where the good things grow by anchors (M, 7,066 w. || Tea Shop AU || Alternate First Meeting, Magical Realism, Gardens, Tea, Friends to Lovers) – “I have a magic garden.” As come-ons go, John’s heard worse.

[spikepet]

I'm feeling very sad. Can you suggest some fics that make you feel happy? Maybe they'll make me happy, too.

Oh so sorry to hear that friend. Hugs to you & here’s some upbeat Johnlock fics I’ve read fairly recently …

Happy Johnlock

 The Newlywed Game: JohnlockEdition by patternofdefiance, 9 k, explicit. Utterly adorable bit offluff. John and Sherlock go on a Newlywed Game show for a case so Sherlock canstudy the host. The questions are adorable, the sex scene after is sweetnesspersonified. Well written, and very cute.

Taste by a_candle_for_sherlock, 500words, gen. John is dressing differently, letting himself branch out more thesedays.

Ten Years bytoyhto, 28 k, mature. A friend tells Rosie Watson that her parents aren’ttogether for real, because they don’t kiss. But we do, John says. (Pretendrelationship for others.) Author isn’t a native English speaker, and some ofthe grammar is off, but the story is well worth pushing through!

Bread and Wine and Curry Once aWeek by cwb, 8 k. explicit.  Johnis trying to tease out Sherlock’s romantic life when his flatmate admits tobeing attracted to someone. John wants to help. He suggests Sherlock write thisperson a letter, ask them out, etc. and then wishes he hadn’t given suchhelpful advice. Imagine his surprise when he finds a letter addressed to him inthe flat. (Locked to AO3.)

The Chauffeur and The Consultant by eragon19, 6 k, mature.Invalided home from Afghanistan, John Watson takes a job as a chauffeur withStamford’s Limo Service to make ends meet.  The work is mundane, with hisclients usually ignoring him for the most part, until he drives his firstrun-away-groom; Sherlock Holmes.

Where the Grass Is Greener by chemma66, 8 k, explicit. Sherlock indulges in an herbal soother ofhis own for a case. John catches him in the act, and joins in. Dancing,munchies, and sexy times soon follow.

Alternative Facts bySwissMiss, 10 k, explicit. It was so nice to see they’d finally got thingssorted. After all they’d been through, they deserved to be happy. (Or: Fivetimes people imagined what John and Sherlock get up to in the bedroom, and onetime we see what they really get up to.)

The Harbour Becomes the Sea byscullyseviltwin, 3 k, explicit. Porn with feels. John and Sherlock’s firsttime. John sails right past his sexual identity crisis and into Sherlock.Almost poetry. LOVELY!

Barter Systembybrbsoulnomming, 6 k, explicit.  Prompt:I’d love something about Sherlock & John’s clothing barter system in thisverse! Bring on the “Sherlock wearing John’s sweaters” fics! Or,Sherlock and John form a bartering system. Well, Sherlock does, anyway.

Teatime and other GastronomicMoments by fresne, 4 k, explicit. Though he hides it, Sherlock is asensual creature. John discovers that Mr. It’s-All-Transport had a sweet tooth

The Mole byChrisCalledMeSweetie, 18 k, teen. Ten strangers must work as a team to winmoney on a reality TV show hosted by Mycroft Holmes. The twist? One of them isa mole, hired by the producers to sabotage the game. Such good fun!

What He’s Like bymagikspell, 2 k, explicit. Virginlock. First time, slightly awkward realisticsex. “I’m so in love with you,” John says, a statement of fact.“I will never not be in love with you.” Sherlock is so embarrassed.Talking and laughing in bed.

Portugal by youngdarling,  5 k, teen. Sherlock and John“accidentally” get married, and John doesn’t freak out at all.

Anti-ClockwisebyPoppyAlexander, 5 k, mature. Everything about Rome is a disaster, and nowSherlock has (inadvertantly?) passed John a lockpick that fits the clasp of aPandora’s Box.

34 Rules and Two Addendums: Not Gaybyscuttlesworth, 5 k, mature. John starts a list. It’s only in his head, ofcourse; if you write something down in the flat, it immediately ceases to beprivate, even if you password protect the file and name it something completelyinnocuous like “taxes”. So this is the list of Not Gay he keeps inhis head.

