Fake book cover for augustbird’s fic, Equilibirum.
Sherlock looks sad most days. John isn’t sure what Sherlock is sad about. He gives Sherlock hugs and says, “I love you,” a lot because those are things that would cheer John up.
Sherlock never says, “I love you,” back, though, which makes John sad. But then both he and Sherlock would be sad and that would just be too much sad in one room. (X)
I love that look when Sherlock just realizes.
#It’s the nerves of steel bit that always gets me. #Because he says it #and there’s John looking completely innocent #in his jumper next to a police car #all tidy and non-assuming #And Sherlock can just look and know #’I just described John Watson. My new friend.’ #and there was no turning back at that point for either of them.
#it’s when Sherlock just thinks #My god. I’ve only known this man for a day and a half and he has just killed a man for me #And he’s so surprised because no one has cared about him that much or done such a thing like this #and it confuses him #he doesn’t understand
I was going to say something. But then I re-read the tags. And impersonated the gif.
I used to feel like it took Sherlock forever to realize that it had to be John who shot the guy, and I used to be like, “YOU ARE SHERLOCK HOLMES. YOU ARE DESCRIBING YOUR FRIEND JOHN WATSON. REALIZE THIS.” And then I recognized that Sherlock had absolutely no reason to ever suspect that this man he’d just met would have killed a man for him. I feel like this is the moment when Sherlock thinks, “OMG, I have a friend. That man is my friend.”
This moment was when I knew I would love this show forever.
John’s sideways glance is so fantastic, very nothing to see here.
And I love it too because I’m pretty certain that Greg figured it out too after Sherlock just… fobs it off, and instead of arresting John, Greg just… Ooop, nothing to see here! He KNEW John was a good fit for Sherlock, and I think that’s neat.
Okay, so my ask was about fanfics where either John or Sherlock hallucinates and sees the other one after him (allegedly?) dying. As in, actually hallucinates, not mistakes a real one for a hallucination. Have you encountered anything like that?
Anonymous said to inevitably-johnlocked: hi! i hope you're doing fine! i feel really bad for asking, but i really suck at searching, and as i see everyone asking you, i wanted to see if you could help me, if you dont want to, its fine, i feel like im taking adventage of you... im searching for fics post TRF in which John hallucinates with Sherlock, or fics in which Sherlock comes back but John cannot believe it because he hallucinated with him ... im sorry again for bothering you! hope you have a nice day
Hi Lovelies!!
Ahhh, I don’t have a LOT that have this premise, so I’m just going to give you all of the fics I have tagged with hallucinations :) I do suggest “The Quiet Man”, which has this as the primary plot point (down below) and it’s a long one so I think that will best suit you requests, but DO check out all of the others on this list! <3
And as always, Lovelies, if you have something more to what my Nonnies are looking for, please suggest them!
HALLUCINATIONS
Hallucinations can't open doors by Bespectacled dreamer (K+, 1,330 w., 1 Ch. || Reunion, Hurt / Comfort, Friendship, Hallucinations, John’s Wedding, Light Humour) – In which John gets married and Sherlock gets a broken nose.
Quite Contrary by Hollyesque (T, 1,805 w., 1 Ch. || HLV Fic, Sherlock Whump / After Mary Shot Sherlock, Hallucinations / Flashbacks / PTSD, Hospitalization, Hurt/Comfort, Lestrade POV, ) – A short one-shot, alternate scene to Greg's hospital visit in HLV. Instead of Sherlock disappearing, Greg is faced with an unexpected reaction to a hospitalized Sherlock and winds up figuring out something that he really would have rather not known.
Bitter Nights Turned Sweet by Hyliare (T, 4,076 w., 1 Ch. || Pre-Slash, Insomnia/Hallucinations, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, POV Present Tense John Watson, Cuddling/Snuggling) – Sherlock has always had trouble sleeping; he hasn't always had someone in his life willing to help.
Between Asleep and Awake by katydidit (K, 4,309 w., 1 Ch. || Friendship, Sick Fic, Post-TRF / Reunion) – John is sick. Incredibly, extremely, dangerously sick. Plagued by a high fever, he begins to hallucinate, start seeing things that aren't really there. Because they can't be there. Can they?
A Is For Aftermath by ElvendorkInfinity (T, 10,567 w., 1 Ch. || Injury / Whump, Hurt/Comfort, Friendship/Pre-Slash/Bromance/Platonics, Hallucinations, Introspection, Insecure / Worried John, Big Brother Mycroft, Alternating POV, Anxious Sherlock, Self-Deprecating, Mildly Possessive Sherlock, 3G Moment) – John is still hallucinating, Sherlock cannot sleep, and Lestrade has a new case for them.

