Hi Steph!!! Hoping you can help me since @bluebellofbakerstreet is trying to kill us all softly ...

Are there any John in a kilt stories?

Preferably making Sherlock all hot and bothered?

Hey Lovely!

Ahh, I do have an old Community Recs list from 2019 here, but you're giving me a good reason to make a new list of my own; I have enough on my MFL list to make one of my own, after all.

Please, if you guys have any, add them below! <3 I’ve only added anything that a search of “kilt” gave me on my personal offline list :) I know there are a tonne that I may have not tagged, and I surely don’t have nearly all of them.

It's always nice when I'm able to write a Johnlock ficlet. I did write it at 10 pm so I need to look back at it tomorrow and see if it's good enough or if it needs a bit of extra work. I had an iea in my head, but in my head, they were in college but I think I wrote it as them as adult, already at 221 B. Totally not canon compliant in any way.

“John. John? Are you awake?”

“Yes, Love. What’s wrong?”

“N-Nothing. Go back to sleep.” Sherlock whispers, smiling in the dark when John presses closer to his back, moving his leg up and down against Sherlock’s before settling again.

“John?”

“Yes, Sherlock?”

“Are you- Do you regret it?” Sherlock asks, so soft he hopes John doesn’t hear it but of course he does. He feels it in the way John’s body goes rigid, in the way he presses closer for a second.

“No, Love. No. I don’t. Do you?” John asks back, just as soft, his breath warm on Sherlock’s shoulder.

“No. No, I’ve wanted this for a long time.” Sherlock says, feeling John’s lips press a kiss on his shoulder, John’s hand stroking his chest and Sherlock sighs, body already reacting to the touches.

“Why did you ask, Love?” John asks, hand traveling down lower, over Sherlock’s belly, resting there and Sherlock shifts, pressing his arse against John and feeling his cock, already half hard.

“I just. I just wanted to make sure.” Sherlock says, breath hitching when John pushes forward, his hand going towards Sherlock’s groin, fingertips touching his pubic hair.

“Make sure?” John moves, whispering in Sherlock’s ear, licking the shell and it makes Sherlock moan, pressing a hand to his mouth to stop himself.

“I like hearing you, Love. Don’t silence yourself.” John says, nibbling Sherlock’s earlobe, letting out a soft chuckle before speaking. “You hardly ever shut up normally, why would you now?”

“John.” Sherlock keens, hips bucking up when John grabs his cock, just holding it and it’s such an intimate thing that it makes Sherlock breathless and lost for words.

“Love? Sherlock? Everything okay?” John asks after a moment, beginning concern in his tone of voice and Sherlock wants to reassure him but he still can’t speak. Not while JOhn is holding him like this, strong fingers around his cock. Steady and secure. It’s stupid, Sherlock knows that, but he feels safe and protected like this with John at his back.

“Sherlock?” John moves, releasing him and Sherlock wants to kick himself for his reaction when John turns on the nightlamp, everything coming into the light.

@chained-to-the-mirror this really will be porn without a plot.

The codependency in Johnlock-

I was thinking about this today.

In Many Happy Returns, John says, "I can tell you what to do. You can stop being dead."

He's drinking a lot and he still hasn't moved past the 'please stop being dead' thing since TRF. Everyone else has moved on with their lives but John is still stuck at that point. He's still grieving deeply even after two years.

If Sherlock hadn't returned to London, if he'd actually died, John would've been fixated on that thing for the rest of his life. Sure, he started dating Mary and was going to propose to her in that restaurant but I really don't think he would've been quite invested in that relationship with her

(He's not invested in that relationship with her even in Sherlock's presence but still. You get my point.)

If Sherlock had died, he would've just drunk a lot, with sleepless nights, self blaming, survivor's guilt, etc and his suicidal tendencies would've returned.

He would've married Mary, life would've continued normally (on the surface) and at one point John would've come to about Mary's criminal record. He would've still got to know about that even in that situation because of CAM (or through some other source).

Double heartbreak. John would've been completely alone in this whole world.

He doesn't get along with Harry, he doesn't mention his parents at all- probably they're not in the picture- and he doesn't have any other friends apart from Sherlock. Mike tried to reach out him in ASIP but John's response, in turn, was quite cold.

