The Heat Death of the Universe by liriodendron
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms
26 Jul 2017
Tags
Summary
In which Sherlock Holmes discovers what it's like to wait, John Watson is pretty good at denial, and every shadow has a light source.
The conclusion to Conductivity.
" 'You see it now, don’t you?' Mycroft continues, sounding almost compassionate. 'You must let John move on, accept that no matter how willing you are to be there for him, he may not be able to be there for you. That’s implicit in whatever foolish promises you’ve made to him. And likely the only way you’ll be able to hang on to any part of him at all.'
Sherlock lets out a long string of invective, but his heart isn’t in it. The truth of this is undeniable."

A Soldier and a Doctor but not an Army Doctor by Kizzia
Fandom Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms
06 Dec 2014
Summary
All these fics feature a John Watson who has a different backstory to the one that is generally accepted as the real one within the Sherlock fandom. In all of these John Watson has never been an "Army Doctor" (a descriptor he has never actually uttered himself, just one he's never disagreed with when used by other people).
Instead these fics feature a John who has had two careers; the first as a medical student and then a GP for a few years; the second after he enlisted in the British Armed Forces, either as an officer in an Infantry Regiment of the Army or as an officer in the Royal Marine Commandos.
I have linked them together under a series header because I wanted to quickly be able to find all the stories I've written that rely to some extent on John having been an infantry soldier, rather than in the RAMC.
I also hope it will help those of you who like their BAMF!John with those credentials find them as well.

Summary
"He sits patiently on a chair in the research lab of St. Bart’s, absently leafing through a book on chemical science. "
Mycroft meets with Sherlock after the fall, as planned. Short missing scene, or at least a take on a scene I hope we'll see next season. It's just a bit of the Holmes brother being Holmeses and Mycroft being part of the plot. I believe in Mycroft Holmes as much as I believe in Sherlock Holmes.

Summary
He can’t keep looking at it, waiting for a hand that isn't there anymore. He can't ride the escalators where they used to bicker. He can’t sit on the trains where they’d whisper about murder over bags of shopping and lukewarm Costa coffee. He can’t walk the platforms where Sherlock used to stride ahead and glance back only to make sure John was still behind him.
He can’t do it.
Sherlock is dead, and yet somehow John is still behind him. Waiting for him to glance back.

The Defense of Sherlock Holmes by lancesface
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms
14 Nov 2013
Tags
Summary
Anderson and Donovan are being really crass. John has had enough after he sees Sherlock reacting to what they're saying even if he's the only one who can see it. He gets his BAMF on. Punches are thrown and feelings are shared. Sort of.

Summary
After Sherlock overdoses on some strange mixture for a case, his Mind Palace leads him to situations he wasn’t ever prepared to deal with. His subconscious reveals he has more sentiment than he thinks: sentiment particularly with his infatuation over John. Not only that, but he’s stuck in the flat for four weeks of post-near-death recovery, and both he and John are figuring out how to do that.
Moreover, Sherlock has trouble accepting a part of him craves something so pedestrian.

Missing Pages by PlaidAdder
Fandom Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms, Sherlock Holmes (1984 TV), Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle
21 Sep 2024
Summary
This is a group of interlinked short stories (most between 2000 and 7000 words) which tell the story of how Holmes and Watson really came to be separated at the Reichenbach Falls, and how they found each other again. Each story is in the form of a document--a letter, a journal, a surveillance report, an affidavit, etc.--which is linked to one or more ACD canon tales, and which tells us something about that story that was changed or suppressed in Watson's published account of it. Holmes/Watson, with glimpses of other relationships. Only one story ("The Boy in the Boat," which is f/f) is rated M. Everything else is T.
ACD canon stories that inspired "Missing Pages" include: The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Sign of Four, "The Final Problem," "The Empty House," "The Naval Treaty," "A Case of Identity," "The Greek Interpreter," "The Gloria Scott," "The Noble Bachelor," "The Copper Beeches," "The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax," "The Devil's Foot," "The Illustrious Client," and "A Case of Identity."
Many stories work as stand-alones. If you want the whole arc, just read them in the order in which they are posted. Either way you slice it, I hope you enjoy!

Summary
Sherlock is home, he and John are returning to cases, and all's right with the world--right? But a series of minor mishaps and injuries makes two things very clear to his friends and family: first, Sherlock's time away wasn't the grand adventure everyone has assumed it was; and second, that time has left Sherlock with a legacy that's bleeding into his life today. Sherlock is Not Okay, and it's not going away.
EDIT: I have now made this part of a series, since I am going to be doing occasional one-offs in this same universe.
WORKS INSPIRED BY THIS ONE: The lovely Aunt_Didi has begun a podfic of this work--it can be found on both of our dashboards.
