Sherlolly in WWII Paris, please & thank you!

He doesn't know where she is, or if she has managed to survive; all he knows is her handwriting, and the odd little tick she has to her 'V's and her 'Q's.

It is a wet afternoon in a small little alley just off the Passage de Panoramas, and a glimpse of fresh chalk makes him stop. Rain gathers in his tousled hair, droplets running down his back from the upturned collar of his coat; he reaches out with trembling fingers to trace the shape of the letter 'V', hastily scribbled and beginning to smudge from the water---but there is no mistaking that odd little tick.

Give me a pairing, an AU setting, and I'll write you a three-sentence fic!

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.

Mycroft Holmes hated Christmas. He hated the winter, the cold actually made his knee and hip ache - though that was not something others were ever to know - the tiny crystals of frozen death that fell from the sky to disrupt the proper function of transportation were terrible, the blinking lights and loud noises brought about his migraines, the abysmal excuse for what passed as music - not to mention the people singing it, dear Lord - the ever increasing social obligations and nonstop political kowtowing, the people, the sheer volume of people... Part 7 of Guess My Race Is Run

By A Thousand Cuts by 7PercentSolution and J_Baillier (E, 95,662 w., 21 Ch. || Surgeon / Medical AU || Angst, Family Issues / Dynamics, Drama, Established Relationship, Autism Spectrum, Ableism, Depression, Romance, Hospitals, Neurosurgery, Anaesthesia, Doctor!John, Doctor!Sherlock, Christmas, Therapy, Psychological Trauma, Childhood Bullying, Career Crisis, Anger, Hurt/Comfort, Addiction, Sensory Processing Disorder, Parenting, Holidays, Whump) – It's hard to let go of the past, especially when going home for the holidays. An incident just before Christmas brings unpleasant memories to the surface, and the wounds Sherlock carries may take more than just time to heal. Part 11 of the You Go To My Head series

Wild About Harry Series by PlaidAdder (T, 397,189  w. across 9 works || Harry/Clara and Johnlock, Post-TRF, Canon Compliant, Dancing, Case Fics, Morning After, Teamwork, Drug Use, Doctor Who Crossover, Christmas, Alcoholism, Fix It Fics, Alternating POVs, Established Relationships) – This started as a post-Reichenbach fic and turned into a series in which Harry Watson is a repeating character. John and Sherlock get together in the first story ("Empty Houses") and thereafter it's either developing relationship or established relationship. Most of this is case fic and long, but there are a few shorter ones.

A big chapter is coming up in A Noble Cause! And shockingly enough I’m at least a third of the way done already. To celebrate, have a lil preview. 😘

Ch 12 (coming soon)

“Miss Hooper?”

Whirling in surprise, Molly smiled at the unexpected but far from unwelcome voice. “Mr Holmes!”

He rested his hand against the strap of the leather satchel across his torso, glancing around them. “I was just taking advantage of the woods and-“

“Collecting samples of the local flora and fauna I imagine, seeing as you will no longer have convenient access to such things once you’re settled in London tomorrow,” Molly inferred without hesitation.

A smile tugged at his lips, and something like pride shone in his eyes as he replied softly. “Precisely.” He paused a breath, then gestured to the path. “Would you care to walk with me?”

[french-vanilla-in-the-clouds]

just wondering when we can expect your next work? i’m so excited for it!!🥹

Heyy! I've been a bit inattentive to my writing lately, BUT I'm finally on the right track! Here's a list of what to expect in the next while 🖤🖤🖤

*** I'll be updating this post with links as the fics come through! ***

────────⊳⋆⊲────────

𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐊

• Fixation (sherlock x reader)

*** Sherlock and Y/N have always teased each other relentlessly, claiming one was fixated on the other. One night while on a case, they realize that their banter holds a ring of truth. 𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐟𝐟

• Deadlights (sherlock x reader)

Sherlock falls asleep on movie night, and has a vivid dream where he indulges in childhood fantasies and present-day love. *cough* Pirate!Sherlock *cough*. 𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐟𝐟

