Title: Obscuro
Author: pandarave12
Fandom: Harry Potter / Sherlock
Characters: John/Sherlock, Jim
Warning: PG-13, mention of slash, crossover, mention of murder (Siger Holmes), veela!Sherlock
Length: Novella
Status: Ongoing
In which Sherlock Holmes is rumored to be the next Harry Potter (or Voldemort) and where John Watson, a normal Hogwarts student, might not seem so normal in the presence of a certain boy genius.
At AO3
Actually, no, no. Don't judge this because of the description. It's not about all-mighty Sherlock being loved and adored by everybody. He has far too much magic, is anti-social and people mistrust him by default. Sounds better, doesn't it?

Their Verdict of Vagaries
Title: Their Verdict of Vagaries
Author: Angstier
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Voldemort/Harry, Dumbledore, Nott
Warning: R, mention of slash, violence, murder, character death, Horcrux, war, time travel, werewolf, prophecy
Length: Novel
Status: Ongoing
"All who fall under your gaze become accused of a silent crime… and I am yet to understand why." -Riddle. Gray!Harry lost in love and misery.
At FF
This is the biggest Voldemort/Harry story out there, almost 600 k words. It is dreadful, has no real slash elements (except mentions) and is full of gore, violence and cruelty. A must read for this pairing - and one of the most realistic depictions of this pairing. Tension, ugliness, complications.

Sui Generis

Characters: Sherlock/Irene, Mycroft, OMC (Nero)
Warning: PG, mention of het
Length: Short
Status: Ongoing
When Irene Adler contacts Mycroft Holmes with some shocking information and instructs him not to share it with Sherlock, he believes it to be a calculated power play against him. In some ways he's right, but the truth is more complicated, and personal.
At AO3
Promising Sherlock/Irene story. I yearn for those XD Nero's born already and it's more about things working out and Irene coming back.

The Absent Voice

Characters: Mycroft, Sherlock, Lestrade, John
Warning: PG, mention of drug abuse, child abuse, Asperger
Length: Short
Status: Completed
A story can be told without the protagonist, a story can be told through the impressions, reports, memories and experiences of others. In the end, the only voice we don't hear is that of the main characters. This is not, naturally, always a good thing.
At AO3
Character study featuring Asperger Sherlock. As I favor this theory, I really liked this work. Mycroft's voice was rather intriguing, especially during their childhood.

Falling

Characters: Snape/Harry
Warning: NC-17, slash, post-war, post-hogwarts
Length: Short

The war is over, but still Severus saves Harry from falling over and over again. Can they find common ground and fall together?
I admit: not my favorite. I respect this for its unity of effect and superior writing. The themes are just what I like, that's why I gave it a read, but to me, Harry is not an appealing character in here. He lacks the depth I've seen him have in other works. Still, this is classic. No way around it.
World in Pieces
Title: World in Pieces
Author: Lomonaaeren
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Harry, Snape, Dumbledore
Warning: PG-13. war, parallel universe, mention of character death (past Harry)
Length: Novel
Status: Ongoing
Harry gets pulled into another universe to deal with the problem of Voldemort there. But that is not the worst thing that could happen.
At FF
Good old Lomonaaeren.
I'll get her other stories up here, too, when I start bringing my recs from my other blog.
For now, another novel-length story, for once without smut. Well, that's cool, her writing is brilliant even without the dirty details.
World in Pieces is especially nice as it combines two essential elements I like in HP fanfictions: Harry and Snape working together, and war-time. The universe travel is another bonus.

Solid version of pre-canon events. I liked Lestrade in here; he's wandering a fine line between duty and morality. Sherlock in here is, well, high.

Sherlock enjoys: unusual methods of correspondence, Class A substances, and trying to get Lestrade's attention.
Lestrade enjoys: having a higher solve rate, not having his flat invaded by umbrella-wielding poshos, and getting Sherlock clean.

Sherlock Holmes is a pitcher and John Watson is a catcher.

Gosh, I did it. I read a baseball fiction. Nooo. It's really not my sport.
Well, while I was not that good at keeping track of all those game terms, I highly enjoyed the relationship earlgreytea68 built by letting John live with Sherlock. It's a really nice AU version - with everything there sans the consulting detective stuff.

Warning: R, slash, AU, marriage
Length: Medium

Mummy has arranged Mycroft’s marriage with an ex-army doctor. However, John meets Sherlock first, and sparks fly.
At AO3
Gosh, so much to say... yes. No, not really.
A nice story with a little twist. The characters were not really canon-like but... what the hell, why give a damn? It was an interesting, funny read. Something NEW, to quote Sherlock.

Rather angsty Holmes-family story. I've seen a lot of vicious!Siger Holmes stories with either a mentally incapitated or indifferent Mommy Holmes. This, though, is a nasty mommy. Liked Mycroft in here. Somehow, I ended up a Mycroft fan down the Sherlock road.
