escalating into a large
war. And it might not end until the universe does.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9999427/1/The-Vanishing-Act
Immortalised, an Avengers fic. Loki tries to kill off the Avengers, with unexpected results.

Linguistics, an Avengers fic. A year after the Battle of New York, another inscription appears in New Mexico.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10013210/1/Linguistics
I lied. these are not all the fics I read in January. But I've lost all the other ones I would have added, so these will have to do. Honestly, I don't know if anyone even wants these, but here they are. I can stop feeling guilty about not having posted these. Perhaps I'll inundate you with all the Labyrinth fics I read during February.
Perhaps not.
Either way, here you go.