He wasn't quite keen on continuing his profession as a GP (we'd seen that much in The Blind Banker). He would've gone to his new clinic for some time but he would've done his job in a half-arsed way.

He didn't have any other hobbies either. He'd stopped updated his blog after Sherlock's supposed death.

I believe if Sherlock had died for real with no possibility of coming back, it's quite a high possibility that John would've committed suicide, eventually.

The same thing happens in Series 3. John gets married. Sherlock's drug addiction has relapsed.

J-What kind of case would need you doing this?

S-I might as well ask you why you’ve started cycling to work. (X)

This theme is surprisingly carried over to S4 as well even if that season doesn't feel connected to the rest of the show.

John abandons Sherlock after Mary's death. Sherlock is high out of his mind, weeks away from death, he's going crazy in 221 B.

John is at his own place in The Lying Detective, drinking way too much once again, clearly not okay. He's just this 👌🏻 close to dying as well. (He's grieving for Mary but lack of Sherlock's presence is also a contributory factor).

John has pushed Sherlock away himself and he's actively hating on him in this episode but he even in that state he obviously needs Sherlock (he'd never admit it but it's quite clear that he does).

John's desperation was obvious in the beginning of His Last Vow too.

J-Is it Sherlock Holmes you're looking for? Because I haven't seen him in ages.

M- A month.

He's visibly angry and frustrated at literally everyone who's NOT Sherlock. He's dying to meet him even if it's only been a month since his wedding day.

So what I'm trying to say is, as much as I love Johnlock, I can't overlook this unbelievable amount of codependency in their relationship. It's unhealthy but fun to have a close look at.

You try separating them from each other, they'll become physically miserable and they will throw themselves in front of fatal danger which would eventually lead to their death in quite a short period of time.

I used to think that 'I can't live without you' was supposed to be a cliché. Just an exaggeration that people say to their significant others.

Apparently that's not the case with Sherlock and John. It becomes quite literal when these two are concerned.

Conclusion- If you write a Holmes adaptation or a story, you don't ever seperate Holmes and Watson from each other. You do that and you watch them die (for real, this isn't even an exaggeration).

D'you know what's actually frustrating?

It's the fact that the creators of this show already knew about this. They were the ones who wrote their version of Holmes and Watson like that and the above mentioned subplots are taken from their show. They wrote it in that way themselves. The codependency and everything.

And yet they did exactly that. Separate Holmes from his Watson, that is (in TST and TLD).

They broke the rules of their own show and that's why here I am, ranting about the show even in 2023 lol.

[ First Prompt: Johnlock. Adroidlock. Based in Detroit become Human. Apologise for my English in Advance! We can continue here if you like or via email :33 ]

The cases were getting more complex. The streets of London were more dangerous.

And for that they had created him. Sherlock Holmes. The most advanced Android ever created by CiberLife.

The most characteristic features are his ability to observe and reconstruct the crime scene in his mind, his advanced technology to analyze data and samples in seconds, and his quick and rational mind applied in moments of stress. Sherlock was exceptionally smart, cold, and determined, ready to do anything to succeed in his mission.

It was made to help the Scotland Yard Police to reduce crime in the City of London. Although his personality might be difficult, his efficiency was excellent.

But as an Android, he needed a Master. And by fate, he was assigned to John Hamish Watson, a Doctor who had been in the army, fighting in Afghanistan, until a bullet in his shoulder ended up with his return to England. In exchange for being with the Android, and share information with the Company, they could live comfortably on 221 B Baker Street.

Sherlock had already got used to live with the Doctor. They had solved several cases together.

However, cases of 'Divergents' appeared. Androids capable of feeling. To go against human orders. To be able to even kill humans. And Sherlock had to investigate them and stop them.

London wasn't being nice to the Androids either. The protest against the androids were more frequent. It was becoming dangerous both to the Androids and Humans.

Sherlock was thinking about all this, playing the violin in the living room, in front of the window, like always. However, something was clearly bothering him. He stopped playing his instrument. "John. You shouldn't keep coming with me to the cases." He said at last.

My fave SherlockBBC AU´s: demon fics

Around mid-month I´ll do a fic rec list with my fave AU genres or tropes. Summaries are taken from OP´s on AO3.

