Is it possible that someone else loves both Holmes and the Eagle of the Ninth? And here I thought this combination is as outlandish as it can get... :-)
I'm really pleased to meet you, and - I suppose this is the right place for doing so - I'll take the opportunity to ask if you know of any Eagle fandom resources one absolutely shouldn't miss? I've just started to look around a bit - have loved the book for twenty years and now, of course, there's the film - and I found ninth_eagle, but not much more.
BTW, now I've seen it on your list, I do remember reading the Khyber Knife, which is excellent, of course. :-)
Pleased to meet you too! It does seem to be an unusual combination--most of the Eagle fandom seems to have come over from Merlin and Rome fandoms (they are lovely folk, tho'!). I loved the book when I was a kid, too, and never knew anybody else who had read it. So I was pleased to re-read it and find it was as amazing as I remembered. And the movie is its own kind of pleasure:)
As for resources, there's the com you mention, and also a very active kinkmeme, the_eagle_kink and an rps com, if that's your cup of tea, eagle_rps (entries are member locked, as per most rpf coms, but there actually is some great fic, and people have been posting nice vids and pics of Channing and Jamie's recent publicity tour in the UK

Thanks for all those links! There is more out there than I thought, and from what I've seen so far it seems to be a small but interesting fandom. I wasn't exactly overwhelmed by the film (it's entertaining, yes, but my inner book nerd kept protesting :) ), but at least it has given this book some of the appreciation it deserves.
Oh, and I took the liberty to friend you. No obligation to friend back, of course; I don't post much and when I do, it's mostly Holmes book canon fic (so far - though I'm tempted to try some Eagle fic now...).
Just to say I'm friending you, because I really like your take on Sherlock/Lestrade. I tend to write John/Lestrade as it makes more sense to me, but I enjoy reading other combinations.
Please to meet you--glad you like the Sherlock/Lestrade--it's a pairing I never thought I would write as much of as I have. I love John/Lestrade fic too (have written it once I think)--it's a lovely combo--as is Sherlock/John (you can tell I'm not much of an OTP-er, huh?). Friending you back!
