Summary
“How is the wedding planning faring, Mrs. Dekarios?” asked Tara, paws primly crossed on the tablecloth.
“Quite well, considering the short notice,” responded Morena, pouring herself another cup of tea. “Octavia is being a dear about it - I think she finds it all very overwhelming.”
“And Gale?”
“Oh, as opinionated as always.” She waved a hand dismissively. “Being busy with his new position at Blackstaff leaves him with much less time to argue. And besides, I raised him to have good taste.”
Tara recalled a recent afternoon spent hunched over Gale’s kitchen table, mother and son debating the merits of different kinds of lilies for so long that Octavia had decamped to the library, only re-emerging when Gale had Sent her for dinner.
***
Gale is getting married. Tara has Opinions.

Summary
This is just a series of little 'character sketches' - interactions between Kurt and De Sardet as De Sardet was growing up. I love that there's a lifetime of history between the two of them and thought it would be fun to that explore a little. I've rated it as Teen for now, because so far it's fine. That said, I don't know where I'm going with it, so rating may change.
For those not interested in the 'early years' stuff, the *Feels* start happening around Chapter 10.
__
Chapter 20: This chapter references domestic violence, murder, and parental death. They're not detailed references - a sentence or two.
There's also a very vague reference to Kurt's past (those who've played the game know what I'm referring to), but again, it's a fleeting sentence and no worse than in game dialogue.
Chapter 27: Reference to blood, deep wounds, and stitches.
Chapter 31: Sex, but this can be omitted - it isn't necessary for the story. The sex I've written here is intended to be read as loving (in case this impacts whether or not you'd like to read it) and happens after a horizontal line in the text, so you can skip this and move onto the next chapter should you so desire.Bookmarked by Red_Elm

Summary
“This was like nothing John had ever thought to associate with Sherlock: stubble, skin-tight jeans and three small silver rings gleaming at the crest of one ear. It was unbelievable, like stepping into an alternative universe, and John couldn't stop staring.”
When Sherlock infiltrates a club in order to track down a serial killer, his altered appearance is enough to make John question his assumption that Sherlock is beyond his reach. However, is he the only one who appreciates his flatmate's charms, or is Sherlock at risk of becoming the next victim? (Warning: reviews may contain fic spoilers)
