Can you rec some ACD canon fics? I've already read the turkish bath house one about 1.0000000000 times and i need more .

(SAME) ok, ACD canon johnlock fics: 

How Sherlock Holmes Was Compelled to Remember One Festive Occasion Per Year: A Reminiscence by John H. Watson, MD by MirithGriffin - the Turkish bath fic referenced, if others want to read it and the REST OF THE SERIES

another Turkish bath house one: But Why Turkish? by mistyzeo

Totus Mundus Agit Histrionem by mistyzeo - Holmes as an actor AU (read the sequel fic too!!) 

Tumble Homeward by mistyzeo - a series of first times, Holmes ‘teaching’ Watson things (highlight: Watson tries bottoming and they’re both like No, This Was Wrong)

Cameo by what_alchemy - magical realism, first time, the profile/cameo of your soulmate appears as a mark on your body (actually requited unrequited love)

An Excellent Singlestick Player by flawedamythyst - THAT TITLE, PWP 

One Week by JaneTurenne - established relationship, the boys make a wager on who can resist the other for an entire week (implied switching)

Absurdly Simple by Irene Adler - Holmes has a “client” who is being blackmailed under the Offences Against the Person Act (this topic can be stressful but this one isn’t so bad, and the dialogue is so true to the way they speak in canon, and the final sentence when Holmes reveals it is such a slammer like)

Particular Peculiarity by saavik13 - first time case fic, their client is a woman who married her brother’s bf, who is now being blackmailed 

The Incident In The Room With The Red Curtain by flawedamythyst - Pretending to be a couple ? in 1885? going undercover at a gentleman’s club demands it (with what I interpret to be a demisexual Holmes)

Wedded Bliss by Garonne - first time, Watson’s publisher is like This is Too Gay, please write in a wife, and Holmes is like you know what Watson fuck you and your hetero hopes and dreams 

Also when ‘tis cold and drear by Garonne - first time, rather than them not knowing that the other loves them back, Holmes restrains himself from a romantic relationship with Watson out of fear of repercussions

Wintry Morning, Victoria Station by Garonne - short and sweet ;___; anyway, everything by this author 

Seventy Minutes to London & The Longest Night by nlr alicia - before I forget, Thea will come for me If this isn’t here, the first one is described as train angst but frankly it all is, and then so much post-reichenbach angst, also, France, a forever WIP

Feat of Daring by bendingsignpost - established relationship, somewhat bittersweet 

Let Me by Violsva - Watson helping Holmes with his insomnia, in a handjobs between bros kind of way, which is like askjdhaadn but the thing is THIS IS SO !!!!! HOLMES IS SO !!!!!! THEY ARE SO !!!!!!!

Bloody Cornwall by mistyzeo - im sorry im just reccing every mistyzeo fic but this one too !! Holmes having nightmares and insomnia again

Compound a Felony by mistyzeo - BDSM with sub Holmes

Lending a Hand by mistyzeo - Watson having to be Holmes’ hands wink

Birds to a Lighthouse by Katie Forsythe - Angst, retelling of Reichenbach, implying that Holmes went into hiding rather than fake dying, and the version we know is what Watson chose to write

Grit by earlybloomingparentheses - early on Holmes/Watson friendship with Watson trying to hide being gay from Holmes, but then of course running into him at a gentleman’s club…..

The Truth of the Musgrave Ritual by mydwynter - first time case fic, redo of the Musgrave Ritual 

The Adventure of the Crossed Streams by mydwynter - this is technically BBC Sherlock Victorian AU but like, close ….e nough…?, first time case fic, also Christmas  

The Adventure of the Doctor’s Heart by mistyzeo - first time, Watson hears a song about a man who lost his love and regretted never confessing his love, and Holmes is like why would you would empathize so strongly with these lyrics i cant possibly imagine why -

Sentiment to Paper by mistyzeo - Watson finds a stack of unsent letters, first time

The Brigadier’s Sword by Drunk in Charge  - first time case fic, the Brigadier that Watson used to have a crush on of sorts comes to them for help, Holmes is jealous, etc. 

