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."

Post S4 Getting Together (part two!)

Post S4 Pt.1, Post S4 Pt 3

As always, these are the fics I love that are after S4 in some way or another! These are ones that either don’t feature Rosie with John or she’s just not a focus of the fic! (10)

Following the rules by Beautifulisntit 4.8k words

After the events of Season 4, everything seems to be back to normal in 221B Baker Street. But a case and a strong blow to the head might be exactly what Sherlock and John need to face what is left of their friendship and what could come out of it.

notes: wonderful tension, clumsily eager love confessions. found from searching love confessions & first kiss tags

instruction manual not included by JenTheSweetie 8.8k words

The next day, they very distinctly did not mention it. Sherlock was almost entirely certain that all he felt about that was relief.

For a genius, Sherlock sure has trouble figuring out his best friend.

notes: miscommunications, acting on feelings without talking about them, running from their feelings, they get there eventually

The T Shirt Thief by watsonsherlocksuniverse 7.9k

Request: Sherlock steals John's t-shirt from the laundry. John catches him wearing it one evening, fluff ensues with an endeared yet teasing John?

notes: (love)sick sherlock, fluff, hurt/comfort

Turn the key, and come home by TooManyChoices 2.7k words

Sherlock and John have been dancing around what's between them for years. Will John return to Baker Street, and if so, will things ever be the same?

The Best Things In Life by Calais_Reno 2.9k

Will they talk about this? Hell, no.

notes: unintentional kisses, in a relationship before they know it, parentlock

People We Love by @calaisreno (again!) 6.7k words

After the disaster at Sherrinford, the rebuilding begins.

notes: checking in with all the characters post-tfp

The 2017 Johnlock Advent by sussexbound 4.8k words

notes: 26 days of a fic a day for christmas

notes: lovely read, keeping it around for when I need prescription grade fluff

Better Late Than Never by sussexbound 3k words

He suddenly wants John Watson out of his bedroom, out of his flat, out of his life, because he has been lying to himself these last few months, he realises. He doesn’t want John here, not with the way things are. He doesn’t want 221b Baker Street to be nothing more than rest stop John returns to on his journeys between women. He doesn’t want to play co-parent if Rosie is going to be snatched away from him and placed in the arms of whatever nameless woman du jour John lands on next. He doesn’t want to keep being so careful, so generous, so, so…

notes: jealous sherlock, love confessions while arguing

Afghan Bullets, Beards, and Unlocked Bedroom Doors by addicted2hugh  6.5k words

Set after series 4. The boys are living together again, and John's new style drives Sherlock crazy. He's trying to keep his besotted heart and over-excited libido a secret, but John has other plans. Lots. Of. SEX. And love. And my boys enjoying themselves. If you want some short and smutty fluff to read over your morning coffee or evening tea, this could be it.

notes: light fun, sherlock is quiet during sex

A Hesitation Waltz by UrbanHymnal

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.

notes: Sherlock has a (good) secret, John pines for him

Now That the Dust has Settled (We Can See the Stars) by SilentAuror 4.3k

Now that the devastating events of three months ago are past, Sherlock and John begin to move on, restarting their life together.

notes: warm soft short coming together, first date and first kiss

Touch the Light, the Heat by Leloi

“Daddy.” Rosie Watson called.

With a sigh Sherlock reached out and caught her about the waist, rolling over with her to deposit her in the middle of the bed.

notes: parentlock, sweet little thing about them having a happy life post s4, teeny bit of smut

The World In Solemn Stillness Lay by J_Baillier 6.8k words

Rosie's first Christmas without her mother is approaching fast, and John isn't coping well with the pressures of being a single parent. Can Sherlock scrape his new family back together?

notes: John & Rosie at baker st, Sherlock supporting them both, Rosie get hurt (& Sherlock outdoes himself ofc)

At times like these, I wish I lived in Minsk in 1961 when toothpaste was made from the charred remains of trees burned in above-ground, Soviet nuclear tests. #toomanychoices https://www.instagram.com/p/CS2VEeiP_O5/?utm_medium=tumblr
