Here I've got a WIP I like very much. It's been updated quite regularly so it shouldn't be a problem.
It's about Sherlock and Lestrade and how they first met in 1995 when Sherlock was a homeless, drug-addicted teenager. Seven years later they meet again and Lestrade realises what a genius he's discovered and how useful he can be for the Met. It's non-slash and very well written.

The story's a sort of prequel to two longer fics which are quite interesting and dramatic. They're set after TGG but show another outcome than the one we know from ASIB. They feature John (non-slash) and Moriarty. However, in these Sherlock is characterised as being an autist and showing some of the classic symptoms (i.e. he appears in some ways like a victim and less stronger than in the series). If you don't like this, don't read it.

Thank you, that sounds really interesting. I've just started reading "Collateral Damage" and it's very good so far. Sherlock's autistic symptoms are woven well into the story and presented in a way that makes them seem quite plausible. It surely makes him appear a bit weak, but it is a nice change from the many other stories where he is mostly just described as quarrelsome or arrogant.
Best sentence so far: Don't assume it meant that he cares for you more than he would for any stranger with a load of snipers threatening them. That's just the way he is. That nearly made me cry.

Hehehe found a cute little sick fic, where John has a cold and Sherlock doesn't know what to do.

The Common Cold

Now, I've got one that really, really got me hooked. It's very well crafted, I simply couldn't stop reading. But, and this is a big BUT: it's extremely brutal. All the warnings the author gives are justified. So, if you are very sensitive give it a wide berth. If not, it will make a gripping read.

No slash. Well drawn characters. Additional information like detailed timelines in the appendix.

Post Reichenbach. Forty months after his faked death Sherlock returns to London after having learned that John has been abducted.

John gives Sherlock a taste of his own medicine:

This time cheating & including 2 recs in one post:

Summarised by fic's author as:

Written for prompt. Mycroft planned the meeting of his brother and Watson, because it takes a particular type of person to cope with Sherlock Holmes.

I liked this little story:

Catching the Wind
Summary: "Sherlock is a stranger, looking at himself through broken, tempered glass. Amnesia is a tricky thing. Good thing he has John."

Some parts may be a little halting - I think the author is not a native English speaker -, but it is well-written and very emotional.

Here's one by the wonderful Kerkerian-Horizon. She's German and writes excellent English. I love all of her fics. 
This one is non-slash and tells the moving story of how old Sherlock and John live together. Very moving.

So On We Go

Summary: Four times Mycroft was allowed to be a brother and one time he really, really wasn't.

A Mycroft-POV 5-things fic which was just really lovely! A tad OOC at the end but that's ok.

Thank you for the rec, Wholocked, I was just in need of something new.

Salvage
Sherlock returns and the boys salvage what's left of one another, putting their lives back together and solving mysteries along the way.

I'm nearly done with this one. It's written well, and your slash-glasses don't have to be very strong. Thanks once more for recommending!

I've recently read three (IMO excellent) non-slash fics by author Kali47, which I'd like to recommend here. If you like exciting case-fics, as well as quite a lot of brotherly Sherlock-Mycroft-interaction, you'll love these.

The Long Week: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7911580/1/The-Long-Week
summary: Sherlock negotiated with Mycroft 24 hours at Baskerville. Therefore when his brother comes to him with a case, the detective simply cannot refuse... and all hell's breaking loose.

Behind Closed Doors: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8086632/1/Behind-Closed-Doors
summary: A violent serial killer roams the streets of West London in what quickly turns out to be Sherlock and John's most frustrating case ever.

Two Words: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8318174/1/Two-Words (fun fact for all German forum members: this takes mostly place in Germany ;-))
summary: When Mycroft mysteriously disappears somewhere in central Europe and the worst is assumed, Sherlock and John get on the very first plane which is vaguely heading in the right direction.
