Johnlock Smut List part 4!

Smut List 1, Smut List 2, Smut List 3, Smut & Fluff

As always, these smut lists have little to no plot, and are often first times & getting together. I’m a sucker for that tension breaking.

John and Sherlock's Kinky First Times by wendymarlowe 250k words spread over 46 stories.

I GOTTA recommend this entire collection! There is a theme or prompt that everyone will like, and it has been an active running series since 2013, and was just updated with a new story this past July 2024. I have read almost every store in here, and many multiple times. Thank you wendymarlowe!

Right Foot Red by Irrevocably_Sherlocked 3k words

"..ok, it’s juvenile, but at least it’s a game where touching is allowed. And if something more were to happen, well, John can’t say he’d be too upset about that.

“What are the rules of this game?” Sherlock asks, the disdain evident on the word ‘game’.

“I spin, you do as I say.” John thinks he sees a slight widening of those pale grey eyes at that, just for a fraction of a second, before it is shut down. Oh, this is interesting, he thinks."

Right Here by EstherShapiro 

A little ficlet with very little plot. Post-case, first-time possessive sex and sentiment. Basically? 1400 words of John owning a certain consulting detective's arse.

Everything and This by suitesamba 2.7k

Sherlock and John’s relationship moves from platonic to physical with no fanfare, no explosive arguments, no drunken confessions. It was just John doing what he always did, and Sherlock finding a fitting new way to thank him.

Not like I love you by TeaHouseMoon 2.6k

“So, if we wanted to… Er. Do. What you – what you said. What would be – how would we, do it?”

John looks over at Sherlock, as he's sitting at the living room table, fingers fiddling with the fork from his Mrs Hudson-cooked breakfast. He isn't looking at him and his face is flushed, his cheeks almost visibly red.

notes: dirty talk

Chain Reaction by Weisse_Rose 1.6k

John tries something new and is surprised at the reaction he gets from Sherlock.

notes: For those of you who like Sherlocks sexuality to be like a dam breaking.

Deduced by sleepingirl 5.5k

"You like my voice," Sherlock said, interrupting him. "It arouses you."

John shut his eyes for a moment, trying to claim back some sense of decency, trying to will his prick not to twitch. "Oh, it took you that long to catch on?" It came out weakly, but enough sarcasm to keep him afloat.

"Of course not. I'm flirting, John, keep up."

A Million Ways by Mazarin221b 1.8k words

John is the master of the sneak attack; the sniper kiss to the back of the neck, the surprise snog in the kitchen, and because of this, Sherlock's inexplicable elusiveness only makes him want to try harder.

notes: sherlock is a tease, getting together, tension

That One Last Tender Place (To Sink His Teeth In) by philalethia 6.1k words

In which John has an occasional kink for pain, Sherlock finds out and begins acting oddly, and John quickly becomes (pleasantly) overwhelmed. Lighthearted painplay fic.

notes: kink negotiation, getting together

Something Reckless by berlynn_wohl 1.6k words

"But you'll forgive my naivete..."

notes: first time hung!John results in Just The Tip

Exceptions by lily_winterwood 1.2k

Perhaps it's because it's Sherlock, because Sherlock has always been the exception in John's mind.

notes: post-case first time, lighthearted

In Good Hands by englandwouldfalljohn 1.2k words

As an ever-insistent Sherlock assists his flatmate with yoga stretches for his leg, he notices that more than John's muscles could use some attention...

Problematic by MrsNoggin 6.1k

Author’s summary: This could get to be a problem. Sherlock is semi-aware of his position and how he managed to get there, but has yet to figure a way out of it.

notes: first time, Sherlock is a sensory weirdo and John is in to it

[days-of-storm]

I commissioned this from @shanblackrx for @mazarin221b's birthday, which is today, and I absolutely love it. I miss these two idiots so much!

[yoificfinder]

Hey there! Thanks for making this blog, it's already been a huge help in finding some lost fics ❤️🙏🏻

I was hoping you might be able to find one for me, if possible, I'd forever appreciate it. Please and thank you ❤️🙏🏻

Victor is a writer (mystery/ murder?) And is currently working on a story where it involves bdsm. To put himself in the headspace of a sub, he asks his friend to find him a dom that's willing to teach him. Enter dom Yuuri. I think they were both ex figure skaters (Victor retiring due to a knee injury, and Yuuri retiring after losing?)

Thank you so much!

Florentine by @mazarin221b [E, 68K]

Yuuri and Pichit are Dominants living in New York. At a play party hosted by Yuuri’s mentor, Minako, Yuuri sees Victor Nikiforov, retired champion and recent novelist. He’s there to research for a mystery novel about the murder of a submissive, and he wants to understand their midset. How better to do that than to become one himself? So, through his friend Chris, he’s introduced to Yuuri, one of the best Doms around, to train him to be a Submissive.

Problem is, Yuuri knows Victor. His idol. His childhood crush. He watched him skate and tried to emulate him until he finally realized that skating just wasn’t going to be in the cards for him and quit 5 years into the senior division. Victor had no idea who Yuuri was, having competed against him once and only once: At Skate America almost 6 years before.

But Yuuri can't deny that this opportunity is incredibly tempting, and he's not strong enough to say no.