• Hands of Gold (sherlock x reader)

*** Though he's known as a man of  reason and cold logic, Sherlock secretly covets a life of art and romance. When a bookworm moves next door, he finds himself bewitched, both body and soul. 𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐟𝐟

• Painted Faces (sherlock x reader)

*** Though Sherlock and Y/N have established a close relationship, both fear the consequences of commitment. When Molly Hooper flirts with Sherlock at St. Bart's charity ball, hearts are tested and promises are made. MASQUERADE FIC!!!! 𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐭/𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐟𝐟

• Thursday Thrill (sherlock x reader)

This fic is just Sherlock being totally chaotic. He comes home high off the thrill of case solving and proceeds to damage the flat, and drive Y/N insane (in the best way, of course). 𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐟𝐟

𝐒𝐔𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐋

• Line without a Hook (sam x reader)

*** SONG FIC! Snapshots of Sam and Y/N's blooming relationship; from first meetings to hidden feelings. 𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐭/𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐟𝐟

• Castles in the Air (sam x reader)

When Y/N gets too invested in hunting, Sam is there to remind her that it's okay to take a break. A slow dance in a local bistro sets things straight. 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭/𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐟𝐟

• Meeting and Dating Dean Winchester (dean x reader)

Headcanon! 𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐟𝐟

• Midnight Song (castiel x reader)

After coming home from an impactful hunt, Y/N suffers a nightmare. Castiel hears her silent prayer and rushes in. Hidden feelings come to light. 𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐭/𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭/𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐟𝐟

• The Angel's Flight, ch 3 (castiel x reader)

Y/N comes home to the bunker and faces Dean for the first time since her exile. A phonecall with Castiel reminds her of everything she's lost, and everything she doubts she'll get back.

• Chevy to the Levy (tfw x reader)

Driving lessons with Sam, Dean, and Cas! What could possibly go wrong? 𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐟𝐟

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐗-𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐒

• The Burning Wire (mulder x reader)

*** When Mulder arrests Alex Krycek, he sets the stage for a dangerous reprise. Y/N is now in the line of fire, and Mulder's enemies are determined to hurt her if it means breaking his morale. He must make a choice: let her go, or condemn her. 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐭/𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐟𝐟

• Blue Arrow (mulder x reader)

After solving a high priority case, Y/N is celebrated by the bureau, and marked as a hero. Though she hasn't mentioned it, she owes her success to spooky Mulder and his X-files. She's captivated by the eccentric agent, and is delighted to see him at an FBI get-together. 𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐟𝐟

• Visitation (mulder x reader)

While investigating an X-file, Fox Mulder begins stealing borrowing private documents from Agent Y/N. Punitive measures aren't exactly what he expected... 𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐟𝐟

Molly: A party is a celebration of a life, bringing people together to let the guest of honour know how much they're loved. Sherlock has done so much for us. This is our chance to do something for him.

John: By forcing him to have fun at a party that he doesn't want to be at?

Irene: I knew you'd understand.

The Fics I’ve Written

(I borrowed a bit of @inevitably-johnlocked’s tagging system for this- I hope you don’t mind, Steph!)

༺═──────────────═༻

Note: The list goes from oldest to newest, so my older fics aren’t great and aren’t Johnlock. There will be a clear divide in when they become Johnlock again.

Not Johnlock/Read at Own Risk

Prior Engagements

(M, 2,084 w., 1 Ch. || Canon Divergence, Angst, Semi-Canonical Character Death, Warstan-ish)

Summary: What if Sherlock had never died? What if he never jumped off of the roof of St. Barts Hospital and instead successfully defeated Moriarty? What effect would it have on John and Mary?

He Fell

(M, 1,427 w., 1 Ch. || Post-Reichenbach, Angst, Sherlolly, Pining Molly Hooper, Bathing/Washing, POV Molly Hooper)

Summary: The aftermath of Reichenbach from Molly’s perspective.

