Life is kicking my ass right now, so we all know one thing that ALWAYS makes ANYONE feel better… Johnlock fanfiction.

If anyone has any recs, please drop some in the comments or reblog. Preferably, I’m looking for some long plotty fics, but fluffy fics are good too. At this point, just put anything, I’m desperate and I feel like I have so many Sherlock fics to discover. And I need comfort.

Thank you😭

Hi sweetie...! Let me give you a hug first

A tight one. Hope your situation get better soon...

On AO3 I have a few bookmarks atm, I can share them with you.

Thanks! :)

Hi Lovely!!

If anyone has any new suggestions for us, PLEASE do add them so I can eventually make a whole list myself :)

My fic 'Dog Days' has John turned into a dog for most of the story, if that counts? It's crack treated seriously. There may even be real dog adoption in there.

Dog Days by All_I_need (E, 101,627 w., 24 Ch. || Post-Baskerville AU || Experiments Gone Wrong, Fluff and Humour) – John has an accident in the laboratory of the Baskerville military facility. While they wait for the scientists to find a solution, he and Sherlock must re-examine the nature of their friendship as they navigate daily life and the Work, all while trying to answer the truly important questions: Is it okay to pet your flatmate if he happens to be a dog at the moment? And how exactly do you beg a self-professed sociopath for cuddles? Part 1 of Dog Days

=====

Cheers Lovely! <3

Dog Days is one of tHe BeST pupper fics in this fandom. John as a dog is beyond adorable. Do read!!! @the-reading-lemon THANK YOU!

John is almost reconciled to his fate and turning his attention to his new life, but a series of coincidences (and yes, he knows what the Holmes brothers used to say about those) is making him rethink. Perhaps it’s not just him.

Thank you again everyone for their support. I think we’re about half way through this little tale now and things are about to get real.

what's that one about "fifty reasons to..." or something, it's been years but it was steamy.

OH!! I just checked my MFL list and a quick search for the word “reason” brought up this one, which seems like it’s the right one:

Fifty Good Reasons by mistyzeo (E, 53,940 w., 50 Ch. || Set of Ficlets, Various Tags, Molly/John, Mycroft/Anthea, Johnlock) – Inspired by the 50 Reasons To Have Sex Fic Fest, this is the version where it's all Sherlock & John. Also it is a big mistake on my part.

Hope this is it! :D

yep, that's the one!

THREE FICS TAG GAME

Rules: Recommend us 3 of YOUR fics: 1 that is “most popular” and 2 that are “hidden gems!“ 

My most popular fic by both kudos and hits:

Ghost Stories (22K, M, Johnlock) Summary: Sherlock’s parents think he and John are a couple. They might be onto something. 

This story was written just days before series 4 aired, so it is not canon-compliant regarding Mary and the baby. I think what makes it so popular is the confluence of several tropes: only one bed, “fake” relationship, meeting the parents, friends to lovers, and being in a relationship without realizing/talking about it.

Hidden gem #1

The Inferno Club (20K, E, Johnlock) Summary: “I’m easy to find,” said the young woman. “Hell, London, gets me every time.” The real story behind The Adventure of the Illustrious Client.

This is an ACD verse fic, so that’s obviously why it’s less popular, but I really liked how I was able to fuse the original ACD story with the imagined backstory. I also had fun with the Victorian BDSM club. I hope some more readers will too!

Hidden gem #2

Tristram Holmes AU (182K, M, Johnlock) Spinoff of the Getting Better series by nox_candida.

This isn’t exactly hidden; it was quite popular when I first posted it, but it hasn’t really seen much traffic in recent years. It’s very AU at this point, but it’s a cracking good casefic with lots of action, adventure, and romance. I’ve just re-read it, and it definitely has stood the test of time :)

Edit: LOL I forgot to tag anyone, but as always with these, no pressure on anyone and I would love for anyone to join in who feels like doing it!

THREE FICS TAG GAME

Thank you, dear @calaisreno for thinking of me! Let’s see;

Most Popular Fic:

I am a johnlocker — my true OTP. However my most popular fic is my S3 fix-it Greglock! S3 John broke my heart with his fists and his weddings, so I put Lestrade in the front line to befriend a lonely and despondent Sherlock. He inserted himself in places where he was sorely needed throughout the series, including Sherlock’s broken heart! (and his bed).

This story was so much fun to write! Disclaimer: No John Watsons were hurt —too badly— in the making of this fic. Though he did chose the assassin, so here he must live with the consequences.

Hidden Gems:

I like to post my finished work, so I only have eight stories on AO3. Frankly, I love them all, but these two came to mind.

Written right after FTSF, as an apology to John, this may be my “fluffiest” fic yet. Adapted from one of my comfort movies, Sherlock is stuck in his boring job, still grieving his husband Victor. A new member in his team suddenly awakens his closed off deductive skills, while Sherlock blows John’s mind! I also included a case, that was adapted from a favorite story by my favorite author.

The title refers to the rough streets where the guys find each other at the very beginning of the story. They are younger here, more like the gay pilot guys, and I loved making them fall for each other fast and hard. No worries, there are no actual bowels present and no one really gets killed.

Please anyone who would like to, join in! If you haven’t been tagged yet, here goes some,

The Necessity is wonderful-- loved it ❤️ Now I need to go read The Bowels of London! (Sorry, I'm on a strict Johnlock diet! No greglock allowed-- though I love stories where they are friends!) My wish for you is many more happy inspirations and stories for us to read!

THREE FICS TAG GAME

Thank you, @arwamachine , for tagging me! (I think someone else did as well, but I've forgotten who.) In any case, I think you for thinking of me.

Most Popular Fic: Synchronicity

Sometimes the universe winks at you, just to let you know.

