5 Times John saved a Packmate & 1 Time his mate saved him by (Anonymous) AraSigyrn
Werewolf!Watson
A Study in Winning by (Anonymous)
Tennis AU with John and Sherlock as rival tennis players. It's Wimbledon. John is Britain's best hope of a win (and given that he's over thirty and recently had problems with both his shoulder and his leg those hopes really aren't that high)
Sherlock is a great player but unpopular with the crowds, partly because of his apparently arrogant attitude, and partly because he's mostly English but because he trained in France thanks to his grandmother taking a keen interest in him, that's the nationality he plays under (the traitor!)
The Letter of the Lore by (Anonymous)
Since Sherlock is so interesting in appearance, so odd and dark in temperament, so attuned to death... What if he had a fairy in his bloodline. Not a fairy like the Disney sort. No, the faeries of old legend.
On the Necessity of Endings by: (Anonymous)
I'd like to see paranoid, panicky, possessive Sherlock doing his best to stamp a virtual MINE sign on John: hickeys, wearing John's jumpers, having him wear Sherlock's scarf, buying matching watches/rings/bracelets, significant touching...
Shadows on the Wall by: Anonymous AraSigyrn
John came back from Afghanistan psychic.
Being Sherlock Series by argyle4eva
A somewhat cracked-out urban fantasy AU of "Sherlock" in which Vampire!Sherlock and Werewolf!John fight crime (mundane and supernatural) and find true love (with each other, of course). Despite the name, this 'verse isn't identical with the Being Human universe in its rules and setup, but really, how could I resist that title?
The Khyber Knife by ariadnes_string
Summary: Did this mean he’d resolved his trust issues, John wondered vaguely, that he trusted Sherlock not to hurt him? He doubted it. The truth was probably far worse: that he wouldn’t care if Sherlock did.
B
The Autumn Moon is Bright by barrowjane
John has two secrets he keeps from Sherlock - he manages this, he thinks, only because Sherlock would find the idea that John is attracted to him just as unlikely as the idea of John being a werewolf. He's not sure what it says about his life, that love and lycanthropy are considered equally impossible events.
Light Our Own Firesby BlackEyedGirl
Sherlock won't give up looking for Moriarty; John is losing patience. Neither of them are coping as well as they would like. Post for 1.03, more details in notes.
Apologies for Large Feet by BlackEyedGirl
Sherlock can see his way through most problems in a single glance. John is something of an anomaly.
The Republic of Heaven (PG-13 - NC-17) WIP by blind_author
His Dark Materials AU. John and his dæmon, Amarisa, have never quite fit in, largely because she settled as a wolfdog. Sherlock and Raniel are similarly isolated, mostly because the woman they call Mummy is a witch. These two men and their dæmons end up sharing a flat together and the rest, as they say, is history. And with a witch-clan out for John's blood and a man known as Moriarty emerging from the shadows, they're certainly not going to be bored. Slash, eventual Sherlock/John.
Faerie-Touched, Part One blind_author
AU. In a world of sorcerers and magic, Sherlock is a Faerie-born and John, lacking any kind of magical talent, often seems a bit out of place. But he has a gift all his own.

Space Travel By candle_beck
The night the aliens came was the first time John understood the extent of his predicament.
NOT CRACK
Make Whole What Has Been Smashed by Charli J (gigantic)
"Don't look that way, John. Blank stares are already a dreadful reminder of how hopeless other people are," Sherlock said.
"Since most people aren't maintaining a home with Merlin living backwards, I think I'm doing alright at going with it so far," John said.
Delayed reaction by cj_ludd18
In which John Watson suffers under the delusion that he's only gay after that third vodka martini, and is proven wrong in the best way possible. (i. e. sex.)
The characters are a little OOC but it is still an entertaining read.
The Only Emperor by coloredink
It never occured to Sherlock Holmes that an ice cream shop might attract children.

Sherlock and John take a holiday to Dartmoor. After all, going on holiday doesn't mean you can't also take the time to investigate a murder, at least according to the world's only consulting detective.

