The Missing Piece by suitesamba

Summary
After Sherlock’s suicide, John struggles to understand exactly what Sherlock was to him, and why he is mourning so deeply and wholly. He accepts help from an unwanted source, and in time is able to reconcile his feelings and move on to love again - just in time for Sherlock to reappear, awakening in John all the old feelings, but this time, the missing piece of the puzzle as well, the one he’d been unconsciously suppressing before the fall. To complicate matters, he’s got a relationship that’s actually working, a wedding to plan, a bright future ahead of him rather like the one he dreamed of before Afghanistan. Before Sherlock.
John has learned a lot about love in the years Sherlock’s been gone. The question is - how much has Sherlock learned?

Summary
I put my violin and bow away, and then turn around and say, "John, it's time we discussed your desire to have sex with me." I'm pleased by the look of shock on his face, and even more pleased by the way he grips the legs of his trousers when I take off my dressing gown, and let it slither off my arms as I step towards him, my eyes never leaving his.

Summary
John comes back to Baker Street on a rainy Wednesday in January.
Is he crazy, being here? Trying to put them back together? Is it even possible? Why does he even want this, with someone who’s hurt him this badly?
He wants to feel whole again.
Maybe that’s not achievable.
But fuck, he wants to try.

34 Rules and Two Addendums: Not Gay by scuttlesworth

Summary
John starts a list. It's only in his head, of course; if you write something down in the flat, it immediately ceases to be private, even if you password protect the file and name it something completely innocuous like "taxes". So this is the list of Not Gay he keeps in his head.

Summary
Sherlock hates spending Christmas with his snobby parents. John has nowhere to go over the holidays. The heat in 221B is broken and their fridge is empty. Plus, Sherlock's parents will hate John.
So of course Sherlock takes John along.
It's not his fault that his parents assume John's his boyfriend. Of course John is perfect and all, but Sherlock doesn't do romance. So what harm can there be in pretending, if it makes his parents this mad?Series

Summary
After Sherlock unceremoniously returns from the dead, John finds himself inexplicably angry all the time. So he does what any emotionally-constipated British man does: he joins a Mixed Martial Arts gym. As John throws himself into the sport and joins in on underground no-holds-barred brawls, situations arise that just might force John to face what is really going on underneath all the rage.

Summary
"You want me to wear lingerie?" Sherlock asks after a couple of seconds of silence, making sure he understands that's precisely what John is suggesting. "Specifically… lingerie meant for a woman?"
John wets his lips, swallows and then nods, looking directly at him, his face bright red. "Yeah."
"Oh."
;
Or in which John becomes interested in Sherlock wearing lingerie for him, and Sherlock does precisely that.

Summary
“Masturbation isn’t about stress, it’s about eliminating the needs of my transport so my brain can function again.” Sherlock twisted to glare balefully at John over his shoulder. “A five-minute wank isn’t going to solve it.”
“So do an hour-long wank instead,” John countered. “Go on; have fun.”
“How could it possibly take you an entire hour?” Sherlock asked, looking thoroughly bewildered. “Surely you’re not that inefficient!”

Cockaigne (n) \kä; ‘kān\ : an imaginary land of great luxury and ease
When John’s contacted by an old uni friend about problems in his new art exhibition, he doesn’t think it will be worth Sherlock’s time. After a glance of the crime scene, however, they’re both pulled into the project in ways John didn’t expect. Will a week of erotic performance art finally be enough to bring them together in the way they both secretly hope? (Spoiler: it’s a tropey fic, of course it will)

Summary
A picture's proverbially worth a thousand words and frequently inspires them, though sometimes the words are many more or many fewer, as per the Muse's whim. Thank you to all the artists who do fanworks: they are a constant inspiration.
I'll add ficlets whenever an artist gives me permission to use their creation that way, and either include the original or link to it.

Summary
When his friend dragged him to a club one night, John Watson was not expecting to meet someone like Sherlock Holmes, let alone go home with him. He definitely was not expecting to wake up the next day to find a sudden storm had blanketed London with snow, preventing him leaving, and forcing him to stay with his one night stand until the snow stopped and the streets cleared.
