Hey! I recently read a summary about a Johnlock fic (I think so) where Sherlock the interesting man with a limp walks in Dr. Watson's surgery & changed his life forever. I want to read this fic soo much. But unfortunately I'm unable to find it. I don't even remember the story's name!... Please, help me if you could!
Hey Anon!
Sounds very much like after hours by simplyclockwork 🙂

Howdy! I love all your fanfic recs, and was wondering. Do you happen to have any recs in which either Sherlock or John accidentally get drugged, do the other has to take care of him?
Hi Nonny!!!
I do!!! Actually I have enough fics to publish an updated new list, so I hope these please you! They're not EXACTLY what you're looking for, but I hope you'll like them anyway!!!
Enjoy!!

Once Upon A Time by ProfessorSquirrell (T, 908 w., 1 Ch. || Family, Snippets of Life, Romance, Sherlock’s Mind Palace, Implied Drug Use, Angst with Happy Ending) – There is a room in Sherlock's mind palace where nothing gets deleted. And it looks like this...
Upon This Throne by ifonlynotnever (T, 1,773 w., 1 Ch. || Pre-TRF, Angst, Romance, Sherlock’s Mind Palace, Introspection, Imagery, Pining Sherlock, Drug Use, Passage of Time) – Inside Sherlock's mind is a Palace.

He doesn’t stop to think about it.
Abhorring the Dull Routine of Existence by ardenteurophile (T, 7,963 w., 3 Ch. || Stimulants, Humour, Friendship) – Or, a Week Spent on Artificial Stimulants. Sherlock overdoses on Red Bull, much to John's dismay.

Laughing or drinking tea. Sitting across the table from him at Angelo’s eating pasta. Trailing his open hand behind him on the way to the bedroom. “C’mon, John. I’m about to have my way with you.”
Rupert Street by WritingOutLoud (M, 27,262 w., 9 Ch. || Alternate First Meeting || Case Fic, Sexuality, Demisexual Sherlock, Drugging, Smart John, Sherlock Has Internalized Biphobia, Fluff, Angst with Happy Ending, Gay Bar, Flirting, John Manipulates Sherlock to Eat, John Deduces, Arguments, Kidnapping/Torture, Hospitalization, John Whump) – Discharged from the war with nothing but the clothes on his back and a realisation of his bisexuality, John Watson has to learn who he’s become. He can’t afford London on an army pension, but the city is the only friend he has. In an effort to understand his newfound queer identity, he heads to a bar one night, where he stumbles across a mysterious stranger who turns his life upside down. ‘I dug around inside myself, and I'm not quite sure what I found, but it was beautiful and terrifying all at the same time.’

However, when you’re an elf and your flatmate is going to be a human you just met, this rather complicates things…Very loosely inspired by 'The Elves and The Shoemaker' by The Brothers Grimm.
Lucifer's Gardens by ampersand_ch (E, 32,679 w., 12 Ch. || Romance, Friendship, Friends to Lovers, Murder, Poison / Drugging, Mystery, John Undercover, Academic Club, Therapy, Rituals, Jungian Archetypes, Doctors & Physicians, Grief/Mourning, Esotericism, Hospitals, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Love Confessions, John Falls In Love With Another Man, Jealous Sherlock, Crying, Doctor John, Hand Holding, First Kiss/Time, Mysticism, Hugging, Touching) – John goes undercover for an investigation as a favour to Lestrade in a village in Suffolk.