1 distantstarlight @i-still-am-distantstarlight 23-Wedding Wings

https://archiveofourown.org/works/10983927

John is an angel who finds himself trying to catch the eye of a demon who theoretically should be completely repelled by him. Instead, the demon invites John to live with him on the mundane plane.

2 distantstarlight Consumed

https://archiveofourown.org/works/12361059

Sherlock Holmes suffers an unexpected side-effect after he is nearly sexually assaulted during a case. He and John are both living at 221 B Baker Street once more, but things haven't been easy for either of them. The assault changes Sherlock in ways he cannot explain, and he fears that he has become an uncontrollable monster.

3 GodenUsagi @fancybedelia Caution (Into the wind)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/2695322

Companion piece to entanglednow´s

During a restless walk, John stumbles across a recently summoned demon trapped in a containment circle.

4 MapleleafCameo A Certain Kind of Hunger

https://archiveofourown.org/works/4947685

A concerned Sherlock watches as John seems to be rapidly losing weight. What he discovers is that John really isn't normal. And he is very, very hungry. The tail was the real surprise.

5 Trajektoria Sympathy for the Demon

https://archiveofourown.org/works/1938504

John has been very careful about hiding his true identity, but some things are impossible to conceal under the watchful eye of Sherlock Holmes. Who, as it turns out, has a few secrets of his own. What will change between them when the truth is laid bare?

6 Calais_Reno @calaisreno A Demon´s Tale

https://archiveofourown.org/works/24715747

“I wanted a proper scary demon,” he says. “I was thinking of one who could intimidate bullies, make people listen to me, and fetch the biscuits from the top shelf. Instead I get a short, cuddly, clumsy—” “Clumsy?” I'll admit to short and cuddly, but I am very coordinated. Definitely not clumsy. He is annoyed that he ended up with a demon who doesn’t act demonic. He gets shouty and insults me, calls me a rubbish demon. This hurts my feelings. Really, he should be happy he has a demon who makes tea and keeps the bed warm.

7 entanglednow @entanglednow Blood Will Out

https://archiveofourown.org/works/2695220

Companion piece to GoldenUsagi´s

The house smells like a gunfight, blood and burning air.

8 Gem_Gem and harrylee94 Trapped

https://archiveofourown.org/works/12586796

During his most recent case, Sherlock finds himself in the hands of the very people he had been trying to pursue. This mistake lands him in a cell, already occupied by a strange man who calls himself John. But who is John? And why does he look so... hungry?

Fanfics I Really Liked in March ´22

So. Since I keep a list of what I´ve read anyway (there´s always a list), I will rec all the fics I´ve wholly enjoyed on a monthly basis. Old and new, canon or AU, big or small authors, long or short but nearly always Johnlock(-ish).

L.O.V.E. by @helloliriels

https://archiveofourown.org/works/34241245/chapters/85193302

A different first meeting and a soulmate AU. Beautifully written characters and a heart-warming love story bordering being poetry. Sigh.

Pinch Me by @ohlooktheresabee

https://archiveofourown.org/works/30039615

Sherlock goes to a St. Patrick´s Day party. Can´t say more because spoilers but this fic made me grin the whole time. Although I was suspecting “something” the fic still surprised me in a very delightful way.

Limerence by SherlockWatson_Holmes

https://archiveofourown.org/works/14903963/chapters/34519442

The East Wind Echoes by SherlockWatson_Holmes

https://archiveofourown.org/works/28690623/chapters/70337751

Two fics by the same author who manages to balance the re-invention of (parts of) S4 with BBC canon. Much more believable storyline imho and suspenseful plots that sometimes hit you hard in the gut. No archive warnings chosen by author, just so you know...

The Grit on the Lens by Silvergirl @totallysilvergirl

https://archiveofourown.org/works/32684143

John teaches Sherlock about emotions. 1416 words, each one is perfect, poetic and lyrical. I only feel adoration for this writing style.

How To Give Your Boyfriend Who Doesn´t Know He´s Your Boyfriend the Best Valentine´s Day Ever by unicornpoe

https://archiveofourown.org/works/13689123

What is says on the tin. Sherlock deduces that John is his boyfriend and now he only has to ensure John realizes that, too. Unadulterated and unrepentant fun.

To the Vicctor Go the Spoils by @cumbercurlygirl

https://archiveofourown.org/works/37285351/chapters/93032005

Bratty rider Sherlock + annoyed stablehand John = angry sex in the straw. Steamy!

