Nest Among the Stars by KeelieThompson1
Series: Part 5 of Ava Watson verse
Pairing: John/Sherlock
Length: 109,956 words
Rating: Mature
Warnings: None given

Author's summary: Sequel to Rocks of Salvation. With John recovering, Ava surviving numerous takaways and Mycroft taking care of Moriarty, everything in Sherlock's life seems to be falling into place. But how long will it take before Moriarty gets bored? Johnlock. Read chapter warnings as dark themes are ahead.
Reccer's comments: I LOVE this series and the latest installment in it, Nest Among the Stars. In my opinion, this story (and series) is a masterpiece of storytelling. (I know the series has already been recc’d here, but not this story as it was still a WIP. And yes, Keelie has promised more in this series!) If you don’t know the Ava Watson verse, you can look up its rec on the 221B spreadsheet in the sidebar, but in a nutshell it’s a kidfic told through different POVS with each story revealing another piece of the plot. The pleasure for the reader is discovering the answer to a missing piece of the story.
Nest has everything beginning with angst, angst, and more angst. (I know. What can I say? But it is SO worth it!) There were times I was stunned from the surprise and action. The scenes with Lestrade, Mycroft, and Moriarity had me either comforted or terrified. And John and Sherlock? *hugs them* This story made my heart beat with adoration for BAMF!John and Sherlock’s brilliance, aloofness, and gut-wrenching vulnerability. Holding it all together is John and Sherlock’s love for each other and their fierce love and protectiveness for their daughter, Ava. If you like plot, puzzles, suspense, and thrilling action, this story (and series) is not to be missed! Bring a hankie, you're going to need it.
P.S. Thanks again for the opportunity to share my recommendations. It was a pleasure.
