Summary
John finally convinces Sherlock that he needs sex and that if he keeps sabotaging his love life with women, it'll be a deal-breaker. Sherlock goes through his deductive process and decides that he himself will have to provide John with sex if he's to keep John from marrying and moving out. Unfortunately, Sherlock is an inexperienced seducer and John is totally straight. Sherlock goes to Irene for advice on seduction.

Summary
‘Somewhere between the exhaustion of day and the brink of sleep, this has always been there. Calcifying, with each new sunrise.’
Just when John thinks their brush with Sherlock's past is over, a figure from his teenage years emerges, stirring up more than just memories. The headmaster of Sherlock's old boarding school is in danger, and they should probably do something about that - right? If only they weren't so distracted.
Massively Jealous John, and as always, a patient Sherlock. Past traumas, feelings and a mostly happy ending.

Summary
Sherlock’s mind goes exceedingly, devastatingly quiet and gray-blank. When he speaks it’s through a thick haze, it’s through molasses, he’s so disconnected from the words that it may as well be the unconscious shooter speaking.
“It was only a twenty-two,” he says, voice unfeeling and unwavering, as though that makes any sense at all.

Summary
In the years after Vivian Norbury's capture, life seems to work out just as John planned. He's got that respectable job at the surgery and goes home to his wife and child. He joins Sherlock on cases a couple times per week. It's a rhythm he can live with - just enough adrenaline highs to balance out the drudgery of a normal bloke's life.
Until a pandemic, and Victor Trevor, arrive in London.

Summary
“I find myself in need of companionship. Romantic companionship to be precise.”
John’s eyebrows shoot up. “What?”
“While it doesn’t happen often, occasionally even my transport needs affection, as annoying as that is to admit. Perhaps I’ll do what you do and find someone to warm my bed.”
“Whoa—Sherlock, you can’t just go trolling for anyone. You’re not like that.”
“Not like what, John? Human? Male?”
“Well, of course that’s not what I--. I just meant, you’re like, you’re like a thoroughbred racehorse, yeah? High spirited, sleek, proud, and damn finicky. You can’t just pick someone up in a pub or whatever. You’re special.”
“Hmm.” Sherlock turns away to hide the flush of warmth to his cheeks at John’s description of him. He grabs his coat and scarf from the coat rack. Donning them with a dramatic flourish, he says, “Of course not. I’ll do my research first, perhaps use one of those online hookup services. Pick somebody and meet up.”
John looks slightly ill. “What, like Tinder? Or—or Grindr?”
“Whatever. Anyway, I’ll see you tonight…or perhaps I won’t. Perhaps I’ll get lucky right out of the gate, as it were, being the thoroughbred that I am,” he deadpans. “Don’t wait up.”Bookmarked by raqges

Summary
“John.” John’s head whipped around at the sound of his name. He walked towards the hallway where he saw Sherlock’s door cracked open, his room dark. Sherlock had a habit of talking to John when he wasn’t there. Guess the same goes for when he’s asleep. John shook his head with a smirk and went to close the door.
John’s eyes nearly fell out of his head when he peaked into his room. Sherlock was definitely not asleep. His pale skin glowed in the moonlight, naked on all fours across the center of his bed, back to the door, with a dildo in his ass.
John's world fell apart when he watched Sherlock jump from Bart's. But just went he was beginning to get on his feet Sherlock comes back and everything goes upside down again, forcing John to truly ask himself what he wants. Who he wants?

Summary
John had stopped mistaking strangers for Sherlock in the second year following his death. In fact, he was ready to move on, with Mary. But then he glimpses someone at a pivotal moment, and it changes his life once more.
What if the circumstances of Sherlock's return had been less volatile for John? What if John had realized that marrying Mary would be a mistake, the easy path rather than the right one? This is a story of altered circumstances, timing, and a very helpful Mycroft.

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.