Poison

(E, 5,933 w., 6 Ch., WIP || Graphic Depictions of Violence, Slight Non-Con, Canon Divergence, Angst, No Reichenbach, Abusive Tendencies, Blackmail, Sheriarty, Angst with an Unhappy Ending)

Summary: Sherlock is kidnapped by Moriarty, and must face a tireless onslaught of abuse as he attempts to break free. (WIP/Sort of abandoned.)

Not Until It’s Gone

(M, 4,109 w., 5 Ch., WIP || Fluff, Warnings Don’t Apply Because It’s Abandoned, Straight John Watson, Sheriarty)

Summary: Sherlock Holmes and Jim Moriarty have what one might call a complicated relationship. Chips, bombs, and poolside chats are their ideas of 'romantic'. They're basically each other's addiction. Unfortunately, addictions are almost always bad for you... (Abandoned.)

Johnlock/Better Written

A Bug in Baker Street

(T, 1,525 w., 1 Ch. || Fluff, Poor Mycroft, Naughty Misunderstandings, IKEA Furniture, Mycroft’s Meddling is Detrimental as Usual)

Summary: Mycroft bugged Baker Street. Sherlock and John are there alone…Well, what did he expect?

The Wedding

(T, 2,474 w., 1 Ch. || Canon Divergence, Angst, Drug Abuse, Ambiguous Ending, Minor Warstan, Sherlock-Focused, Mrs. Hudson Cares a Lot)

Summary: Sherlock Holmes can't bear to see John get married. Unfortunately, he's powerless to stop it.

The Fall

(M, 2,214 w., 2 Ch. || Angst, Deathfic, Pining John Watson, Requited Love, Happy Ending Because I Was Threatened, Canon Divergence)

Summary: John is finally ready to go meet Sherlock. (Edit- Now has a second chapter because my friends hated me for the original ending.)

Three Acts

(M, 5,799 w., 5 Ch. || Canon Divergence, Angst, Minor Warstan, Series Three Fix-It, Post-Reichenbach, POV Sherlock Holmes, Canonical Character Death, No Rosie)

Summary: Mary is not who she seems. (Series three fix-it/Alternate ending)

The Blue Scarf

(M, 734 w., 1 Ch. || Angst, Ambiguous Ending, Mourning John Watson, Post-Reichenbach, Character Death)

Summary: John Watson, immediately post-Reichenbach.

I’m Right Here

(T, 3,027 w., 1 Ch. || Fluff, Tooth-Rotting Fluff, John Watson/OFC, Humour, Sherlock is Bad at Feelings, John Goes on Dates)

Summary: So, John keeps going on dates, even though Sherlock is. Right. Here. What’s he doing wrong? And why does John always end up back at Baker Street?

My Heart Beats For You

(M, 1,212 w., 1 Ch. || Angst, Unrequited Love, Unhappy Ending, One-Sided Johnlock, Canon Divergence, TLD Rewrite, Hanahaki Disease, Major Character Death)

Summary: Things go very, very badly when John makes a horrible mistake. (The Lying Detective canon divergence.)

Illusion of Choice

(T, 1,553 w., 1 Ch. || Angst, Canonical Character Death, Canon Divergence, Unhappy Ending, Deathfic, Unrequited Johnlock)

Summary: Yet another Canon Divergence from Reichenbach. This time, Sherlock does something very, very unexpected.

Miscellaneous/Current Projects

Just a Magic Trick

(M, 1,004 w., 1 Ch. || Angst, Canon Divergence, Canonical Character Death, TRF Rewrite, One-Sided Sheriarty, POV Jim Moriarty)

Summary: Jim Moriarty didn’t really mean for Sherlock to die. He didn’t want this. Any of this. But it’s too late, now. Can’t he just understand that it was a game? It was just a game. Dinner, Mr. Holmes?

