Summary
An introspective journey through the life and relationships of Sherlock Holmes.
"I can hear the bones hum beneath pale and freckled skin, this sack that holds my form together. Bits and pieces that start at the bottom and end at the top, hiding the blood, muscle, fat. Cells, knit together, constantly in motion. They'll live and die, and replicate, until total equilibrium is met."

Summary
Dumbledore, when the man reaches the podium, shakes his hand. Harry watches him as he sits down beside the unfamiliar witch, who watches him with trepidation.
“…as I was saying, until further notice, the Quidditch Cup as you know it is cancelled,” Dumbledore says, voice sedate. “May I introduce Professors Moody and Potter, who will be working in conjunction with each other to cover both Defence Against the Dark Arts and the newly-revived History of Magic positions.”
-
There's a mystery witch in Hogwarts with the name 'Potter' and it isn't long before Harry - the Boy Who Lived, youngest seeker in a century who apparently won't be playing quidditch this year - becomes curious.
Who in the world is E.L. Potter?

Summary
After having used up all favours he had with people at foreign intelligence services, Mr Holmes had tracked Sherlock down. Andrea really wished she didn’t know about some of the things he had promised to get the information he needed, because she wasn’t sure she was ready to lie under oath for him. He had asked for help, though, and to Lady Smallwood she had no problem bending the truth a little.
Most people think she is Mr Holmes' PA. Her nieces think she is a spy. Lady Smallwood knows she’s neither. Mr Holmes knows she’s both. Her dates think she works in politics. The woman in question… isn’t sure.

Summary
This is the story of a young consulting detective who wants nothing to do with marriage and an army doctor who wants to find true love. It's 2020 post-Brexit England and the British government is encouraging arranged marriages. Candidates meet through state-run agencies and date in hopes of finding love (and tax benefits). Sherlock doesn't need or want a spouse, at least not until John Watson shows up. Hesitant to give in to his more carnal urges because of the way they derail his mind, how will Sherlock progress toward the more intimate aspects of a relationship? The answer lies in a very special wedding gift.

The World's Most Underpaid Babysitter [podfic] by Tenoko1
Fandoms: The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
11 Feb 2014
Tags
Summary
When the S.H.I.E.L.D higher-ups had first appointed him the head of the Avengers initiative, Nick Fury had never thought it’d boil down to this. All the job description said was to give them orders and get their asses into gear. He’d always known Stark would be a pain, but he’d never expected it to be like this.
Nick Fury never expected that six extraordinary people would manage to downgrade him from highly lauded international super spy to highly underpaid babysitter. [podfic; length 33 mins]

Summary
"Xie [...] had invented an entire pleasure-industry by combining superior visual aesthetics with impeccable personal attention. Drasha salons were by that time a feature of any even half-decent house of repose in every pleasure district in the British Isles, but once upon a time, when Xie debuted, there had been only one, and Xie had named it: the Icehouse."
*
In a contemporary dystopia, Unity is peace--despite the fact unsanctioned information, illicit currency, and every sort of danger flows unchecked in the world's pleasure districts.John Watson, a weary hired gun, is assigned by the mysterious Mentor to investigate a subversive element lurking in the Icehouse, the world's most famous House of Repose. As accustomed as he is to dealing with the unexpected, John is nevertheless woefully unprepared to meet the gem of the Ice house, Xie, the world renowned "drashaskaya," the living work of art after which all other drashas are modeled.
In sumptuous suites, amid trailing puddles of silk and fervent whispers in the night, John soon learns that nothing is as it seems in the floating world of London's pleasure district.
