Hi guys! I’ve taken a break from sherlock fic for a while and been reading lot’s of OW fic. Most of it is mchanzo, with some mcreyes, genyatta, mcgenji and other assorted ships, will be divided by ships below.Any fics with *** before the tittle were my personal favorites.
ENJOY!!
MCHANZO
curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back by obliviates
“I’ll be darned. If it isn’t Hanzo. What brings you round these parts?” His accent was thicker. That was the first thing Hanzo noted. Even though he’d only been in the South again for about two months, somehow Jesse McCree had gotten more cowboy. And for the first time, it’s not just the two of them and his music and the simulated campfire. And for the first time, it’s not just the two of them sitting in a pleasant awkward silence, other than the occasional soft song on McCree’s guitar. And for the first time, Jesse McCree asks something Hanzo doesn’t know how to answer. (Trans!Hanzo)
***Hang The Fool by AlmaMeDuele (Of course)
How the heroic organization Overwatch acquires the talents of one Hanzo Shimada, and how gunslinger Jesse McCree will probably suffer because of it for the rest of his days.
twenty-one guns by starscry
Hanzo has been haunted by ghosts all his life. The phantoms of his past, the lingering presence of his brother - he just never thought he would be haunted by a real one.
Yes, Sir by Deadlockdarlin (Dokuganryu)
"I wanna be at your mercy"
Blurting it out wasn't how Mccree had intended to approach this subject, but he'd spent the last few hours with a knot in the pit of his stomach, the words seemingly stuck in his throat every time he'd tried to speak about it, and what better time to do it than now? Right in the thick of a battle. (Bondage)
Your Touch, My Comfort by Luddleston for SizzlyCrisp
Hanzo rarely felt at peace these days, but a week of leave was a blessing like no other when one had someone to spend it with.
Hanzo and McCree spend an afternoon together while they're on vacation. It involves a lot of kisses and a little bit of biting.
The True Meaning of Patience by lyraorion
McCree makes some mistakes on an operation because of hastiness, so Hanzo decides to teach him a lesson about taking your time to do your job right.
And boy, does he. (Minor Gunplay, Trans Hanzo)
If you Wanna see a Miracle, Watch me get Down by Luddleston
Hanzo and McCree are undercover in a bar, when they realize their targets are nowhere to be found.
It works out just fine, though, because Hanzo has other ideas of what he can do with McCree, a few drinks, and a place where nobody knows their names.
Wings of Love by mysterixn
Hanzo is assigned to be Jesse McCree's guardian angel. What he expects and what he gets are very different things. (Temporary character death)
Guns and Scales by Fledgling
A series of one-shots featuring McCree and dragon!Hanzo, as well as appearences from the rest of the crew.
Like The River by Goodluckdetective
Dragon Spirits don’t trust just anyone.
McCree never expected for them to ever trust him.
Or how McCree gained some trust, won a shootout, almost caught the flu, and proceeded to be the most handsome damsel in distress Overwatch has ever seen.
Ignore all Distractions by southdragon
Hanzo takes a job with Overwatch, and is isolating himself from who he is working with out of his own bad habits. But what happens when someone refuses to let him sit in isolation?
Tease by Samdragon
In which Hanzo rides the cowboy.
Run (No More) by rainbow_Velociraptor
Alternatively titled "The Story About How Hanzo Lost His Legs"
"My son ran into your arms like a wild dog runs towards a hunk of meat. Now I made sure that he will never run again."
*** Trust Knows No Fear by Jesse
Hanzo drew in a deep breath, his thick shoulders rolling as he slowly exhaled. He stared at the floor, and then at his feet, not looking up at Jesse. “Is it so bad that I am trying to spare you from this?”
Honestly confused at this point, McCree knelt down in front of Hanzo, trying to look up into his lover’s face. “And what do you mean by that?”
Closing his eyes, Hanzo turned his head away, the scarf in his hair spilling over his shoulders. “I don’t want you to have to see me like that.. without them.”
A oneshot fic in which Hanzo doesn't want to remove his prosthetic legs, not wanting McCree to see him without them. Jesse helps Hanzo to overcome that fear, as well as having a bit of fun afterwards.
Why Don’t We Just Dance by Anna_Blossom
Hanzo let a quiet laugh escape his lips. “You are embarrassing,” he said after a few moments.
“But you love me anyway,” McCree teased, and Hanzo rolled his eyes.
“Unfortunately so.”
(the one where McCree serenades Hanzo)
*** Pains, Gains, and Automata (SERIES)
Die nine times. Get up ten.
The invention of respawn, the nearly instantaneous reversal of death, has won wars and forever changed how Overwatch operates. Ammunition is infinite, nanobots repair wounds better than new, and expiration is a slap on the wrist. For some, respawn is nothing short of a miracle.
For others, it's the apocalypse.
Hanzo Shimada has no strong opinion on it one way or the other, but as he's enveloped in Overwatch culture, makes friends, discovers enemies, and fosters a vitriolic love for one Jesse McCree, he finds that every death has consequences, and respawn offers no sanctuary.
Trick Shot by andsylphy
At this point he was admitting to himself that half of him couldn’t end the competition due to pride, and half was wanting to impress McCree.
Dragon Heart String by Mchandsoap
Where dragons form a type of heartbeat soul bond with people they cherish, and Hanzo and McCree spend lots of time together.
Do It All Again by BulletproofFurniture
Hanzo had been sure when McCree suggested it, that he had been joking. He hadn’t looked up from cleaning his bow, and had waited for a more serious suggestion.
Until nothing came. Hanzo looked up at Jesse, eyebrows high in disbelief. McCree’s hands were on his hips with a confident grin on his face. “Jesse,” Hanzo said slowly. “We aren’t going skinny dipping.”
Jesse thinks he and Hanzo need a night off. Hanzo thinks Jesse is out of his mind.
To Make It Right by canterville
McCree’s never fancied a fella who didn’t make him worry some.
Bloodshot Eyes by twitchtipthegnawer
Hanzo Shimada is strong, and brave, and hot as all hell, and underneath it all he's even stronger and braver than McCree would have guessed. McCree knows it, and while he'll never admit the way it makes his heart feel (fluttering in his chest like a goddamn butterfly, what is he, a lovestruck teenager) he can admit that he never wants to spend another day without the knowledge that he has seen every side Hanzo has to offer.
Undercover by lyriumveins
Hanzo is a new member of Overwatch, working undercover in a coffee shop with a few other agents. He’s adjusting to his new life – and making good progress on his missions – when he starts finding ridiculous messages scrawled on coffee cups… Messages that are, apparently, for him. While he’s convinced it’s all just a ridiculous prank, D.Va calls them “pick-up lines” and insists that he has a “secret admirer.”
A Long Way by holdontoyourhulahoops
Hanzo and Genji have a long overdue conversation.
*** four days by starscry
“I have an embarrassin’ favor to ask of you,” Jesse says.
Hanzo stares at him expectantly, a single brow arched. “And what is that?” he asks.
“Y’see, my family might currently be under the impression that I’m bringin’ home a date for a few days next week. And, the thing is, I don’t really have one. So, I’m currently S-O-L and would really, really appreciate it if you came home with me for a few days and, uh. Pretended. To be my boyfriend.”