(M, 21,275 w., 6/11 Ch., WIP || Angst, Canon Divergence, Hannibal Fusion, Happy Ending, Slowburn Johnlock, Cannibalism)

Summary: Sherlock races to solve a string of violent, targeted, and cannibalistic murders before his loved ones are next. It’s a good thing Dr. Hannibal Lecter is there to help him solve the case. Right? (WIP.) S. Moran Interview Transcripts

(M, 1,675 w., 2 Ch. || Angst, Implied MorMor, POV Sebastian Moran, Post-Reichenbach, Canon Compliant, Mycroft Makes Mistakes, Audio Transcript Format)

Summary: Error. The recording of [redacted] you are looking for does not exist.

One Word

(T, 1,423 w., 1 Ch. || Angst, Sherlock Does It All For John, Ambiguous Ending, Canon Divergence, TRF Rewrite, POV Jim Moriarty, Implied/Referenced Suicide)

Summary: What if one word was all it took to change the canon course of The Reichenbach Fall forever?

oooh, sherlolly soulmates au?

On his return from Sherrinford, Sherlock discovers Molly's name is on his wrist, and it is infuriating.

"I don't want a soulmate," he snarls, because he's petulant.

"Good, because I don't want you," she says while pulling her sleeve over the place where his name is on her wrist, because this time, she means it.

Give me a pairing, an AU setting, and I’ll write you a three-sentence fic!

Five Fics Friday: June 24/22

Hey All! 

It’s a holiday Friday for me today, so I’m just happy to be able to enjoy a day doing dick all, and possibly reading some new fics :) Hope you enjoy today’s selection of fics to get you through the weekend :)

Enjoy!

SIGNAL BOOSTING

(Ex) Love Letters Series by Biana_Amberly_Vacker (T, 4,197 w. across 3 works || Angst, Poetry, Getting Back Together, Love Letters) – John and Sherlock used to love each other. Even after everything, maybe they still do.

RECENT MFLs

The Romance Was There by apliddell (G, 4,011 w., 1 Ch. || PODFIC AVAILABLE || Post S3, Post Mary, Christmas, Domestics, Villain Mary, Platonic Bedsharing, Love Confessions, First Kiss, Angst, Fluff, Friends to Lovers, Love Letters) – In which Sherlock reveals his merits as a housekeeper, and a few other things, too.

The Fix by peg22 (E, 24,730 w., 8 Ch. || Pre-TGG, Background Pre-Mystrade, Humour, Angst, Drug Addiction, First Time, Hurt/Comfort, Case Fic, Bathroom Sex, Bathing/Washing, Panic Attacks, BAMF Lestrade) – Sherlock goes out to buy milk and disappears. Lestrade fears it's the past coming back to haunt them - Sherlock buried in a bolthole getting high. Mycroft tends to agree. But John believes that Sherlock would never disappear without telling him.

From Here to There and Back Again by thegildedbee (M, 36,045 w., 28 Ch. || Alternate First Meeting AU ||  First Kiss, Fluff, 221B Baker Street) – An alternative first meeting for John Watson and Sherlock Holmes -- with conditions that are close to how it goes according to canon, but, well, not exactly. There is still Mike Stamford and Bart's and Mrs. Hudson and 221B, but Sherlock and John first meet when John is already in residence at Baker Street (at the bottom of the stairs, rather than at the top), courtesy of Mike and Mrs. H putting their heads together about how to coax two skittish recluses to venture forth and spark joy. Assistance lent by Mycroft Holmes, Molly Hooper, Greg Lestrade, Angelo, and Pendragon the Cat. Things may not always go quite smoothly, but over the course of a month, it's just a matter of degrees of fluff until John and Sherlock end up where they should be.

6 Simple Rules For Dating John Watson by prettysailorsoldier (M, 81,958 w., 22 Ch. || Teenager / University AU || Cheating, Christmas, Fluff, Friends to Lovers, Roommates) – John Watson's love life may have had its ups and downs, but at least it had some structure.

Promt: getting into an argument and accidentally admit feelings for eachother.