Memories of you, dyed with a red

Some fic recs

I’ve been posting fic recs at the Victorian Holmes comm on DW and thought of putting them here all together. Many of them are Gen, not slash, and each has its charm, insightful character study and simply something that touched me.

In the Shadow of Mount Sikaram by orchid314 (ACD, G, ~3K): it’s an episode from Watson’s military service, and I love the subtle way Watson’s loneliness is conveyed—he has no one to write letters to, so he sketches out his recent experience of delivering a baby in a form of a journal or a short story draft. His talent as a writer already shines in that short sketch: his sincerity, his knack for detail, and the realism with which he describes harsh conditions of a local village. This story reminds that it takes a great deal of nerve to be a doctor because one has to deal with life and death situations, relying only on one’s skills and composure. Another beautiful touch is that Watson’s orderly Murray, who later saved his life at Maiwand, makes an appearance. Sand in His Teeth by colebaltblue (Ritchie, G, 2.3K): the atmosphere of Watson’s “comfortless, meaninglessness existence” upon his being invalided from the army is just astounding. His bitterness, his despair, his anger, and again his loneliness are conveyed in a most striking way. Amidst this misery he meets a mysterious boxer which proves to be turning point in his life and leads to the not entirely accidental introduction made by Stamford later.

Gang Aft Agley by stonepicnicking_okapi (The Great Mouse Detective, Basil/Dawson, G, 5K), where Dawson is abducted, Basil is to the rescue, and it turns out to be connected with the Giant Rat of Sumatra. 

while the iron is hot by laurajv (ACD, Holmes/Watson, M, 1.4K) - Having concluded successfully a blackmailing case, Holmes becomes curious about the appeal of spanking. Watson is ready to oblige. It’s incredibly hot and naughty, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

Art in the Blood by rachelindeed (Murder by Decree, G, ~5K) - This story is an in-depth character study of Mycroft, Sherlock, and John, and there are amazing insights on similarities and differences the Holmes brothers have. Even without watching the film it’s a pleasure to read. But if you watched and enjoyed the film, the fic will be a special treat!

Sixfold in Scarlet by methylviolet10b (ACD, G, 3.8K)—Five times Holmes should have called for Watson, and one time he did. It’s a delightful slice of life, showing through six episodes how precious their companionship is. There’s character development and a perfect balance of Holmes’s eccentricity and Watson’s being a ray of sunshine. Intimate series by methylviolet10b, which includes four stories (ACD, Holmes/Watson, E, ~12K in total)—Striking up an intimate acquaintance with another man is even more difficult when that man is Sherlock Holmes. It’s an exploration of Holmes and Watson’s relationship as lovers, how they get to know each other closer and learn about each other’s desires. Holmes is a virgin in the beginning and eager to learn from Watson all about lovemaking. Watson is only happy to oblige. Taking the Steps by methylviolet10b (ACD, T, 3.5K)—Mycroft climbs a staircase while pondering a particularly difficult problem, one he cannot solve alone. Written from Mycroft’s POV, and Holmes and Watson’s relationship is platonic as no pairing is listed, but it could easily be read as romantic too. Watson is severely ill and unconscious for several days. Sherlock is beside himself with worry and anxiety, neither sleeping nor eating. Mycroft comes to offer him some support and make him take a brief rest by replacing Sherlock temporarily at Watson’s bedside. An angsty, in-depth character study of the Holmes brothers and their family bond, how it evolved and had its ups and downs. Very touching in showing how essential Watson is for Holmes, Holmes’s vulnerability, and Mycroft taking care of his younger brother when Sherlock needs it most.

