i was suddenly hit by johnlock fever
for a reason that I too don't know, lol. So here are some johnlock fic I've read in the past three months.
Tumblr media
Illusory Correlation and Confirmation Bias by VanillaBegonias | T, 10.4k words | Looking back, there were a few things that should’ve tipped Greg off long before that night at the pub. A few things Sherlock left fairly obvious, that on reflection, made Greg question how he’d gotten his job in the first place.
A Long Time Coming by thestanceyg | T, 5.8K words | Sherlock's been acting strangely, and Lestrade isn't sure why. One day he finds a shirtless soldier in Sherlock's flat and things start to make a lot more sense.
Sherlock's Who? by freakypet | G, 4.1k words | John has been away for Sherlock's entire career and suddenly returns to London unexpectedly from Afghanistan. Injured and tired and in pain, all he wants is to surprise Sherlock and kiss his husband. His search to find and surprise his wayward partner takes him across London and meets him up with those in Sherlock's world he has only heard about until now.

@pipmer's latest @holmestice offering is a gift, and not just in the obvious way. The tone is just perfect, earnest and (almost willfully) oblivious in equal measures. I was going to quote my favorite bits but found there was no part I wouldn't love to share with you. A particularly fun bit is below the cut, but truly, do yourself a favor and just go read the thing.
(Pipmer, this was such a fun read! I was smiling ear to ear from start to finish.)
“Would that qualify as a date?”
“What?”
“The event we just attended. Was that a date?”
“What, the performance at the London Symphony?”
‘Yes. I paid for the tickets. I invited you to come along. We sat next to each other, in the dark, for several hours. Now we are going to dine at the Criterion, which I also reserved and paid for. Does this qualify as a date?”
“Nope.”
“Why not?”
“Because there’s no kiss waiting to happen at the end of the evening.”
(Several hours later)
“Sherlock, what are you doing?”
“I’ve just walked you home, and am now waiting for that kiss.”
“...”
“...”
“Sherlock, you didn’t walk me home. We *both* live here.”
“Which actually implies that we are beyond the dating stage, but have it your way.”
“We’re flatmates!”
“Yes.”
“We have separate bedrooms.”
“I have been reliably informed that one does not jump into bed with someone until they have at least kissed. On the lips.”
“Oh for — mmphh!!”

Misters to be - a Johnlock fanfiction - Chapter 1 - Deathsletters - Sherlock (TV) [Archive of Our Own]
I actually think the idea is really fun!
It's not a complete fanfiction and it announces that they will be multiple chapters.
It's written in John Watson's perspective and tells how he met Sherlock Holmes and how they found themselves to get married so as to John can stay on the British ground (since he's from Afghanistan in this version). They only know each other for a few weeks and I can't wait to read how it will evolve!

Hello everyone!!
Its been 4-5 years since I was active on this blog, but I never stopped reading Johnlock fan fictions.
Since I’ve been using my ao3 bookmarks as a hoarding ground for every fic I’ve read in that time, I thought those curations may be better appreciated on tumblr!
So stay tuned if you’re still looking to read some Johnlock tales, mostly BBC but occasionally ACD slips in there too.
❤️

bet you thought you wouldn’t see more of these lists huh. man. this one has been sitting in my drafts for SO long now, mostly complete except for this little chatty bit. those of you who’ve been around for a while probably know i’m a champion procrastinator but this one really takes the cake 🤡 june felt very much like a nothing-month because nothing really happened. it was just very monotonous. and also hot. hope y’all’s june was fun though! and that it wasn’t too unbearably hot, wherever you live. july is basically over now, and wow this was. one hell of a month. and i think that threw me off a bit! after a whole month of nothing, suddenly EVERYTHING happened, and just kept happening, and it was all a bit much. not in a totally bad way, but definitely overwhelming. anyway, i shall cease the rambling now 😮‍💨 on to the main event!
key: blue: reread • 🏳️‍🌈 pride month theme • 💌 valentine’s day • 🐺 A/B/O • 🔎 victorian era fic
spotlight rec
✰ Totus Mundus Agit Histrionem by mistyzeo (42k, E) 🔎
The stage lost a fine actor, even as science lost an acute reasoner, when he became a specialist in crime.
