Summary
In the aftermath of the Culverton Smith case, John spent one painfully stilted afternoon hanging out with Sherlock. He counted the minutes, finished his tea, and left for home without ever clearing the air between them.
And once he'd left, he found it very hard to go back.

Summary
And Sherlock stands there, in the middle of a Christmas market as John hums along to Silent Night, John’s hand warm in his with fingertips a little gritty from the cinnamon-sugar doused churros they’d shared, and thinks, oh, that’s–that’s an idea, isn’t it?
*
For Christmas this year, Sherlock wants to get John something special: something every fairytale deserves.

Summary
"Surprised" is too small a word for the blindsided gut-check John experienced not fifteen minutes prior, engaging in the once-harmless pleasure of peeking through the gossips rack at Tesco. No, what John felt when he read that ridiculous headline was nothing short of complete and utter shock. And perhaps, the strangest bit of relief.
Because in black-and-white block letters, the front pages proclaimed, BRAINS AND BRAWN--LONDON’S NEWEST CELEBRITY COUPLE.
And underneath, obviously taken through the window at 221B, was a photo of Sherlock and John.
Kissing. Sort of.
__
The jig is up and the news is out, Sherlock and John are a couple. No one is surprised--and that's the problem.
Started as a songfic now we heeeere. Inspired by the song "Good Kisser" by Lake Street Drive

John Watson is persuaded to move back into Baker Street with Rosie (after the events of season 4). The friendship -though delicate - is mending slowly after everything they've been through. That is, until strange events start happening to John which begin to disrupt the happy life they have been creating.
Is there a medical explanation, or is something more sinister at play?
Will they discover the cause before it tears them apart for good?Bookmarked by raylien

Summary
"You never asked me to make him love you back. That's always one of the first things that someone asks me, you know. 'Make him fall in love.' 'Make her love me.' 'Make him return my feelings.' 'Make him want me.' Blah, blah, blah, on and on and on. But you didn't do that. Neither did he."
This is a story of seven wishes.
One wasted wish, five wishes that changed the world, and one wish that changed nothing at all.

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.

Summary
COMPLETE!
The Louvre Museum in Paris is planning to host the celebrated Winter Fabergé Egg for its winter exhibition - quite the feat as it has not been on public display since 2002. However there is a snag: whispers of a world-renowned master-thief with his eyes set on the valuable prize. The curator has asked the famous Sherlock Holmes to consult on security, but the detective needs a lot of convincing: he is after all a bit busy with trying to woo a certain clueless ex-army doctor…At the same time, John is attempting to balance work, missing Rosie who is off on her gap year, a volunteer gig at a local London orphanage, and seething jealousy upon the arrival of an apparent old friend of Sherlock’s. Attempting to foil the heist of the century while remaining friendly and objective might just be a step too far...
A Christmas crime caper packed full of misdirection, miscommunication and mistletoe, set against the romantic backdrop of London and Paris in the winter. Thrown into all this, will our two idiots finally manage to see what has been right in front of them all along?
Chapters 1-3 are the complete fic, chapters 4-6 are the accompanying ARTWORK from the amazing alifetimeaheadtoprovethat!

The doctor sat down next to Mummy, pushed her glasses back up the bridge of her nose and said, “Tell me about young Sherlock's bedtime routine.”
Mummy blinked several times and tilted her head a fraction to the left, then said, “His what?”
Sherlock squealed under his fortress of tissue paper and hurled a stethoscope at them.