He stares down at his plate and jabs a fry into the enormous puddle of ketchup gathered in the center of it. If only the fry could be his hypothetical four-day boyfriend, he thinks; it would save him an enormous amount of embarrassment. It would be tastier, too.
[ Or - McCree desperately needs a fake date to bring home to his family, and Hanzo never does anything half-assed. ]
greedy by ahegao
As it turns out, untying McCree is not necessarily tantamount to rescuing him.
Sad Cowboy Songs by MooeyDooey
They say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, but sometimes it is through his taste in music.
*** Trauma by Demon_Apostle
It turns out that a sword can trigger a panic attack in Hanzo. He now needs to start a journey to rid himself of his trauma.
A little Anticipation by Astheroze
Hanzo had been downright ignored all day, left to suffer in mild arousal and wonder when Jesse would get on with it and press the godforsaken button on the idiotic little remote in his pocket. He hadn’t touched it all day- he left Hanzo to stew with the radio-controlled menace inside of him. And hadn't. Turned. It on. Once.
Petals on the River by bamfbugboy
Hanzo didn't know what to expect when he left Japan, but with his brother at this side, he would do anything to keep him safe. Even leave everything he knew, loved, and understood behind. Fleeing to California seemed like an extraordinarily outlandish idea, but his brother assured him that the southwest was a land of mystery, beauty, and romance--at least that's what his novels told him. He doesn't want to look over his shoulder for the rest of his life, so without hesitation, Genji closes his eyes before the train station's map, points, and tells his brother that's their destination. A little town out in the desert, away from the lights and busy streets of Los Angeles, where they'll start anew.
*** Magic McCree by Cawaiiey
Hanzo Shimada does not want to be here, he does not like strip clubs and never has. And Genji is wrong, he does not need to 'get laid', no matter how long this dry spell has lasted. He knows he'll regret being here tonight, and he needs a drink. And the tall glass of water clad in plaid that just bumped into him could be what cures his thirst.
Points on a Circle by Hubris_And_Crafts
It began when Jesse McCree summoned one of Hanzo's dragons in the middle of battle.
It began a month ago when Hanzo looked at Jesse and realized he's already in love.
It began an hour ago when Satya heard the word 'magic' and refused the believe.
It began six months ago when Genji introduced his his brother to Jesse, not knowing the two of them have a past.
It begins. (Side genyatta/gency, sombrasong and sympharah)
Amor is for Protection
Everything about Hanzo was just so delightfully attractive. His silky hair, his well-groomed beard, his satisfied smirk. It all felt like it’d been specifically tailored to get McCree hot and bothered. Which was all well and good, but what was McCree supposed to do about the fact that Hanzo’s archery glove was the sexiest part of his ensemble? (GLOVE KINK)
*** Draw by Khateeah
Hanzo has an unhealthy fondness for Jesse's gun. (GUNPLAY, TRAUMA, UNHEALTHY COPING MECHANISMS)
Popcorn Redemption by Wyntera
They say life isn't like the movies.
Well, partner, they ain't never worked for Overwatch.
Desperate Measures by justlikethelionking
There is an itch that secretly-alpha Jesse Mccree cannot control. And the itch may be nearer than he thought.
What could go wrong, goes in a much different direction. Jesse is not complaining. (ABO)
*** The 85th Annual King County Bake-Off by venvephe (WIP)
It’s October first, and it’s all come down to this.
The cake is perfect. He’s been waiting for this moment all year, since the previous baking competition. This is his chance at redemption, at reclaiming the crown of the best baker in the county. It’s a title only the winner of the county fair can hold. He’s waited a year and spent hours upon hours at work. Early mornings and late nights, scrapped ideas and tons of flour and sugar went into his masterpiece. It’s all led to him to standing here, awaiting the announcement of the winners.
This year, it’s going to be Hanzo. Last year’s winner - his rival, his nemesis - is going down. Hanzo’s not going to let his mortal enemy take the crown for a third year in a row.
What kind of name is Jesse McCree, anyways?
*** It’s All Your Fault by Cawaiiey
Hanzo Shimada joins the ranks of Overwatch and finds that he quite likes teasing the resident cowboy. That is, until a single compliment ruins his thought process, and he has to deal with feelings he's not exactly well versed in.
Dragon Rider by cellostiel
"You don't- you don't get it. I am a beast, Jesse. Not some cuddly creature."
"I dunno, you seemed pretty cuddly the other night."
"You're not taking this seriously."
"'Scuse me, but my boyfriend's a dragon. What part of that 's serious?"
-
So turns out Hanzo can turn into a dragon sometimes. Who knew? (Trans!Jesse)
Silver Screen by DerpyMcButtface
It's far, far in the future. The heroes are dead, old, or getting there fast. They're making movies now, about Overwatch, but not everyone's happy about that.
Be Sure To Hit The Mark by ceasefire
"Lie back, darlin'. Relax."
McCree's voice is rough and low, sounds like gravel crunching brittle underfoot from years of smoking cheap cigars and drinking cheaper alcohol. Hanzo can still taste smoke and moonshine on his tongue from when they'd started kissing, and the memory alone is enough to make him lick his lips as the flavour fades. (TITFUCKING)
Only Sweeter Thing by ceasefire
"I have never done this before."
McCree paused for a moment, his finger rubbing soothingly over Hanzo's skin. "With a man?"
Hanzo lets out a soft breath that tickled the whiskers on McCree's cheek.
"With anyone."
In which Hanzo is not as inexperienced as McCree assumes, and McCree is determined to make sure Hanzo's first is memorable for the right reasons.
***Good Fences Make Good Neighbors by vandoodle
Hanzo Shimada regrets ever joining Overwatch after he is paired with Jesse McCree, known cowboy enthusiast, and dropped off in the middle of American suburbia. Forced to blend in with the environment, endure neighborhood cookouts, and share his new living space with his so-called 'Husband', the two prepare to preform the ultimate sting operation: taking down the Vishkar corporation once and for all. He can't help but think this will all go horribly wrong.
Or, alternatively titled: the undercover fake-marriage fic that every fandom deserves.
GENYATTA
You Keep Me Stable by Semageon
Zenyatta can't help but desire his sparrow, and Genji is more than pleased to be able to finally be intimate with his master. (HORSE DICK WARNING)
That'll Do Fine by volsung
Genji and Zenyatta have been together a while now. They decide to bring McCree into the mix. (MCGENJI TOO)
*** Challenge by NeonCandies (WIP)
Genji Shimada was a man who never backed down from a challenge. From the weirdest challenge to the most extreme, he'd say yes to the dare and do whatever he could to accomplish it. So when he's dared to try and woo a particular Omnic monk, Genji barely thinks twice before he's agreeing. If only he knew how twisted his previously normal life would become the moment he accepted this dare.
*** And No Orchids Grow
A mountain cannot stop the road; it can find its own way across.
No Mistake Was Made by berlynn_wohl
“Your old body is gone,” Zenyatta said. “But we do not lament when the caterpillar's body is gone. We rejoice at the sight of a butterfly, do we not?”