January, 1881: a despondent army doctor is offered a ticket to a Shakespeare play, and is instantly captivated by the fellow playing the Danish prince himself. Then there is a murder. Then they fall in love.
i was hooked to this fic from the very first meeting of john and sherlock. a john pov that is so so good, it’s adorable to read how mesmerising and irresistible john finds sherlock. the flirting and wooing is so subtle and delicately done, even though it’s because they have to avoid drawing attention to their sexualities, there is an undeniable and inherent romanticism and sensuality to it. the whole fic is so sensual to me, with an unhurried pace that tells me the author has superb control over the fic. also a lovely sapphic couple in there too! (hint: one half of the couple is irene 😉) i absolutely love the interactions between the two couples, when john and sherlock can finally be comfortable and be themselves around at least two of their friends 🥹 and, of course, there is a murder. the balance between case and romance is perfect in my view, not too much and not too little of either. the two end up blending into one another, which is exactly as it should be.
bite sized (5k and less)
Do You Want to Know a Secret? by @chriscalledmesweetie (59, G) 🏳️‍🌈
John has a secret. Does Greg want to know?
The Hike-n-Talk Fall by @chriscalledmesweetie (529, G) 🏳️‍🌈
Sherlock is falling for John. Quite literally.
Paint Your Palette Lavender by @chriscalledmesweetie (80, G) 🏳️‍🌈
Sherlock has an epiphany.
Giving Us Lift by @chriscalledmesweetie (485, G) 🏳️‍🌈
How will John entertain Rosie while Sherlock is out on a case?
Interval by berlynn_wohl (3k, E) 🐺
"You shouldn't leave the window open in your state. It's dangerous.”
Antiseptic by @gaylilsherlock (3k, G)
What did John hear on that secret tape from Culverton’s hospital?
Both Sides Now by @totallysilvergirl (12k, M)
Sherlock, undercover on the Norfolk coast, texts that he needs help; John is still seething after Sherlock’s gambit in the train car, and he refuses. When Sherlock goes missing, Mycroft sends John in to pose as Sherlock’s bit on the side.
For Rent by Sexxica (4k, E)
John needs to let off some steam. What better way to do it than by hiring the prettiest rentboy on the block?
En Pointe by standbygo (3k, E)
Sherlock tries pointe shoes. John approves.
Random Numbers by songlin (1k, teen)
Just because they're not having sex doesn't mean they aren't intimate.
A collection of moments in the relationship of asexual!Sherlock and straight!John.
All That I Have by the_arc5 (3k, M)
In the aftermath of the Great Game, Sherlock finds himself with a new weakness. John is both the cause and the cure.
Neriine by Accident, holmesian_love (4k, teen)
Sherlock couldn’t resist. It wasn’t his fault. He had been walking by an alley and it called to him. So he put it in his coat pocket and took it home. He didn’t know how John would react. They had only been together two months now and he didn’t want to ruin things so early on, but he just couldn’t say no. He kept his hand in his pocket, holding his prize.
Il Est Revenu, Mon Amour by @gaylilsherlock (2k, G)
Can things that were once broken be put back together?
Happy Anniversary by Salamboo6 (3k, E)
John inhaled deeply, feeling his cock pulse under the silk gown, and he let his eyes travel on the lean body in front of him.
Sherlock was kneeling on the bed, their bed, and the picture had been taken so John could perfectly see his bare chest and pelvis. But what mattered most, what made John harden rather quickly, was the pair of panties Sherlock was wearing in the picture. Black, string over each hip and laces that outlined Sherlock’s erect cock barely hidden under the soft underwear.
Lingerie by Sexxica (4k, E) 💌
It's Valentines Day and Sherlock is taking John to Angelo's for dinner. Sherlock also happens to be wearing a garter belt, stockings and a rather small pair of women's underwear under his clothes. There's no dessert at Angelo's because John needs to get Sherlock home just as quickly as he can before they both lose their minds entirely.
Cypher by roane (2k, M)
When Sherlock fails to solve a case in time, John will need to be there to pick up the pieces.
Incendiary Hearts by @gaylilsherlock (1k, E)
What really happened in a corner of an abandoned tunnel in the London Underground?
Sherlock Holmes, the Artist by @gaylilsherlock (1k, G)
What if Sherlock had come back home to John before he’d ever even moved out of 221B?
Tell Me Your Secret by @gaylilsherlock (4k,E)
“You can use your soldier voice.”
Still, With Hearts Beating by @finamour (2k, E)
John already knows the sound of Sherlock’s heartbeat. He’s become familiar with his breathing patterns, the way they grow quicker and more shallow as the two of them run through the streets of London. He has, in a passing manner, come to know Sherlock’s scent; the colour of his skin in the dim light of the alleyway; the way his hair grows matted and sweaty against the nape of his neck on a warm July night.