I Will Take Care Of You by SailorChibi (T, 16,664 w., 15 Ch. || Hurt/Comfort, Sick Sherlock, BAMF John, BAMF Lestrade, Reunion Fic) – Two years after Sherlock's death, John comes to find him on the sofa. Wounded and ill, Sherlock is convinced he's hallucinating and refuses to share any details about Moran or the fact that Mycroft has been compromised. That doesn't stop John from stepping up and taking care of the last of Moriarty's web, BAMF-style.
Wonderful, Etcetera. by VictoryCandescence (T, 16,955 w., 3 Ch. || Wonderful Life AU || Alternate Timelines, Brotherhood, Homophobia, Suicidal Ideations, Mentions of Drug Use, Friendship, Different TRF, Sherlock’s Past, Victor Trevor is Past Boyfriend, Depression, Hallucination?, Love Confessions, Christmas, First Kiss) – Sherlock thinks everyone would be better off if he had never existed, including and especially himself. When he finds himself in a world in which his wish has been granted, he begins to think perhaps even he could be wrong – but it takes an unlikely chaperone to make him not only observe, but understand.
I Think I've Come A Long Long Way To Sit Before You Here Today by ArwenKenobi (T, 18,251 w., 3 Ch. || Grief/Mourning, Passage of Time, Major Character Death, Alternating POV, Sherlock Whump, Pining Sherlock, Hospitalization, Coma, Revenge Murders, Hallucinations, Love Confessions, Brutal Accident, Mystrade, Ghost John) – One year after John is killed Sherlock starts to wonder whether John has actually gone anywhere.

He’s almost accepted that he will never see London (John) again—almost. But then there are nights like tonight, where he is weak, and all he can think of is the warmth of the flat they once shared, the crackle of the fire in the hearth, the teasing smile playing at the corner of John’s lips, the boxes of half-eaten Chinese takeaway balanced precariously in their laps. He aches at the memory of it, at the realisation that it is something he may never experience again.
Impossible to Feign by achray (M, 49,204 w., 12 Ch. || TRF Rewrite / Reverse Reichenbach, Suicidal Ideations / Discussions, Drug Use/Abuse, Mutual Pining, Friends With Benefits, John Accepts his Sexuality, Anxious Sherlock, Meddling Mycroft, Depression, Hallucinations, Secret Agent John, BAMF John, Reunion, Make-Up Sex, Ambiguous Ending) – Sherlock leant forward, his long fingers curving round to grip John’s.“I won’t let him win,” he said, eyes hard. “I will do whatever it takes to get you out.”

The dim light of the moon barely allowed Sherlock to see the glassy terror in John’s eyes and the sweat that glistened off his forehead. His nose was bleeding again, blood dripping in a slow stream from his right nostril. 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.
The Summer Boy by khorazir (T, 94,706 w., 6 Ch. || Post S3/Post TAB/Alternate S4, Friends to Lovers, Asexual Sherlock, POV Sherlock, Flashbacks, Bullying, 1980′s Kid Sherlock, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Inexperienced Sherlock, Grief/Mourning, Pining Sherlock, Case Fic, Sherlock’s Past, Awkward Conversations, Anxious Sherlock) – About half a year after the fateful events at Appledore, Sherlock and John embark on a private case in Sussex.