Genji pines after someone he cannot have, but finds the person he really needs.

Sweet by ghost900

*** Dust Into Diamonds by whiskeyandguns
Jesse McCree has zero patience for sniping, good thing he's got Commander Reyes talking in his ear to keep him company.

In which Reyes starts aching for sex and Jesse is that good of a human being to cease that pain.

McCree is drowning in his own blood when he realizes he loves Reyes.
Crooked feet by northernmongrel
Jesse McCree falls in love with a man who happens to be the king of the pacific.
Love Me by dorking
Is this how people make love?
If that were true, he'd have felt loved a long time before he met Reyes. (Past Abuse)
Treading Water by smarshtastic
Jesse coughs himself back to consciousness, curling up onto his side as the water he swallowed comes back up. His chest aches and his head is spinning and he can't quite get his eyes to focus right. He sees several pairs of dripping boots and someone's got their face close to his own. They're haloed by the lights over the pool so Jesse can't quite see who it is. Jesse blinks. It's Commander Reyes.
---
Jesse's fear of water means he never learned to swim. Gabriel Reyes is determined to fix that.

For some reason, Gabriel had always imagined his first time having sex would be more…poetic. (Age reversal)

*** Life Size Ghosts by northernmongrel
Jesse buries Gabriel, but decides not to leave. (Death Fic)
Crossed Wires by smarshtastic
Jesse flips the camera open on his comm, snaps a couple of pictures. He strokes himself lazily as he flips through them: shirt rucked up, stomach exposed, a bead of precome leaking from the tip of his cock. The lower part of his face is in the frame, lip caught between his teeth. He hits send before he can think too hard about it.
---
Jesse accidentally sends some junk mail to his commanding officer.
Making Plans by fabrega
"I was really hoping we wouldn't have to have this conversation." Gabe hasn't looked up yet; he can only imagine the look on Jesse's face.
Substitute by crimson_wake
Ana tells him he's in over his head.
[reset] by bonebo
Sometimes Gabriel just needs a break.
*** nox by bonebo
In the Soldier Enhancement Program, before the days of Overwatch and when the world teetered on crisis, heroes were made.
Jesse’s heard the stories, just like everyone else--heard of the brave men and women who volunteered for the project, gave their bodies to science to take and break and reinvent, recreate in a better, stronger image. He’s seen the plaques at the museums dedicated to the Crisis, golden lists of names as long as his arm: those who tried, and failed, to make themselves good enough, fast enough, strong enough, to save the world.
Not everyone could be a hero.
*** Exodus by fabrega
Gabe thinks about what he owes Blackwatch, and Overwatch; about what Ana had told him; about white picket fences. He thinks about all the time he's spent fighting for a peace he might never get himself. He thinks about the last time he felt happy.
"Leave with me," Jesse repeats.
And Gabe says, "Okay."

Jesse was used to being on his back for Gabriel. Unsurprisingly, he ends up in the same position for Reaper.
Good Ideas by fabrega
Not for the first time, Gabe is struck by how much he loves Jesse McCree.
Honeymooners by smarshtastic
Jesse thumbs the ring on his left hand. It’s heavy and thick and wholly unfamiliar - but he kind of likes the way the cold metal has warmed to his skin. He really kind of likes it. He’s not exactly going to admit that to Gabe, who’s taken on this mission with his usual unwavering professionalism. Still, it’s weird to see him in off duty clothes - weirder still that it’s a Hawaiian shirt and shorts.
---
In which Jesse and Gabe pretend they're newlyweds as a cover for a mission at a fancy island hotel.
*** Bad At Making Friends by fabrega
"Every few months, Reyes disappears for a couple of days," Sombra says. "No indication of where he's going, no real warning, just poof and he's gone."
"But he comes back, right? So you don't need to know. You're being nosy."
"So this time," she says, "I tracked him."
The Lemon Song by flashrevolver
In which Jesse Mccree is hot for Commander Reyes, and overhears him moaning his name in the shower.
*** down by the highway side by rustandstardust
There's a rumor in the Southwest, more of an urban legend. A story to tell in the dead of the night. A horror story so chilling it turns the warmest of blood into ice, a love story so poignant it tugs at heartstrings like they’re controls for a marionette: one about a just man and Death.
so you were never a saint by leonshardt
“You know I don’t like sleeping on planes,” McCree mumbles, eyelids already sliding shut. “Always dream of falling, one way or another.”
“Yeah,” Reyes says, “I know that.”
Dorado by abrasive
Fluff about Reaper and McCree exploring Spanish and their somewhat similar and simultaneously very different heritages and childhoods together.
I've Got It Bad by mysterixn

ASSORTED SHIPS OR NO SHIPS
*** The Upgrade by robotfvckers
Zenyatta installs an upgrade and gets more than he bargained for. (DUB-CON WARNING)
*** Broth by artvinsky
The scent of the stock wafting about the small kitchen and the rest of the unit is enough the bring back faded images of long days of training in Genji’s mind, when he was younger and where he would end his day sitting at his father’s left hand, Hanzo across him looking tired from a day for meetings with the clan elders but happy for the bowl of shoyu ramen in front of him, and all of them eating as a family away from responsibility and duty only if for a meal-
But then he thinks of this family he now has, their ragtag bunch of ex-heroes-
He wants to cook them a good meal.
Unfortunately, he cannot taste it.
--
aka. that one ramen fic involving the Shimadas and the rest of the team. (Background mchanzo and genyatta)
Pillow Talk by Deathtouch (LUCIO/REINHARDT)
in which Lucio orders an escort to help him sleep at night, among other things...
He found himself face to face with an impossibly broad chest. He had to tip his head back to look this guy in the eyes. His heart rattled against his rib cage. Lucio had asked for the largest escort they had, and boy he was not disappointed.

Sometimes, having a boyfriend whose arms are the size of tree trunks can be useful.
***I Will Be Your Shield, I Will Bring You Together by letmeshinebright (LUCIO/REINHARDT)
Overwatch has just been recalled by Winston, and the old crew is trying to make up for lost time. Members are joining, missions will soon begin again, and justice will be dealt. Reinhardt thought that Overwatch was a mission left for history to reflect on, but now back in the thick of things he is ready for action. With the further Overwatch goes, the more ghosts seem to be reappearing. And with old ghosts, come old memories.
Get ready for that slow burn.
*** Transgressions, Sins, the Unforgivable by Vrunka (SERIES)

