Summary
The world has finally caught up to what John has always known - Sherlock Holmes is extraordinary. A hero. Admirers flock to him, strangers sing his praises, and John knows it’s only a matter of time before Sherlock realizes he belongs to something bigger than the life they’ve built together.
Sherlock doesn’t see it that way. He doesn’t trust public adoration, doesn’t believe the world’s sudden love for him will last. The only opinion that matters to him is John’s. And when John finally understands that - really understands it - he realizes he doesn’t have to lose Sherlock at all.
He just has to be brave enough to keep him.
(Or: The world falls in love with Sherlock Holmes, but Sherlock Holmes was in love with John Watson all along.)

Summary
Sherlock sketching John on a boring, rainy afternoon.
This was written for a prompt on BBC Sherlock’s Make Me a Monday. The prompt was Sherlock as his famous artist relative painting John, who was a French soldier. That didn’t really strike a cord with me, but what did was the idea of present day Sherlock sketching John on a boring afternoon. The prompt is: Prompt from Rachelindeed on The Game is On’s Make Me a Monday #59: “I would love to see a story that casts Sherlock as Vernet and John as a soldier he paints, either in Paris or in the Crimea or both.” I didn’t exactly do that but I hope she likes it.

The Power of the Spider by Jobooksandcoffee for i_am_just_reading

Summary
After many years managing the ranch he shares with his younger brother Thomas, and a year working with his best friend and right hand man John, Will received the shocking news of Thomas’s marriage to Daisy. Her son, Jim, comes to spend the summer on the ranch. The young man appears to have an interest in learning how to be a Cowboy. Jim also has a clear interest in Will. John, however, suspects a darker motive for the boy’s actions. Will is not a man to accept “protection”. What is in store for John?
This story is a fix-it for the ending of The Power of the Dog. With Sherlock as Will and the introduction of John Watson as his best friend. Having a friend, somebody to love, could have saved Phil from himself, from his behaviour and his pain. In this story, Will has a person who loves him and looks out for him. Here, they will have a happy ending.Bookmarked by Romiss

Summary
These differences between British and American terminology and culture below are all ones I have seen in Sherlock fic or that are likely to come up in Sherlock fic. It is not exhaustive and I know that I will think of or spot at least 10 more as soon as I post this, but it is a start. If you have read fic set in America written by a Brit you will know that these things jar and spoil the flow quite a lot, so here you go.

Summary
In which Sherlock's death is announced a bit... prematurely in HLV. Things spiral from there.
__“Sit, Dr. Watson. I beg of you. I’ll get you some water and then I’d be happy to take you to him so you can say goodbye.”
“Ah. Mm. No. No. It’s not possible, all right? It’s Sherlock. Sherlock. I already… I already…"
I already suffered this once. This time, it’ll kill me.
“Is there anyone we can call for–”
But John was no longer listening. He was walking. Fast; in strides as long as his legs could manage. Away from Dr. Fredericks. Far from the A&E waiting area. Toward the grand glass entryway. Shouts followed him as he went – requests for him to come back, to sit down, to listen. They faded in volume the farther John’s feet carried him and dissipated entirely as soon as the automatic doors slid shut.

With hindsight, it was all so painfully inevitable.
Too often, for Watson, the past is near enough to touch.

While Sherlock’s recovering from being shot, John has to work out what the hell happened. Why did Mary turn up in his clinic in the first place? Why is Sherlock lying about her “surgical” shot? Why is Mycroft protecting Magnussen? For that matter, what's to be done about Magnussen?
Since John can’t trust any of them to tell him the truth, he’ll have to play them all against each other.- Language:

Now is not the time to say something.
But if he wants me…
Now is the very worst time to say something.
Now is also the very last time to say something.
Last chance. Now or fucking never. Make up your mind, Holmes.

Snatches of Johnlock life
I'm autistic, I relate to Sherlock as an autistic character. It's gonna be okay everyone.
These can all stand alone, though it probably makes a touch more sense to read them in order.
Heed the tags, there is some mature and explicit material to be found here :)

Summary
On the eve of the day in which the divide between the spirit world and the Earth becomes thinnest, Captain John Watson is intent on making sure that no Demons will make it past the gate. The village of Baker is heavily fortified, a veritable fortress against the evils that are scheduled to arrive: Nightmarish monsters come to life with only the intent of tormenting innocent life. John hates all the Demons that feed off of his people.
On the other side in the spirit world, Sherlock is an Incubus that faces a serious problem: He does not feel sexual attraction. Rather, he finds the entire process of sex tedious, mortals annoying, his bodily needs at once vaguely distressing and inconvenient. Faced with a need to eat after denying himself for nearly a year, Sherlock does not expect himself to take interest in another Demon's prey, of all things.

Summary
After getting injured on a case, Sherlock wakes with no memory of the last ten years of his life. He's left in the care of one John Watson - his flatmate, apparently - and is forced to navigate the life of a stranger, discovering things about his current self that leave him feeling off-kilter and very much alone. Luckily, John is there to see him through it.
