Fic: Horse and Carriage, by flawedamythyst (Sherlock BBC)
A John-and-Sherlock-get-married fic.
In this one, Sherlock proposes because John's in hospital and Sherlock had to get Mycroft to help him get in to see him. He decides that being married to John would guarantee him the chance to visit if such a situation occurred again. Sherlock is asexual, and willing (if must be) to allow John to continue to see women - but he really feels that marriage would be a good thing for them. And as John finds out, so does everyone else.
So he hesitantly agrees to marry Sherlock, and finds that their relationship becomes more comfortable, with little touches of physical affection. And while John occasionally tries to date women, Sherlock manages to interrupt - in one case causing the woman to throw wine at John when Sherlock introduced himself to her as his husband.
Excerpt:
“Sherlock,” he said tiredly. “Tell me - why do you really want to do this? I can't believe you care about our taxes.”
Sherlock paused in the doorway but didn't look back. “I had to call Mycroft, John,” he said in a low voice. John winced. He knew how little Sherlock liked relying on his brother for anything. “Just to see you.” He put his hand on the door and added, in an even quieter voice. “And I don't want you to leave me.”

Ongoing series - sequels so far include:
Touch and Feel - set a couple of months after Horse and Carriage, and features Sherlock and John investigating the case of a murdered woman and her missing daughter.
Respect and Affection - a sweet Christmas-mistletoe-kiss and offer-to-share-a-bed (platonically) ficlet.
Crime and Commitment, which covers three crime scenes during the next five years, Lestrade and Co. learn of the marriage, Sherlock remembers their anniversaries, and John realizes that this marriage was the best idea Sherlock ever had.
Exhaustion and Gratitude, set several years after the first story. Just a bit of cute.
