Sherlock/John (explicit). Established. Canon. Character focus. TRF aftermath.
John wonders if this is how it’s going to be: A life speaking in code, because they’re both too stupid to figure out how to say, “I love you.”

Sherlock predicts nectar flow the same way he deduces a murder, but he harvests the honey like John coddles the dog.

Sherlock/John (non-explicit). Established. Canon. Character focus.
‘I don’t love you,’ Sherlock whispers against John’s shoulder, his dark hair curling around the white, stretched skin of John’s scar, the top of his arm. He kisses John’s chest.

“So, are you going to leave me to guess blind at the whole thing, or are you passing up a chance to show off for once?”
Sherlock smiles. “I’ll tell you this much: Vera Spaulding hasn’t been to the police. Take a moment then, and think. Why would she possibly report her employer’s disappearance to a private detective rather than the Yard?”

Your Patron helps define you, your chosen god helps influence the path of your life. Yet John has no Patron Sherlock can see and that niggling itch of a question shoved determinedly to the back of his mind is getting stronger every day.

Sherlock/John (non-explicit). Established. AU. Humour. Swan!Sherlock. Duck!John. Lestrade POV.
The park was an excellent place to live for all manner of creatures, humans included. The swan disliked most humans, despite the fact that they brought bread and chips, because they were bright and loud and behaved like the territory was theirs instead of his. He made the papers after beating a man named Anderson (aged thirty-eight, possessed of a very loud, annoying phone) in the face, giving the man two black eyes and a broken nose and breaking his phone. The swan was lucky his species was protected.
Battle Stratagem for the Domesticated British Male by what_alchemy [7K]

Sherlock/John (explicit). Established. Canon. Retirement. Hurt/comfort.
“Fuck off, Sherlock,” John snapped, and shoved him away. Sherlock’s head thunked against the wall, and he watched without the luxury of touch as John struggled to a sitting position and covered his eyes with one hand, his left hip with the other. His breath was laboured and contained the fuzzy notes of a wheeze. They passed interminable minutes in that almost-silence until John dropped his hands into his lap and said, lowly, “I don’t think I can move.”

Sherlock/John (non-explicit). Established. Canon. Humor. Marriage proposal.
It became a game. They even took turns making the proposals. Whenever they had enough money to spare, which was just often enough to keep it interesting, they’d go to a new restaurant and finish their meal with one of them asking the other for their hand in marriage — the more extravagant the proposal, the better.

Sherlock/John (explicit). Established. Canon. BDSM (Dom!Sherlock). Hurt/comfort.
“I wish I could do this for you,” Sherlock confesses, and it has to be enough.
John tugs Sherlock by his shirt, pulls their mouths together with a sigh and buries his hand in Sherlock’s hair.
“Save me,” John whispers over and over between kisses and bites, not because Sherlock can, but because he wants to, and he finds they fit together, like this, rough and desperate and broken.

Sherlock/John (explicit). Established. Canon. Asexuality. Character focus.
These are the things they did not do: kiss. Hold hands. Share the same bed. (It would be impractical anyway.)
These are the things they did do: share meals. Share laughter. Sit slightly too close on the couch, watching terrible films and even worse telly precisely because they were terrible, because Sherlock enjoyed dissecting the flaws and John enjoyed watching him, just watching, with a smile.

He jerked off. Of course he jerked off; he’d go out of his mind if he didn’t get some relief, but it just wasn’t the same, dammit.
He wondered if Sherlock ever got this frustrated. Then he remembered the expression on Sherlock’s face whenever the police – and John – couldn’t follow his deductions, and felt slightly vindicated.

Sherlock/John (non-explicit). Established. Canon. Character focus. Coming out.
There was definitely something disheartening about being surrounded by people who were covered head to toe in protective gear when you were almost naked yourself. John did his best to ignore Sherlock’s angry muttering as he pulled his t-shirt over his head and handed it to the police man next to him.

“What did you—is it arousing, hearing me talk about my day, or something?” His eyes narrowed, and Sherlock’s heart leapt into an unsteady gallop. It was always exciting when John tried to apply Sherlock’s methods. “No, you’ve never cared before. I wasn’t even sure you were listening. It was that last one, the one with the girlfriend that tried to eat him.”

Infiltrate (tear down the walls and the gate) by ladyflowdi [73K]

Sherlock/John (explicit). Established. Canon. Casefic. Action. Torture. D/s (both ways). Hurt/comfort. TGG aftermath. Epic.
This is a moment Sherlock will look back to time and again as the future stalks forward; an instance he will use to justify his actions, the decisions he will make. He’d known Moriarty was working solely for his attention, even John had recognized as much during the first assault. But Sherlock has been a fool, a dangerous, incompetent fool, because this is so far beyond all that. It always has been.