*** Genji76 by AnonymousFragger (SERIES)
Genji had been waiting long enough for Jack to make a move after their last interaction. He decides to jumpstart things. (Trans!Genji)
Help for the Lost by robotfvckers (Mondatta/Hanzo/Zenyatta)
Two shambali monks find the lone, wandering Hanzo.
Hi. I found a Bilbo/Thorin, Gimli/Legolas slow burn fic by Kairyn on ao3 called Heart of the Mountain. In the fic, Mirkwood has been attacking Erebor for 300 years and are getting nowhere. Gimli, Fili and Kili find out the source of the power source that has been responsible for the survival of the dwarves. I’ve noticed that you like Baggonshield, this is mainly Gimli/Legolas but the fic isn’t finished and has been updated this year so we’ll see. This is an amazing fic.
---------------
THANK YOU!! I’ll def give it a read! It’s been a long time since i’ve read some good bagginshield :)
Hey it's 176-pages anon again wondering if the fics Just To Damn Me (Qnyan), Points on a Circle (Hubris_and_crafts), or Antiquities (sortingthesockbasket) were recommended yet? Those are some stories I really liked that were all on AO3 which i wish I had an account on so I could check up on them more easily
Someone suggested Antiquities a while back (you can see all previous suggestions in our ‘fic rec’ tag), but I don’t think anyone suggested the other two. And ironically enough, Admin Kae wrote Just To Damn Me, so it’s pretty cool that you’re suggesting it!
Hi. So I'm having trouble finding any Johnlock fics where Sherlock is like canon and where I see that he loves John but cannot see how John could love him and vis versa. I will understand if you can't find anything. Please?
:( I’m sorry I can’t think of any fic like this off the top of my head.
And here we have the rec of the week! This time I managed to read something other than Johnlock, so there’s a bit of variety here (or so I think!) and therefore I’m breaking it by fandoms. Enjoy?
The hobbit
Speak These Words For Me by dragonsir
Bagginshield, complete, 2000 words. Really short, but fluffy! Some sleepy cuddles that lead to a confesion of sorts and some non-quite-misunderstandings.
Mother-Tongue by northerntrash
Bagginshield, complete, 28800 words. I just love all sort of pining fics and this has all the right elements for an epic pining story. Also, some misunderstandings, but that’s very minimal.
Caught in a Web of Shining Gold by Rads
Bagginshield, complete, 3500 words. Now this one- this one has misunderstandings and pining all around and I loved every second of it, even if I found it very short! A must read, really.
BBC Sherlock
We Only Part To Meet Again by yalublyutebya
Johnlock, complete, 11000 words. This is so impossibly lovely! Set after the Fall, while Sherlock is ‘dead’. Only that he isn’t and he lets John know, because he can’t keep himself away and it’s all so lovely!!
The agreement by moonlight08
Johnlock, complete, 1500 words. Have I mentioned that A/B/O fics are my guilty pleasure? And this one has everything I like in them: misunderstandings and pining. Also friends with benefits. Like, seriously? It’s just perfect!
It Feels Like Coming Home by WhatIsAir
Johnlock, complete, 3000 words. Pining!Sherlock. You know how I love Pining!Sherlock. Go and read it if you love him as much as I do!

Johnlock, complete, 3400 words. The title says it all, really. John is oblivious, but he eventually figures out what he wants.
Stimulus and Response by LostGirl
Johnlock, complete, 5200 words. Sherlock is a bit dense, but he’s so obviously pining that it hurts! They figure it out eventually, of course ;)
Notes by Kryptaria
Johnlock, complete, 2800 words. I absolutely love this one! Sherlock hoards random notes from John, is completely oblivious to his feelings and John figures it out for him. It just builds up so lovely… 100% would recommend.
Sherlock’s Man of (Endless) Mystery by Asterie
Johnlock, complete, 8300 words. This one is quite funny! Sherlock tries dating, John follows him (it’s Sherlock’s idea), they are made for each other and yet they fail to figure it out (at least until the very end)
And there you have it! Okay, maybe I did read more Johnlock than anything else, but well… I hope you’ll enjoy them!
wow its been a while hasn’t it? here are over 40 fics i’ve read since my last fic rec. as always, the ones with * before the name are very recommended! all kinds of fic below (there might be... a lot more smut fics than i wanted there to be)
Giving & Taking (LIVEJOURNAL FIC)
John loves to be full of cock. He can sleep without nightmares if he's got a cock up his arse and nothing relaxes him more after a long day than sitting on someone's lap, fully impaled, and watching the telly. Sherlock is all, "Whatever, as long as you don't interrupt my thought processes, you can use my penis."
**At the Edge of Desire
While helping John move back in to the flat, Sherlock discovers a strap-on among John's things. He finds the discovery considerably difficult to move past.
**What Did You Think About (Series)

