A hiccup in the plan by jamlockk 1.3k words

"In retrospect, it might have happened anyway. As it was, circumstances converged to create conditions conducive to finding himself trapped in a small space, pressed close to his half-furious, half-laughing flatmate, trying desperately to stop the undignified squeaks erupting from his esophagus. Sherlock later reflected that, if he'd known that's all it would take for John to kiss him, he'd have got stuck in a cupboard on a stake out long ago."

and here are the fics that i read to soothe the pain and pretend that the mess that is hannigram relationship has been tidied up.

An updating list of my favorite fics in the order I read them. Deduce what you will from my love of angst, meandering descriptions, and happy endings.

From A Drop Of Water ~96k M victorianpining 2021

"It was simply my conjecture of what a future world might look like and how you and I might fit inside it. From a drop of water a logician should be able to infer the possibility of an Atlantic or a Niagara."

Whirlwind ~51k M DiscordantWords 2022

But John arrives in the midst of a very active storm season, and Sherlock very clearly hasn’t let go of the past. Against his better judgement, John finds himself talked into riding along after one last storm.

Their Great Reward 10k T BeautifulFiction 2012

Boxing day, in John's opinions, is the worst day of the year. Christmas is over, the tree is wilting and stripped of gifts, and there's a week of dead-time until the clean slate of the new year. However the combination of a blizzard, a power-cut and Sherlock might just make it a day to remember.

The Progress of Sherlock Holmes 62k E ivyblossom 2011

“I had,” he said, “come to an entirely erroneous conclusion, my dear Watson, how dangerous it always is to reason from insufficient data.”

— Arthur Conan Doyle, The Adventure of the Speckled Band

Thirst 122k E bittergreens 2014

When John realizes he has feelings for Sherlock and decides he must keep those feelings secret at all costs, the resulting tension might bring Baker Street to the ground.

“The fundamental condition for desire is an absence or lack, but desire is never only an absence.” –Leo Bersani

The Masquerade of the Red Death ~17k E okapi 2018

On the hunt for a serial killer, Sherlock & John attend a masked orgy.

Lucid 71k E dr_girlfriend 2013

"The first time it happened was completely by accident."

Post-Reichenbach, John finds a way to hold on to Sherlock after all.

Transformation ~53k E Jadis 2013

Upon his arrival at his childhood home, John finds Mycroft-effing-Holmes in his parents’ living room. It wouldn’t be the first time a Holmes had turned his life on its ear.

Once More, With Feeling 21k T cellardoors 2011

To put off his meddlesome, matchmaking mother, John convinces Sherlock to play the role of his significant other. Unparalleled awkwardness ensues.

and stand there at the edge of my affection ~3k G coloredink 2011

"You've written love letters," Sherlock asserted.

A Cure For Boredom ~82k E emmagrant01 2012

They'd never talked about sex in the year they'd known each other. Well, that wasn't quite correct: Sherlock had never said a word about sex; John had bemoaned his personal dearth of it on many occasions.

Let You Kiss Me (So Sweet and So Soft) ~7k G out_there 2010

The first time Sherlock kisses him, John keeps his eyes open, and so does Sherlock, and mostly, he wonders what Sherlock could possibly be up to. There'll be some logic to this. Some ridiculous experiment about body warmth or respiratory rates or testing a new way of picking pockets. Sherlock does the unimaginable for bizarre reasons, but behind it, there's always logic and curiosity. Sometimes, it just takes him a while to explain it to John.

Acceptable Behaviour 3k M bbcatemysoul 2013

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.

A Terrific Soporific 11k T antietamfalls 2013

Sherlock, a long-time sufferer of insomnia, is forced to share a bed with John at a hotel while on a case. To his astonishment, he finds that spending the night next to John helps him sleep and becomes determined to maneuver himself back into John's bed.

In which John is a cuddly, BAMF assassin. ~11k T notbeloved07 2012

Sherlock braces himself for a cold-blooded killer, with nerves of steel and no remorse, with a reputation for ruthlessness that makes several hardened criminals check their closets before they go to bed - and meets John. Easygoing, good-natured, cuddly jumper-wearing John. Who thinks he's brilliant and hilarious, and can he take him out for a coffee?

M for Marriage ~29k M RonaSargent 2014

John Watson finds out who he is actually married to. It's not who he thought.

Beset with marital problems and with distraction in mind, a distressed John Watson helps Sherlock Holmes on a fast paced, high profile case.

Empathy ~36k T Blind_Author 2014

John is an empath. Which isn't nearly as much fun as it sounds. Most of the time, it’s not even useful.

Given In Evidence ~98k E verityburns 2012

Coming back from the dead can be a complicated business. With a new case on the horizon, rebuilding a life is one thing... rebuilding a friendship quite another. For Sherlock and John, things may never be just the same...

