The Makings of a Good Man / by thebermuda (R)

Title: The Makings of a Good Man
Author: thebermuda 
Fandom: Sherlock (BBC)
Pairings: Sherlock/OFC
Genre: Case!fic, Romance, General
Length:  Medium (Words: ~80k and counting)

Author's Summary:
In which the villain shoots himself before the story starts and everyone else must fix the mess he made. Sherlock and a woman genius, Dr. Madder, travel the world to solve a threefold problem: a perfectly genuine computer code, a broken sniper, and Jim Moriarty's psychopathic ally, Adelbert Gruner (from The Illustrious Client).

Review:
Don't let yourself be put off by the OFC pairing.  She's well-written and fits into the Sherlock storyverse well and the pairing isn't forced and doesn't push Sherlock OOC.  There's also plenty of plot to go along with this pairing as Sherlock is drawn into helping the OC (a math, programing, and cryptography supergenius) destroy all record of her work on a key Moriarity badly wants and can't be allowed to get under any circumstances.

I love the portrayal of autism in this fic.  I really, really love it.  In particular, I  think the handling of sensory issues associated with autism scene is really well written.  I also like the contrast between autistic!Sherlock and psychopath!Moriarity, particularly in the childhood stories slipped into this fic periodically.

(Sacred) In the Ordinary / by idyll (NC-17)

Title: (Sacred) In the Ordinary
Author: idyll
Fandom: Teen Wolf
Pairings: Stiles/Derek, past Lydia/Stiles, Chris Argent/Sheriff Stilinski, Allison Argent/Scott McCall
Genre: Family, Romance, General
Length: Medium (Words: 78,759)

Author's Summary:
The Pack, after college, graduate school and the starting of careers, comes back to Beacon Hills. Nothing's gotten less complicated after all this time. Based on a kink meme prompt that grew legs and got serious.  This is a whole lot of pack!fic with a very slow build Derek/Stiles.

Review:
This is a future fic, when the characters are all adults returned from college and starting their careers (and maybe, possibly, taking over the world!) and I really like this one in part because it only focuses on the characters that I actually like from the show, and also because I seriously love the whole touchy-feeling pack thing going on here.  The characters are well done, taking into account that they're older than canon and the slow development of the main Stiles/Derek relationship is lovely.  I also like that Stiles is totally BAMF, both in his physical capabilities when backed up by the wolves and in his ability to get his way with his words.  I also like how Stiles cares for everyone - this is a sweet, well-written Families of Choice fic.
