Summary
It’s 1866. John Watson is a former army doctor who served in India. He left the service after a mysterious traumatic incident and has been farming in the backwoods of Canada. Sherlock Holmes is an avid botanist and possible hysteric who is a very loud thorn in his brother Mycroft’s side.
Since Mycroft wishes to run for Parliament during the first Canadian election, he knows he needs his troublesome younger brother out of their hometown of Carleton before he can precipitate any scandal—and what better place for a botanist than a backwoods farm? Especially when it’s run by someone who just might be able to treat Sherlock’s hysteria?(Aka Red writes a m/m pioneer romance novel, complete with extra!virgin!Sherlock, rugged farmer in linen shirts!John and judgmental lesbian goats.)

Summary
On paper, a bacon sarnie and a cup of good coffee isn’t exactly the kind of thanks one should receive for rescuing someone’s family member from an overdose.
Lestrade thinks that it’s possibly the best one he’s ever received.

Summary
"There was, however, one thing that made it easier to stay on his piano bench every day. One thing that kept John Watson showing up to class on time, every morning at ten with a large thermos of honeyed tea and a conviction to see a job well done. His name was Sherlock Holmes and he was the most confounding and extraordinary thing John had ever come across - the most exotic of birds and the most unattainable of men."

Summary
Three weeks ago, Mycroft Holmes picked Lestrade up outside New Scotland Yard and made him an offer he'd been unable to refuse, despite his best judgement. Mycroft had sucked his cock, dropped him off at home, and Lestrade hadn't heard a word from him since.
Now, the door of the black car swung open as Lestrade drew level with it. He could just see Mycroft's profile, hawkish nose and shallow chin limned by the orange glow of the streetlight.

Summary
"I am selfish, willful and astonishingly possessive. My moods are mercurial at the best of times. I understand that for others, this can be difficult to bear. There will be days I can’t stand to be touched and days I won’t let you leave my bed. But I will never not want you. Never again. You have to know that now, John, before we begin. If you let me have you, I will need you always."

Summary
Both Holmes and I had a weakness for the Turkish bath. It was over a smoke in the pleasant lassitude of the drying-room that I have found him less reticent and more human than anywhere else. On the upper floor of the Northumberland Avenue establishment there is an isolated corner where two couches lie side by side...
- The Illustrious Client (1924)
“But why Turkish?” asked Mr. Sherlock Holmes. [...] "Why the relaxing and expensive Turkish rather than the invigorating home-made article?”
- Lady Frances Carfax (1911)
There are good reasons.

Summary
As John watched, Sherlock raised a pale hand, a still-smoldering cigarette balanced delicately between two of his long, elegant fingers. Barely daring to breathe, John watched as Sherlock’s sinfully full lips parted to accept the slim white stick before the tip flared suddenly red and Sherlock’s chest expanded with the acrid smoke. Not breaking eye contact, Sherlock tipped his head back slightly and exhaled a slow stream of grey, flicking the end of his cigarette with a neat thumbnail before quirking the edge of his lips up in an undeniable smirk.

The Reawakening of John Watson by 221b_careful_what_you_wish_for

Summary
Trying to escape his troubled past in England, John Watson has started a new life in the American West. When he meets the handsome artist Sherlock Holmes, a smoldering attraction is sparked, complicating his quiet, carefully guarded existence. Maybe taking a risk with Sherlock is exactly what John needs to feel alive again...
(This story is set in the late 1800s in the West, but it's not a traditional Western. The setting provides a rich background as the boys work their way through a number of challenges, ending up as we know them back at Baker Street in Victorian London. It has a little bit of everything in it -- sexual tension, sensual Sherlock, a bit of fluff, some angst, delicious erotica (peaches! bearded John! Walt Whitman poetry!)... lots of goodies.)

Based on a prompt : "Johnlock necessary bed sharing and one has a wet dream and the other catches them"
A hotel room. They’re here for a case, hadn’t planned to spend the night and ended up sharing a room. No, sharing a bed. Suddenly John is very much aware of his own hand closed around his hard cock and the ragged breathing next to him. Closing his eyes for the briefest second, John dares to turn his head just enough to confirm what he already knows.
Sherlock, on his side, watching him.

John is very very drunk. Sherlock is not. John's mouth, fists and brain run away with him.
Well, they're very pretty, both of them. And the joy of drunkenness leads to several confessions.

Summary
“Sherlock,” John continues, careful and quiet. “I’ve seen your back. I know you were hurt. I don’t want to pry, I don’t want to cause you discomfort but...I’m starting to think something else happened there. In Serbia.”
Sherlock rolls away and sits up on the edge of the bed, his back to John.
“A great many things happened in Serbia,” he says, flat and remote. “None of them were pleasant.”