Ohh, thank you very much! I’m the first anon and I’m absolutely going to spend this night reading. You’re the best, Steph <3
alltingfinns said: Sort of linked: https://archiveofourown.org/works/655032/chapters/1193418 Lucid is about John somehow having vividly lucid dreams about Sherlock after the fall (when he gets the right amount of drunk, some suspension of disbelief required) and real Sherlock does eventually show up but at first it’s a dream version that John comforts himself with.
cyn2k said: I could have sworn I had bookmarked a fic, or a serries of fics, where John is drugged by Moriarty and has hallucinations from the drug for a long time afterwards, including one of an elephant outside the window of 221B, but I can't find it.
khorazir said: Thanks a lot for the rec :)
-------
Lucid by dr_girlfriend (E, 71,281 w., 32 Ch. || Post-TRF, Angst, Drama, Action, Hand-Holding, Slow Burn, Kinky Sex, Mild Torture, BAMF!John, Happy Ending) – The first time it happened was completely by accident.
-----
You’re SO welcome @gold-foil-deerstalker! I’m glad to entertain you!
And you are VERY welcome, @khorazir <3 I love your fics to pieces and try my best to remember what was in all of them <3
AND @cyn2k OH gosh, I THINK that might be this one:
THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF JOHN WATSON by skyefullofstars (T, 110,758 w., 24 Ch. || H/C, Kidnapping, Angst, Violence, Whump, Nightmares, Murder, Drug Addiction, Torture) – While Sherlock grapples with his new-found feelings for John Watson, he faces a very real threat: John's kidnapping and shooting at the hands of James Moriarty. And the knowledge that the love of his life is being used to test an addictive drug - at the risk of John's sanity and life. Prequel to THE BOYS OF BAKER STREET. Part 1 of THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF JOHN WATSON
-----
It’s been a long time since I’ve read it so my memory is a bit fuzzy on the details of it, but thinking it might be it. ALSO, Vapour Variant above had him hallucinating a lot, and I should have also linked to my two THoB fic lists, since many deal with the aftermath of John’s drugging:
THoB Fix It Fics
THoB Fics Pt. 2
So apologies for missing those. Feel free to add more, my lovelies!
Okay, so my ask was about fanfics where either John or Sherlock hallucinates and sees the other one after him (allegedly?) dying. As in, actually hallucinates, not mistakes a real one for a hallucination. Have you encountered anything like that?

After John recovers, he doesn't remember the incident at all. But Sherlock does. Confusion ensues.
What Meets the Eye by worldaccordingtofangirls (M, 8,251 w., 1 Ch. || Amnesia) – Amnesia is just another case to solve. Piece together unfamiliar faces, reconstruct the old identity, the lost reality. A challenge that Sherlock could even enjoy. He can read people like books. The man with the silver hair is his boss. The tottering old woman, his landlady. The girl with the worried look in her eyes…infatuated. And as for John Watson? His husband. Obviously.
Made for You by Raxicoricofallapatorious (K, 8,440 w., 1 Ch. || Friendship, Sci-Fi, Androids, Sherlock Called Freak) – When John was shot in the shoulder he was decommissioned and his memory and personality was wiped.

There's So Much Labour Just in Breathing Lately by Susan (E, 12,708 w., 1 Ch. || Post-TRF / Mentions of S3 Events, Romance, Angst, Grief/Mourning, Grieving John, Mutual Pining, Meddling Mycroft, Therapy, Ambiguous Hopeful Ending, Infidelity) – The dreams he hated most – the ones that left him a sweating, shaking mess when he woke – were the ones in which Sherlock was just Sherlock. Laughing or drinking tea. Sitting across the table from him at Angelo’s eating pasta. Trailing his open hand behind him on the way to the bedroom. “C’mon, John. I’m about to have my way with you.”
Lacuna by coloredink (E, 15,607 w., 1 Ch. || Angst, Consent Issues, Drama, Amnesia) – God, it must have been terrible, to think that he would never have this again.
All That I Am, All That I Was by KimberlyTheOwl (T, 18,590 w., 8 Ch. || Drama, Friendship, Amnesia) – Without his memories of his life and of his friends, who is John Watson? Unusual circumstances place John in a very special kind of danger, while Sherlock fights against fear, doubt, and government obstruction to get him back.
Among the Secret Things by Kate_Lear for coloredink (E, 26,073 w., 14 Ch. || Angst, Drama, Amnesia) – Sherlock would be the last person to describe himself as given to flights of fancy, but at the look on Lestrade’s face he could swear that something inside him curls up and dies.