Loooved your recent stories btw❤️❤️

Hi!! It’s been forever since you sent this so thanks for being patient. ☺️ I wrote a one shot for the 2022 sherlolly week about 9 months ago and it was one that really stuck in my brain. I’ve been thinking about doing more with it since then and it suddenly hit me that your prompt would work really well. Hope you don’t mind that I used it for this! Here’s ch 2 of the fic below and I’ll also link to AO3. And surprise… a third and final chapter will also be coming tomorrow! 🥳 be sure to let me know your AO3 name, so I can gift it to you. Happy reading! 😁

Please Don’t ch 2

Returning from town after settling some business, Sherlock opted to take the long winding road back to Musgrave Hall, which took him through the woods. He was never in much of a rush to return to his family’s estate anyway, and much preferred the intrigue of the natural world. There was where he discovered the unexpected and learned things he never would have if stuck behind a desk all day. Besides, best to stay active, having seen the physical results from his brother’s very different choice of profession and lifestyle.

Sherlock broke through the trees at one point in the path, the view opening up to the fields and cliffs that overlooked the seaside. This was always his favorite part of the walk. And after enjoying the impressive vista, Sherlock’s gaze shifted, as it always did, to settle on the fields and the little farmhouse which happened to be his personal favorite.

The Hooper farmhouse.

He didn’t always visit, but at the very least he liked to stop and take it all in, just for a little while. It had been a home away from home for him since he was a child. Sometimes even more of a home than his real one. Even the stillness of the home itself was pleasant to gaze at, perhaps with no other sigh of life than the puff of smoke coming from its chimney. But sometimes, if he waited a while… he might see her as well.

Once in a while when passing, he’d catch a glimpse of Molly Hooper, out in the fields or in the grounds around the house. She might be carrying firewood into the house or tending to the chickens and livestock or maintaining the home itself. No matter what it was, the occasional sight always made him smile, despite himself and his cold hearted nature.

But he always supposed that Molly was a part of those comforting childhood memories, so of course the sight of her was a pleasant one.

As Sherlock stood there in the breeze that came off the water that evening, he did indeed happen to see the door open. What he saw next though, was wholly unexpected.

A man stepped outside, too far off for Sherlock to recognize, placing his hat on his head as he beamed at Molly, who stood on the threshold bidding him farewell. Sherlock watched as the man visibly lingered and then finally tipped his hat and made his way to the road to take his leave. Then the door to the little home shut as Molly made her way back inside.

Sherlock couldn’t help but stand there in stunned silence for a few moments. This was… most perplexing. He felt… hurt? No of course not, merely concerned for her. Who was this man? Perhaps it was none of his affair but… this was his family’s land after all! Hadn’t he the right- nay, responsibility! The responsibility to ensure that Molly be wise in how she conducted herself!

Deciding he hadn’t a moment to lose, Sherlock impetuously marched down the hill towards the little house, having suddenly become a man on a mission. He knocked at her door upon arrival, then squared his shoulders.

Molly swung the door open without so much as a word of question.

“Did you forget someth- Oh, Mr Holmes, good evening.”

“Might I come in, Miss Hooper?”

She looked round in confusion for a moment before stepping aside to allow him entry.

“Is… is anything wrong, Sir?” Molly asked as they walked into the sitting room of the small home.

Sherlock merely sighed, stopping at the fireplace and leaning his hands against the mantle. “I’ve come by to advise you to take care, Miss Hooper,” he finally replied, turning round to face her, hands clasped behind his back.

“To take care?” She remained perplexed. “In what way, Sir?”

No point in beating around the bush.

“Who was that man who just left your home this evening?”

Realization flashed in her eyes. “You mean Thomas Harding? Yes, he was just here.”

Sherlock narrowed his eyes, thinking. “Thomas Harding… he is the blacksmith, is he not?”

“Yes, that’s him.”

“Mmm.”

Molly’s brow furrowed a bit. “But, Sir, why must I take care? What is the meaning of this?”

Sherlock gave a little huff. “Do you think it proper that this Mr Harding be calling on you here? Alone?”

Molly’s entire demeanor changed, though he supposed he shouldn’t be surprised. She crossed her little arms tightly over her slightly flour coated dress and glared at him.

