I heard Gaiman read A Study in Emerald at WorldCon before the story was published, and it blew me away. Merging Holmes and the Cthulu mythos makes an odd sort of sense, and the reveal at the end about who the protagonists really are is a brilliant twist. It was fun trying to match that sort of Victorian voice. (I think I need to write more Holmes again, with or without Cthulu.)