----------------------------------------------------

Special feature: The author I_ship_an_armada

https://archiveofourown.org/users/i_ship_an_armada/works

I love their AUs! So imaginative, often romantic, more often with delicious hurt/comfort.

For example, piratelock “A further Sea” (it´s on my pirate AU rec list, of course), “Of chaos and calculation” Roman AU, “Perdition´s Flames” STID crossover, “The Ghost and Doctor Watson” ghostlock, unfinished but still worth a read and many many more.

104 Anmerkungen – Gepostet 2. April 2022

My Fave Sherlock BBC AUs: Time and Space fics

Around mid-month I´ll do a fic rec list with my fave AU genres or tropes. Summaries are taken from OP´s on AO3.

Buckle up: this long list features time travel, space, sci-fi, aliens, dystopia and robots

-----------------------------------------

SPACE/ALIEN/ROBOT

“The Kepler Problem” by kinklock

https://archiveofourown.org/works/4502136

Working in uncharted space exploration was not as exciting as John had hoped, especially when it turned out to be mostly bot maintenance on uninhabited planets. However, the mystery of the repeated, unexplained malfunctions on planet BAK 2212 might turn out to be exactly the kind of adventure he'd been craving.

“The Ichor of Talos” by Nikoshinigami

https://archiveofourown.org/works/19703737

After being convicted of the murder of Sherlock Holmes, Dr. John Watson is sentenced to confinement, therapy, and to the constant companionship of a hologram of his victim to aid in his rehabilitation. While John remains uncertain of his guilt, Sherlock is only too happy to engage in the mystery of his own murder to try and discover why he died and how events set his path to cross with the war-ravaged stranger he's now posthumously bound to.

“The Orpheus Crucible” by Nikoshinigami

https://archiveofourown.org/works/19706218

(sequel to Ichor of Talos)

No one knows where Simulants come from and those who have asked have had better things to do than pursue the answer when faced with extermination. With war still a present concern and Jim Moriarty's involvement left uncertain outside of its threat, the crew of the Black Manta may have taken on much more than they presumed to.

And among the many mysteries left to face them in their voyage lies the answer to the question that has been posed since the very beginning: who killed Sherlock Holmes?

“The Third Kind” by Goldenusagi @fancybedelia

https://archiveofourown.org/works/1871880

The one where Sherlock does know the solar system. Because he’s an alien.

“One of those galactic law things” by Goldenusagi @fancybedelia

https://archiveofourown.org/works/2082651

Ficlet following The Third Kind. In which Mycroft discovers Sherlock has abducted John.

“Space Travel” by candle_beck

https://archiveofourown.org/works/178029

I would literally cross light-years for you, if someone would only give me a spaceship.

“Identification-series” by tartanfics (8 fics)

https://archiveofourown.org/series/26877

In the London of 2081, aerotaxis are commonplace, personal identification is tied to computers, and robots are tightly regulated. John Watson, former army roboticist, has an expired license and an illegal tri-wing screwdriver in his desk. Sherlock Holmes has fingerprints and a name, and in an office somewhere in Whitehall there are blueprints for the metal underneath his perfect, artificial skin.

“A Hundred Crimson Sols” by elldotsee @elldotsee

My Fave Sherlock BBC AUs: Sports fics

Around mid-month I´ll do a fic rec list with my fave AU genres or tropes. Summaries are taken from OP´s on AO3.

Not featuring ballet because there is a separate rec list.

-------------------------------------

“Sticking the Landing” by SweetMandolins

https://archiveofourown.org/works/8797708

John Watson, Captain of Team GB’s gymnastics squad is confident and primed for his third and final Olympics. Disappointed in London with a shoulder injury putting paid to his Olympic dream, can he secure an Olympic gold finish before retirement? Meanwhile, Sherlock Holmes has other problems. Men’s Rhythmic Gymnastics is the newest Olympic sport, but a series of peculiar accidents both on and off the floor have taken out some of the competitors. Does something more sinister lurk under the spangles and spandex? Can Sherlock solve the mystery in time to deliver a flawless ball routine? And does something more valuable than medals await the boys in Rio?

