Both men become far more involved with one another than either had intended and must keep their home life a secret or risk losing everything.


AO3

Yes, I read that monster, and I read it twice.
In here, we got a lot of the typical "Lestrade picks up Sherlock when he's at his worst and makes him better" elements but it also is about Lestrade himself, for once. He has problems; financial, social, family. In a way, that makes him less jaded than the Lestrade we see in other fiction, strangely enough. Lestrade is young, his age nonwithstanding. He's actively dealing with his life and influencing it. I think this is as much about Lestrade as it is about Sherlock. I like that.

Lucius in love with Snape - is there anything more paradox and beautiful a topic? I love it. It always ensures for a painful, bittersweet story full of conflicts.

One of the best depression fics I've seen. The snarry part is nice, wouldn't have been necessary, would have worked with a mentor!snape as well. Still, I like it, and it shows the author's preference. Needs to be respected.

I always thought either you write a mentor!Snape or a Snarry story. You cannot do both, you got to choose. Flawed Lines proved me wrong: it is possible to combine both, to even add suicidal tendencies into the mix. This story is one of the few where the ingredients seem awfully incompatible, but in the end? Yeah, something delicious is created. This is more hurt/comfort than romance, more growing up, maturing than actual love. If you don't like slash, if you aren't a fan of Snarry, this is one of those stories that may "break you in".

diagonalist is one of those authors you stumble across every other month or so. Funnily you always recognize the user name but never remember the other titles. Even now, I cannot rec her completely. She got a nice writing style, nice ideas. No doubt there, you just habe to appreciate the good quality of her works. While diagonalist is not the best writer there is, I hold her in high regards.