Wounded Warriors series by gardnerhill (ACD, G, ~10K in total) - Watson becomes friends with Henry Wood (The Crooked Man), and they bond over their tragic war experiences. Watson helps Wood to get his war pension, and Wood helps Watson through PTSD flashbacks. It was Holmes who with tact and delicacy asked Wood to talk to Watson when Watson was injured in an accident which triggered Watson’s traumatic memories. And then during the Hiatus Wood was a friend Watson could turn to for company and conversation. Warning for descriptions of torture in the first story. A heartwarming series where injustice is overcome, and Henry Wood gets a happier coda. 24 Caprices & a Bottle of Claret by stonepicnicking_okapi (ACD, Holmes/Watson, T, 17.5K) - in CARD Watson mentions a dinner with Holmes at a restaurant and Holmes telling him anecdotes about Paganini. And this is their conversation at that dinner. Humorous, insightful, and philosophical, with Watson’s pawky puns and Holmes’s masterful storytelling. A pure pleasure to read. Lion by rabidsamfan (ACD, G, 3K) - a touching and wonderful insight into Watson’s time in the army, and Holmes supporting him at the anniversary of Maiwand. Goose by rabidsamfan (ACD, G, 8.6K) - I simply loved this Christmas story about Holmes and Watson’s earlier days when they were poor. So funny and endearing how they had to cook their meals for themselves due to Mrs. Hudson’s visiting her daughter and the maid being on a leave-turned-quarantine. Shenanigans with hosting a Christmas dinner for the Irregulars were just hilarious.

[spikepet]

Fics that contain highly emotional love making scenes? (where they're really overwhelmed or one of them cries?). Preferably bottomlock? Thank you!(:

Hey friend, I know there must be a lot for this but I only have a few fics marked …

Sherlock cries during sex

State of Flux by atiki, 24 k, explicit. This story is perfect. Justperfect. John returns to 221b after splitting up with Mary, and he and Sherlockwork their way back together.

Rel., Possessive Sherlock, Insecure Sherlock, Fluff, First Kiss, Post Mary) – Sherlock hasn’t ever really done anything the traditional way, so of course it wouldn’t bother him to propose to John even though they’re not even dating.

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.

We need to look after her.” to which Sherlock replies with “no”. John of course suggested that because he cares about her safety, but maybe he also did it cause he /wanted/ that to happen.

Correspondence by Cleo2010 (T, 8,031 w. || Letters, Friends to Lovers, Jealousy, Dating ) – Sherlock’s been spirited away on a case for Mycroft. Part of the deal was that he and John could communicate via letter until the case was completed. Maybe the cliche is true, absence does make the heart grow fonder.

John’s face falls slack when he sees it, instantly recognises it, and for a long moment he just stands and looks at it.

Rainbow Hearts Retreat by PajamaSecrets (E, 11,638 w. || Fake Relationship, Case Fic, Undercover, Fluff and Smut, Bed-Sharing, Therapy, Humour/Crack, First Time) – “It’s a same-sex couples retreat. For those experiencing troubles in their relationship. Consists of group and couples therapy as well as encouraging socialization between the couples.

See, Clara is not only American (and wealthy to boot), she’s also best friends with John’s ex-fiancée. Whom she’s placed in the wedding party. As Maid of Honor. And John just happens to be Best Man.

He visits, gets more upbeat, chattier, smiles, jokes… and still goes home again. Sherlock wants him to move back in - it just makes sense - but John shows no signs of doing so. This is the story of how John and Sherlock learn to say what needs to be said when they’re both so very, very rubbish at talking.

Rel., Nervous/Anxious Sherlock, Jealous/Cranky, Hiking, Vacation Homes / Honeymoon, Sherlock’s Family, Horny John/Sherlock, Patient John, Massages, Hand Jobs, Assassination Plots, Hand Jobs / Oral Sex) – This is the story of a young consulting detective who wants nothing to do with marriage and an army doctor who wants to find true love. It’s 2020 post-Brexit England and the British government is encouraging arranged marriages. Candidates meet through state-run agencies and date in hopes of finding love (and tax benefits). Sherlock doesn’t need or want a spouse, at least not until John Watson shows up. Hesitant to give in to his more carnal urges because of the way they derail his mind, how will Sherlock progress toward the more intimate aspects of a relationship? The answer lies in a very special wedding gift.