[days-of-storm]

It's @mazarin221b and meeeeee!

My guilty pleasure right now is watching luxury hotel reviews and I found this british guy who keeps accidentally clipping into the backrooms.

He's unintentionally making the best liminal horror content on youtube

[bowldeepfannish]

Under The Midnight (fanart) chapter #1 - By Candlelight -

First fanart for my @viktuuriangstbang​ collab with The Maz aka @mazarin221b​

*insert inner mighty fangasming here*. It’s a fortune telling and soulmates AU >DDDD titled Under The Midnight.

Check it out at AO3!  Or via twitter :D

[viktuuriangstbang]

Participant Highlight: Mazarin221b

Mazarin221b | Writer | Twitter

I'm a long-time fic writer with a whole lot of words to my credit, but this is my first try at a Bang! But if you know me at all, you know I'll bring the happy ending, guaranteed, along with a lot of heat.

Favorite Angsty Things

Oh, how I love pining and slow burn. That moment when two people finally realize they want each other after months of time together, wondering and thinking and maybe hoping...*chef kiss*

Notable Works

Florentine (Explicit) | Silverlight (Explicit)

[somethingyoirelated]

“I’m not a woman. I’m not a man. I am something that you’ll never understand.”

@mazarin221b gave me a wonderful, terrible ear worm and this is my way to cope with it. In case you wanna read about Victor singing “I Would Die 4 You” to Yuuri to make up with him, you should read this.

Johnlock Fluff List 4!

Fluff 1, Fluff 2, Fluff 3

Sixth Time's the Charm by Schattengestalt 6.4k words

Five times Sherlock receives a gift he doesn't like and the one time he receives one that he loves.

notes: love confessions, promises of forever

Of Men and Things by Mazarin221b 4.7k words

"John never reads the Index. He’s had to look things up before, and the few items he’s skimmed through are enough to give him nightmares on their own, so he doesn’t touch it if he doesn’t have to." Sherlock keeps an Index, and John discovers that Sherlock's unique way of learning about people isn't as unusual as it seems.

notes: coming together, touching hands as a signal to each other, domestic

Like I’m Drowning, and You’re My Air by FinAmour 2.2k words

How is it that Sherlock Holmes, who knows an awful lot, has never known something as simple as a kiss?

How is it that nobody has ever taken him by the collar of his ridiculous coat, pressed him against a wall, and kissed him, firmly and soundly? How is it that nobody in the universe has learned the flavour of his tongue, or felt the soft hum of his enthusiasm against their lips?

It’s quite the injustice, and it’s driving John mad.

notes: jealous john, first kiss

Succulent by FinAmour  8.8k words

“You look nice tonight,” John says, and it all goes downhill from there.

notes: flirty John, overwhelmed Sherlock, unique gifts, love confessions

Moonlight by ConsultingPurplePants 2.2k

Sherlock is standing near the door, wearing, for what John thinks may be the first time in their acquaintance, jeans and a jumper. John drags his eyes away from the way the jeans cling to Sherlock’s just-muscled-enough legs to notice that Sherlock is wearing his own backpack, and is also carrying a collapsed tent.

John’s jaw drops open. Is he about to go camping with Sherlock Holmes!?

notes: skinny dipping and kissing and some smut

Smoke by lifeonmars 4.8k words

Sometimes time and space collide to show you something you've been missing. Sherlock's pipe helps.

notes: John has a hard evening, Sherlock is a good friend, they get a little high together

The Refractive Index by NoStraightLine 10.3k words

AKA: Five times John and Sherlock fuck in a bolt-hole, and one time they don't.

notes: it's about sex, until its about so much more. “You said mine, in Chelsea. You said love, in Harrow, in the rain.”

The Adventure of the Swinging Hips by susandwrites 14.8k

John has impeccable taste in music and Sherlock has a habit of swinging his hips without notice. So John decides to conduct his own experiment on those hips with the use of a carefully-curated playlist.

notes: flirty fun, est relationship, john watching sherlock adoringly

Apologies by Sherlock Holmes by ad0rably_0rdinary 1.5k words

Sherlock sends John off with harsh words, and Sally points out that if he keeps it up, John could leave him. Worried Sherlock ensues, and he blunders his way into a cuddly apology.

notes: gen, could be pre/slash

The Quiet Moments by belovedmuerto 4k words

Cuddling. Lots of it.

notes: getting together slowly and softly, gen-ish, seeking each other for comfort

in the interest of honesty by svpportive 1.8k words

"Why, Watson,” he began, somewhat muffled by his head buried as it was by the pillows, “do people not merely trust their spouses?”

on open communication and good sense.

notes: ACD

Acceptable Behaviour by bbcatemysoul 3.4k words

Sherlock isn't really sure why John wants to shag him, but he's certain that if he's careful to behave properly about it, John can be persuaded to keep doing it.

In other news, John is a good boyfriend and Sherlock is an idiot.

notes: insecure sherlock

Objectivity by EmmyAngua 2.5k words

The first thing John remembers is that he talked a great deal about Sherlock’s eyes last night. What he doesn’t remember is that he said a great deal more about them on camera.

notes: drunk ramblings lead to first kiss in the morning
