The Case of the Lonely Doctor by Thorntonsheart for Enterthetadpole
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV)
31 Jan 2021
Tags
Summary
“Perhaps I could help somehow?” Sherlock offers hesitantly, needing to be able to do something, to solve something.
“Find me a suitable girlfriend?” John jokes bitterly.
“I could do that. I’m sure I could design an algorithm that uses data to find you the perfect date.” Sherlock reaches for his notebook and pen, already scribbling down ideas, unaware of John staring incredulously at him. At the sound of John’s mug thunking on the wooden table top Sherlock looks up, raising an eyebrow in query.
“W..what?” John crosses his arms and bites at the inside of his bottom lip, studying Sherlock intently before arriving at a decision. “Oh, what the hell. Go on then."

Summary
There’s a dog. It’s thin and dirty and trapped, the rope around its neck twisted viciously into a knot and then tied to the rail of the steps leading out of one of the buildings lining the alley. It’s an Irish Setter, John sees, and obviously a puppy, and it’s making low, keening growls in that back of its throat, teeth bared. Menacing, despite how tiny and scrawny it is.
“John” Sherlock says.
Oh, hell.

Summary
John Watson didn't bring people home from the pub. Thanks to his night terrors, he was guaranteed to either get violent or wake up completely drenched in sweat; neither of which were ideal in a bed partner. There was also the fact that his miserable bedsit barely had enough room to accommodate him, let alone anyone else.
But that was before he met Sherlock.

A Forest of Memories by OnceSherlock

Summary
“Er, so... by ‘we’, you mean me and...?” John asks. What a weird question. Obviously Sherlock means John and himself. He knows they’re married, so why doesn’t he assume they’re living together? It only clicks after a couple of seconds, but Sherlock feels like his heart is being ripped out of his chest.
“It’s just, I don’t know...”
“It’s okay, John,” Sherlock interrupts with a lump in his throat. “My name is Sherlock. Sherlock Watson. Before we got married, I was Sherlock Holmes.”

Summary
This fic goes canon divergent for everything following Mary acting as a client in His Last Vow. Sherlock misses John. John misses Sherlock. Victor Trevor, Sherlock's oldest friend (and a super nice guy in this version) and participant in the 'great sexual experiment of '98' shows up to cuddle the hell out of a touch-starved Sherlock, get him talking, and get those two idiots back together. He'll work on Mary later. One fucked-up couple at a time is all he can handle.
Complete!

The One Where Greg is Exasperated & Confused, Sally is a Cow and Sherlock is Apparently Married by WhatLocked
Fandoms: Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms
08 Jan 2018
Tags
Summary
When Greg first met Sherlock he was rude, abrupt, acerbic, strung out and practically homeless, and was most certainly not in any way marriage material. This is probably why, when four years later, Sherlock flippantly mentions that he is married, no one believes him.

Summary
It’s possibly the desperation that’s seeped into his voice despite his best intentions, or perhaps it’s just a mother’s intuition, but she knows that whatever he’s calling about is Serious, hangover be damned. “What’s happened?” she asks, tone soft and as comforting as a hot cup of tea on a cold winter’s night.
“Mummy,” he begins, voice catching. “I think John may be moving out.”- Language:

A Little Deducing Merman by gabethegoose
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms, The Little Mermaid - All Media Types
05 Jan 2017
Tags
Summary
"It was a military portrait, with John in a uniform. It seemed like John had tried to look stately, but a bit of a smirk had gotten through the hard expression he had tried to assume. There were medals decorating his breast as well as a single star above them. From Sherlock's research on various militaries, that usually meant a very high rank. Of course Sherlock already knew John was a prince, but John seemed to be a prince of action. Sherlock liked that. To him it even seemed a bit attractive.
Sherlock was surprised at this feeling. He had never felt any attraction to any merpeople or the like. No one ever seemed to amount to his intellect. In their ignorance, they would just brush him off as a freak that was too observant. How could the detective ever find such foolishness attractive?
John, though, had said he was brilliant."
Crossover between A Little Mermaid and Sherlock Holmes (BBC) because why not?
