Bookmarker's Notes
A small sound filters through the hazy edges of my consciousness. Thoughts begin to stir, registering information faster than I can consciously separate and connect properly: heavy object/firm impact/repeated sound, jingling/metallic/multiple objects, friction of rough fabric repeated at regular intervals/slightly longer every other repetition. The information coalesces: footsteps/keys clanking/rustle of standard-issue army trousers worn by someone with heavy thighs and a slight limp because he was once shot in the knee cap: my gaoler. I am awake, pull my eyelids apart. The keys are at the lock; he always chooses at least one wrong key before managing to fit the correct one into the lock. Idiot.
They’re all idiots; nonetheless they did apprehend and imprison me, but only because I had a fleeting moment of idiocy myself. Otherwise how could I have ended up in a makeshift prison cell in Antalya? At least it’s on the water. I keep telling myself this, babbling information I already know as though I have become soft in the brain. As though I am in any position to comfort myself in this situation! Perhaps I am developing schizophrenia. That would be interesting at least. What is decidedly not interesting is being trapped in a cinder block bunker in a slum of a city in Turkey with which I have not the slightest passing familiarity, chained to its bricks and so bored I cannot keep track of the days.

Summary
When Sherlock dies, John Watson feels like his life is over too. He’s completely shut down, until Mark Morstan, a new nurse at John’s medical clinic, catches his attention, and helps him uncover the long buried truth of his attraction to men.
Although he’s certain he’ll never get over Sherlock, John plans to move on, and build a new life with Mark, unaware that Sherlock is not quite as dead as he appears, and that Mark is hiding secrets of his own.
Based on this Tumblr post by @i-love-the-beekeeper (formerly @welovethebeekeeper).

Summary
Now complete!
The first time it happened was completely by accident.
Post-Reichenbach, John finds a way to hold on to Sherlock after all.
Prepare yourself for 1.) angst 2.) plot 3.) smut 4.) more smut 5.) even more smut 6.) more plot 7.) happy ending. But, in apparently WAY too many chapters. If you're worried about the graphic violence / torture, be aware it's limited to Chapter 30. Probably canon-typical, but I'd rather over-warn than under-warn.
Here's an excerpt, just to give you hope through the angsty first few chapters:
"I am going to seduce you, Sherlock Holmes," he rumbled into Sherlock's ear, smiling as Sherlock's breath grew unsteady again. "Not because you need it, but because you deserve it. We both do." He gave Sherlock a squeeze. "Trust me?"
Sherlock's head lifted, those uncanny pale eyes looking at John with complete sincerity. "I've always trusted you, John."
John felt the last bit of tension leaving his shoulders. "Good." He kissed Sherlock one more time, swift and soft — a promise. "That's good."

Lucid, by dr_girlfriend
***He tried to tell himself that it was a one-off. That he wouldn’t do it again if he could. That lie lasted all of three hours, until he found himself researching lucid dreaming. First wikipedia, then scholarly articles, then message boards, his mind filing away a mental catalogue of triggers. Meditation, sleep interruption, daytime napping...
He tried them all over the next two weeks, embarrassment flushing his face even alone in his bedsit as he stared at his own palm, solemnly instructing himself to become self-aware in his dreams.
Nothing worked, and so on Friday a fortnight later John found himself sitting in his dark office at the surgery, long after the others had gone home, just thinking. He thought about his father — the violent drunken rages that had terrorized his childhood. He thought about Harry, alone in her sad apartment without Clara, drinking wine at two in the afternoon. He thought about it all, long and hard, and then he stopped on the way home and bought a six-pack of beer and a bottle of whiskey.
