Fics like The Mortal Anniversary

The Mortal Anniversary; or A ghost made them do it. For the second year in a row, on the anniversary of her death, I saw my wife waiting for me. Holmes had been returned from his sojourn to Europe for nearly a year, alive and whole though worse for wear; I had sold my practice and moved back into Baker Street; and we had begun an affair. It had been since the start of the year, and now I felt the weight of that decision like a millstone as I tried to ignore my dead wife’s presence. I didn’t regret it. Not for a moment. But I hadn’t expected to look her in the eye five minutes after I’d kissed him goodbye. “I need to know you’re all right, John,” she said. “I’m all right,” I said, and it was even true. “I need to know you’re happy.”
