After a long hiatus, I'm back and building on some long dormant works. In the newest chapter of this angsty little slow burn, John and Sherlock finally get their 'meet cute', and John, for one, doesn't isn't finding it so cute.  

Chapters 3: Clarity  Fandom: Sherlock Rating: Mature Relationships: Sherlock Holmes & John Watson, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson Additional Tags: Blind Character, Blind John, Mental Health Issues, Healing, Physical Disability, Podcast, Adaptation, Disabled Character

Summary:

Rather than a psychosomatic limp, John returns from the war with a different manifestation of his trauma, Functional Neurologic Symptom Disorder (or what was once commonly known as "Hysterical Blindness"). As if struggling to acclimate to life with unpredictably limited vision isn't challenging enough, an unpridictable genius who sees everything turns his world upside down.

I have a Johnlock fic for you... Aim for the Head

Sometimes you don't really find yourself until everything has ended.

A fic about finding love, healing, and purpose after everything has gone to hell.

__________________

As if the doctor can read Sherlock's thoughts, he holds out a protein bar in the space between them. Sherlock’s eyes narrow on the man and flick to the bar with an expression of disgust.

“You're at least one stone underweight,” the soldier states matter-of-factly, confirming for Sherlock, in yet another way, that he is a doctor.

“Eating slows me down,” Sherlock grumbles.

“No, fainting does.” The army doctor smiles kindly, patiently. Sherlock looks at him with confusion.

“What do you care?” Sherlock snaps. The soldier’s smile deepens and he gives a casual shrug, turning his eyes to the road a moment.

“You faint; we crash.” The soldier’s eyes slide back to Sherlock with their placid expression.

Is there no interest in (my) Johnlock fanfic anymore?🥺 I typically get a few dozen notes when I post about my writing. This time - nothing. 😞

Trying a reblog.

I also posted a new chapter this week on How They Move in Silence

Mature

Words: 7,552

Sherlock loses his voice and has to find other ways to communicate (like texts and BSL) which leads to love confessions.

Feeling the need for some angst and tender healing? This fic can take you on that journey. A fix-it fic inspired by the S4 trailer (prior to the S4 release) that takes Sherlock on a redemption journey away from unhealthy relationships, guilt, and abuse to love, redemption, and restoration. [heed the tags]

Chapters: 6/6

Fandom: Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms Rating: Mature Summary:

After all their wars have been fought and the criminal masterminds defeated John and Sherlock are only left with their own demons and ghosts to defeat. Can they at last find their peace, and each other, without the war?

Since Sherlock demonstrated a superior ability to discipline his physical self; choosing to eat or sleep only when it did not conflict with intellectual pursuits, John had every reason to conclude that Sherlock did the same with his emotional self; not feeling anything more nor less for John than he wanted to feel and only at such times as it was convenient to do so. Sherlock might love John, but it appeared he would never be in love with John. It was not consuming. Sherlock was not at its mercy. John believed that Sherlock only loved him as a matter of practicality and that when it became impractical to love John, then Sherlock could simply turn it off; box it away or maybe delete it like a corrupted file.
However, in that moment when he pulled the trigger and Sherlock’s facade shattered before his eyes, John saw the truth.

A collaborative fic.

﴾͡๏̯͡๏﴿ Fic Rec: Resurrected (ಥ_ಥ)

Underappreciated fic - recommended if you are looking to have all the angsty feels with a happy ending: 

Every good man knows there is a proper time and a place to die. John had tried his danmdest to make Sherlock a good man.

Then again, sometimes all it takes is something to live for.

He had been resurrected twice now, and that is twice more than any one man deserves. He knows he can't come back a third time.
He came back from the fall because of John. He came back from being shot and dying on the operating table because of John. Yet all he does with each resurrection is destroy John a little more.

Completed Johnlock Fics (So far)

Summary:

A typical case out of town (post-Mary) leads to reflection, secrets shared and misunderstandings. Thinking he is going to lose John for good, Sherlock decides to try to take as much as he can before his companion is gone forever... But he always misses something and John never fails to surprise him. 

 Lots of feels, some smut and a happy ending - in more ways than one (ಠ‿↼) 

_________________

Summary:

What began with a drugged and vulnerable Sherlock confessing some things about his sexual history and feelings towards John (after Irene Adler injected him and escaped), becomes a sweet, humorous and awkward journey of Sherlock overcoming his past to flirt with the idea of something more with his companion. Misinterpretations and misunderstandings plague the two, as the good-natured, compassionate and sometimes BAMF ex-army doctor, is seduced by-proxy by the mad-genius detective trying to work through what he wants and if he is capable of providing it.