“Thermocline” by J_Baillier @jbaillier

https://archiveofourown.org/works/22068541

John "Five Oceans" Watson — technical dive instructor, dive accident analyst and weapon of mass seduction — meets recluse professor of maritime archaeology Holmes. As they head out to a remote archipelago off the coast of Guatemala to study and film its shipwrecks for a documentary, will sparks fly or fizzle out?

“Summit Fever” by J_Baillier @jbaillier

https://archiveofourown.org/works/16143296

After graduating from medical school, John Watson followed his heart to the Himalayas. Ten years later, he's a haunted cynic working for his ex-lover's trekking and mountaineering company. Will leading an expedition to Annapurna I — the most lethal of all the world's highest mountains — shake John out of his reverie, and who is the mystery client added to the group at the last minute?

“Passion connected” by songlin

https://archiveofourown.org/works/14298093

(This is unfinished but imo still worth a read!)

John Watson retired after an injury pulled him out of the 2010 Winter Olympics. He's resigned himself to living out his days sharpening skates in Catawissa, Pennsylvania, fighting with his drunk sister and watching his number of students dwindle away.

Sherlock Holmes was banned from competition for a doping violation he did not commit before the 2014 Winter Olympics. Ever since, he has whiled away his time on odd jobs as skater after skater fires him as a coach. He no longer dreams of proving his innocence and making his comeback.

Uphill by scullyseviltwin @scullyseviltwin

https://archiveofourown.org/works/1179526

Sherlock Holmes is striving for gold in this, his fourth and final Olympics as a downhill Alpine racer.

“Working on the Edges” by earlgreytea68 @earlgreytea68

https://archiveofourown.org/works/1185555

No matter where you put Sherlock and John, they click. Including the Winter Olympics.

“Tennis-series” by JupiterAsh (7fics)

https://archiveofourown.org/series/16847

starting with “A Study in Winning”

John and Sherlock are professional tennis players and it’s Wimbledon. One is a broken almost was at the end of his career, the other an arrogant rising star tipped for greatness. It should have been a straightforward tournament. It really should have been. How were they to know that a chance encounter would change everything?

“Gimme Shelter” by SinceWhenDoYouCallMe_John @sincewhendoyoucallme-john

Meine #1 des Jahres 2022

My fave SherlockBBC AUs: Soldier & Spy fics

Around mid-month I´ll do a fic rec list with my fave AU genres or tropes. Summaries are taken from OP´s on AO3.

1 abundantlyqueer “Two Two One Bravo Baker”

https://archiveofourown.org/works/180121

Captain John Watson of 40 Commando, the Royal Marines, is assigned to protect and assist Sherlock Holmes as he investigates what appears to be a simple war atrocity in Afghanistan. An intense attraction ignites between the two men as they uncover a conspiracy that threatens everything they’ve ever known, but Sherlock is as much hunted as hunter, and everyone close to him is in deadly danger. Can he solve the case in time to save himself and John?

2 DiscordantWords @discordantwords “The Dead Detective”

https://archiveofourown.org/works/14400681

John Watson has spent the last three years of his life simply going through the motions. A chance encounter with a man claiming to be a stranded spy changes everything.

3 sgam76 @sgam76 “These old shades”

https://archiveofourown.org/works/17580107

Memory has always been Sherlock's best tool--his weapon of choice, in fact. But there have been times in his life when his memory is also his worst enemy. Right now is one of those times.

(In fact, the whole Scheherezade-Verse, with the same named fic being part one, is awesome and often features Sherlock´s hiatus time or his earlier work for MI6 as a spy. Check them all out!)

4 sgam76 “Redemption”

https://archiveofourown.org/works/8390473

The reappearance of James Moriarty means an initial reprieve for Sherlock Holmes. But the consequences of that reappearance put not just the Holmes boys, but most of the world, at risk. An emerging threat in Eastern Europe brings visions of the plagues of the Middle Ages--but that's the least dangerous part.

5 StarlightAndFireflies @i-still-am-distantstarlight “Espionage and Exfiltration”

https://archiveofourown.org/works/7047547

Sherlock has worked for the British Government as a spy for years, never finding satisfaction in the profession thanks largely to his brother's meddling. But when he is to be sent on a promising mission in the middle of the night, he finds himself rather intrigued. And then there is the man being sent along with him... AU in which Sherlock works as a spy and gets paired with a certain ex-army man during a mission.
