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/John (explicit). First time. Canon. Hurt/comfort. TRF aftermath.
Sherlock disregards social cues and oversteps boundaries all the time, every day. During interviews with clients, during working with the Yard. Hell, even going for a walk through the park or going out for dinner. John has long since become used to it, but that still doesn’t mean he wants to think about what kind of damage Sherlock would be capable of inflicting in the privacy of his bedroom. Mostly because John can’t imagine there being anything Sherlock wouldn’t do.

He should probably move out of the flat. Make a clean break. Start afresh across the city, where there weren’t reminders everywhere. But he knew it wouldn’t make a difference. The first time he heard “Behind Blue Eyes” left him a trembling mess of nerveless limbs and wet skin.
Besides, there was a homeless person on his doorstep.

“Sherlock, if you think I’m going to spend another Christmas watching Harry get drunk when I’ve been presented with an alternate plan which sounds as if it could feature in a Doctor Who special, you actually are an idiot.” He shrugged. “Besides, letting you out of my sight tends to go badly for both of us.”

Sherlock/John (explicit). First time. Canon. Torture. Hurt/comfort. TRF aftermath.
When Sherlock goes underground to track down the gunmen, he doesn’t do it alone. Unfortunately, Moriarty’s operatives aren’t exactly helpless, and when John ends up in the line of fire – again – the ensuing events turn Sherlock’s world inside out in ways he might not ever be able to come back from.

“What the hell are you doing in Norbury?”
Grimly, John realizes exactly what the hell he’s doing in Norbury as everything in his head finally slots into place. “That fucking wanker sent me here. The bloody prick did it to me again. He knew it was something to do with Mycroft and he sent me away to keep me safe. I’m going to find him and then kill him with my bare fucking hands.”

They don’t talk about it, this distance, and Sherlock swallows down every response he’s thought of to each of John’s bland smiles and accepts it as his due. They soldier on, neither saying a word but circling each other like lions staking out territory until one night, a month after his return, it all goes to hell.

John is a mess. Sherlock can’t fix him, but he tries. That’s good enough, John thinks.

John Watson has been bonded by blood to Sherlock Holmes. Until the day Sherlock dies, they will be tied together. Until the day Sherlock dies, John can’t.

Sherlock/John (non-explicit). First time. Canon. Character focus. Vacation. TRF aftermath.
Spain was humid, more so than anything John had ever felt in London, and the air was thick with salt. Their tiny suite of rooms on the top floor of the hotel was heavy with it. They kept the windows open to let in the strong breezes and the sounds of the ocean. Post-Reichenbach.

John will do anything to bring Sherlock back from the dead. He’ll call the devil himself.

Sherlock + John. Friendship/pre-slash. Canon. Hurt/comfort. TRF aftermath.
John Watson faints for the first and last time in his life when he fetches the prescription from the printer and turns back to find his elderly heart patient has transformed into Sherlock Holmes. It’s a brief lapse, and Sherlock is suitably chastened by his unnecessarily dramatic return. But really, Sherlock’s been dead for 18 months, so any return is necessarily going to be dramatic.

But the thing is, you see: John Watson’s not an idiot. He can see the signs.
John Watson knows the difference between the improbable and the impossible. He can see inside the space between hope and despair. And John Watson knows when the Game’s been won, or lost—when it’s over either way—and when there are still moves left to be made before the finish.

“One contact,” Sherlock tells him. “Moriarty’s hidden face: organized, efficient, deadly. If Moriarty was the thought, this man was the action, the back-up plan for Moriarty’s back-up plans, his—his fixer, John. And I had two solid leads, but now they’re not pointing in the same direction.”

He drags his eyes open when he feels John’s thumb run along a jagged, poorly healed scar along his hip. He does not remember how he got it, only that it happened about a year after he left. In Gdańsk, possibly. Or Zurich. One of those. He had stitched it up himself with shaking hands in a dimly lit hotel bathroom, sweating and gritting his teeth and aching to go home.
