26 Pieces - John/Sherlock. Excellent case fic with h/c. Both John and Sherlock (and Mycroft!) get to be total badasses. The voices are spot-on, the alternating pov wors really well and the sex packs an emotional punch. Highly recced.
A Silver Sixpence - John/Sherlock. Pretending to be married for a case! Always a winner that cliché and this fic provides a pretty good justification for the ruse as well. The relationship development is slow and organic, just the way I like it. There's plenty of humour and an interesting case.
Big Brother Is Watching You - John/Sherlock. Crack. So much crack. John and Sherlock hide from Moriarty in the Big Brother house. Sherlock takes it about as well as you'd imagined. The other contestants and the Big Brother, take it even worse. Hilarious.
Cannot Help But Fall - John/Sherlock. A thoroughly enjoyable fic that marries an intriguing case and relationship development very well. Bonus points for John being smart and competent and dangerous which pushes all my buttons just like Sherlock's.
everything you won't tell me (is mapped in your scars) - John/Sherlock, bdsm!AU. Everyone who knows me, knows I have a dreadful weakness for bdsm!AUs. This one doesn't disappoint. In fact it does quite the opposite. The world building is interesting and the dynamic and relationship between John and Sherlock doubly so.
Performance In a Leading Role - John/Sherlock, AU. An engaging AU where John and Sherlock are Hollywood actors, caught in an unexpected relationship. Some of the romance is a little too much for me, but it was the context and culture of film industry that really sold the fic for me. If you like meta with your story, you'll enjoy this.
Shadows on the Wall - John/Sherlock. Psychic!John. Relentless, seamless weaving of present and potential futures, all of which John struggles to navigate. Rich details and great use of sensory description.
The Art Of Seduction - John/Sherlock, AU. Instead of solving crimes, Sherlock turned all his attention to sex. This is inspired by Quees As Folk UK so if you enjoyed that, you'll love this. Great use of minor characters and the resolution is deeply satisfying. Long, thoroughly entertaining read.
Ulysses and other tales - John/Sherlock. Virgin!Sherlock, and brilliantly, believably, brittly done. The interaction between Mycroft and Sherlock is possibly the best I've read and manages to encapsulate their relationship in just a few paragraphs. Sherlock voice is perfect and the somewhat disjointed writing style works so well. And oh the sex scene... Gorgeous and shivery. Highly recced.
Undressing - John/Sherlock. This is a gorgeous, hot, and above all an interesting look at clothes and nakedness and the meaning of both. A unique story.
