John the specialest guy ever
Fics I like in which John Watson gets to be the world's specialest guy, whether he
- Atypically, has some sort of superpower
- Is in an unusual (effectively magical) scenario in which empowers him specifically
- Or some secret third thing that fits the vibes in my headI'm very Normal about John Watson by the way.

At Baskerville, John is infected by a virus that turns him into a genius. But when the infection progresses into neurodegeneration, it's a race against time to save himself. Flowers for Algernon fusion.

Summary
When a freak accident occurs, John is surprised to find that the physical effects are not the most difficult part of his recovery, but rather the fact that he seems to be able to hear others' thoughts. It feels like a cosmic injustice that he lives with the person that has the noisiest brain on the planet.

Summary
There are good days, in which time flows normally, new things are new and surprising things are surprising, and there are bad days, in which time flows with an overlap, new things are old and surprising things are cliché. Déjà vu days, sometimes whole weeks or months he’s mostly lived through already.
On those days, every decision John makes feels important.
They probably aren’t.

Summary
They say our dreams are our mind's attempt to make sense of our days. John's dreams seem to be making sense of things that haven't ever happened.
Until those things start to happen anyway.