But he has never been pressed up against Sherlock like this, the rise and fall of his breath pushing into his own body through their thin summer clothes. Until now, he has never been fully immersed in his scent, felt his hair softly brushing his face, the thrumming of Sherlock’s heart against his own chest.
fortune favours by @simplyclockwork (5k, M)
On military leave, John Watson discovers that his sister has signed him up for a blind date book event. The set-up is simple: one person brings a book and ends up on a blind date with whoever chooses their contribution.
To say that John is reluctant to attend is an understatement. Luckily, sparks fly between him and a stunning new author when he makes an unorthodox selection from the book choices.
short fics (5k-15k)
Stronger Than This by Laiquilasse (8k, E) 🐺
Sherlock is convinced John is stronger than his Alpha instincts, and he stronger than his Omega. So when Sherlock goes into heat, this is the first time John remains at Baker Street with him.
Heart Like Glass by Laiquilasse (15k, E) 🐺
It's the day after Sherlock's heat has ended, and a trip to the pharmacy brings out emotional baggage for both Sherlock and John. Sherlock struggles with the physical after-effects, and John with affarirs of the heart. As John takes care of the only omega in his life, he has to question how long they can keep this up, and whether there are some things better left unsaid, and if a life without bonding is truly possible for them.
Reignite by augustbird (9k, teen)
When Mary dies, John finds himself in financial trouble without a home for himself and his young son. There's not much choice except to turn to his ex, Sherlock Holmes.
Two Facts by SailorChibi (6k, G) 🐺
When Sherlock and John first mated they decided that they didn't want children. But now Sherlock's pregnant and it's threatening to tear his world apart. He knows John will leave him once he finds out, but how can he decide between his alpha and the child he didn't know he wanted?
A Fortuitous Oversight by scribblesinthebyline (14k, E) 🐺
Sherlock Holmes was perfectly content being a single parent until a scent on the wind caught his attention.
Casualty by @totallysilvergirl (12k, E)
Sherlock renders assistance at a hit-and-run and is left deeply shocked. When the accident turns into a case, John moves back in to 221b to help—and finds that Sherlock has way oversold his image as an emotionless thinking machine
The Important Bit by Solshine (9k, G)
Just where exactly is the line between “to love” and “to be in love”? What difference is required between “flatmate” and “husband”? (Besides the rings, obviously.) No, the important bit is that they have each other. Thirty years, give or take, in an atypical marriage. Basically a long bit of platonic domestic fluff.
The Losing Side by EchoSilverWolf, englandwouldfalljohn (10k, teen)
Sherlock was the only person whose loss had ever brought Captain John Watson to his knees.
I Need You to See Me by Mssmithlove (12k, E)
After going back to war, John is yet again invalided home, this time with a broken ankle and a chunk of his memory missing, unable to recall the last five years he's spent being Sherlock Holmes' partner and husband.
Strong at the Broken Places by @blueink3 (10k, M)
They dated for ten months during Sherlock's first year of uni and John's last before the latter went off to fight someone else's war.
When they meet again two-and-a-half years later, John's gained a scar in his shoulder and a limp he can't seem to shake.
Sherlock's gained a new boyfriend and bruises he can't seem to explain away.
The Adventure of the Apocalypse by CopperBeech (12k, teen)
John's anger at Sherlock over Mary's death meant a long break in their friendship, and it’s only precariously patched up. But now he's back in the sitting room of Baker Street, listening to a plump little bookseller and his dire-looking companion explain why they need Sherlock to help them find a certain boy before the impending End Of The World.
Rains of fish, violin playing, fast driving in a Ford Fiesta, and Sherlock and John working out what they mean to each other in the shadow of Armageddon.
Locked Room Mysteries (or, what really goes on at 221B) by @gaylilsherlock (12k, G)
What do the dashing detective and his beloved blogger get up to when the case is finished? More than you’d think.
All the Flavours, Cherry and More by cwb (6k, E)
“Mm, what is that? You taste good.”
“Cherry lip gloss.”
“Fabulous. What other secrets do you have for me, then?”
Sherlock feels a blush rising to touch his cheeks, more sensual than uncomfortable now that he knows John isn't disgusted by him. No, John is responding exactly the way he had hoped.
By the Bi by emilycare (7k, teen)
It's been a year of living together. Sherlock and John are getting more comfortable with one another. A bit. John's out of sorts tonight though.
Irene Adler insisted to John that he and Sherlock are in a relationship. This has John rethinking his understanding of himself. And Sherlock...well, is Sherlock. But in the face of some movie night cuddling, key information--finally--is shared.
Cracking the Code by CaitlinFairchild (6k, E)
They’re sure of each other, now. They’re settled. And as far as Sherlock is concerned, settled isn’t the least bit boring or stifling or constraining.
