An Avalanche Of Detour Signs by gyzym
Sherlock
Rating: NC-17| 56,053 words | Molly Hooper/Greg Lestrade
Summary: In which Molly Hooper gets a job, gets a degree, breaks a heart, has her heart broken, falls in love, keeps a secret, saves a life, runs a morgue, falls apart, pulls it together, and finds exactly what she didn't know she was looking for--not necessarily in that order.

This is a really great character piece that fleshes out Molly and makes her and her experiences real. It's about Molly living her life, and there are high points and low points. I really love the phases that her relationship with Lestrade goes through and how slow the development is; it feels very genuine.

Rating: PG-13 | 3:38 | Peggy Carter/Steve Rogers | Song: I Lived by One Republic
Summary: Life goes on.

This is a vid about Peggy Carter & Steve Rogers, about the places where their paths intersect and where the lives that they live separated by time parallel each other. It's a vid that can reconcile the viewer with their story. Steve and Peggy don't get the future together that they might have imagined but they live, with everything that that verb entails - and that's pretty great.

Rating: PG-13 | 18,184 words | Eduardo Saverin
Summary: After the abject shitshow of Palo Alto, Eduardo's plans are to stop proving his father right about all his life decisions, shut up, graduate, and keep abusing the slow-healing wound from Mark's knife in the back until all the scar tissue is numb from dead nerve endings.

When Eduardo Saverin gets pushed out of Facebook he gets on with his life. There are some really great, real-feeling original characters in this. There's a little bit of snark in this; it's entertaining. It's the story of Eduardo truly getting over what happened with Mark and also recent college grads facing down adulthood (always hilarious) and settling into a career.
