Summary
John finds it three months after he's moved back.
He's on the hunt for something to make for dinner, is scrounging through the cupboards, when he happens upon the graveyard of pasta boxes Sherlock still seems to create when left to his own devices. Behind seven boxes of pasta, all almost completely empty, is a dark-glassed bottle, with a paler coat of dust.
It's unopened.
John's face falls slack when he sees it, instantly recognises it, and for a long moment he just stands and looks at it.

“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.

Summary
Sherlock Holmes was a man accustomed to anomalies. After all, noticing and cataloguing anomalies provided him with a large portion of the data he used in solving cases. People lived their whole lives stuck in routines, always doing the same boring things at the same boring times, with the same boring reactions. He often thought it must be witheringly dull, and he prided himself on refusing to fall into a routine. As a result, he was rather slow to notice the pattern created by the anomalies in his own behaviour.

Summary
Red wine always makes him tipsier than usual and he finds himself saying, the words slurring a bit. “You know, I’ve got to ask. Do you always shoot cabbies for people you barely you know?”
John meets his gaze over the rim of his glass, and there’s something there that Sherlock can’t pin down. “Not for everyone,” he says, meaningfully, pointedly, his smile all teeth.Sherlock feels faint. He’s flirting. Is he? Sherlock has to backpedal, get out of the hole he’s dug himself into.
“You should come home with me tonight,” Oh god no, that’s the exact opposite of what he should be doing.
John’s eyes widen and he blinks at him. “Er-“
“I mean, 221B’s closer, it’s late,” he scrambles for words. “And you’ll be staying there anyway. I mean- well, I’m assuming. Ms Hudson’s already put up the bed-“ Christ, he’s not being clever and sexy at all, he’s blabbering like an idiot-

The Case of the Lonely Doctor by Thorntonsheart for Enterthetadpole

Summary
“Perhaps I could help somehow?” Sherlock offers hesitantly, needing to be able to do something, to solve something.
“Find me a suitable girlfriend?” John jokes bitterly.
“I could do that. I’m sure I could design an algorithm that uses data to find you the perfect date.” Sherlock reaches for his notebook and pen, already scribbling down ideas, unaware of John staring incredulously at him. At the sound of John’s mug thunking on the wooden table top Sherlock looks up, raising an eyebrow in query.
“W..what?” John crosses his arms and bites at the inside of his bottom lip, studying Sherlock intently before arriving at a decision. “Oh, what the hell. Go on then."

Summary
Green.
The word green was used to convey a great many things. Illness. Envy. Inexperience.
Standing there amidst Janine's chattering bridesmaids, watching Sherlock furrow his brow and study fabric swatches, watching him smile and simper and flirt, John thought it a remarkably apt colour choice. Because he felt quite sick to his stomach, he feared the source of said sickness might very well be jealousy, and he had absolutely no idea at all what to do about it.
Or: Sherlock needs to fake a relationship for a case. He doesn't ask John.

Eight Inches that Changed Everything by XistentialAngst for JBootsyBarnes
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV)
01 Dec 2012
Tags
Summary
This was written for the Johnlock Gift Exchange put on by johnlockchallenges on tumblr. It's a gift for splendidsparklingfire and the prompt was "breathless in an alleyway". I combined this with an idea I've had in my 'to do' list for while.
In this story, Lestrade tells John about something he'd once discovered in Sherlock's flat during a drug bust. That little bit of knowledge rocks John's world.
I hope you enjoy this, splendidsparklingfire!