Something is badly out of tune with the whole scenario and Sherlock finds himself becoming more and more obsessed with the crime - and also with the victim.
Lunar Landscapes by J_Baillier (M, 57,046 w., 21 Ch. || PODFIC AVAILABLE || S3/TAB Fix-It, Slow Burn Angst, Drama, Hurt/Comfort, Confessions, Drugs, Pain, Medical, Injury, Sherlock Whump, Mental Health Issues, Panic Attacks, Romance, Secrets, Tragedy, Trauma, BAMF John, Doctor!John, Drug Addict Sherlock, Injured Sherlock, Grieving John, Idiots In Love, Protective John, POV John Watson, PTSD Sherlock, Sherlock is a Mess, Medical Realism) – An accident forces John to face the fact that Sherlock's downward spiral had started long before his flight to exile even left the tarmac.
Spare Parts by Raina_at (E, 63,497 w., 10 Ch. || 24th Century / Futurism AU || Post TRF, Pre-TRF Relationship, Case Fic, Mutual Pining, Estrangement, Reconciliation, Science Fiction, Reunion, Nightmares, Angry John, Cybernetic John, Emotional Discussions / Heart to Heart, POV John, Scars, Past Drug Use, Forehead Touching, Emotional Lovemaking, Kissing, Apologies, Kidnapping, Rescue Mission, BAMF John, Bed Sharing, Top Sherlock) – Two years ago, Sherlock Holmes jumped off the roof of New London Hospital. Two months ago, he walked into John's clinic as if no time had passed at all. John hasn't seen him since. But then Sherlock knocks on John's door with a case he can't say no to, and while figuring out why the biggest manufacturer or synthetic limbs in the System is going after veterans, they also need to find out whether there's a way to fix what's broken between them. Part 1 of Realigning Gravity
Swallow the Night by ArwaMachine (E, 87,873 w., 15 Ch. || TSo3/Stag Night Fix It, TAB/S4 Divergence, Toplock, Mutual Pining, PWP, Drunk / Public Sex, Anal Fingering/Sex, Alcohol-Induced Amnesia, Everyone Knows Except Them, Emotional Love Confession, Demisexual Sherlock, Internalized Homophobia [John], Parentlock with Rosie, First Kiss, Drug Relapse, Infidelity, Texting, Masturbation, Oblivious John, Emotional Love Making, Angst with Happy Ending, Dreams and Nightmares) – “Do you know how long,” John panted, his cheek scraping against the wall, looking back at Sherlock through half-closed eyes, “I’ve wanted this?” Sherlock pressed himself against John’s back, biting at John’s ear. “Not nearly as long as I have,” he whispered.
Bakers with Benefits by Raina_at (E, 88,130 w., 14 Ch. || Great British Bake Off AU || Strangers to Lovers, Switchlock, Friends with Benefits, Mentions of Alcoholism / Past Drug Use, Banter, Flirting, Fluff, Light Angst, Semi-Public Sex, Past Sherlock/Victor, Mutual Pining, POV Sherlock, Obsessive Sherlock, John’s Bum) – Sherlock Holmes has a successful YouTube baking channel, but what he really wants is his own bakery. When an old friend sends him a call for the very first Great British Bake Off, he seizes the opportunity to finally win a sponsor for his bakery. Here's the plan: Win Bake Off, get the bakery, don't fall in love with the handsome Army doctor at the neighbouring station. Easy.
Northwest Passage by Kryptaria (E, 95,157 w., 27 Ch. || PODFIC AVAILABLE || Canadian AU || BAMF!John, Canadian John, PTSD, Anal / Oral Sex, Rimming, Emotional Hurt / Comfort, Drug Rehab, Falling in Love, Pining Sherlock, Love Confessions, Sherlock’s Violin, Panic Attacks, Switching, Anxious / Protective Sherlock, Hugs for Comfort, Suicide Mentions, Healing Each Other) – Seven years ago, Captain John Watson of the Canadian Forces Medical Service withdrew from society, seeking a simple, isolated life in the distant northern wilderness of Canada. Though he survives from one day to the next, he doesn't truly live until someone from his dark past calls in a favor and turns his world upside-down with the introduction of Sherlock Holmes." Part 1 of Tales from the Northwest
Drawn to Stars by Silvergirl (E, 109,272 w., 60 Ch. || S4 Compliant to TLD / TFP Doesn’t Exist, Sherlock’s Italian Adventure, Sherlock/OC and Johnlock, Jealous John, Mutual Pining, Misunderstandings, First Kiss/Time, Idiots in Love, 3 Part Story, Slow Burn, Inexperienced Sherlock, Bottom Sherlock, Introspection, Alternating First and Third Person POV, Separation and Reconciliation, Emotional Love Making, Love Confessions via Letters, Angst with Happy Ending) – After the Culverton Smith case Sherlock is clean, working, and looking for a romantic partner—since John has told him that’s what he needs. Shame John didn’t mention he was interested in that role himself, before Sherlock went off to Rome with a gorgeous Italian copper to try to fall in love and become a complete human being. Part 1 of the Drawn to Stars series
The Lost Special: Family Matters (As Do Relationships) by ShirleyCarlton (M, 144,688 w., 40 Ch. || S4 Fix It Fic / Meta Fic, Unreliable Narrator, John’s Mind Bungalow, Friends to Lovers, Happy Ending, Demisexual Sherlock, Holmes Family, John Whump, Gay Mycroft, Misunderstandings, Drug Addiction, Parenting, TFP is a Nightmare, Virgin Sherlock, Slow Burn, Minor Character Death, Switchlock, John’s Past, Sherlock’s Past, Eurus, Love Confessions) –Sherrinford is not really the name of some high security prison. That was just a figment of John’s frantic coma dream. And Eurus is not actually Sherlock’s sister. That’s just something random she said to John before shooting him. Sherlock and John were never actually estranged. That was just their act to cover up what really happened to Mary – or Rosamund Moran, as her real name has turned out to be. Sherlock does have a secret sibling, though, and his name is Sherrinford. After finally eliminating Moran – though in a rather dramatically different way than they had envisioned – and exposing the truth about Eurus, John encourages Sherlock to delve into his past and to find out whether the reasons to keep Sherrinford away from Sherlock were the right ones, and to discover what really happened in 1981. Along the way, Sherlock and John gradually, finally, stop keeping each other at a distance, and eventually become a proper family of their own.
Fallen Series by Belladonna_Q, mamishka (T, 222,094 w. across 3 works || Winglock || Angel!John, Angels & Demons, Faes, Christianity, Changelings) – In a world where myth, mystery, and the supernatural flourish beneath the veneer of modern civilization, Sherlock is a master of magic as well as science and deduction. But there are some things that he cannot see, riddles he cannot unravel, even when they walk right beside him in the form of one John Watson…

