OTP
Long time since I did anything but rec. Just couldn't resist.
I found a new OTP of mine. While I can see many pairings throughout my usual fandoms, het, slash, even multi, there is usually one pairing that seems to be head canon for me.
In Harry Potter, I prefer tension. Snarry.
In Sherlock, I prefer contrast. Sherlock's fragile brilliance vs John's steadiness.
And in Doctor Who, I prefer sweetness. Rose/Tenth. I actually never would have thought I'd go for "Rose". I like het but seriously, she's not the type woman I would root for. Not the usual heroine I support. And that's why I think her casting and entire character is brilliant. You see her at the beginning, plain, boring, kind of the picture of un-interesting. Then you see her with the doctor, and suddenly she's everything but plain. It's likewise with the doctor (9th + 10th). The moment Rose was really at his side, he became more interesting. They complete each other. I love characters which make you admit that you judged them based on first impression. And that this impression was utterly wrong. I quickly learned to respect Rose - to me, the series ends with her last appearance in fourth season. Her story's complete, and so I stopped watching. Not because I didn't like the other companions. They were okay, no bad word to be said about them. It's just that Doctor Who has become so much about Tenth and Rose even when Rose wasn't there anymore that I am satisfied with that end. Well, no, not satisfied. But it's the end of Rose's arc. And I do not need to know more about the doctor. To me, he's the man who fell in love with a human, opened up to that human, and when there was no chance to remain together, let her go. Suffered through loss. Met her again. And while it must have pained him, he put another man at her side - because he'd rather have her be with somebody and happy than pining. He prefers to be the only one pining. Yep.
So, I got hooked. You may expect Doctor Who recs from now on, too.

Sometimes, the greatest sadness comes not from falling or dying. Sometimes it comes simply from drifting apart.
At AO3
Leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I just cannot enjoy reading about Sherlock and John aging. Too sad a thought. Well-written, though. And definitely an excellent short story.

This is what Sherlock Holmes owes his brother; this is what he has been so slow to repay over the years.

A sad story. Mycroft is dying and there's nothing for Sherlock to do but be by his side.

Don't Explain

Characters: Sherlock/John, John/Mary
Warning: NC-17, slash, het, injury
Length: Medium
Status: Completed
At AO3
This story actually threw over all my previous beliefs. Mary CAN be portrayed as a strong woman. I didn't particular care for John here - he was hurting a lot of people (okay, hurting himself too). I didn't like the way he behaved towards Sherlock nor towards Mary. Unfair to both of them. He kind of was too busy pitying himself to notice the people around him.
Alright, I really like Mary here. She's a bit boring at the beginning but the firm stance she takes later shows that she has got backbone, that she is independent and strong.

When Harry defeats Voldemort, the Death Eaters lose their magic. Snape decamps to the United States, where he becomes a fry cook in a diner. Seven years after Voldemort's defeat, Harry comes to him for advice.
At SH
I didn't read this, actually I made a wide detour whenever crossing its path. Title just... isn't my cup of tea. Nothing you make fun about. Yet I just had too much time and after getting in touch with pir8fancier's other works, I thought I'd at least give it a chance.
And here you go, a rec. Good, solid work. Nice introperspective (Harry's POV).

Characters:Sherlock/John
Warning: R, injury (Sherlock), attempted rape (Sherlock, John), violence, slash
Length: Novel
Status: Completed
When Sherlock infiltrates a club in order to track down a serial killer, his altered appearance is enough to make John question his assumption that Sherlock is beyond his reach. However, is he the only one who appreciates his flatmate's charms, or is Sherlock at risk of becoming the next victim?
At FF
Case fic, and a rather violent one.
I loved the setting, especially the image of Sherlock working at a bar. Just kind of... doesn't fit, and yet it does. A bit Sherlock!WHUMP as well, so if that's your secret kink...

This is mind-blowing, really. An in-depth character study, focusing on Sherlock's danger nights.
The snippets are more than well-chosen and intriguingly written.

What good is a spy without someone to report to?

Kingsley/Snape - great stuff, definitely^^ the pictures are nice to look at as well.
This story spans over the war to post-war and sticks closely to Snape's POV. He and Kingsley meet up after Dumbledore's death.