The Real Meaning Of Idioms ~22k T feverishsea 2012

After two weeks away, John finally texts Sherlock. He doesn't expect Sherlock to respond. He doesn't expect Sherlock to keep texting him. And he really doesn't expect things to spiral out of control so rapidly.

The Things You Hide 10k E verityburns 2012

Sherlock and John have been working and living together for nearly a year, each finding the other's friendship to be the one thing they would not risk or want to live without. Until something happens to disturb the status quo…

(drunk)

Saving Sherlock Holmes 139k M earlgreytea68 2013

Sherlock Holmes, schoolboy. Yeah, that basically sums it up.

The Whore of Babylon Was a Perfectly Nice Girl ~33k E out_there 2010

Sherlock walks into a room and takes all the space right out of it. He does the same inside John's head.

echoes through time ~22k E chellefic 2012

Mummy sends a trunk from the Holmes cottage in Sussex to 221B. Its contents alter the way John and Sherlock see themselves and one another.

The Road Less Traveled ~75k M verityburns 2010

Sherlock realises that John's dating habits involve an unacceptable level of risk... what if he meets an unusually tolerant woman and ends up getting married?

The Heart In The Whole ~102k E verityburns 2011

Events after 'The Great Game' leave Sherlock dependent on his best friend and colleague. But John has a secret of his own...

(TBI)

Over Fathoms Deep WIP E bittergreens 2014-

When the youngest son of the aristocratic Holmes family is shipped off to sea in an attempt to cure him of his poor temper and bad manners, he fully expects to spend a long tedious voyage as miserable as ever. What he does not count on is having his heart stolen by the strapping young crewman, John Watson.

Leave the Signs and the Sirens ~25k G out_there 2012

After John's released and back home at Baker St, Sherlock still feels it. Down the centre of his chest there's an ache like a healing wound. A physical awareness of a body he usually ignores as much as he can. It's psychosomatic, nothing more interesting than that.

(PTSD)

Blame it on the Viscum album 2k T codswallop 2013

Sherlock, Christmas, and poisonous plants: what could possibly go wrong?

Midnight Blue Serenity ~152k E BeautifulFiction 2013

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?

Speaker for the Bees ~15k M antietamfalls for feywhimsy 2014

It isn't always easy assisting a deaf detective. Luckily for John, they make a pretty good team.

Dear John ~218k E BloodSeiryu, FourCornersHolmes, Tindomerelhloni 2018

An AU in which Sherlock is in Rehab and is required to write a letter to a random person in the military. John get's it, and they become penpals of a sort.

(if you read the series, mind the tags ;~;)

A Promise Made to Be Broken ~37k E PlantsAreNeat for SwissMiss 2017

A young John makes an ‘if we’re still single at 40, we’ll get together’ pledge to a woman who ends up all wrong for him. She keeps reminding him of the promise, and won't let go of it. John asks Sherlock to pose as his boyfriend at a family wedding, so as to dash her hopes permanently. Sherlock, who has at last acknowledged his feelings for John, reluctantly agrees despite knowing how painful it will be to ‘have’ John, but not keep him.

Scotland series ~346k E snorklepie 2014-2020

“A nice holiday, just a bit more...murdery. ” John said drily.

“Yes! The best kind of holiday!” Sherlock beamed. “So we won’t get bored!”

After he separates from Mary, John returns to Baker Street. Following a request for help from Sherlock's cousin Violet, the detective and his blogger take a trip to Edinburgh. John discovers more about the Holmes family and Sherlock than he bargained for, but tries not to run screaming.

(dunno why last one's marked as incomplete, the main plotlines are all resolved)

The Adventure of the Silver Scars ~142k tangledblue 2016

“All this does not mean that I’m not still basically pissed off with you. I’m very pissed off, and it will come out now and then.” –His Last Vow

It’s been thirteen months since Mary shot Sherlock and John finds he’s still pissed off about it. Sherlock had thought everything was settled: John and Mary, domestic bliss. But when John turns up at Baker Street with suitcases, the world’s only consulting detective might not be prepared for the consequences. A new case. Some old scores to settle. Certain danger. Concertos, waltzes, and whisky.

A River Without Banks ~203k E Chryse 2015

"You love this, being Sherlock Holmes."

He had once. When had it all gone so wrong?

(lyrical time travel)

Manifest ~30k E causidicus 2015

John finds Sherlock's porn. The discovery shifts the dynamic of their relationship.

(so much angst)

To Light Another's Path ~129k E BeautifulFiction 2012

Teaching John to observe seems to be a losing battle, but when Sherlock falls ill and submits himself to John's care, will he realise that there is more to life than the science of deduction? Meanwhile, there is a murder to solve, and John must try and convince Sherlock not to sacrifice his own health for the sake of the case. Eventual John/Sherlock Hurt/Comfort case fic. Post the Great Game

The Adventure of the Consulting Woman ~39k E DancingGrimm 2014

“So the plan is, you have until Saturday night to make that,” he pointed at Sherlock, “look and act convincingly like a woman, so she can go and be a damsel in distress and in so doing trap a serial murderer. Have I got that right?"

