NGC Recs Urban Fantasy
Stories that take place in a modern or futuristic context that involve magic, mythological creatures; etc. Things like ghosts and supernatural folk may be involved, but magic is the primary focus.
The line between “Urban Supernatural” and “Urban Fantasy” is pretty thin. In general, if both apply, it gets both. If the balance leans more towards the real world, it gets Urban Supernatural, and if it leans towards the magical/mythological world, it’s Urban Fantasy.

Summary
“A doctor,” Sherlock repeated, cracked words breaking right over John’s explanations. “And a soldier. And something more, now, too. Something I didn’t see.” He looked up to meet John’s gaze and narrowed his eyes. “I’ve been over it again and again since this morning and have utterly failed to find a logical explanation. What are you? A god?”
John snorted and straightened from the doorframe. “There are no such things as gods, Sherlock, and if there were, I wouldn’t be one.”

Summary
Charlie wanted Harry, but he’d never planned on having him. He’d never planned on Draco Malfoy, either. He hadn’t planned on anything but living out his days in Romania, with his friends and his dragons and his safe, peaceful distance.
Apparently, it wasn’t a very popular plan.
This is a story about crumbs and flickers and roots, running away and coming home; about falling in love without meaning to (twice), and having truly good friends, and the mutually revealing recognition between two people in love with the same man.

Summary
Severus had always known that he would die in a painful, most horrifying way ever since back when he was almost beaten to death by his father, then mauled by a werewolf, then thrashed around by a maniac overlord. His miserable, luckless life only seemed to lead to that one day when he would be struck down by a bloody snake, of all things.
Bleeding out in front of Harry Potter was just the last humiliation Lady Destiny had in store for him.
Suddenly staring into Potter senior’s eyes again while being levicorpused was just the icing on the cake.