Your recs are brilliant. Do you ship any other ships? If yes, any fics that you’ve enjoyed? :)
i shipped johnlock once upon a time, and some of the fics that i remember being really good are:
A Chemical Defect Found (On the Losing Side Remix) by AreteArt
A remix of missselene's "On the Losing Side."
After Mary's death, John moves back into Baker Street. He and Sherlock stumble into a relationship, or something of that sort.
Sherlock's rather giving when it comes to sex, but that doesn't mean he and John ever talk about it.
~~~
ugh this made me hurt so bad
2. Gordian by fresne (@fresne999)
On any given day, Sherlock might come out of the bathroom smelling like an Alpha on the hunt (Alpha #8) or an Omega in heat (Omega #9), a Beta brooding (Beta #3), or like no gender at all. The last one was his actual scent, which wasn't so much scentless as confusing. At least in an adult.
If Sherlock and John were the sort of people to read Mills and Boon novels, they could have said that what occurred was because destiny intervened and set two destined lovers in their one true pairings' path.
It was the lasagna.
~~~
the oblivious pining in this fic slaps
3. ranger panties by simplyclockwork (@simplyclockwork)
While in London on leave, Captain John Watson and a particularly intriguing article of clothing manage to catch the attention of one consulting detective.

[half-assed fic rec]a.k.a. i read too much johnlock not to share some with you
Fortune Favours
by @simplyclockwork - (words: 5k / r: M) - Alternate First Meeting
On military leave, John Watson discovers that his sister has signed him up for a blind date book event. The set-up is simple: one person brings a book and ends up on a blind date with whoever chooses their contribution.
To say that John is reluctant to attend is an understatement. Luckily, sparks fly between him and a stunning new author when he makes an unorthodox selection from the book choices.
What a lovely re-imagining of their first meeting! The blind date setting provides some delightful anticipation as they get into something they didn't even sign up for (yay for meddling siblings!). And the banter between John and Harry is everything we didn't get from the show.

😊 for the fic rec ask game!! 🥰
Oh wow, a LOT of fics could fit these categories!! Here are just a few!
😊 A fic that made you smile on a bad day
A few months ago, I was having a real fuck-off of a day, and @simplyclockwork's oh captain, my captain series made it all better
And regardless of the day I am having, every single chapter update of @discordantwords' Whirlwind puts the biggest smile on my face
🥰 A fic that gives you warm fuzzy feelings
Okay, this is a VERY abridged list here!
all things warm and tender and a good old-fashioned happy ending, by darcylindbergh
And if you say the word, I could stay with you, Cracking the Code, and Ulysses, by CaitlinFairchild
About Sleep and Coffee and the Existence of Fate, by Atiki (honorable mention to Second Waltz, which definitely gave me the warm-and-fuzzies but also made me cry so hard I had a headache for hours after)
Thanks for the ask!

