Title: Periodic Tales
Author: sevenpercent
Fandom: Sherlock
Characters: John, Sherlock, Mycroft, Daddy Holmes
Warning: PG-13, character death (Mummy Holmes), illness (autistic - Sherlock)
Length: Novella
Status: Ongoing
As a chemist, Sherlock uses the Periodic Table for many reasons. A collection of short fics that add up to a better understanding of what he is and how he reacts to the catalysts in this life.
AO3
A very good story that shows how Sherlock grew up. It's an autism fic.
The writing is rather interesting. Every chapter brings together two time lines: Sherlock's childhood to teenager days, and his cases with John. The time lines are connected through chemical facts which are partly very interesting.

Crazy for Love
Title: Crazy for Love
Author: prettyvk
Fandom: Sherlock
Characters: Sherlock/John, OMC (James Moriarty), John/Mary, Molly
Warning: PG-13, character death (Mary, Moran), childfic
Length: Novel
Status: Completed
AO3
Might turn into a series! Update: It did. Sequel's up.
This is by no means as bad as it sounds. I really had discarded it the first two times I found it, and the third time I was bored enough... to shoot the walls. So I gave it a go.
James is a difficult child to hate, and a difficult child to love. At first, he seems too... perfect and developed for his age. Then we get into his issues, and his limits (like when playing the violin). It's a clever approach.
I still disliked Mary - what's interesting about inserting a boring person into John's life to make him boring and occupied? ... I was really glad Sherlock found a purpose in James. I wish there was somebody like that for Sherlock in canon, too... That's another story, though.
For now, I have to say: An excellent read.

It starts with five words.
“Is my father really dead?”
Or maybe, that’s how it ends.

It never occurred to Sherlock Holmes that an ice cream shop might attract children.

Sherlock is a very eccentric cook who is specialized in ice cream flavors. John is a sous-chef. Now he's distributing ice cream.
You think that sounds boring?
Believe me. It isn't. The Only Emperor is one of the sweetest, fluffiest AUs I've ever read. The characters are are still recognizable, and yet they have been completely taken from their usual surroundings.

An unusual pairing and an unusual version of Sherlock in an unusual setting. I like Sally's voice. It's very authentic but not overly expressive.

Plot is fairly easy.

John misses Sherlock, and Mary is nasty.
The feelings are very nicely depicted. A bit sappy, maybe even.

Lovely. I love earlgreytea68's works. They always are very expressive, fluffy but with a very honest attitude. Heart-warming.
Baby Oliver is really cute. I am a bit wary of childfics with babies. Often they are depicted all wrong, all unrealistic. This is not too far-fetched.
There's a spin-off about how Oliver wants to go to Eton, and how John shows Sherlock a bee museum, pardon, apiculture museum.

Sherlock has been away from London for nine hundred and twelve days and counting, and has no idea what sort of reception to expect when he finally returns.
A bit more action-based than the original series. The relationship is important but I like this story as an action story better.

Warning: PG-13
Length: Novel

Six months probably isn't long enough for John to begin picking up the pieces. Fortunately, Sherlock is trying to ensure that he doesn't have to. But in the meantime, a good old-fashioned friend is already setting up the board for the next round - and this time there's an ominous twist in the story that's more focused on John than Sherlock cares to admit.
FF
Your typical post-TRF story. Mostly case-fic, and it's nicely written. Plot is a bit thin, though, for novel-length.
