Title: An Avalance of Detour Signs
Author: gyzym
Pairing: Molly Hooper/DI Lestrade, [Molly Hooper/Jim Moriarty]
Length: 56,053
Rating: Mature
Warnings: None
Verse: BBC Sherlock
Author's summary: "In which Molly Hooper gets a job, gets a degree, breaks a heart, has her heart broken, falls in love, keeps a secret, saves a life, runs a morgue, falls apart, pulls it together, and finds exactly what she didn't know she was looking for--not necessarily in that order."
Reccer's comments: Anything written by gyzym is guaranteed to be absolutely astounding, and this is no exception.  It's the story of Molly Hooper's adult life and the biggest secret she ever kept.  She's a fully-fleshed character, real and brave and human, and every note is pitch-perfect.

Title: Recruiting
Author: jim_in_westwood
Pairing: Jim/Sebastian
Length: 6,000
Rating: R
Warnings: Author listed: Jim's bad language, James Joyce.
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: Six years ago, Jim Moriarty was looking for applicants for head minion. Sebastian Moran was happy to apply.

Reccer's comments: I had a hard time picking with of the brilliant Westwood Living series to rec, they are all so good, but in the end I decided to start with the first one, because well, it's the beginning. Anyway, the fic is from Jim's POV, which is twisted in the best possible ways, and details how his Sebastian started working for him in the first place. And, yes, their relationship is messed up and terrible and involves lots of ouchies, but it's also tender and affectionate and makes your heart happy. They just... work. So, yeah. Click on the link and then sit back and prepare to start rooting for the bad guy.