Fanfics I really liked in Dezember 2022
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).
“The Pillar Upon Which England Rests” by DiscordantWords @discordantwords
https://archiveofourown.org/works/5309249
John mourns Sherlock after The Fall and Mrs Hudson soothes him while telling her and Sherlock’s backstory.
“Fortune Favours“ by simplyclockwork @simplyclockwork
https://archiveofourown.org/works/39860103
On military leave John is sent to a blind date. Reluctantly, he goes and meets someone special. Guess who...
“All I want for Christmas is proof” by Raina_at @raina-at
https://archiveofourown.org/works/43551093
John gets the answer to his burning question whilst undercover at a costume party in a gay club. Funny stuff happens. Made me laugh!
“Empty Houses” by Raina_at @raina-at
https://archiveofourown.org/works/16297661
Sherlock comes home after The Fall and John is gone. Reliving it over and over again. Sad stuff happens. Made me (nearly) cry!
“Nothing to make a song about” by emmagrant01 @emmagrant01
https://archiveofourown.org/works/641558
John returns 10 years after breaking off his friendhip with Sherlock because he could not forgive him for The Fall. He finds Sherlock has changed but in another way not at all which he John realizes slowly and painfully.
“It wasn’t meant to go this way/The Things We Let Ourselves Believe” by 221blackandwhitestripes
https://archiveofourown.org/works/10776846
TLD Fix-it. John visits Sherlock in hospital after the Culverton case and the beating and makes surprising discoveries.
----------------------------------
Special Feature: The fanartist/author dragonnan @dragonnan
I mainly think of dragonnan as a fanartist because of all the brilliant pictures they create which are often accompanied by a short text. Detailed lineart, vibrant colours, carefully composed scenes and lots of whump. Not only in the Sherlock fandom but these (obviously) I love the most. Especially those that go with the (also briliant) fics of sgam76 which can be found in the
Fanart for Sgam76 compilation https://archiveofourown.org/series/2194932
Please check out their other works as well!