John is devestated... until he works out what's really happened and sets about proving to Sherlock that he is beautiful with long, drawn out, worshipful sex.
Sherlock’s Laboratory, Episode 1: Romance
“John, this isn’t one of your science fiction programmes. This is reality." (CLONE FOURSOME)
**The Doubtful Comforts of Human Love
UK Ballet principal dancer Sherlock Holmes and assistant rugby coach John Watson met and fell in love as ambitious, optimistic teenagers. Twenty years on, they are entering midlife, facing the break-down of their bodies and the ending of their careers, and contemplating what the future holds for two middle-aged men forced to start over. With a frightening crisis unfolding at the Ballet, Sherlock must balance the demands of his career, his friendships, and his marriage with his own struggle against bitterness and discontent, while John takes a long-overdue glance from the outside, in, and stutter-steps toward making a kind of peace.
Brilliant and Commonplace
John's been comfortably heterosexual for years. Well, unless you count that bit when he'd been erroneously figuring himself Lesbian Daughter #2. Enter Sherlock and... uh, mildly kinky gay sex? (Trans!John)
Sugar & Spice
Sherlock Holmes and John Watson compete on The Great British Bake Off.
It's Not Irrelevant To Me
A drunken talk about masturbation turns into something more
Inexplicable
So what was in that matchbox, anyway? John and Sherlock find out, the hard way. (Bodyswap. Sort of Johnlockary polyamory)
Rearranged
The chairs in 221b get rearranged as part of an experiment. John gets a whole new view of Sherlock.
**Back to the Start
Sherlock hasn't played the violin since John's wedding (which is long since over), and when John returns to 221B, Sherlock relearns the violin as he and John relearn each other. Post S3 fic with an obscene amount of pining, idiocy, and attempts to pawn off tea duties.
don't forget it was real
With each list Mycroft finds, a piece of his heart is fractured and left behind. Post-TAB.
**The Art of Disguise
Holmes is a master of disguise, and Watson is appreciative. Lots more disguise than case, here. Mostly just disguise appreciation. Holmes in a dress. The end. (ACD!Johnlock)
Under the Waves
Sherlock finally makes the decision to end his life. John helps with the fallout. ( WIP :( )
The First of Many
Written for a holiday gift prompt: How about John giving Sherlock his very first blowjob for his birthday (for convenience, let's say they got together at Christmas or New Years b/c ROMANTIC). Sherlock is a Total Mess and john really Gets Into It.
The Battle for John H. Watson
Sherlock walks off the plane to find that Moriarty is alive, and for some reason John seems to be terribly angry with him...
**W.A.T.S.O.N.
Sherlock has been called a cold, calculating and heartless machine throughout his adult life. It’s only fitting that he finds his first true friend in an Artificial Intelligence.
nonconformity
Sherlock's lying on his leather couch completely naked, save for a sheet, on a blistering hot summer's day in London, and John gives him a way to forget about the heat. (Trans!Sherlock and NB!John)
The One Where Sherlock Finds Out People Think He's Straight
“Perhaps you could have an identification badge,” John suggested. “One of those ‘Hello, my name is’ stickers to put on your clothes, and you could write ‘gay’ in sharpie.”
“Now you’re just being ridiculous,” Sherlock said, rolling his eyes.
**The Moment Pleasantly Frightful
Sherlock doesn't kiss him all at once. He takes John apart, piece by piece, until there's nothing left of him.
**Your Perfect Offering
“Sherlock,” John continues, careful and quiet. “I’ve seen your back. I know you were hurt. I don’t want to pry, I don’t want to cause you discomfort but...I’m starting to think something else happened there. In Serbia.”
Sherlock rolls away and sits up on the edge of the bed, his back to John.
“A great many things happened in Serbia,” he says, flat and remote. “None of them were pleasant.”
IMPORTANT: This story is, essentially, a rape recovery fic. There is an in depth, though not explicit discussion of the actual incident, in chapter 3. The focus here is on John and Sherlock working on establishing a trusting physical relationship in the aftermath of deeply buried trauma.
**Speaker for the Bees
It isn't always easy assisting a deaf detective. Luckily for John, they make a pretty good team.
all things warm and tender
Grinning and giggling, John slides back down under the sheet and pulls it over his head, but when he pushes the folds of the linens away, Sherlock is waiting for him, eyes bright and hair wild, the firelight bleeding through the thin fabric, colouring everything in soft peach and topaz, and in that moment he is so suddenly, unexpectedly, ethereally beautiful that John forgets how to breathe.
Turnabout
Holmes wants to try something new; Watson is game. (Trans!Holmes)
The Mystery of the Olive Green Chair
Inspired by the promo pic of the boys in the special, this is my first attempt at Victorian Johnlock, so be gentle with me, folks. Also the chair is like, way bigger in this fic than in the photo, so just...just go with it.
**In A Changing Age
Sherlock wakes up in the 19th century, with no idea how he got there.
a good old-fashioned happy ending
And Sherlock stands there, in the middle of a Christmas market as John hums along to Silent Night, John’s hand warm in his with fingertips a little gritty from the cinnamon-sugar doused churros they’d shared, and thinks, oh, that’s–that’s an idea, isn’t it?
*
For Christmas this year, Sherlock wants to get John something special: something every fairytale deserves.
****The Ground Beneath Your Feet
Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure. (PLEASE READ THIS!)
****To the Sticking Place
Renowned Shakespearean actor Sherlock Holmes has finally burned all of his bridges in the theatre industry save for his constant director, Greg Lestrade. John Watson has made a name for himself in the musical theatre circuit, but age and injury are working against him. Can they reinvent themselves for an all-male Macbeth without killing one another? (PLEASE READ THIS TOO! IT’S SO GOOD)
**Living Sculptures
The reality of cocaine toxicity gives rise to more fantasy.
(Continuing from the last scene in TAB, Sherlock slips in and out of his alternate universe.)
The Scent of Me on You
The end of the most important case of Sherlock's life: PWP with feels version.
An Acquired Taste
At Montague Street when Sherlock was forced to sate his body’s needs, he was at least able to wander about the flat as much as he pleased.
At Baker Street, it was mini-bags in a mini-fridge and bedroom confinement.
The Boy Who Drank Stars
“I’m looking for a castle,” John informed the scarecrow. “A moving one.”
Except that, as it turned out, it was not a moving one at all.
Every Other Freckle
100% fluffy, slice-of-life lovin' and love makin'. John and Sherlock are young and sweet and ridiculously in love with each other. (Trans!Sherlock)
So true a fool is love
Exiled, never to return to his homeland, the Prince of Denmark finds himself at the mercy of a notoriously ruthless monarch. When he catches the King's eye, the Prince must do everything he can to stay in his sovereign's good graces while surviving an increasingly hostile court. (WIP)
Alternative Medicine
“We’re self-medicating anxiety and boredom.”
“No, we’re not,” John says breathlessly. “That’s not it anymore.”
**Leveling Up
John plays video games, Sherlock writes a guide on GameFAQs, and they get on quite well together... eventually.
Told entirely through emails, text messages, and voice chats. (WIP)
the safety in the spaces of your mouth
A naming. (or How john came up with Sherlock’s favorite pet name.)
**Wars We Fought, Things We're Not
“Oh come, John. Could be fun,” Mycroft taunts, accompanied by an eyebrow arch he’s gotten far too good at. “Besides, it’s not as if it’s your first time pretending to be a couple.”
Five months after John's world has fallen apart, Mycroft sends the consulting detective and his doctor on a case that neither is prepared for.
Forces of Nature
Sherlock watched as the man pushed himself out of the water and onto the floating dock constantly anchored in the middle of the lake. Oh. He was… He was quite tanned. Broad shoulders sloped into a narrow, muscular waist and tapered hips that disappeared into the navy swim trunks. Somehow the breadth of the shoulders made the thighs and legs that appeared out of the bottom of the trunks look delicate. Tanned in their own right and powerful, but oddly proportionate to the shorter stature the man seemed to possess. Sherlock watched the water run off of him, down his back, tracing a path along his spine and through the pleasing fossae lumbales laterales and lumbar lordosis into the waistband of the trunks. Sherlock swallowed. Shit.
**John Watson, Bachelor (Director's Cut)
For those of you who aren't up-to-date on their Reality TV schedules, Monday night is The Bachelor night. This season, John Watson is the bachelor.
A Monumental Relief
After Sherlock makes a suggestive comment, John's imagination runs wild. Sometimes, reality is much, much better than fantasy.
Mercy
John Watson asks God to save him while wounded in the desert. When God does he figures he'd better pay him back. After two years as a vicar at a large parish he finally gets to move to a small town and have a parish of his own.
Sherlock Holmes asks God to save him, while deep in depression. He receives no answer. Some people, it seems, have to make their own redemption.
A man of God and an all out heretic, the only thing joining them being their thinly veiled self loathing. Well, that and the fact that they are swiftly, and with little mercy, falling in love. (WIP)
**Unkissed (series)
Sherlock returned from the dead a year ago. John returned to Baker Street six months ago. They've been in a couple since then. or at least, not NOT a couple. For two smart men, they sure can be dumb. Luckily, an art thief tries to drown Sherlock, Sherlock has a fever dream and things are about to change.
Looking Glass Cabaret
Lady Grey dropped her gaze and giggled, shaking her head. She looked up again. “Irene was right about you.”
“Oh?”
She nodded. “She said that you were a devilish man, she could tell just by looking at you.”
Sherlock’s chest grew warm with something he would rather not analyse as he stared down into her warm gaze. “Takes one to know one.”
Lady Grey scoffed. “Oh, Irene? Devil in a red dress, of course”
Sherlock shook his head, slightly dazed and in wonder that he was standing outside in the dark, talking to a drag queen he was developing an unhealthy infatuation for with every word that left her lips. “I was talking about you.” (CABARET DANCER!John)
Happy Birthday, John
"He still didn’t know how he had let Mary convince him to do this, without even speaking to him. Nor did he know how she had found out about his inner desires. But the fact remained that she had, and that she had decided to take advantage of it to ‘surprise’ John.
And what a damn surprise it was." (Good!Mary and Joltolock)
Strange Neighbours (AO3 account needed to read)
When Sherlock Holmes finds himself stranded in the English countryside at a struggling bed and breakfast, the last thing he expects is for a much more intimate mystery to fall into his lap.
Coup de Foudre
When John and his friends decide to blow off some steam after finals with a holiday to the Swiss Alps, he's expecting a week of roaring fires, hot chocolate, and snow as far as the eye can see. He is not expecting to fall head over heels for a fellow guest--a young Frenchman known only as "Blue Scarf"--but John's not one to let a little language barrier get in the way, and, with the help of Google Translate, it might just be a Christmas to remember after all.
I know you don't usually rec unfinished fics, but are there any that you are following at the moment that you're enjoying?
i actually am happy to rec WIPs as long as I’m not held responsible for anything that happens after I’ve rec’d it lol, I just figure people generally want finished fics. as for a few recent-ish (started in 2015) WIPs that i have my eye on:
Novel by lifeonmars - John as a writer and Sherlock as his editor. John starts writing a fairy tale about the two of them, which i love because it’s basically two stories about them falling in love for the price of one. it hasn’t updated since the summer, but I’m hopeful [looks into the distance]
Sherlock Holmes Detective Agency by avawtsn - I’ve never seen the tv show this fic was based on but trust me it doesn’t matter, I love this premise A LOT. basically John is running a detective agency, named after a fake owner (Sherlock Holmes) who does not actually exist. and then our Sherlock shows up and steals the identity of John’s made-up detective jansnkd I hope it continues <3
A Reckoning by Pudu - I affectionately call this fic the angst watersports fic even though there is technically no actual piss kink in it and I apologize for spreading this rumour lol It’s actually a very well done Post S3 fic. lots of bed sharing and fake relationship’ing and both John and Sherlock extremely in character. I honestly don’t read very many canon verse fics, but this one has me. p.s. the one sex scene so far is Incredible.
A Further Sea by i_ship_an_armada, ShinySherlock - all you really need to know here is pirate Sherlock capturing John but not in a Mean way. also, now over 100k

★ Leave No Soul Behind 250k+ words. After Kirk fails to stop Nero, he transfers to EPAS, the emergency services for Starfleet. There, he meets Spock. (THE AU OF ALL AUS.

