Title: A Matter of Convenience
Author: azriona
Fandom: Sherlock
Characters: John, Sherlock
Warning: PG, mention of slash, mention of marriage, injury (John)
Length: Short
Status: Completed
When John is shot because of Sherlock’s arrogance, he wakes up to a very interesting surprise at the hospital.
At AO3
Not the most moving one but I simply liked the way it depicted the issues people have to go through when they're not married but want to be with their loved one(s). John's grumpy side was a bonus, though. Although he endulged Sherlock XD

The Adventure of the Resurrected Lover
Title: The Adventure of the Resurrected Lover
Author: azriona
Fandom: Sherlock
Characters: Greg/John/Sherlock, Greg/Sherlock, Greg/John
Warning: PG, mention of threesome, mention of slash
Length: Medium
Status: Completed
It was supposed to be a relaxing, romantic holiday by the sea. And then Sherlock discovered a murder. So much for relaxing…
At AO3
Yeah, nice story. Actually, I read it because of the murder. Threesome's not quite what floats my boat, so to speak. There's nothing unduly in there, so don't let yourself be frightened off by the shipping. With squinting, it's even more of platonic than romantic love. Especially since it focuses on the problems of making their relationship "work", what with Greg and Sherlock being unsure of how to proceed.

Misdialed
Title: Misdialed
Author: DLanaDHZ, Lunaflare14
Fandom: Sherlock
Characters: John/Sherlock
Warning: PG-13, character death (Sherlock), mention of slash, AU, time travel
Length: Novella
Status: Completed
John needs a new phone, one that doesn’t bend time and have an amazing man on the other end who claims to be the world’s greatest detective, except that he can’t figure out how he called Dr. Watson instead of his brother. However, with a criminal mastermind on the loose, John's phone connection may be the only thing that can save them both.
At AO3
God, the biggest confession of my life: I love sap. Sappy stories, well-written sap. Sure, most of my rec'ed stories are slash and rather NC-17 than merely PG. Who doesn't like some smut? But I really am in awe of stories like Misdialed. They are so full of emotions without turning their characters unbelievable. It's art. Fictionality at its finest.
There's nothing more heart-warming than seeing Sherlock and John communicate.
I know the rough setting from a manga I once read, so this was not that much of a novel idea. Still, it's not easy to meet my expectations, and I had quite high one's because the manga was nice.

For You and For Myself
Title: For You and For Myself
Author: soulofair
Fandom: Sherlock
Characters: Sherlock/Irene, OFC, OMC, John/Mary
Warning: R, het, pregnancy, character death (Adele, OFC), illness (Sherlock), marriage (OFC)
Length: Novella
Status: Completed
Irene's role in Sherlock's life doesn't just fade away. Fading isn't her thing. Instead, their relationship flourishes.
At FF
Almost epic Sherlock/Irene story. A bit on the light side of style but it's a story woven over decades.
As much as I love this story: I have one major problem with it.
Adele's death did not become real for me. I could not feel it. Not grasp it through Sherlock's and Irene's grief. The closest I came was with Sherlock breaking apart. But I never got to the point where you acknowledge a character's death. It was more like she was away. Thus, the second child seemed like a very bad idea, I couldn't come to terms with that. To me, Sherlock and Irene never really dealt with the loss, they always behaved like Adele was simply 'gone' for an undetermined time. They were sad but not mourning, not grieving. The author didn't manage to induce this magic moment when the reader simply cries because it's too much.

Someone wants Professor Snape as his own, but so does every other wizard loving wizard out there! Let the schemes commence as he becomes the target of many, MANY courtship offers.
At SH
I love this Lucius/Snape story. Just do. It's not philosophical, doesn't depict PTSD or any other problematic themes. It's just... nice to read it. It's not even written in a serious, sophisticated style. Yet it's nice^^ simple in its way, but nice.
Author also wrote Indago which I once tried to read but kind of didn't like.

Perspectives on a Singular Theme
Title: Perspectives on a Singular Theme
Author: branwyn

Characters: Sherlock, Mycroft, Lestrade
Warning: PG, mention of non-con, mention of drug abuse, genderbender
Length: Short
Status: Ongoing Series
Sometimes it seems to Mycroft that Sherlock is racing the world to destroy herself before it can destroy her.
At AO3
Let's face it: the title's nothing special, the main idea is no break-through, the writing is not especially captivating.
And yet I really, really like this. I adore it. It is a mix of Sherlock's life in slices and tells a story without stating facts. It merely exists for its own sake. For the setting. There are no new developments, there's no hard case in there, there is no real shipping. The author seems to have dedicated this story to the setting itself. That's special enough about this series. Plenty.

The finishing touch is the scarf, and once that’s wrapped around his neck he looks almost normal (normal for the Freak, Sally amends). Still too thin, maybe, although the coat hides most of it, makes his form look more substantial than it really is. But the illusion’s broken now, and Sally knows that she won’t be able to look at him without seeing ribs and spine and collarbone stretched under too pale skin.
Or...the one where Sherlock has an eating disorder and Sally tries to help.

Miss Sherlock Holmes objects most strenuously to the very idea of finding a husband. Instead of accepting that she must, she sets out to ensure she will never have to.
John Watson, invalided home and recovering from a nasty bout of enteric fever, never thought to find anyone interested in him ever again, let alone someone like Sherlock.

Length: Short

Sherlock has always considered being an Omega a vague hindrance, if that. Far from worrying about unplanned pregnancy, he laughs at those who stress themselves over it. However, karma has a funny way of catching people when they least expect it...
At AO3
Another omegaverse story rec'ed by yours truly.
While it's short, it still shows some insight on omegaverse and has a more or less serious tone in it. I wouldn't call it a jewel, but something with potential. Pity there was no update in a while. Well, lovers of omegaverse sure won't mind.