in honour of "hired gun" making a reappearance on my dash, do you (or any of your followers) have any more fic recs with themes like being on a mission/being badass/on the run/undercover/mercenary? the darker and grittier the better!!
hi anon! first, the fic you mentioned: hired gun by @simplyclockwork (232k, E)
After faking his suicide in response to allegations of fraud, two years into dismantling Moriarty's network finds Sherlock Holmes in Morocco. Nearing the end of his mission, he is apprehended by a man with the mercy of a doctor, the control of a soldier, and the brutality of a mercenary.
Through capture, betrayal, and unexpected danger, both Sherlock and John Watson, gun-for-hire, will have to learn who can really be trusted.
a fantastic fic and such a tense ride! i read this one as it updated and whew, what an experience. @kettykika78 did some fantastic art for that fic, with a very sexy john watson, which is perhaps what crossed your dash as well, anon!
as for your ask, ahh there are quite a few fics like that! i sat on this list for a bit just so i could put together as many fics fitting the theme as i could remember. i’m certain i’ve still missed out on quite a few, so if anyone else has suggestions, please add on!
i literally just finished a fic where john and sherlock have to go to a safe house in scotland bc moriarty has resurfaced, except it wasn’t actually “moriarty” as they knew him but for the life of me i can’t find it snfjsj. it’s not even in my ao3 history?? UGH
The Death of Doubt by Gingerhermit (6k, E)
For cccahill18, based on their prompt for johnlockchallenges Valentine's Day Exchange: Mycroft asks for John’s help in rescuing Sherlock from his Serbian captors. Requested genres: AU, fluff, angst, hurt/comfort
Sherlock couldn’t decide if it was the kindest or the cruelest trick his mind had ever played on him, to give him a blurry vision of John Watson standing there with haggard lines on his face, the beginnings of an absolutely disastrously scruffy beard, and a grubby knit cap shoved down over his ears. His mouth shaped around that name, the one he hadn’t allowed himself to utter aloud in two years, and it felt foreign as it scraped weakly past his lips.
“John?”
Two Two One Bravo Baker by abundantlyqueer (114k, E)
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?
I Will Take Care of You by SailorChibi (16k, teen)
Two years after Sherlock's death, John comes to find him on the sofa. Wounded and ill, Sherlock is convinced he's hallucinating and refuses to share any details about Moran or the fact that Mycroft has been compromised. That doesn't stop John from stepping up and taking care of the last of Moriarty's web, BAMF-style.
26 Pieces by Lanning (28k, E)
Mycroft gives Sherlock the apparently simple task of solving a puzzle box containing a stolen microchip. It isn't simple.
Impossible to Feign by achray (49k, M)
Sherlock leant forward, his long fingers curving round to grip John’s.
“I won’t let him win,” he said, eyes hard. “I will do whatever it takes to get you out.”
Extraction by holmesian_love (28k, unrated)
After Reichenbach, during his hunt to overcome Moriarty's network, Sherlock is captured and tortured, in Serbia.
While Mycroft spends a month working overtime to find his brother, with agents reporting back and an extraction team in place, John's world is turned upside down, after a surprise delivery shakes his foundations. He is forced back into the world of Sherlock Holmes, completely unprepared to face the consulting detective.
The extraction is only the beginning for these three men as they face the consequences of past actions.
Against the Rest of the World by @silentauroriamthereal (151k, E)
Sherlock has been away from London for nine hundred and twelve days and counting, and has no idea what sort of reception to expect when he finally returns. Post-Reichenbach.
Running Obliquely by @raina-at (4k, M)
Sherlock just wanted John to know that he isn't dead.
It doesn't go as he expected.
That's mostly a good thing.
The Other One by PurpleHydrangeas (80k, G)
Sherlock Holmes isn't anybody's fool. In fact, she's regularly six steps ahead of Mycroft. That is, until his meddling knocks her through a loop, and before she knows it, she's adding a wing to her Mind Palace to house a not-so-aged Army Doctor. John Watson doesn't know what to make of this mad genius with blue eyes, but he knows working for Mycroft Holmes is, within the span of 24 hours, the biggest mistake of his life.
Wars We Fought, Things We’re Not by @blueink3 (55k, M)
“Oh come, John. Could be fun,” Mycroft taunts, accompanied by an eyebrow arch he’s gotten far too good at. “Besides, it’s not as if it’s your first time pretending to be a couple.”
Five months after John's world has fallen apart, Mycroft sends the consulting detective and his doctor on a case that neither is prepared for.
Turned series by @therealsaintscully (107k, 2 works, incomplete)
‘Turncoat: a person who deserts one party or cause in order to join an opposing one.’
⇆
Moriarty’s message never gets broadcast, the plane taking Sherlock away doesn't come back.
As rumours begin to swirl about a British POW found alive in Gaza ten months later, Mycroft shows up at John’s surgery with some good news: Sherlock is alive, and he's coming back.
⇆
Inspired by ‘Homeland’ and ‘Prisoners of War’, ‘Turned‘ re-examines everything we thought we knew about Sherlock since the day of his fall and his time away during his great hiatus.

Hey Steph! Happy holidays if you celebrate or happy whatever if you don't care! My request is pretty easy I guess but I'm terribile at using the ao3 filter (its totally me, I'm "new" to fandom fanfics and stuff). I'm looking for a fic where Sherlock or John or both have covid! Thanks xoxo