★ Illogical (√π233/hy7) series 140k+ words altogether. If Kirk was a maths genius, and never took Pike up on the dare to do better, but still managed to get to Starfleet? This is what that would look like. (I know it’s a 23 part series, but each one is relatively short or medium length, and you don’t have to read them all- though they’re all beautifully written and have Spock/Kirk in each, in case you’re thinking of not reading one of the fics because it’s not centered around them)
Take Refuge in What You Know 100k+ words. (I haven’t read this, which is why there isn’t a star yet, but I keep seeing this on rec lists, so it must be great. I’m going to read it soon.) Present Day AU. Spock is Jim’s agoraphobic neighbor.

The Enterprise as we know it are stuck in a storm, where they meet their parallel universe counterparts from Chess!Verse. But Spock and Uhura are dating, and when something happens to make Spock essentially experience something akin to pon farr, parallel!Kirk takes the chance to match make. (This is a really interesting concept, the author crosses over the canon universe with the universe of her own fic.

The crew of the Enterprise finds themselves in a galaxy nearby a planet called Relegence, and most of the men are gay.
Zenith Twilight AU, but with Iowa and aliens and crop circles, rather than Forks and vampires and blood.
★ The Prophecy of Apollo AU Based on Psyche and Cupid myth. Surak’s teachings never spread, and the Federation is at odds with the Vulcans. Warlord Sarek’s son Spock goes into pon farr, and Jim agrees to be his bond mate.

However, the author said that she was having computer troubles and it will be updated, so let’s form a prayer circle for KCaCV to update soon.)

But regardless, please read it, it’s really good.)

Grasp the Thorn While on Earth with his parents, a teenage Spock meets a teenage Jim.
★ Stars and Planets ‘verse College AU, sort of. They are all musicians working on the Star Trek 2009 soundtrack. (I advise reading this in chronological order, rather than by order of writing. And, okay, there are NO WORDS to describe how much I love these fics. They are FLAWLESS AND BEAUTIFUL.)

Big fic (100k+ words)
The Reboot Series 140k+ words. Kirk enters Pon Farr, and the lives of Spock and Kirk are changed.
Observations 410k+ words. First Officer Spock comments on life aboard the Enterprise and his service under Captain James T. Kirk. Alternate sites are FF.Net or the downloadable version eBook or PDF, or you can even get the physical book version (omfg) (Okay, I haven’t actually read this yet, which is why there’s no star next to it, but I hear it is magnificent, and it’s next on my to read list. I think I might even buy the book if I end up worshiping it.) [edit: sourwolfwrangler has informed me that there is a rape chapter in Observations. It’s not warned in the overall fic, but the chapter has a warning. Thanks for that warning.]
★ Leave No Soul Behind 250k+ words. After Kirk fails to stop Nero, he transfers to EPAS, the emergency services for Starfleet. There, he meets Spock. (THE AU OF ALL AUS. My summary cannot possibly cover the AWESOME that this fic is. And the author really knows so well all the medical and technical stuff.)
Veritas 180k+ words Captain Kirk and Commander Spock are charged with negligence and misconduct for being emotionally compromised by each other.
★ Illogical (√π233/hy7) series 140k+ words altogether. If Kirk was a maths genius, and never took Pike up on the dare to do better, but still managed to get to Starfleet? This is what that would look like. (I know it’s a 23 part series, but each one is relatively short or medium lenght, and you don’t have to read them all- though they’re all beautifully written and have Spock/Kirk in each, in case you’re thinking of not reading one of the fics because it’s not centered around them)
Take Refuge in What You Know 100k+ words. (I haven’t read this, which is why there isn’t a star yet, but I keep seeing this on rec lists, so it must be great. I’m going to read it soon.) Present Day AU. Spock is Jim’s agoraphobic neighbor.
★ Atlas 140k+ words. Between what was and what will be stands James Tiberius Kirk, in all his fractured patchwork glory. Because saving the Federation was only the beginning.(The writing is beautiful, and so is the humor and the characterization. READ THIS.)
okay yoooooo its been ages but here’s my latest fic rec!!!! there’s about fifty fics ive read over the past few moths of our fav boys! :^))))
fics marked with a * at the beggining are my favorites!
subterfuge isn't subterfuge if you don't know what the hell you're doing
The entire idea was ludicrous, and terrified John a whole hell of a lot.
*Hello
After Sherlock returns to London after breaking down Moriarty's network an angry John refuses to talk to him... So Sherlock leaves him some messages...
A fic inspired by Adele's song 'Hello'.
*The Printer Is Jammed
John is a disgruntled customer who just wants his money back for a shoddy printer Harry ordered for him off of a catalogue. Sherlock is a bored customer service rep working the summer he has off from Oxford. They are both about to get more than they bargained for.
Little King Trashmouth
John meets his trash clone self and is not amused.
Sherlock is, a bit.
Filled
Sherlock gives John the most drawn out and amazing fuck ever.
*Measuring the Size of the Human Voice
John doesn’t use any of his words at work. He becomes adept at sign language, has a vast array of flashcards with careful illustrations of the human body on them and another set with instructions: SHOW ME WHERE IT HURTS; STAND UP, PLEASE; BREATHE IN; AND OUT AGAIN; VERY GOOD, THANK YOU.
Cocoon
At least shut the curtains, then.
*Level 65 Paladin Looking for Group
"I think I met someone," John says at his next therapist's appointment. "A friend." "Really?" Ella asks. She sounds pleased, and also surprised. "What's his name?" John nods. "Really. His name's Sherlock. He -- he plays the same game as me, the online one. We party together."
Annuo
John’s bedroom is awash in the tender ash-darkness of early evening and in it, like exotic fish in a big tank, John and Sherlock glide against each other. John has waited for this moment for so long that he can barely remember what life was like before perpetual denial wedged itself into his very soul.
Belt-Fed Cock
Some babies are born with hair, or with teeth. Some with a caul, some with a tail. Sherlock Holmes was born with an olive drab bandana in his right pocket.
Iris
Sherlock does his best to make John happy when John comes back to 221B with his new baby after the events of Season 3, but Sherlock has a track record of getting things wrong in this area. This story is an exploration of their gradual shift from friends to lovers, told from Sherlock's perspective, full of a lot of pining and lack of emotional awareness. (But don't worry; I love a happy ending.)
To Have and To Hold
“I'm just supposed to get married, knowing that there's something here between us that we refuse to talk about?” John is moving closer as he talks, backing Sherlock against the wall. “Knowing that a week ago I was all but inviting you to ask me for... anything you wanted. And you do, don't you? Want something from me?”
There are a considerable number of things Sherlock wants from John. He doesn’t think about them. Didn’t think John was aware of them. ”I don't know what you mean.”
“Me, Sherlock,” John says. “I mean that you want me.”
To Ruin
Of course Sherlock demanded to be released from the hospital as soon as he was admitted.
“You’re not leaving.” Mycroft informed him. “At least not without proper supervision.”
Sherlock glared at him as he shoved aside the deplorable food.
“I’m serious, Sherlock. This is for your own good.”
*The Thrill of Instinct
Sherlock Holmes, a new Jurassic World dinosaur petting zoo manager, imagined that simply working with the dinosaurs would give him the thrill of his life. Instead, he finds that the only thing that thrills him more is bearded raptor trainer, John Watson.
Basically, Sherlock meets John, they fall in love, like all fanfics. This time there's dinosaurs.
*Pretty Piece of Tail
Sherlock tries to make John regret leaving him for a shift at the surgery. Nothing goes quite as planned, but he's certainly not complaining.
The Breath Between Us
A simple romance that takes place in a traditionalist alpha/omega society.
John is invalided home and finds himself an eligible bachelor; Sherlock is a stubborn omega who has refused all of his suitors. They take to one another.
Slim to None

