The only Homicide stuff I ever read was by Saundra Mitchell, and it was cracking good cases.
I read only a few good Homicide stories, most of them XF crossovers. Erika, I do recommend, if you can find it, LoneGunGuy's crossover, April is the Cruelest Month. LGG is/was one of the most talented of the XF ficcers, and the H:LOTS crossover was very good.
Someone named Shannon (not Shannono) wrote a decent XF/H:LOTS crossover but I've forgotten the name.
And then of course there's Homicidal Tendencies, by Swikstr. Which I recall as quite good, although heavily biased towards the XF characters, and sadly unfinished. Smoking smut, though: it's Scully/Bayliss and Scully/Mulder.
Sometimes I'll write and write and when I look up finally I'll think, "Those words, those phrases came out of me? Wow!"
Oh, yes. And the best feeling is when you can barely type or write fast enough to get it all down. Dictation from the gods.
My poor mute muse. I miss her. I want her to talk to me again.
Yeah, those are pretty good...I'm sure I've not seen all of them. But that's no fun..."I can't get through the day unless I know there's somebody who writes worse than me." Praising is good, but I live to mock and savage.

Fanfic summaries that ensure I will never read your story (Stargate variant):
Daniel wants to go to a conference, how can a cupcake help him?
I assume you don't mean just because of the comma splice? Although a comma splice in a summary is enough to sharply decrease the shrift I give a story.
Not that Shrift.
Well, it's the combination of the "this is going to be badly written!" indicated by the comma splice and "this is going to be really stupid!" indicated by the cupcake. (On the plus side, all of the words are spelled correctly.)
Not that Shrift.
Of course. I am my own institution of bad and wrong.
That person is very good with the physical descriptions, Katie. They are so not my favorite to write, but I enjoy reading effective ones.No, that's why I'm addicted to parens. The SV/H:LOTS person. Not sure about the cupcakes...
You've read the cupcake story? It's readable? Huh. See, this is why summaries matter.
