The Martian: How to Survive the Red Planet And the Rabid Sherlock at the Same Time (Ended And Revised Now) by ShelleyY
Fandoms: Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms, The Martian - Andy Weir, Sherlock (BBC TV 2010)

Summary
Let me get this straight: I was just an average American military doctor who was fortunately selected by NASA to be a Mars-bound astronaut, for I had a bachelor’s degree in Plant Biology and Conservation and a medical doctorate, plain and simple — no fancy extras.
But my mission partner, called Sherlock Holmes was a British nobleman with three PhD degrees: Physical Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, and Computer Science.
Cue an unusually catastrophic sandstorm and the subsequent devastating explosion, and suddenly we were both stranded on this red rock, which meant I had to put up with the most intelligent yet most intolerable person I had ever met at all times!
I think it could all boil down to Mycroft’s fault!
Oh, did I forget to mention? Mycroft Holmes, the Earl, was Sherlock Holmes’s brother. You know, the guy who always dressed like the British government in human form. He spoke to Sherlock as if he were a judge sending his own brother into exile.
Could you imagine any normal older brother talking like that to his younger brother before a dangerous mission?
His exact valediction?

The Body Remembers by CodenameDeath
Fandoms: Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms, Sherlock (BBC TV 2010)
04 May 2026
Tags
Summary
Sherlock hits his head during a chase and wakes up with no memory of the last two years — no memory of 221B, no memory of cases, and no memory of John.
The someone has hands. The hands are on his head. They are doing something, pressing, assessing, checking something at the base of his skull.
The hands are warm and they are not unpleasant, which is strange, because hands on him are almost always unpleasant.
His body has not flinched. His body is, in fact, slack in a way that suggests it has already made a decision about these hands that his brain has not caught up to.-

Summary
John and Mycroft had only let Sherlock out of there sight for just a moment but something horrible clearly happened during that time.
Now John and Mycroft are left to wonder what exactly did happen... And if Sherlock will ever recover from it.⚠️ IMPORTANT! ⚠️
Hey, reader, just before you go any further I want to give you a quick warning.
This story is going to deal with some pretty dark stuff, especially when it comes to suicide. This will include discussions of suicide, scenes of attempted suicide, depictions of suicidal thoughts, mentions of past suicides, and scenes of main characters committing suicide (the last one is only in a dream, so no none of the main characters actually die dies, but still.)
If you are at all sensitive to depictions of suicide than please skip this.Also! The rating is not for sex, this is purely about disturbing content. So wether that's a negative or a positive for you, just keep it in mind.

Summary
A case forces John Watson and Sherlock Holmes into a marriage of convenience in a quiet, rain-soaked village. What begins as strategy slowly unravels into something far more dangerous—something real.

Sherlock chose this long before he realised it.
John is still pretending he hasn’t.-

Summary
A series of minor vandalism events shouldn't be enough to interest THE Sherlock Holmes - different neighbourhoods and clearly unrelated. Or so John thought.
When events take a hateful turn, resonating with Sherlock much more than John originally thought, he and the detective become the center of one of the most sickening hate crimes to take place in London... In more ways than one.
Memories resurface, along with familiar, and mostly unwelcome faces, forcing John and Sherlock into a chapter of their relationship they never thought they would enter into.
Even if it’s just "for the case"

This alternative universe follows John as he and Sherlock work to hunt those who seek to harm the ones they love. In the process who knows, they may even save each other.

Summary
“This was like nothing John had ever thought to associate with Sherlock: stubble, skin-tight jeans and three small silver rings gleaming at the crest of one ear. It was unbelievable, like stepping into an alternative universe, and John couldn't stop staring.”
When Sherlock infiltrates a club in order to track down a serial killer, his altered appearance is enough to make John question his assumption that Sherlock is beyond his reach. However, is he the only one who appreciates his flatmate's charms, or is Sherlock at risk of becoming the next victim? (Warning: reviews may contain fic spoilers)

Summary
—But you are asexual!
—That does not mean I am also aromantic — John said, exasperated—. I'm not interested in having sex, that's all. But it would be nice to have someone by my side, someone to talk to and share my experiences with. Someone to hug me, kiss me, snuggle with me on the couch, and hold my hand during a walk in the countryside — he said in a dreamy voice. When he saw Mike's doubtful expression, he gave up on being understood—: I am going to die alone! —he said dramatically before collapsing on the desk.

Summary
One of the first things John did was to write up step-by-step instructions on how to conduct a proper job interview before handing it over to Mycroft for his perusal. There were no kidnapping, deserted car parks or stolen therapy notes anywhere on that list.
(Or the one where John returned from the war and ended up working for Mycroft as his personal assistant slash doctor on retainer. Everything was fine, until he was sent to post bail for one Sherlock Holmes.)