Settled is marvellous. Settled is freeing.
Settled means sometimes you make romantic love by candlelight, murmuring hushed words of endless devotion solely because you want to, because the moment feels right and good.
And sometimes, settled means you fuck on the sofa on a Saturday afternoon, straightforward and uncomplicated, no deep desperate romance necessary, just because fucking is fun.
mid length (16k-50k)
Shift by stopthat (46k, E)
Sherlock is tired.
John senses a shift.
“I’m tired, John,” He murmurs. Barely a whisper. John swallows, feeling irrationally helpless.
“I can see that,” He responds quietly, tracing an eyebrow with the pad of his thumb. “Sleep, then,” He can hear the crack in his own voice—a perfect match for the one in his chest. He hopes that Sherlock won’t notice, won’t try to pick it all apart.
“Not what I meant,” He rumbles, as he drifts off and away, leaving John alone in wakefulness to wonder what the hell had just happened.
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way To Samarra by @gaylilsherlock (20k, E) 🔎
And so Death said, “I was astonished to see your servant in Bagdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight, in Samarra.”
Holmes and Watson retreat to the good doctor’s family country home and lay their feelings bare. What follows, however, neither man could have foreseen.
*ACD-verse fic, imagined with Brett, Burke & later on Hardwicke, as the players, hence my fandom tags.
Let’s Make a Bed Out in the Rain by anonymous (17k, M)
John is devastated after his long-term girlfriend leaves him. Sherlock helps him through it.
Leave the Signs and the Sirens by out_there (24k, G)
After John's released and back home at Baker St, Sherlock still feels it. Down the centre of his chest there's an ache like a healing wound. A physical awareness of a body he usually ignores as much as he can. It's psychosomatic, nothing more interesting than that.
(Post-S1 AU)
long fics (50k and above)
The Men Who Talked Between Words by Odamaki (463k, E)
John expected to be a father some day; he expected to have the house, and the wife and the nice suburban job. Sherlock never expected to have children, in part because he never expected to make it past 30. As it turns out, you don't get a choice. Crammed into Baker Street with a baby, John struggles with single-parenthood and his own fears, while Sherlock treads the fine line between doing too little and saying too much.
Summit Fever by J_Baillier (78k, M)
After graduating from medical school, John Watson followed his heart to the Himalayas. Ten years later, he's a haunted cynic working for his ex-lover's trekking and mountaineering company. Will leading an expedition to Annapurna I — the most lethal of all the world's highest mountains — shake John out of his reverie, and who is the mystery client added to the group at the last minute?
The Agony and The Ecstasy of Sherlock Holmes by @gaylilsherlock (54k, E)
How many times will Sherlock Holmes die for John Watson?
series/collections
February Chaos 2021: Prompt Ficlets by @ohlooktheresabee
Winter’s Child series by Canon_Is_Relative, ImpishTubist (116k, 26 works, complete)
Five years after they meet, Sherlock and John adopt a baby boy.
The Unintentional Crafts of Sherlock Holmes series by cwb, KarlyAnne (13k, 3 works, incomplete)
The Oh, What a Night series by penumbra (fan comic, 3 works, complete)
I’ll Carry the Moon (and the Stars in your Eyes) by 1electricpirate (49k, 7 works, incomplete) 🐺
Containing scenes from an experiment – perhaps the greatest of all. After all, Sherlock is a bonded Omega ... and maybe some urges are about more than biology, anyway.
The Horse and Carriage series by flawedamythyst (60k, 14 works, complete)
What Tomorrow Will Bring series by addicted2hugh (28k, 3 works, incomplete)

There's fake relationship, for a case. Fake parenting too, only that part's not so fake after the first thirty seconds or so, and while the relationship stays fake for a while longer, we all know how these things go. Mycroft is a good, if meddling, brother. Lestrade is somehow just as much of a good brother, though his meddling is more of the take-no-BS variety than the deus-ex sort. And as all the best Sherlockian fics must, it ends with bees.
And that's before we even get to the siren's call that is "garridebs." Few Johnlock fans can resist its lure.
Aside from all that, this fic does the less tropey but somehow more commendable (and rare!) work of finding a way to start a John/Sherlock romantic relationship after all the events of the show that still makes sense in light of those events , and at the same time doesn't have this static ending where they've nothing left to accomplish character-wise. Because while our Baker-Street boys have both matured enough for a romantic relationship to make sense, that doesn't mean there's not still room for them to grow into each other. The past shaped them and is addressed, but it doesn't weigh the fic down.
Seriously, go and read the thing.