The White Lotuses
One day John realizes that he just isn't where he belongs, which is back at Baker Street with Sherlock. So he goes back and Sherlock, in his own way, courts him. Romance.
*The Perfect Specimen
After seeing John undressed for the first time and making certain observations, Sherlock quickly becomes obsessed with a certain body part belonging to his flatmate.
*Ugly Duckling
Sherlock has spent his life thinking that he's ugly, and it really wouldn't bother him except for two things: a) he wants John to like him, and b) he finds himself on a case involving underwear modeling. But apparently body positivity comes with a bloody side dish of serial killing, and John in nothing but pants is very distracting. What's an ugly duckling to do?
*A Lesson in Patience
On Valentine's Day, Sherlock can't stop thinking about topping for the first time, and then things go a bit awry.
13, 19, 38
Three vignettes of Sherlock’s life that take place when he is (roughly) 13, 19, and 38 years old, respectively, each dealing with Sherlock’s experiences and thoughts regarding sex and romance. (AO3 ACCOUNT NEEDED TO READ THIS FIC)

One day John comes home from work early and walks in on Sherlock doing something he never expected to see...
Watch What They Photograph
“If you want to learn what someone fears losing, watch what they photograph.” — Unknown
Working on the Edges
No matter where you put Sherlock and John, they click. Including the Winter Olympics. (PODFIC)
*The Odd-Edged Puzzle
Sherlock knows his body. Can tell you every inch of it, every scar, every bone, where everything should be and where everything wasn't. He could tell you the exact register of his voice, how low it dipped when he so chose to make it do so. He could tell you how people see him, how they perceived his form to be. He could reveal how he didn't bother to correct him, the data all unimportant.
But he cannot tell John Watson, because to tell him would mean disaster. Spell out an end to their friendship forever.
At least, this is what Sherlock thinks. (WIP)
*I'm a Flame and You're my Fire (Series)
After being shot and invalided from the Army, John is living a despondent life with a wife who has no respect and no love for him any longer, yet he is desperate to make their marriage work. In a last ditch effort to save their marriage, he moves them out of London and to some small, nameless town where his good friend, Mike Stamford, has been able to get him a job as a teacher at a secondary school. There he meets a teenage boy who he has an undeniable connection to, and who has the ability to make his life seem less meaningless. Though he knows that it’s wrong, John just can’t stop the relationship he is developing with Sherlock from growing. It slowly begins to spiral out of control, consuming his entire life like a wild fire and changing him in ways he didn’t think were possible anymore. (DADDY KINK AND STUDENT/TEACHER)
Lessons in Astronomy
In a different time, a more naive time, Sherlock thought he was the star and John the satellite, circling him in worshipful orbit. He knows now that was never true. John was always the sun, bright and fierce, and Sherlock was the pale, cold moon, his only heat coming from the light he reflected.
And then his sun went into supernova. Moriarty said he would burn him and he has, and John is the fire, his rage and grief incinerating Sherlock, burning the heart out of him in the end, turning him into nothing but cinder and ash. And now the supernova is collapsing, a black hole born where there was once warmth and heat and love, and Sherlock is being pulled down, down past the event horizon, into the endless frozen void where nothing can ever escape. (SECOND PART OF THE SERIES HAS UNREQUITED HOLMECEST BUT IT CAN BE SKIPPED)
******good-morrow to our waking souls
"Their souls find each other and come together again; he is named John now, and he is as constant and unchangeable as ever, as sure to be by his side as it is sure that the sun will rise."
Sherlock finds it difficult to live without John in any life, and always remembers how he is taken from him.
Or: how many ways can two men die over the course of more than 2,000 years? (HOLY FUCKING SHIT READ THIS. WARNING FOR SUICIDE, DEATH AND VERY BRIEF MOMENT OF PEDOPHILIA. LOTS OF ANGST.)
Speaker for the Bees
It isn't always easy assisting a deaf detective. Luckily for John, they make a pretty good team.
A Study in Silicone
Female!Sherlock and Jane Watson try out a strap-on dildo for the first time.
*Common Tongues: Unassuming Brilliance
John may be predictably average in most things, but there are a handful of areas in which he knows he is uncommonly skilled. He can make a great cup of tea, for one. He's also good at patching folks up, putting bullets precisely where he wants them, and listening.
The one skill that John is perhaps most exceptional in, though, is language. John is a polyglot. (AO3 ACCOUNT NEEDED TO READ THIS FIC)
A Study in Repression
By a strange turn of events, Sherlock is forced to reconcile his feelings toward his flatmate and confront his addictive nature.
*****At Night In The Floating World
"Xie [...] had invented an entire pleasure-industry by combining superior visual aesthetics with impeccable personal attention. Drasha salons were by that time a feature of any even half-decent house of repose in every pleasure district in the British Isles, but once upon a time, when Xie debuted, there had been only one, and Xie had named it: the Icehouse."
*
Deep-cover Unity operative, the Face, finds himself drawn into the orbit of the otherworldly Xie, a world-famous "drasha" (drag+geisha) artist in a London house of repose. As a resistance plot unfolds, the secrets each of them keeps will draw them together even as they threaten to drive them apart.

*Love Is A Much More Capricious Communicator
When Sherlock first lays eyes on John, it's love at first sight. Unfortunately, Sherlock is sort of a two-year-old about emotions, and gets clumsy, tongue-tied and stupid every time he tries to speak to John.

Bloom
They'll kiss, and they'll touch, and they'll make each other ache with pleasure, but this-- this is something, isn't it?
Unilock/Late-Teenlock, slice-of-life fic in which John and Sherlock are silly and in love. Contains afab-transgender Sherlock.