The Hungerford Wreck by mistyzeo - (newly added) Holmes is in a train accident and develops train related anxiety. Watson decides to fix this with train sex ajksndkand

Encounter on the Bakerloo Line by mistyzeo, Obstinatrix - also more train sex

What is All This Sweet Work Worth? by tweedisgood - Watson drunkenly kisses Holmes and well, fuck me up i guess 

Two Days by tweedisgood - “I confess I had never before considered myself a ‘sodding angel’, nor been anyone’s ‘beautiful boy’.” Holmes is arrested for sodomy. these fics are stressful, but that quote there makes up for it

DISPATCH BOX series by The_Cool_Aunt - A series of excerpts from Holmes and Watson’s life/relationship with a very Extra big personality Holmes and sweet caring Watson. Some fics are happier and sadder than others, so make sure to read warnings. 

The Book Collection by Ferryman - Watson and Holmes fall into an arrangement where they exchange pornographic novels, and things go from there  (all novels mentioned were actual books of the time period! well researched)

If you cover the bottom of the first gif you can almost pretend Sherlock is actually saying "I love you" to John

Your smile was worth a try.

I'm trying to prove a point to my brain: Reblog if you think fanfiction does not need sex to be good.

There is a trend I’ve noticed that smut fics tend to be much more popular than anything else and honestly I just want to have something to look at to remind myself and that writing doesn’t have to have sex to be worth putting out into the community.

I wrote a short story! You can read it here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/104361454-memories-of-a-broken-heart

John: Look Sherlock, this is the biggest and most important day of my life, and I want to be out there with the two people I love and care about most in the world

Sherlock:

Claire Pritchard: “Prosthetic pieces for swelling and stitches and a contact lens for blood shot eye, I thought it would be a realistic touch.”

He looks so small and soft

Who are you? What do you do?

[sherlocks-locks-blog]

There was one feature, and only one feature, of interest in the whole of this baffling case, and quite frankly it was the usual - John Watson. Who, while I was trying to solve a murder, instead saved a life. There are mysteries worth solving and stories worth telling. The best and bravest man I know and, on top of that, he actually knows how to do stuff.

teenlock idea:

There’s a wall in their school where people write anonymous confessions and scribble nonsense and leave doodles. The administration have tried to paint over it a few times but it always gets covered again, so instead they just tell everyone to keep it civil and PG. 

One day Mike Stamford finds on the wall, tucked away between all the chaotic graffiti, a very intriguing message: 

I’m gay and hopelessly in love with the rugby captain

The words are written so small it’s almost illegible, but that doesn’t stop Mike (and the rest of the rugby lads) from making it their mission in life to find the boy who’s in love with their beloved (and recently out as bisexual) Captain John Watson. 

They take a picture of the message, enhance it, and start passing out fliers and searching for the secret admirer like it’s their job. By the time John finds out about it, the school is covered in the fliers and there’s nothing he can do to stop them. 

John really wishes they’d asked his opinion before they started this ridiculous search. He knows they meant well, but John’s heart is already taken. He’s been lovesick over his shy lab partner Sherlock Holmes for ages.

WHO DID THIS I’M out of breath

[sherlocks-locks-blog]

OK BUT I JUST REALIZED SOMETHINH AND I DONT KNOW IF SOMEONE ELSE HAS POINTED IT OUT YET BUT…I’LL SAY IT ANYWAY. John’s hands. One on Sherlock’s nek and the other on Sherlock’s arm. Doesn’t it remind u something? It’s exactly the same way Sherlock hugged John in TLD. Coincidence? Nope. In this show coincidences don’t exist. It means, if you think about it, that Sherlock not only remember how John hugged him, but also that Sherlock thinks that it is the way John want to be hugged, I think. It is the way John makes feel someone loved and safe and it is probably the way Sherlock felt and so Sherlock did the same when John needed, he hugged him with one hand on John’s nek and the other on John’s arm. Bacause in that moment John needed love and to feel safe.

I…I don’t know if it makes sense but this hug, John’s hug, hit me and reminded me of Sherlock’s hug. I don’t know what to think now, I need a blanket. Also, I feel really stupid cause probably someone just noticed it ages ago soooooooo now it’s time for me to go. And hide. Bye.

LOOK AT JOHN’S FACE. FUCKING LOOK AT IT. DON’T FUCKING TELL ME IT WASN’T LOVE AT FIRST DEDUCTION.