Sic Gorgiamus Allos Subjectatos Nunc by: etothepii
Summary: "Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc. It's the family motto." "What does it mean?" "We gladly feast on those who would subdue us." Notes: Crossover with The Addams Family.
SOUNDS LIKE CRACK BUT ISN’T!
Show Me How to Stop Running by: etothepii
Summary: John gets turned into a werewolf during Afghanistan, and it sucks, but then he moves in with another werewolf, and it gets better.
Your Moral Crisis is Stupid by: etothepii
Sherlock is asexual. John is not. Possibly, Sherlock should have told him this before they had sex.
everything you won't tell me (is mapped in your scars) by: etothepii
It's never felt like this before, like wanting to say, “I'd rather not, but if you wanted, I'd get on my knees for you.” Because John is a dom, and Sherlock is a dom, and John wants him anyways. Except, one of these things is not quite true.
This is a series but the only John/Sherlock is the last one. I recommend reading them all.
It Feels like Home when I'm With You Author: etothepii
Summary: John still gets nightmares about Afghanistan. That's the worst part of it all, he thinks -- he still has dreams about sand and drowning to death in his own blood. But they're more memory than nightmare.
Asteroidea, Highly Intelligent, Observant, and Destructive When Bored and Feels Like Drowning by: etothepii
In the pocket of his trousers, next to his phone, Mycroft carries the standard-issue steel capsule meant for protecting arthropod daemons. When people ask about it, he smiles and tells them she's not fond of the light, or of people other than himself. This is a lie.

Sherlock and John are BNFs in Sherlock Holmes fandom. Together, they fight crime. (Always.) And write porn, incidentally.
Human For A While by fengirl88
John comes home from a trip to the seaside with a pale-eyed young man in tow. Sherlock is tall, brilliant, and strangely sad, and seems incapable of leaving John's side. One day John brings a seal skin to Harry's house and makes her promise to hide it, and that she will never, ever tell Sherlock where it is.
Horse And Carriage Series by flawedamythyst

K
Symmetrical, Unbroken by: knkwrtr
Sherlock is intersexed and identifies himself as a man. His ambiguous genitalia and the history of his sexuality and identity are what have kept him from being close to people romantically, particularly John. John finds out or is told, and it really is all fine.

Practical Angora Goat Raising by lavvyan
John loves sex. Sherlock doesn't.
Traffic Lights for the Colour Blind by lavvyan
In which it's not the war John is missing, Sherlock needs to find new ways to hang on to his flatmate, and Moriarty tries to get himself a pet of his own. Features also: guns, tea, the reason Sherlock Holmes won't take the tube, cell phones, a budgie, and one obnoxious older brother
Are We Now or Have We Ever Been by lc2l
'You know that scene in the Blind Baker, the one where Sherlock asks John out on a date? Well, between that and Sherlock introducing John as his "friend" I'm convinced Sherlock is aware of his feelings for John and actually was asking him out on a date. So I'd love some oblivious John and frustrated Sherlock.'

Telekinetic!John with optional telepathic Sherlock.
The Detective by
lotherington (and it's sequel : The Companion)
The Detective was nine hundred and seven years and eleven months old when he went back for John Watson. He’d never planned to crash-land in John’s back garden in the middle of the night, but then, who ever planned for such a silly thing to happen in the first place? John and The Detective go off to see the universe. It changes them both for the better.

Brilliant and Commonplace by: redconverse
Done for the kinkmeme back on part *coughonecough*. Original prompt is here and read, "If someone could write me anything involving transgenderism/gender ambiguity/etc., I'd ♥ them forever." John's been comfortably heterosexual for years--at least if you don't count the years he rounded himself off to 'Lesbian Daughter #2," which he doesn't. All that gets a bit muddied up when he's living with a suddenly-amorous consulting detective.

Those Pages By:
s0mmerspr0ssen
John Watson, a homeless ex-serviceman, loves warming up at the nearest library when it's especially cold outside. Sherlock Holmes, newly hired librarian, is not amused by grubby homeless men invading his realm.
Chow Mein, Deductions and Realisations bystarjenni
Sherlock and John go out to dinner together, Sherlock amuses himself (and John) by deducing embarrassing and/or immoral details of the relationships between people at other tables. One night, though, John points to a couple that turns out to be sickeningly in love, faithful, completely happy together - boring, in other words, expect that as Sherlock deduces things he realizes that the tells he is describing also describe he and John. Super bonus points if they aren't together and John makes the connection before Sherlock does.
