Title: The Overlooked
Author: ChristineX
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Snape/OFC (Celeste), Voldemort, Dumbledore
Warning: PG-13, character death (Snape), child, war
Length. Novel
Status: Completed
Snape discovers the existence of a magically gifted young woman who never received an invitation to Hogwarts. But as the final confrontation with Voldemort approaches, can Snape protect her from those around her...including himself?
FF
Another OFC story. Can't believe it. Well, the story deserves the rec. It highlights how Snape is torn between making a life for himself and the war effort. I thought the end was a bit depressing. He never got to know his son. I'd have loved it if the end diverged from canon.

In Shining Armour
Title: In Shining Armour
Author. coffeeonthepatio

Characters: Snape/OC, OC (Emma or Burgundy), McGonagall
Warning: PG-13, het, post-hogwarts
Length. Novel
Status: Completed
Snape's only saving the unborn child of a strange woman. He never signed up for having his house invaded and a stranger and her child caring for him after the snake bite.
FF
Snape with a child - even if it's not his own, could we ask for more?
It takes some time until you get to like the OC female, but you will. Her pride is similar to Snape's, and that is why their relationship is interesting. They tend to fight a lot. Very snarky.

And yet he had been.

Mycroft is just hoping he doesn't have to kill Sherlock's daemon in her sleep to help Sherlock live to see adulthood. It might as well be his prime directive, because nobody else seems capable of doing it.

Bloody brilliant story. This has just hit my all time favorites! Last time I was as impressed with a story as right now was when I read Chrysalis by starcrossed_lover or Mad Lori's Performance in a Leading Role.

There's something very melancholic about this work. I like how time creeps up on the reader. The skips are not linear, and thus it seems random. Frightening in a way. It's quite easy to let yourself fall into this narrative. I like the writing style, too.

After a rather painful night, Mycroft Holmes and Sherlock Holmes are kicked out of their home. Without money, their only choice is to live in a downtrodden flat. With Mycroft struggling for enough money, they live on a week-to-week basis. However, when he meets a rather handsome officer at the coffee shop where he works, will Mycroft be forced to swallow his pride and admit that, maybe, just maybe, he needs help?
AO3
Is Mycroft a good or a bad brother? Neither, I suppose. Yes, he is responsible, he seems to love Sherlock, but he also resents him somewhat.
This is like a meta fic of their relationship.

Mycroft appears weak, which was at first rather distracting. A tad OoC one might think. Well, then he is hopeful, just to get all his hopes crushed. Then he forgives Sherlock.
I haven't seen a story that illuminates their relationship from so many different angles.

Length: Novella

After being convicted of the murder of Sherlock Holmes, Dr. John Watson is sentenced to confinement, therapy, and to the constant companionship of a hologram of his victim to aid in his rehabilitation. While John remains uncertain of his guilt, Sherlock is only too happy to engage in the mystery of his own murder to try and discover why he died and how events set his path to cross with the war ravaged stranger he's now posthumously bound to.
AO3
Another work of Nikoshinigami's that I fell in love with. It's an anxious relationship, though. Unlike with stories like "Chrysalis", there's so much right about the setting, and yet you feel the darkness hovering over everything. I cannot but be wary of what is to come.
Still, I love it.
Definitely one of the best authors in the fandom right now.

Set directly after Reichenbach. John is not as unknowing as Mycroft thought, and not as easy to break as Moran thought. Sherlock might not be as unaffected by this caring thing as he thought himself.
I've taken the liberty to grade this as a friendship fic instead of pre-slash. While there are some hints, I cannot see it as more than the deep friendship John and Sherlock share in canon, too.
It's very interesting to see Sherlock have some history with Moran. Usually, John is the one who was in the army with Moran, or who gets to know him. Somehow, I like the chemistry. Sherlock and Moran were both graspable, and I could imagine it rather well. With all of Moran's obsession.