Summary: John and Sherlock meet again, years after they were school boys together. John hasn't forgotten why he still hates Sherlock Holmes.

Author note: I certainly had a lot of fun writing this. Glad so many people loved it!

Hidden Gems:

I've written 123 stories, so there are bound to be a few that are overlooked. Here are two written a while ago that might do better now than they did then.

Summary: Sherlock finds himself in a parallel world where he is supposedly dead.

I love parallel world stories, but neither of the ones I've written (Q-Axis and this one) have been big hits, though they have their fans. This one is sort of cracky towards the end, but also heart-rending. Happy ending, John and Sherlock in the same universe.

At any rate, I am currently writing another one for this series: Offset.

Summary: At night, anything you can imagine can happen in the woods.

One of the very early stories I wrote on AO3, where Sherlock is a magical creature discovered by a lonely boy, John Watson. About growing up, losing the magic of childhood, and rediscovering love when you least expect it.

I don't know who else has done this, but would love to know the hidden gems of other writers: @discordantwords @jobooksncoffee @raina-at @helloliriels @khorazir @jrow @vulpesmellifera

Three Fics Tag Game

I wasn’t tagged, but am playing along anyway. 

Rules: Recommend us 3 of YOUR fics: 1 that is “most popular” and 2 that are “hidden gems!“

Most Popular:

My my most popular based on hits/kudos. A 5+1 fic in which John and Sherlock grow closer as John learns more about the man he has thrown his lot in with. The story is chronological, with each section referencing an episode from the first two series (the +1 is my spin on a Reichenbach fix-it). This was great fun to write, full of small, but meaningful moments between John and Sherlock.

Hidden Gems:

I can never get enough reunion fics, so I decided to add my own to the many, many glorious ones already out there (two cakes are better than one, right??). I have a soft spot for this story, which finds John back in Afghanistan after Sherlock’s Fall. He meets a man of mystery, and one he knows (and loves) all too well.

I love writing 221b ficlets inspired by particular moments in canon. This one centers on Sherlock’s state of mind in the aftermath of his and John’s intense reunion. Some of the lines in this are among the favorite I’ve written. 

**

I tag everyone. If you see this and would like to recommend three of your own fics, please do!

🧐 Do you spend much time researching for your stories?

Avatar

Depends.

For the original fiction, as you know, it's a created world so not really. Arguably I should have done more, given the number of things I had to go back and fix after I learned more about early childhood development &c.

For the fanfiction...the amount of research time varies depending on the story. With the Sherlock stuff, there is a pattern: the first post-season finale story is basically a fix-it that recontextualizes the finale and requires very little outside research. Then, as the hiatus drags on, I do a sequel where the plot is basically invented, and at that point I often have to do a lot more research.

So for instance I did very little research for "Empty Houses" because it was based on the events of "The Reichenbach Fall." But I did a ton of research for "Young Men Carbuncular," mostly involving London geography, chickens, and toxic plants--because I had decided to create a plot that included poisons, chickens, and Molly and Lestrade locating a crime scene by reconstructing the victim's movements across London. Similarly, "Law Like Love" is a fix-it for "His Last Vow" and mostly works with information given in that episode. "Prior Engagements," the sequel, goes deep into Mary Morstan's backstory; and at the time that I wrote it, we knew nothing about it, so I had to do a lot of research for that--again, mostly about the geography of the Sussex downs, which I really enjoyed. "Christmas Time After Time," again, is a fix-it for "The Final Problem" (and all of season 4 really) but I did have to get caught up on an entire season of Doctor Who to write it. I don't know whether that counts as research.

But definitely the most intensive research time vs. writing time ratio was with the "Missing Pages" series, which is set in 1891. I know the period pretty well but there was still a lot to look up. "The Adventure of Holy Peters" was the most research-intensive story because it involves things I don't normally write about, most of them having to do with sailing and some of them having to do with nutrition, chloroform, and oxygen tanks.

I came to really enjoy the research--this is one area where we can legitimately say the Internet is a godsend, because I would never have been able to put the time in to find all these things out in, say, a library.

Hi steph! So I read a fics like six month ago and I would like to find it again.....

#1: Sherlock is a actor who's kinda in decline, he once acted in a movie that I think is call Kamisza or something similar, I could be wrong though, and John is a very good actor who has been stuck in the rom-com rut, and they are both cast to play in a movie called 'to a stranger' that has a gay romance and a romance blossoms behind the set too. It's pretty long.

Thanks,

HI LOVELY!!

This is one of the most popular fics in the fandom, if I'm not mistaken (it's been a long time since I've read it, but this plot sounds eerily similar):

Performance In a Leading Role by Mad_Lori(E, 156,714 w., 21 Ch. || PODFIC AVAILABLE|| Hollywood / Actor AU, Secret Relationship, Falling in Love, Slow Burn, Romance, Coming Out, Fluff and Angst, Pining) – Sherlock Holmes is an Oscar winner in the midst of a career slump. John Watson is an Everyman actor trapped in the rom-com ghetto. When they are cast as a gay couple in a new independent drama, will they surprise each other? Will their on-screen romance make its way into the real world? Part 1 of Performance in a Leading Role

Hope that helps, Bee!!! :)

And “ The Only One in the World; I Invented the Job” by apliddell. https://archiveofourown.org/works/691284/chapters/1270251

The first one especially is utterly glorious, if you’ve not read, I hope you enjoy and recommend widely! Thank you again.

——

OMG ATLIN. I am always humbled and honoured whenever fic authors message or at me and send me their own recs. I don’t know why, maybe because I feel so unworthy, lol.

ANYWAY, thank you SO much for sharing your faves with us, and I am so happy to promote them for sure! I haven’t read either of these yet, so I look forward to checking them out some day, hahah!

Everyone go give these fics some love :)
