    Summary

    After Sherlocks return from the dead, nothing is the same in 221B Baker Street. While Sherlock no longer denies his feelings for his best friend, John closes himself off and keeps his distance.

    One night after a devastating nightmare, John finally breaks and lets Sherlock in. Feelings are shared (that's never easy), promises are made (keeping them is a challenge), and cuddles are exchanged (they make everything better).
    ***
    Now with a second chapter! (John is an anxious mess. Sherlock makes it better)

    Summary

    He’s always been just John Watson.
    You can glean very few things from that name in all its simplicity—for one—it’s one of the most common names for a boy. Taken in isolation, it’s not something that anyone would remember.
    Hell, he doubts he would!
    Sherlock Holmes however, it’s a name that catches anyone off guard—anyone who hasn’t moulded the grooves of its syllables onto their tongue, like John had the moment he had heard it.

    Their names reflect the people who wear them in that sense.
    They seemed to have known the one who’d be remembered and the one who’d be forgotten.

    Summary

    The aftermath of a rather ordinary case becomes increasingly extraordinary.

    And John isn't sure which fork to use.

     

    "Mr. Fell,” said Sherlock, in a tone suggesting doubt that that was the man’s real name. “Noticing things is my métier. Such as small hand gestures. When one has eliminated the impossible – such as a succession of extraordinary and highly favourable coincidences in the space of a single evening – whatever remains, however improbable, must be the explanation.”

      The two fandoms that rule my heart, mingling in the same universe!

      An utterly charming - dare I say, magical - story. Every detail of the four principal characters is perfectly realized, their unique and shared qualities fondly observed. Written in seemingly effortless prose, a style that is the most agreeable to a reader, and perhaps the most difficult for a writer to master. This accomplishment will be not be the least bit surprising to readers in either fandom.

      A sparkling, delightul, irresistible gem.

    Summary

    The touch was feather-light and only lasted a second; but this second was enough for John to realize three fundamental things at the exact same time: 1) Sherlock tasted like a delicious combination of overly sweet coffee and minty toothpaste, a combination that really shouldn’t be tasty, but oddly enough it was; 2) Sherlock Holmes, his best friend, had just kissed him; 3) John wanted him to do it again.

    Sherlock suprises John in the best kind of ways. John realizes he had been an idiot all along. Rosie just wants to built her Lego castle.

    Summary

    Sherlock's investigating a case for Mycroft that requires him to get some files in a building that's suspected to house Omegas illegally for exploitation. Not that Sherlock cares, really, even if he is an Alpha. It's all just transport, after all.
    One scent captures his attention, however, and sends him into Rut. The owner of that scent helps him through it but afterwards, he wakes up with almost no memory of what happened, except the persistent feeling that he has an Omega somewhere. More than that, an Omega that he needs.
    Finding his Omega proves to be anything but easy and involves delving into a less than pleasant side of the industry surrounding secondary genders. Once he does find him...

    Summary

    Sherlock Holmes knew he was not a good man. He was needy, he was insensitive, he never though about anybody except himself.
    Until him.
    A man so perfect, so amazing... John Watson was a true saint. Sherlock had given him every reason to leave, and yet he stayed.
    Sherlock Holmes would be lost without his blogger.
    In the end, that would always be his excuse for not telling John.
    He couldn't lose him.
    Not again.

    Summary

    The night after their first time, John can hardly believe that it happened. How could someone like Sherlock want an old, closeted, scarred up soldier like him?

    Basically, John is insecure and Sherlock is just a really good boyfriend. And John thinks Sherlock is pretty.

    Summary

    “I’ve been neglecting you the past days, I apologize. It wasn’t my intention”.
    John shook his head lightly, suddenly too emotional to talk without his voice hitching. It was frankly embarrassing how sentimental this dumpster of a day had left him, but John felt like he was only a single straw away from breaking;
    either having a cathartic cry or take Sherlock and escape out of the country.

    John has a bad day and needs everybody's favourite detective to make the world alright again. Unfortunately, said detective happenes to be on a case (what a great SURPRISE).

    Fluff and PDA ensues.

    Summary

    After the conclusion of a horrible abuse case, John reflects on his relationship with Sherlock and comes to some frightening results.

     

    John stared at his hands. They were shaking. In fact, his whole body was shaking as the realisation hit him: He was abusing his power over Sherlock. Manipulating him to do things, he didn't want to do, with the excuse that his boyfriend needed someone to look after him.

     

    "Oh fuck!"

    Summary

    Sherlock returns after the Fall expecting everything to go back to the way it was. Of course, things are never that simple.

    Sherlock believes he knows everything there is to know about John, and he certainly doesn't think there's anything that John could *teach* him. But as Sherlock and John work to rebuild the life they had together, the world's only Consulting Detective realises that he's very wrong, on both counts.

    EDIT: In celebration of 1000 hits I've reworked the story according to feedback from Finnmark regarding epithets. That's the only difference, except for a couple of minor word changes. No plot changes etc.

    Summary

    AU. After falling out with his sister, John ends up in a Cornwall Midsummer’s Eve celebration in the middle of a forest that’s rather…different. After the hazy night of magic and passion with a pale-eyed man, he goes home to London.
    He’s in for a surprise when his stomach starts growing and buds appears on his head. Not one to just accept things, he returns to Cornwall to demand an explanation.
    When he meets the forest king, Sherlock, again, he has to come to terms with not only what’s happened to him but what kind of magical world he’s been thrust into. Plus, there’s the questions of whether he trusts the antlered man and how he'll survive being apparently pregnant.
    Sherlock isn’t much help. That doesn’t mean he isn’t trying to somehow make John understand his feelings, however, even if he’s greatly hampered by being Sherlock.
    They slowly move forward but problems beyond their control may arise from an act done with the best of intentions. How will they cope, separately and together?
