Summary: After Holmes returns there are recriminations. And then changes, subtle and insidious. There may even be a plot afoot. If only Holmes were more of a detective.

Review: After the events of the second movie, Holmes comes back for good. This story is set in some mixture of the Movie series and the original books, since it wasn't clear from the end of the movie if Holmes would be keeping his survival secret.

This is a lovely, if a bit steamy, ending to the Game of Shadows movie, that resolves Mary and Holmes' tense relationship. As well as Holmes' aparent worry that he was going to die alone. It's sweet and saucy and I love how brilliantly oblivious Holmes is to what Mary and Watson are getting him involved in. After all a sleepy aid can't be too scary. Or can it?

Fandom: Dresden Files (book 'verse)
Pairing: Harry Dresden/John Marcone (with background Sigrun Gard/Nathan "Cujo" Hendricks, Anastasia Luccio/Karrin Murphy, Justine/Thomas Raith)
Categories: AU, drama, angst, romance, humor
Length: Epic (42,865 words)
Warnings: per author: "Trigger Warnings: Past child abuse, oblique reference to self-harm, serious portrayal of a character dealing with past trauma, realistic depiction of a panic attack, and abandonment issues. A few albeist remarks, because this is Harry Dresden we're talking about."

Summary:
In which Harry is the best baker in Chicago, but still ends up starting a few fires along the way.

Review:
I adore this story. I've always liked restaurant/bakery AUs, and this story substitutes Harry's talent with magic to a talent with baking. All the series regulars are there, with their roles slightly tweaked to fit the new setting. The trauma Harry suffered as a child in canon has been amplified, and the ramifications still reverberate through his life. The "bane of his existence" is John Marcone a corporate lawyer and regular customer with his adorable daughter, Ivy. Harry and John's interactions are mostly snark, until Harry's long Thomas comes to visit. There follow some romantic-comedy style miscommunications, fabulous baked good and cooking, Harry dealing with some intense PTSD, romantic and personal resolutions for Harry.