The psychopath sister that time forgot. A missing woman and a mentalist who may or may not be a murderer. And, in the middle of it all, stands John Watson.
“The Heart of the Conspiracy”
Hey y’all :) I know some of us have been throwing around the idea of a TJLC tattoo, so I wanted to add my contribution: a heart made out of the letters tjlc.
The blue and red colors are chosen to resemble a diagram of a real human heart- twisty aorta (the cursive “L” at the top) and all- and to make it look like the cables from the traincar heart bomb in “The Empty Hearse”.
On a practical note: it’s simple, so it should be less expensive and easier to replicate. It’s also pretty flexible- it could be different colors or plain black, with the space between letters or without, depending on what you’re looking for (the one I drew on my wrist being an extremely simple and discreet example).
Hope you like it, tell me what you think!!! <3

“Did Sherlock really forgive Mary for the events in HLV?” No, and here’s why.
When Mary shoots Sherlock, he gives her a way out. She has legitimately no reason to refuse his help in this moment. Absolutely none. Please, enlighten me if you can think of one.
[Mary]: Oh, if you take one more step, Sherlock, I swear I will kill you.
[Sherlock] “No, Mrs Watson. You won’t.”
It’s an appeal to the side of her that loves John Watson. That’s why he says that, and not “Mary”. Because she has seen what John went through when Sherlock supposedly committed suicide and he assumes she won’t let John go through that again. But when he takes that step, after he saw the flurry of deductions around her head all dissolve into the word liar and was still offering his help, she shoots him in the chest.
Now, we’ve seen that his retelling of this doesn’t match up with what actually happened (i.e. she was still pointing the gun at Magnussen when he lost consciousness and was, you know, dying). Also, we know that he never mentions to John that she threatened him, he never says that he offered his help and that she shot him anyway. But what we also know is that he never does a second set of deductions to get those other words back. He’s lying in the hospital and still only sees the word liar. She threatens him while he’s lying there, vulnerable. Who else did that in a deleted scene? Magnussen. A villain. (Another “M”!). He walks around her in his mind palace and she looks on coldly. A villain’s stance with an unsettling stare.
Another thing, when Sherlock goes to find John in his mind palace (Mary is automatically associated with John, there is no other reason for her to be in that wing of his mind palace in the place which looks identical to where John saved his life in ASiP), Mary is wearing her wedding dress and shoots him in the chest once again. He’s screaming in pain here. She did that to him. He flatlines. There’s nothing redeemable about her actions.
And when she says “.. and I would lose him forever. And Sherlock, there is nothing in this world I would not do to stop that happening.” It is a look of disgust on his face. Because her love is not selfless. She is willing to lie and lie just to keep someone. She’s willing to kill Sherlock and put John through hell again just to keep him. That is not healthy or romantic.
As Amanda Abbington so helpfully put it: “she’s a psychopath!”
And Steven Moffat: “… she’s just been revealed to be a villain!”
So, are we all of a sudden meant to assume that Sherlock forgave her? That John forgave her? Of course not.
(Also, Season 4 is fake.)
Oh gosh I’m SO with you on this one. I’ve written a tonne of meta as to why Mary is a villain and why Sherlock is scared of her /hasn’t forgiven her.
And yeah, all evidence points to S4 being fake, to me anyway :P