A Study in Winning by Jupiter_Ash (E, 106,658 w. || Tennis AU || John POV, Dirty Talk, Mutual Pining, Misunderstandings, Happy Ending, Sherlock Speaks French, Switchlock, Wimbledon) – John and Sherlock are professional tennis players and it’s Wimbledon. One is a broken almost was at the end of his career, the other an arrogant rising star tipped for greatness. It should have been a straightforward tournament. It really should have been. How were they to know that a chance encounter would change everything? Part 1 of Tennis

between each beat are words unsaid by darcylindbergh, hudders-and-hiddles (T, 107,998 w. || Epistolary, Slow Burn, Friends to Lovers, Angst, Happy Ending) – On their wedding night, John and Sherlock gift each other with the things they each said when the other could not hear, the things they each put down where the other could not see: a collection of writings that illustrate the way their love for one another has grown over the years. Part 1 of between each beat

Midnight Blue Serenity by BeautifulFiction (E, 151,907 w. || Friends to Lovers, Gay Bar / For a Case, Drugs, Pining, Case Fic, UST) – When Sherlock infiltrates a club in order to track down a serial killer, his altered appearance is enough to make John question his assumption that Sherlock is beyond his reach. However, is he the only one who appreciates his flatmate’s charms, or is Sherlock at risk of becoming the next victim?

A Fold in the Universe by darkest_bird (E, 152,869 w. || Omegaverse / Prime Universe Crossover || OmegaJohn / AlphaSherlock, First Kiss / Time, Friends to Lovers, Established Relationship, Angst, H/C, Dub Con, Humour) – Alpha Sherlock and Omega John are in a relationship. Prime Sherlock and Prime John are not. So what happens when a freak fold in the universe switches one John for the other?

Mise en Place by azriona (M, 161,004 w. || Restaurant (Kitchen Nightmares) AU || Sherlock is Gordon Ramsay / Celebrity Sherlock, Restauranteur John, Harry Plays Prominent Role, Alternating POV, Mutual Pining, Cranky Sherlock, Bed Sharing, Slow Burn) – John Watson had no intentions of taking over the family business, but when he returns from Afghanistan, battered and bruised, and discovers that his sister Harry has run their restaurant into the ground, he doesn’t have much choice. There’s only one thing that can save the Empire from closing for good – the celebrity star of the BBC series Restaurant Reconstructed, Chef Sherlock Holmes. Part 1 of Mise en Place

The Gilded Cage by BeautifulFiction (E, 326,887 w. || Omegaverse || Omega Sherlock / Alpha John, Friends to Lovers, Dub Con, Reproductive Rights) – In a world where Omegas are the property of the elite Alphas, locked away and treasured by those wealthy enough to buy them, John never questioned his flatmate’s secondary gender. Sherlock Holmes was an Alpha through-and through. Wasn’t he? A chance discovery turns the world on its head, and John is left grappling to come to terms with Sherlock’s past as events conspire to threaten their future.

Calling All Hugo Award Finalists

Have you posted something on AO3? Then I’m calling you! 

The Archive of Our Own is a Hugo Award Finalist, which means so are all of us!

Challenge: Post a list of your science fiction and/or fantasy works (the official Hugo website defines this very loosely) that are now up for a Hugo Award. Use the tag #AO3HugoAwardFinalist.

I’ll kick us off:

Divinest Sense (25k, explicit) John has been sectioned — deemed to be a danger to himself and others — and is facing six months in an experimental psychiatric treatment facility. After his recent drug overdose, Sherlock is being shipped off by his brother to live amongst the mad, as though this will somehow improve his mental health. What will happen when these two damaged men meet under the least auspicious of circumstances?

Hedgehog Day (2k, teen) Five times the hedgehog was an endangered species, and one time the hedgehog was John.

Pant on Fire (1k, mature) Sherlock stares down at his penis, flaccid and harmless-looking. He knows that people sometimes refer to sex as being “hot,” but he’s never heard of a nocturnal emission leaving scorch marks.

The CRUEL of Baskerville (2k, explicit) Something is lurking in the Cephalopod Research Underwater Experimentation Laboratory — something with which Sherlock and John are about to become intimately acquainted…

Unconventional (54 words, rated G) Sherlock and John attend a convention. Sherlock is not prepared…

“It’ll always be you. That’s why…” Still moving, Levi faltered slightly. “I can’t… give you up.”

Eren moaned lowly, and Levi continued. “That’s why… this is so goddamn hard.”

More quickly this time, Levi’s movements began to progress again. Eren’s breath stuttered, and Levi’s eyes bored into his. “The things I want to do to you… with you…” his voice wavered. “Yet… I can’t… because of this mess.”