(crossdressing and a badass trans woman

A Hesitation Waltz ~6k T UrbanHymnal 2017

He lets the vibrato speak for him: love and loss, triumph and failure, longing for water and a bit of rest after so long a journey. He would follow John into the desert, walk through fire, sacrifice to any God. He would gladly kneel at John’s feet, if only given the chance, and worship him with each breath.

---

A post-series 4 ficlet about John and Sherlock relearning one another.

The Sea in a Chasm ~18k T orphan_account 2012

When Sherlock decides to retire to Sussex, John decides to find out who he is without Sherlock.

(there's part two of lovely domestic ace retirementlock after ther that bit of angst 🤍)

The Vapor Variant ~73k M 88th Parallel (CanadaHolm) 2018

They were both gasping for air, John’s eyes locked on Sherlock’s. There was no recognition there, just wild animal fear.

Time stood still for an eternal few seconds, and Sherlock took a shaky breath. “John—”

Spell broken, John spun and bolted back into the woods.

Still heaving for air, Sherlock took off after him.

(Baskerville goes even more wrong)

A Beginner's Guide to Apiology. ~11k M VictoryCandescence 2012

John and Sherlock meet for the first time as old men in Sussex.

(with a tasteful bit of magical realism)

Two Words ~16k T amaruuk 2024

Moriarty is dead. Sherlock is about to jump. Two words change everything.

(John's also smart and calm under pressure, but that's canon, right?)

can u recommend some johnlock fic. i am curious

The way this keeps happening to me this year. Holy fuck . Um holy fuck I cannot. Mostly because I think I'm hallucinating this message and also because I need to know more about .... What you can handle. Have you seen bbcsh. ?????

Actually what am I even talking about I've prepared for this my entire life. U don't even know this yet but whoever U are, beautiful soul - U should start w pure, unadulterated, distilled bbcsh jl aesthetics and dynamics. No AUs no intense tropes no funny business. Just them in their disgusting little flat. These r all one-shots:

"so let's go to bed (before you say something real" by JenTheSweetie

"unconventional decor" by coloredink

"Our Enthusiasms Which Cannot Always Be Explained" by withoutawish

"Tall tales to tell in the dark" by @kinklock . This doesn't even have dialogue tags cuz their minds r connected heart and soul they're just synapsing together ...

"the thunder underneath his ribs" by darcylindbergh

Ok love you bye♥️

Hi! I really enjoyed your post about your writing process (or I guess your answer?) It was really thorough and lovely 🥰 If you're still taking questions, I'm curious to know which authors/books have inspired you. (I think I read one post about Cormac McCarthy, but I'm curious to hear about any others 😊)

gio!!! hello! 🥰 i was so rambly but it makes me happy to know you enjoyed it! i'm always open to questions because i'll take any excuse to talk 😆

i'll confess that i don't read as many books as i ought to... it's true that cormac mccarthy's the orchard keeper inspired my username! ("—as if the very air had gone to wine.") as for authors that more directly influenced my writing, i have to admit richard siken's crush was a very formative influence, of which "scheherazade" is my favorite ❤️ (i think this makes it obvious that i was urged into writing by being on tumblr 10 years ago LOL). i'm also an enjoyer of pablo neruda, mary oliver, and william carlos williams, but i'm not as dedicated a poetry reader as i also ought to be...

honestly? my biggest inspirations are other fic writers. among the biggest is gyzym—who is on ao3 but also here on tumblr, and as a young writer i constantly turned to his work for inspiration. i remember reading this post about arachnophobia and this post about a book falling in love with its reader so, so many times. idk. i'm pretty sure he's like 40% of the reason i started writing.

another writer i admire and have drawn so much inspiration from is brella on ao3. some of their fics are like, my favorite ever. their prose is so... lovingly crafted, i can't find the words to describe it. i also love coloredink on ao3, particularly their final fantasy xii fics. they dig into canon in the most delicious way.

i also have to mention my spouse @qorktrees, aka artenon on ao3. if gyzym is the reason i started writing, artenon is the reason i'm the writer i am now. reading their fics taught me so much about narration, about parsing emotions and thoughts, about how to envision a character's inner world. i needed that. i still think about it, even now.

i think i learn a little bit from every writer i meet (yourself included, you know!!!). i'm lucky enough to be surrounded by so many skilled folks. people still surprise me, after all these years. it's awesome.

#thanks for the question!!! ❤️❤️❤️#tldr; i don't read enough published fiction HAH meanwhile i read metric tons of fanfiction #but that's ok because there is a truly astonishing amount of incredible writers on the internet #answered #giosele #writing