Welp this is canon lmao
there we go.
Mmmm-hmm.
got damn mofftiss and their long term plan!!!!!!!
OF COURSE they knew the three garridebs wouldn’t be in the public domain until 2020. and OF COURSE they wanted the love confession to be that since they’re always going on about how it is their favourite bit. they planned this whole thing and now we have the escape room and monthly episode screenings to keep people interested until the curtain rises and we are ready to begin.
and not only are they righting the thing that ‘everyone got wrong’ which isn’t the romance (if anything that’s what people have been getting Right even if no one has had the guts to make it explicit) but the unreliable narration AND they created the backlash by apparently killing sherlock the show in the final problem like doyle did.
it’s so obvious now what the entire hell hindsight is 20/20.
Garridebs is also 2020 :)
G-d we were rly robbed w the complexities we could have gotten from a trans John. Him having beef w the medical field, his relationship w Harry and the unique dynamic and nuances of having another LGBT sibling, wanting be seen as strong and powerful bc ppl had denied him his masculinity, his relationship w his parents and why he doesn’t talk abt them, an explanation for his erratic characterization, the layers behind his interactions with other characters, like… WE COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL
Anyway, here’s a numbered list of evidence that John is trans just off the top of my head/from memory. Bee said “Fuck Mofftiss lives!”
1.) Me, referring to both John’s clothing and also how his attitude changes around different ppl depending on how close they are to him: THE LAYERS
1A.) John around Mycroft and Moriarty, who is he not close with: stoic and aggressive, acts gruff, stands to make himself as tall as possible, gives short answers, usually keeps a distance, only being physical if its to be violent
1B.) John around Sherlock and Mary, who he loves and trusts: laughs a lot, makes jokes and goes on talking for long periods of time, slouching and not caring abt his size, acts softer and is physical in a friendly/tender way
1C.) John around mike (who he possibly knew before he came out) and Greg (who is a work acquaintance who he isn’t super close to): acts very tense, making flat jokes and forcing conversations abt generic things, keeps his voice monotonous *
* When I say that he isn’t close to Greg, I’m talking more abt seasons ½. I consider the Many Happy Returns minisode in between 2 and 3 to be the point when they’re genuinely friends.
1D.) Circling back to the clothes! He wears layers upon layers. Always jumpers and jackets and button ups no matter what the weather, never wears shorts, so he has a visible habit of hiding his body
2.) John in blind banker: making it a point to show off him pulling girls to sleep w in front of Sherlock, at a point where they are still not super close. This establishes him feeling a need to play an alpha male role even tho no one is threatening or questioning his place in that position. An insecurity of his masculinity around strangers
John later in the series: reveals that he isn’t actually having sex when he’s at Sarah’s, and doesn’t even sleep in the same room as her but instead on the couch. This shows him denying her access to his body, which could come from a fear of her being transphobic and lashing out
3.) Sherlock makes fun of Moriarty for being short, but Moriarty is actually TALLER than John. Sherlock makes fun of John for a LOT, but he NEVER teases abt John’s height. Sherlock knows that pointing out John’s height makes him dysphoric
4.) John’s first real sit down with Sherlock could also be evidence bc John is hesitantly assessing Sherlock’s stance on lgbt ppl (ever had a gf? ….. bf?), smth he would have to know before deciding to live w him
5.) Also Sherlock w that “u dislike ur sister” bullshit… John LOVES Harry and they talk all the time if u read his blog the comments are always sib city. He is consistently excited to catch up w her and is disappointed when they can’t. But there COULD be a tension w Harry bc she’s his sister and could be awkward for him to see what he might have looked like if he hadn’t transitioned. This could be why he didn’t stay w her when he was invalided, bc he was ALREADY in a position where he was feeling insecure
It’s all right there, ppl! Open your eyes!
anyway Sherlock Holmes is public domain so catch me writing a story in which Holmes’ seemingly timeless nature is explained in canon as Holmes being a restless preternatural entity discovered (summoned?) by the original Dr. Watson, who acted as its companion/custodian as it careened around doing the only thing that could preoccupy its wildly inhuman mind, ie, getting all up in people’s business and freaking them out with how much shit it knows.
the Holmes entity can die, but always reappears within a generation and without fail seeking out the latest in the Watson line. the Watsons, grown savvy over time, now devote much of their time to a.) preparing the younger members of the family for Holmes’ inevitable return or b.) desperately trying to get the hell out of dodge and live a normal life before it can happen to them as well.
just uuuuh. like a very knowing story about the inevitability of the Holmes and Watson story, centered a creepily inhuman Holmes and the long-suffering family who have spent more than a century documenting it.
OP, please, please, please write this. I will buy and read the shit out of this.
