Title: Ain’t Seen the Sunshine (Since I Don’t Know When)
Author: Eleanor K 
Pairing: John/Lestrade 
Length: 27,700 words
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Can't think of any
Verse: Sherlock 
Author's summary: Written for a prompt on the Sherlock fic meme where John is Sherlock and Mycroft’s nanny. It’s also somehow warped into a massive retelling of Hound of the Baskervilles.
Reccer's comments: I love this verse so much. I know the premise sounds cracky but the storytelling is amazing.  I am not really a John/Lestrade shipper but John and Lestrade are really very cute here.   The real heart of this story is the relationship that develops between John and 5 year old Sherlock and 12 year old Mycroft.  Even if you don't like kidfic give this story a chance.  The kids in question are Sherlock and Mycroft after all and they are both perfectly themselves, just as kids.

Title: Snowflakes (Like Dust in the Sun)
Author: Eleanor K
Pairing: John/Lestrade
Length: 6,741 words
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Can't think of any
Verse: Sherlock
Author's summary: Christmas sequel to "Ain't Seen The Sunshine"
Reccer's comments:  This is a very sweet story and really it's a day in the life of this odd, adorable little family just before Christmas. There are also two blogs in this verse.  John's blog Nothing Happens to Me and Lestrade's Interesting murders not boring stuff .  These blogs are fabulous and much better written than the blogs put out by the BBC.  They are interactive fan fic chronicling the lives of John, Lestrade, and the boys. They are so much fun to read.  The conversations in the comments are usually a blast.   I really can not recommend this verse highly enough.

Just read the first one and I'm dashing off to read the next, but I had to stop and thank you for reccing these. This is a truly amazing AU! I love John as nanny and the two boys discovering that he's different from their other caretakers.

Wonderful!

As epic as the first one is, you just can't beat Sherlock for adorable in the sequel <3 And awwww, the bit with Mycroft and Anthea, aaaaawwwwwwwww.
