It's been a while since I read this story and it is still a great blending of LOTR and HP. Harry goes through the veil with Sirius and they are transformed into elves of a corresponding age. Which would be toddler and tween and a new adventure starts. They end up in Rivendell and the story explores what happens around and behind the movie. I wish the story had gone into more detail about the courtship between Harry and Glorfindel there are too many jumps. However the story is well written the action scenes are thrilling and you get a better look at lives of everyday elves.

Slash Heru (Harry)/Severus, Remus/Sirius

Good story with just enough differences to not be another Harry raises himself. Harry as Heru comes to this world the night the Potters are killed. He immediately collects young Harry and creating his own Wizarding space creates a unique home. I would love a tree mansion like that not to mention the sanctuary he creates. The changes flow freely after that as Heru is determined that those he cared for will have a better life. He intends to finish everything before Harry has to. Slowly he involves more and more people in his crusade to give Harry the life he deserves. It finally comes to head just before Harry goes to Hogwarts. An enjoyable story. The story is fluffy, funny, deception abounds and Heru proves to be an interesting character. Pairings are Severus/Heru and Sirius/Remus

Arthur/Eames, Sherlock/John

I have of course seen this pairing before but never actually read it. This is excellent because you know Mycroft would use any resources he had and what's a little blackmail between friends. I just recently discovered this author and already want to recommend several stories. In this he calls in Eames to force Arthur to help get Moriarty secrets without involving Sherlock. While my favorite pair is involved the story is all about Eames and Arthur. This is the first in a series of 6 so far and you really don't have to know the movie to follow the plot line. I love how the author portrays the insecurity in both pairings as well as how far each would go to protect the other. As for the dream walking that was seriously scary. I think I found my newest ship. I'll have a whole flotilla at this rate.

with amazing artwork at: https://archiveofourown.org/works/958021/chapters/1875898

I loved it,this is an excellent story. A very different take on Merlin while still sticking to the heart of the story. Let me say that this is a different Merlin then you are used to. He is one BAMF, an assassin, most importantly the last shadowlord. When he first meets the pirate king Arthur well let's just say it doesn't go well and actually gets worse before it gets better. There is plenty of snarky comments, diva attitudes and space battles galore. Of course there is a prophecy and the two must unite to save the clans. Arthur is desperately trying to keep his father alive and would make a deal with the devil. There are a lot of awesome scenes but the one that sticks in my mind even now is when Merlin is walking along the table in front of the the others as he approaches Arthur. It’s been almost two years since I read this, it’s cold and dreary outside perfect time to snuggle up with hot chocolate, cookies, and a story that will take you to another world.

Very good story that is not typical of what I normally read. I do like the pairing of David and Kurt but the main reason for reading the story was the length. I wanted something to keep me occupied for a bad day. The reason for it not being my usual story is also one of the reasons it is so good. The author does a good job of getting into the head of the character and explains the why and how the characters become who they are. Kurt and David become these 3 dimensional characters that are not perfect. They are human beings who make mistakes. Sometimes stupid mistakes. Many of the scenes between Kurt and David showcase just how different they really are from how they perceive themselves to how others do the same. Kurt shows David that running solves nothing whether from the kiss, his anger, his friends, or his life. The scene where he puts his foot down about David's behavior is well done. Coddling someone who is basically throwing a tantrum does nothing and would actually set someone back in the kind of situation that David is recovering from. Kurt wants to be David's rock but he learns quickly that it can be difficult not to mention stressful as you second guess yourself. It doesn't help that David is constantly making him question his own life style choices. The scenes between Kurt and Blaine are funny as well as sad because Kurt is stepping out from his comfortable box and Blaine can't handle it. The story is a very in-depth look at coming out in middle class small town America. There are some deep questions about stereotypes and choices and that sometimes you reach your goal only it's not what you thought it would be. A very thought provoking story my only complaint is that sometimes the author takes three paragraphs to say what three sentences would do.

Great, great story about Kurt and David. This follows after Valentine's day and Kurt finds out just how David feels about him. Kurt is tired of being second place and decides to break up with Blaine. He tells David he doesn't want him to be a rebound relationship so they need to take it slow. Then it just gets crazy. There is a lot of great buildup with the characters and some excellent reasons for their behavior. Kurt realizes that he doesn't have to settle for anything and David realizes that the growing up he did means he does deserve love. This story is funny, sad, angry, loving, it just has it all. There is one scene where Kurt is reading a note that Sebastian left begging him to take back Blaine because he never realized what a whiny shit he was I almost died laughing.

Dean/Castiel, Sam/Gabriel

Excellent story with a neat twist on the reincarnation trope. Harry is fed up and asks death if he can be reincarnated. Death agrees but tells him that the life will be hard and dark in alot of places but he will have a family and love in addition to keeping his magic. Harry agrees and death decided to end the spat between two idiots that would plunge heaven and hell into war on Earth. He is reincarnated as Dean Winchester and the Supernatural world will never be the same.  While the story is slash it's no more then hints and innuendo. The scenes are hilarious and I love Dean's creature form because that is awesome. I love the bear bombs and know some people I would love to use it against. While the story is incomplete the main arc is done and they have traveled to an alternate dimension to prevent at least one Harry Potter from marrying Ginny Weasley. I love this author I just have a pet peeves against people that write so many stories but only complete a few. But this story is fairly long and ends in a good place.