“Mr Harding is a respectable man, I’ll have you know! I offered him refreshment but he refused to even take a seat! Merely stood inside my doorstep and made polite conversation after giving me the bunch of flowers you see before you on the mantel.” Molly gave Sherlock a pointed little look up and down. “You’ve certainly never been so shy about making yourself at home here!”

“That is completely different,” Sherlock proclaimed, stalking about the room. “I am the landlord!”

“And I s’pose that means rules of propriety don’t apply to you, then?”

“It means I have the right to take an interest in the lives of my tenants! And a blacksmith? Pff! Really, Miss Hooper, surely you can do better than that.”

Molly’s jaw dropped, her eyes went wide and she dropped her arms in her shock.

“Mr Holmes, first you insult my reputation, and now you insult my choice of suitor! As I said, Mr Harding is a good man, and he is also an honest worker. What more can a simple woman hope for?!”

“He is dim witted and would make a dull husband,” Sherlock replied flatly.

Molly’s voice rose further. “He is kind hearted and would surely cherish me! And what business is it of yours who I wed?”

Sherlock could feel himself running short on ammunition, and his fingers tapped against his own hand in wild agitation as he walked.

“This land is an investment, after all. I paid its debts a year ago and that has turned out to be a profitable choice. I have no desire to see that come to nothing once again when you wed a man who hasn’t the backbone or smarts to succeed at working a plot of land!”

Her face fell in a way that nearly made his hardened exterior crumble completely.

“I… I know this land is your family’s investment. Of course it is,” she said more softly. “But I thought that attachment to… to my father was your motivation in paying our debts. Was that a lie?”

Perhaps that was a bad choice of argument.

“I- I never said that.”

“Well then what is this?” Molly demanded, her combative tone returning. “How and why do you expect me to tend to this land and this home forever on my own? And why should I give up on the dream of a good husband and family simply because I cannot have-“ She stopped, placing her hands heavily on her hips and turning away.

“Cannot have what?!” he pushed against his better judgment, drawing nearer.

“I cannot have more than this and it is cruel for you to pretend that I can!” Molly bit back, whirling to face him again, her eyes now glistening. “An honest blacksmith who’ll treat me kindly and that I might just grow to care for one day is all I can have!”

She paused for breath and Sherlock nearly rushed to her in that instant. For what, he couldn’t say, but he held his feet back, not fully expecting what came next.

“Because I cannot have the man I truly want!”

Sherlock clenched his jaw and fists at his side, feeling like every inch of his skin humming with a maddening energy. “You see?! This is precisely why I needed to advise you! You are a fool, Molly Hooper, if you think you cannot have any man you set your mind to!”

She was the one to move then, marching over toe to toe with him, though somehow feeling the need to be louder still. “And you are the greater fool for being blind to what has been right before your eyes for years! Because it is you that I want and can never have!”

“Ha! Yes you can!”

Oh.

Oh.

The room went completely still and silent, save for the soft crackling of the fireplace and the sound of both his and Molly’s unsteady breathing. Sherlock’s mind went over and over what they’d both just said, trying to make sense of it all. Had he always known how she felt? Had he always known how he felt? Perhaps deep down he had.

The difference was that now there was simply no escaping it.

Contains: a lot of Greek wine, embedded casefic, industrial-strength smut (starting around ch. 19), the birth of firearms discipline and other freeform but entirely justified anachronism, body parts (some still splendidly, if not magnificently, in use), and True Love tested to destruction… and final triumph.

Just posted: Ch. 36, "Of The Darkness Before The Dawn and What Befell Within It." In the lavish Egyptian home of the two prime suspects in the ancient world's most notorious serial murders, the Consulting God and Prince Iaon risk their lives to find crucial evidence that will release the souls of forty-nine unjustly condemned Danaïds from Hell. But bad luck has betrayed the God into the suspects’ hands. Drugged and helpless, he's now bait in a trap meant to lure Iaon to the same fate planned for the God: a one-way trip to the Houses of Hades...