My #1 post of 2022
not a moment to waste
This is for @khorazir, who prompted “pencil.” Happy Valentine’s Day!
_____
Sherlock is standing by the window. His violin is tucked under his chin. There is a pencil clenched between his teeth. His face is painted with dying sunlight. His eyes are closed.
John pauses in the entryway, watches as Sherlock's fingers dance along the strings, as his bow draws out honey-sweet notes that seem to quiver in the air.
Sherlock pauses, sets the bow down. Takes the pencil out of his mouth. Scribbles something on a sheet of paper. Lifts the bow again.
He is composing.
The corner of John's mouth pulls into a smile. It has been years since he's seen Sherlock compose. Not since—
"You're early," Sherlock says. His voice is flat. He does not turn away from the window.
"Sorry," John says reflexively. "The appointment with the caterers was, um, cancelled. I thought I'd just—but if you're busy, I could—"
"It's fine."
John nods, looks down at the ground. "Right. Okay."
Sherlock makes another note on the paper.
"That was nice," John says, finally. "What you were just—erm—"
"Just trying out a few things for the wedding."
"Right," John says again. He nods. Swallows hard against the lump in his throat, the sinking sensation in his chest. "The wedding."
"Lots to do," Sherlock says. He draws the bow across the strings, a single, sharp screech. Sets the instrument down.
"Not that much," John says. He presses his lips together. Waits.
Sherlock says nothing. He picks up the pencil again, makes another notation on the paper. The pencil tip snaps. He swears, tosses it aside. His hands, John realises, are trembling.
"Sherlock," John says.
"Not a moment to waste, really," Sherlock says. He opens the desk drawer, rummages around inside.
"If you could just—"
"For God's sake—" Sherlock wrenches the desk drawer out entirely, pens and paper clips and bits of crumpled paper and what look suspiciously like dried earwigs scattering across the carpet.
"Sherlock!" John says, well and truly alarmed now. He crosses the room, puts his hand on Sherlock's arm.
Sherlock jerks away as if burned.
"Sher—" John starts, and then stops. Sherlock's eyes are wild, red-rimmed and pained. He is breathing in short, stuttering little gasps that he seems to be struggling, mightily, to stifle.
"You're early," Sherlock says, and his voice is wrong, all wrong. "I meant to be done with this by the time you—it's—"
"Don't worry about the wedding," John blurts. "It's—there's not going to be any wedding. All right?"
Sherlock goes very still.
"Mary and I are—we talked about it—and we're just not—it's not—" John blows a frustrated breath out through his teeth. "I don't want to. Get married."

