Slash  Sherlock/John
Awesome story, I do love when the author throws in a kid with my favorite pair in a believable manner. This story does so when Mary Watson dies in childbirth due to injuries from an accident. It's a couple of years before John and Sherlock get together even though they are raising a daughter together. This story follows the trio through Evelyn's 18th year so far and she is just as much of a trouble magnet as her parents. While the story is not complete it stops at a good point, The story is over 200,000 words and the last cliffhanger was painfully satisfying.  The characters are made believable because they age as Evelyn does as seen in having trouble breathing, getting more injuries, recovering slower. Evelyn has to find her feet being raised by two such different and famous men. It's hilarious especially the flashback to when she gets her first period at 3 in the morning. Poor, poor Sherlock I laughed so hard that's what he gets for being a light sleeper. Especially when he is tossing the sheets in the wash and hesitates because of possible experiments then shakes his head and drops the lid. Really Sherlock, bad thought, bad boy. Awesome story well worth rereading

Awesome story well written with all kinds of twists and turns. Mycroft turns up at 221B Baker Street with a baby that turns out to be the clone of Sherlock Holmes and the fun begins. Everyone is sure that this will be a disaster but John steps up because this is a part of Sherlock and who better to understand the problems of a baby genius but another genius. And lets face it Sherlock is hopeless with the little things like paying bills and buying food. There are so many delightful interactions it is hard to say but one of my favorites is "we are married and you're asking if this was a date" Or when Sherlock decided to kiss John as soon as he got home, he was tired of waiting for him to realize that he was in love with Sherlock. There is also the scene where John tells off Sherlock parents for their treatment of Sherlock and denied them any input on Oliver, he then basically threw them out. The characterization of the canon characters is spot on and the development of baby Oliver is hilarious.

John/Sherlock, Mycroft/Lestrade

Awesome story I have said it before I love a BAMF John. In this case you have vampire Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes and it turns out that John grew up a hunter something he managed to hide from both brothers. This is a fast paced, action packed story with great sex. The story takes place after Sherlock jumps and the scene at the grave had me laughing way too hard. John is not a happy camper and Sherlock is surprised when John sneaks up on him and punches him. This is a very sideways look at our favorite characters but beautifully done. There is something for everyone and can I just say that I loathed Mummy Holmes. Oh and lets not forget just how sexy a strong, powerful Lestrade is, the scene with the council is perfect.
