Summary
Sherlock Holmes was nineteen when he decided he'd had enough. Uni was dull, his family smothering, cocaine too expensive after his trust fund was cut. There was no utility in pursuing a degree in Chemistry, not when he was so good at stealing cars and could make his own money. He had no reason to stay. So he left.
John Watson was nineteen when his absent mother dumped on him her last daughter. She disappeared (again) while his father drank himself numb every night (typical). With six younger siblings to take care of, uni was an impossible dream. They had no one except for him. So he stayed.
Or: how Sherlock escaped from his family, John sacrificed everything to his, and how, together, they built their own.

Summary
For John Watson, Christmas has always come with the familiar dread of loneliness. Leaving behind a house filled with anger and wine-stained memories, he finds himself in a present still haunted by the ghosts of his past. But then Sherlock Holmes falls into his life - brilliant, chaotic, turning his whole world upside down - and for the first time, there’s a chance that things might finally be alright. Well, if only it could be that easy, for once.
Or: Five times John has a terrible Christmas, and one time he finally has a great one.

Summary
John Watson loves weddings. He's been to 27 in total and has the tuxes to prove it. But now, on wedding number 28 it's his turn to serve his younger sister as her Man of Honour, only... John is hopelessly in love with his sister's would-be wife.
The cynical Sherlock Holmes is a writer with hopes of becoming an investigative journalist, unfortunately his eye for style and talent for writing romantic dribbles lands him in the style section writing the commitments column for his older brother's newspaper company. Wishing to break out of that industry Sherlock searches ceaselessly for ways to expose the wedding industry for the sham he believes it to be.
This is a version of 27 dresses but with Johnlock. The first few Chapters are really similar to the film but I tore it away a bit more by adding some Sherlockian elements in the later chapters.Bookmarked by Veganbookworm