Simplyclockwork Fic Recs
Angst/Hurt & Comfort/Sick Fics
This will be added to as I read more fics.
The Vapor Variant - @88thparallel (CanadaHolm)
Mature. 72,684 words. 18 chapters.
They stood face to face in the middle of a clearing. The dim light of the moon barely allowed Sherlock to see the glassy terror in John’s eyes and the sweat that glistened off his forehead. His nose was bleeding again, blood dripping in a slow stream from his right nostril.
They were both gasping for air, John’s eyes locked on Sherlock’s. There was no recognition there, just wild animal fear.
Time stood still for an eternal few seconds, and Sherlock took a shaky breath. “John—”
Spell broken, John spun and bolted back into the woods.
Still heaving for air, Sherlock took off after him.
kiss me on the mouth & set me free (but please don’t bite) - crysanthemumsies
Explicit. 18,743 words. 6 chapters.
Five times John got drunk and slept with Sherlock, and the one time Sherlock got drunk and couldn't do the same.
Control, Alt, Delete - MirithGriffin
Explicit. 75,196 words. 28 chapters.
If you could delete everything except what was really important, would you? Sherlock and John explore the question and each other.
Lacuna - coloredink
Explicit. 15,607 words. One-shot.
God, it must have been terrible, to think that he would never have this again.
Second Waltz - Atiki
Teen and up. 6,685 words. One-shot.
"The night I died, you wished I could wait for you."
The Haunting of 221B Baker Street - @earlgreytea68
Mature. 10,388 words. 2 chapters.
In which Sherlock Holmes is a ghost.
Warm Me Up - halloa_what_is_this
General audiences. 5,357 words. One-shot.
For days, it’s like living with a sick toddler craving for attention and entertainment. Sherlock stays close to John the whole time, climbs on top of him or next to him every time he sits or lies down and sleeps with his head buried in his stomach every night.
This Time No (Forgiveness) - AtlinMerrick
Explict. 29,464 words. 11 chapters.
It was Sherlock's fault. It usually is. And though he'll ask forgiveness for what he's done, for the very first time John will say, 'This time no, Sherlock. This time, never.' And maybe, just maybe, John Watson is going to mean it.
Electric Pink Hand Grenade - BeautifulFiction (@the-pen-pot)
Explicit. 67,718 words. 13 chapters.
"If Sherlock's brain is a hard drive, then these attacks are an electro-magnetic pulse." Sherlock Holmes does not do anything by half, not even a migraine. It falls to John to witness one of the greatest minds he has ever known tear itself apart, and he must do his best to help Sherlock pick up the pieces.
Already Gone - @annecumberbatch
Explicit. 3,649 words. 7 chapters.
“Sherlock…” John smoothed Sherlock’s shirt out over his chest. “I’m not a good man. I’m not.”
“I don’t think you give yourself enough credit, John.” Sherlock shifted his hands to hold onto John’s shoulders.
“I think you give me too much.”
“John…” Sherlock ducked his head towards John and stopped, hovering above John’s lips. “Please. Kiss me again.”
Emails from the War Zone - trajektoria
Mature. 1,872 words. One-shot.
John returns to Afghanistan for a month to be an army doctor once again and Sherlock is left alone in the flat. The only contact the men have with each other is via emails. Sometimes it's easier to write something than to tell it face-to-face...
carrying up his morning tea - darcylindbergh
Explicit. 34,504 words. 5 chapters.
His fingers tremble as he dials and he can’t force them steady. Familiar number, even though he hasn’t used it in two years. He isn’t even sure he should be calling it now, but she’d asked. She’d made him promise.
You Have Drawn Red From My Hands - @jbaillier
Teen and up. 67,085 words. 17 chapters.
John getting injured leads Sherlock on a path of guilt and revelations.
Alone on the Water - Mad_Lori
General Audiences. 7,725 words. One-shot.
Sherlock Holmes never expected to live a long life, but he never imagined that it would end like this.
Simplyclockwork note: This fic has Major Character Death in it.
The Wisteria Tree - SilentAuror (@silentauroriamthereal)
Explicit. 29,773 words. One-shot.
Sherlock wakes up from a month-long coma only to discover that he has no memory of the previous six years to his own shock as well as John's...
Without Words - allonsys_girl
Explicit. 12,492 words. One-shot.
John and Sherlock have been together for six months and Sherlock still hasn't said "I love you". Then John gets hurt, and Sherlock expresses how much John really means to him.
When a Man is Wrong - plantsareneat
Mature. 70,000+ words. Incomplete.
After the events of The Lying Detective, John and Sherlock attempt to rebuild their friendship, and John struggles with life as a single father. He discovers he is not fully in control of his anger and behavior, and spirals into depression. Follows John through this dark period, and through the healing process he needs to make both for himself and for Sherlock, who has stood by him throughout.
Author Note: *Trigger Warning: pretty graphic depiction of deep depression and suicidal thoughts, including a (non-successful) attempt. Later part of the story follows a hospitalization and healing process coupled with developing/realized romance. Please take care of yourself, dear reader; if this subject is triggering for you, choose another story!
Simplyclockwork note: incomplete but still actively being worked on I believe, very worth the read even unfinished.
Open Your Eyes - @annecumberbatch
Mature. 4,385 words. 6 chapters.
Sometimes you don't know what you could have had until you lose it.
Winner of the Fall 2019 #keepjohnlockalivecompetition by sherlockswolmes on Tumblr
The Heart in the Whole - verityburns (@verity-burns)
Explicit. 101,650 words. 21 chapters.
Events after 'The Great Game' leave Sherlock dependent on his best friend and colleague. But John has a secret of his own...
The Emergency Contact Series - blueink3
Mature. 11,763 words. 2 works.
The first time John Watson’s emergency contact is called is the first time Sherlock Holmes finds out that he has the job.
Rebuilding Rome - SilentAuror (@silentauroriamthereal)
Explicit. 94,000 words. 15 chapters.
When a case unexpectedly forces John to acknowledge some difficult truths about himself and his life, he spirals downward, leaving Sherlock to do his best to rescue him from his own darkness and somehow try to build something new on broken foundations.
Radioactive Trees in a Red Forest - Maribor_Petrichor
Explicit. 280,226 words. 73 chapters.
John Watson is what happens when a man can no longer see a reason to go on.
John Watson is what happens when a man starts to let go.
"It is what it is."
John Watson is what happens when what "it is" becomes too much to bear.
This is a story of the life, death, and resurrection of John Hamish Watson.
Sink Like a Stone - pennydreadful
Teen and Up. 4,348 words. One-shot.
After defeating Moriarty at the pool, life isn't quite the same around 221B Baker Street...it's more peaceful. And stranger.
Dissolution: Our Plague Days - PoppyAlexander (@fuckyeahfightlock)
Teen and up. 6,663 words. One-shot.
The bees have been dying for years. A mysterious pandemic has the people of Great Britain quarantined and terrified. Sherlock's solved it; now John must save them.
Evidence of Human Life - thesardine
Explicit. 16,906 words. One-shot.
Sherlock's sanity deteriorates while he and John are stranded on a deserted island.
If you’re one of the authors listed here and have a Tumblr, and would like me to link it (if I haven’t already), please let me know!