*Without a Doubt
When Sherlock Holmes meets John Watson as a child in 1949, he has no idea what he's in for. Growing up in the age of drive-in movies, leather jackets, and diners and soda shops on every corner sounds pretty picturesque, but the 1950s present plenty of challenges as well, and falling in love with your best friend? Well, that's never easy.
Curious Case
After burning his hands, Sherlock's unable to release his 'tension' in the usual manner. Who should he turn to? His totally, completely straight friend and flatmate who's totally not into Sherlock or his boy parts at all. Definitely.
Just a bit of fun that's PWP with a hint of plot, all the way through.
*The Syntax of Things

Witness and Testimony
Men of certain dispositions should not take up residence with consulting detectives. Having done so anyway, Watson is finally forced to face the consequences. Not quite the consequences he expected, however. (ACD Holmes)
*Take My Breath Away
Sherlock opens his eyes and looks at his friend—his best friend—and slowly tips his chin down until his forehead rests softly against John’s. They stay that way for a long moment, lips just a whisper apart, warm puffs of air mingling as each of them struggles to breathe.
It’s no wonder they ended up here, really, locked in this breathless moment balanced on the cusp of something new.
They’ve spent years taking each other’s breath away…
Bruise Break Mend
John's unsure about the depth and darkness of his desire for Sherlock. Sherlock's got a little surprise for him. (BDSM)
*Where Else Would I Be?
John and Sherlock's five-year-old granddaughter spends the weekend with them in Sussex. Sherlock happily indulges her whims, and John takes care of them while quietly revisiting the past thirty years of their lives together.
Worth The Wound
John would not, before tonight, ever have thought he’d have a reason to be happy that a band of Chinese smugglers mistook him for Sherlock and so pistol-whipped, then kidnapped him. However, as he sits next to Sherlock in the cab home from the tramway, Sherlock’s reaction gives him the best reason in the world. (BDSM)
That's An Order
Something John says reminds Sherlock of a desire he’d thought long forgotten.
s'fine (all fine)
He breaks two beakers in as many hours. The third, he flings straight at the wall, and the solution (he can’t remember what it was, but what does that matter, when he can’t even focus?) trickles down the wallpaper, discoloring it as it goes. John’s going to kill him.
If he comes home.
No. Of course he will.
(Still worrying about what he said during the last one, Sherlock goes into heat while John's at work.) (Omegaverse)
**Mary
Last night he dreamt he went to Manderley again...

Rumour has it that Watson, owner of the grand country estate Manderley, is still haunted by the sudden death of his late wife. But as the young man soon learns, not all is as it seems.
Anytime
Sherlock blinks and attempts to focus. There is a little too much vodka in his veins at the moment and it’s having an unfortunate effect on his brain and retinas both. There are two Johns sitting across from him, and both of them are frowning at him.
“You’re drunk,” the Johns tell him.
Sherlock blinks some more. “Says the man with Mrs Hudson’s doily on his head.”
To Show You a Night
Sherlock's never had an orgasm before. John crafts a solution.
"I forgot how badly I wanted to fuck your mind.”
Bought and Paid For

Sherlock Holmes rents his services for the night as an escort to Mycroft's fancy party (and a thumb of the nose to his brother).

All the Flavours, Cherry and More
“Mm, what is that? You taste good.”
“Cherry lip gloss.”
“Fabulous. What other secrets do you have for me, then?”
Sherlock feels a blush rising to touch his cheeks, more sensual than uncomfortable now that he knows John isn't disgusted by him. No, John is responding exactly the way he had hoped.
go big or go home
John misunderstands, thinking that Sherlock is trying to build up John's self esteem because John's not a good lover.
(John's wrong. Obviously.)
Or, John completely misunderstands Sherlock's size kink.

TRANS!SHERLOCK, ALLUSIONS TO RAPE)

**The Affliction of Miss Violetta McDaniel
The card only had the young woman's name on it, Violetta McDaniel, and I remembered Holmes saying something about a person who does not include their address— I wasn't sure what to make of it. She might be a woman of ill repute. She might be a woman in need of help. (ACD HOLMES. VICTORIAN CROSSDRESSING, HOLY FUCK)

*Somatic Theory
“Sherlock, I think you may be on to something.” John tightened his fingers in Sherlock’s hair. “I won’t hit you,” John said, radiating calm control as he pulled hard on the sensitive strands, making him gasp in pain and surprise. “But I’m thinking hitting isn’t the only way to give you what you want. You want sensory input? I can get--” he pulled Sherlock’s head up and leaned closer-- ”Very--” he pulled his hair even harder-- “creative,” he whispered, licking the delicate curve at the top of his ear. (BDSM SERIES.)

*Silhouettes
Sherlock and John find comfort in each other's arms, but as ever with these two, it's not your typical relationship. It's fluffy at the beginning, gets deeply angsty in the middle, gets porny at the end. Tried to cover all my bases.

John and Sherlock tag along for NSY's weekly night out, where the evening's chosen drinking game is Never Have I Ever. Sherlock is reluctant to join in until he realizes he can learn all kinds of new things about John, but he forgets that John might learn a thing or two about him as well.
Scars
“You loved him.” Her voice was gentle as John turned startled eyes to her face. Her gaze hadn’t wavered. “Didn’t you.” It was not a question. “Of course you loved him. It’s all right to tell me.”
John’s hands had been locked together, his knuckles white in the lamplight. He’d cleared his throat, looking at them. “Yeah,” he’d said, his voice rough. “I did.”
“That’s got to stop.” Mary’s voice hadn’t changed, not precisely, or not in any outward way that he could detect, and yet it was completely different. She sounded entirely calm and still very gentle, but beneath that there was something new. Something rather like steel. (MANIPULATION. EVIL MARY. EXPLICIT RAPE SCENE. HOMOPHOBIA. READ WITH CAUTION.)
**Happiness Awaits

The Kepler Problem
Working in uncharted space exploration was not as exciting as John had hoped, especially when it turned out to be mostly bot maintenance on uninhabited planets. However, the mystery of the repeated, unexplained malfunctions on planet BAK 2212 might turn out to be exactly the kind of adventure he'd been craving.

truly, madly, deeply (Xiuhan)
Luhan has a tendency to come up behind Minseok during the most random and mundane of times, wrap his arms around his waist, and bury his nose into the soft, baby hairs at the base of the older’s neck and inhale, long and leisurely, hands soft and gentle, low on the other’s waist. He likes the warmth Minseok emanates, loves the cinnamon-and-musk scent he seems to have.

I'll Be Peter Pan (and You Just Be Pretty) (sutao)
When Joonmyun's parents told him to go out, join a club, make contacts, Joonmyun is pretty sure that they never meant EXO, and they certainly never meant Zitao. Somehow, he can't help himself from getting swept into their world, and he may have gotten in over his head. Secret society AU.

He won't, but he wants to.
The Stars Will Be Shining For You, My Dear (rapjin bts)
Seokjin feels too deeply and Namjoon too fleetingly, together they try to crash without burning.
five times jimin didn't know yoongi was in love with him and one time he did (yoonmin bts)
jimin and yoongi are stretched out on opposite ends of the soft couch in yoongi’s suite lounge, the length of the couch just short enough that their legs overlap, jimin’s heels digging into yoongi’s shins. after a crap day at work, his campus job in the cafeteria where, today, he had to swipe meal cards for four hours straight, sitting on a too-small stool next to the door, jimin can’t sit still. he keeps fidgeting while he’s rambling, pushing his heels deeper into yoongi’s legs, or jerking his body back so his calves smack against yoongi’s feet.