_________________

Summary:

Ex-soldier John Watson knew from the very first moment he met the tall, dark haired stranger that this could be dangerous. He soon finds himself drawn into the enigmatic man's gravitational pull as the threat and mystery keeps increasing.

 A story in which both John and Sherlock are true BAMFs, and everything that happened in BBC S1Ep1 still happens it is just reinterpreted in this new BAMF context.

_________________

No More (29K, M)

Summary:

After all their wars have been fought and the criminal masterminds defeated John and Sherlock are only left with their own demons and ghosts to defeat. Can they at last find their peace, and each other, without the war?

_________________

Summary:

An AU ficlet: Rugby Captain John Watson and science-minded photographer Sherlock are classmates at uni. Sherlock has a class project where he needs a nude model. He asks the only boy that intrigues him, John Watson, to be his model. The more time they spend together the more they realize there is a perfect attraction between them.

Slow, sexy, sweet burn to eventual smut.

_________________

Hiraeth (2K, G)

Summary:

Hiraeth: a combination of homesickness, longing, nostalgia, and yearning, for a home that you cannot return to, no longer exists, or maybe never was.

John faces the reasons he hasn't come home to 221B post S3 and finds the courage to make the leap.

_________________

Summary:

One day John finds a photo of a young man in a medical encyclopedia. Carrying that photo carries him through war until he at last meets the man that carried him through hell and back.

_________________

Summary:

“Have you ever kissed a man, John?” Sherlock’s voice is even and slightly disinterested.

John’s eyes widen. “Sorry, what?”

“You heard me perfectly well. A simple yes or no will suffice,” Sherlock’s voice is a sigh of impatience.

_________________

Lost (2K, T+)

Summary:

A chase through the woods at night triggers some dark memories for John. Sherlock helps him find his way back.

_________________

Take Care of Me (2K, T+)

Summary:

Just a bit of fluff I dug out of my old writings and dusted off, because who can't use a little Johnlock fluff right now?

_________________

Summary:

Down in the well, with the water rising, John faces the truth which he had been hiding from for so long. When Sherlock finally comes down to hold him up until the police can arrive, he has the chance to say all the things he never could say

Inspired by fan art created by @sturfadurf 

_________________

Say It (1K, T+)

Summary:

Their moment comes... Finally.<br />

Confessions are made and everything changes.<br />

_________________

Summary:

Sherlock finds a new name for John that embodies how he truly feels for the man. It takes John a bit to catch on, but then Sherlock finally puts his feelings on the table.

_________________

Summary:

Something is wrong with John Watson.

As hard as Sherlock tries to focus on his experiments, the cases and his immense relief that his world has returned to some semblance of ‘right’ the thought keeps bubbling to the surface like a nagging suspicion that he is missing something important.

John Watson is acting all wrong.

_________________

Summary:

“It’s a simple construct, John. There is nothing I value more than data. Facts, John.” Sherlock flourishes a long, thin hand, then steeples his fingers together over his lap. He scans John with steel blue eyes. “In place of some appalling or imbecilic gift inflicted upon me in the name of tradition on Christmas day, I propose that you provide me with one previously unknown fact about you for each day leading up to Christmas.12 in total, John.”

_________________

Summary:

“Sherlock Holmes!” Mrs. Hudson rounds on Sherlock. Her fists are on her hips again. John thinks he sees Sherlock duck his head in a small cringe, though he continues to refuse to look up at her. “You should be ashamed of yourself. It’s not decent.”

_______________<blockquote>

He moved like a predator; all grace and agility for the sake of deliberate stealth rather than for show, like a cougar sneaking up in ambush. A sauntering walk; his left arm hanging loose at his side while his fingers of his right hand worked to rebutton his absurdly expensive suit jacket.

Gorgeous. Though, without a doubt, deadly.

Fic Rec - An Alternate Ending

So…. that just happened. If you haven’t already, mosey on over to the fic I co-authored with@sherlockssister1 No More We got some things from Ep3 right. We’d had The Game Master instead of Eunus. We had a pretty close version on the “choose Mycroft or John” scene mashed up with the Governor scene - except ours Sherlock didn’t side-step ‘the problem’. We had an actual confrontation of feelings and happy ending for them.

Also someone pointed out to me this week that I’d guessed the “it is what it is” saying that John kept saying in this fic: Know When You’ve Been Beaten -also an actual confrontation of everything and happy ending.

I’ll put my reaction to this episode in a second post because it gets a little ranty..
