listen. it’s 2018. it’s time to admit, finally, that bbc sherlock is, in fact, bad, and was only good because we watched it when we were 15 and didn’t know how to dismantle scripts that SOUND clever but are really just gold-flake covered shit

Bottom John Fic Recs

So @inevitably-johnlocked had an ask looking for Bottom John. Here’s a list of both bottom John and switchlock for your enjoyment. There’s a bit of omegaverse here, because I like omegaverse ;-)

Radioactive Trees In A Red Forest by Maribor_Petrichor

John Watson is what happens when a man can no longer see a reason to go on.

John Watson is what happens when a man starts to let go.

“It is what it is.”

John Watson is what happens when what “it is” becomes too much to bear.

This is a story of the life, death, and resurrection of John Hamish Watson.

Distractions by allonsys_girl

Sherlock’s on a stakeout and John’s very pretty - distractions ensue

Wasted Hours by songlin

John is respectful. John keeps his distance. He doesn’t look at Sherlock when Sherlock decides trousers are for dull people. He doesn’t breathe in and savor it when Sherlock flings himself onto the couch first thing in the morning, wafting alpha scent, dressing gown settling around him in a cloud of blue silk. He doesn’t linger when he’s piecing Sherlock back together after a fight, even though he’s half-dressed and beautiful and right there.

He can ignore it. He can control it.

For the Discriminating Alpha by alexxphoenix42

When Sherlock agrees to take on the owner of a porn site featuring male Omegas as a client, it only makes sense he click through the website for research. Sherlock was absolutely not expecting to find one of the porn stars so utterly riveting. Relationships, heats, bonding, meh - it’s just not his area.

A Fold in the Universe by darkest_bird

Alpha Sherlock and Omega John are in a relationship. Prime Sherlock and Prime John are not. So what happens when a freak fold in the universe switches one John for the other?

Tempered Steel by MyFirstistheFourth

Sherlock struggles with being a mate. John faces an unknown desire. While an enemy seeks to destroy a bond and the men who share it. Alpha/Omega dynamics. Angst and Feels abound but All Shall Be Well Friends! Mature for now but may be Explicit in later chapters.

Guilty Secrets by Ellipsical

John has a prostate exam and discovers something surprising about himself. Experimentation follows. Sherlock wants to help. They’re in love. You know the drill.

Northwest Passage by Kryptaria

Seven years ago, Captain John Watson of the Canadian Forces Medical Service withdrew from society, seeking a simple, isolated life in the distant northern wilderness of Canada. Though he survives from one day to the next, he doesn’t truly live until someone from his dark past calls in a favor and turns his world upside-down with the introduction of Sherlock Holmes.

26 Pieces by Lanning

Mycroft gives Sherlock the apparently simple task of solving a puzzle box containing a stolen microchip. It isn’t simple.

Longing to Belong by couchbarnacle

Sometimes finding your place in the world is a longer and rougher journey than you could ever imagine. Thankfully, you find the people to help you through it along the way.

Sherlock and John grow up with all of their hopes and dreams pulled out from under them forcing the pair to work through a pile of crap to find each other.

Secrets and Revelations by Hisstah

Dr John Watson has some major secrets that he’s kept from his flatmate, Alpha Sentinel Sherlock Holmes. Now the Sentinel Tower is after him. Can John stay out of their hands until he can reveal his secrets to Sherlock?

The Guarded Secret by mycapeisplaid

After his war injury, John feels broken, small, and useless. On a whim, he takes a position as a security guard of sorts at the gorgeous Holmes Hall in Yorkshire. As it turns out, he is not as broken, small, or useless as he thinks. A story of beauty and blossom, murder and mystery, loss and love.

More Things Than Are Dreamt Of by 1electricpirate

In which John is (reluctantly) a wizard, Mycroft is (apparently) omniscient, and Sherlock is (surprisingly) oblivious.

Performance in a Leading Role by Mad_Lori

Sherlock Holmes is an Oscar winner in the midst of a career slump. John Watson is an Everyman actor trapped in the rom-com ghetto. When they are cast as a gay couple in a new independent drama, will they surprise each other? Will their on-screen romance make its way into the real world?

Colors by Quesarasara

Everyone on earth is born with eyes that see in black, white, and an endless series of greys.

When you meet your soulmate, you finally see the world in color.

We’re all searching for the person who brings color to our lives.

John and Sherlock are no exception.

Triage by scullyseviltwin

Sherlock’s mind goes exceedingly, devastatingly quiet and gray-blank. When he speaks it’s through a thick haze, it’s through molasses, he’s so disconnected from the words that it may as well be the unconscious shooter speaking.

“It was only a twenty-two,” he says, voice unfeeling and unwavering, as though that makes any sense at all.

Man and Beast by Jupiter_Ash

Written for this prompt here. Sherlock is a werewolf who is captured by a facility which wants to experiment on him. When John is placed into his cage they expect Sherlock to attack him, but instead, he tries to mate with John.

Seven Moons by ladyflowdi

“This is happiness?” John asks, utterly heartsick, holding up his wrists and rattling the chains. “You’ve sold me for six gold mines and protection along the northern border.”

One Starry Night by janto321 (FaceofMer)

Werewolf John Watson has an encounter with vampire Sherlock as he goes into heat. And it leads places neither of them expected.

Thank you so much for the rec!! I’m so flattered!

The ladies of Sherlock + text posts

msdisdain

(Gloriously beautiful art commissioned from @willietheplaidjacket, based on @roquentine19’s favorite picture of BC. And then I wrote a ficlet based on it for this month’s @hiatustory prompt, bed sharing.)

He had been walking the shadowed streets of Edinburgh for hours, and the problem remained unsolved:

He was a coward.

It had been the perfect accidental setup. Their train had been severely delayed, and they’d arrived at the hotel far past their guaranteed reservation time. The only room left contained one queen bed. They’d taken it, of course; what choice did they have? It’s not as if they hadn’t done it before. Well, Before. Which was the problem. Everything had been Before, and now it was After, and there had never been a During.

Sherlock desperately wanted a During with John, and sometimes he thought maybe John wanted it too. There had been several moments over the last few months where he thought John was about to say Something, but there was always an interruption in the form of Rosie or Mrs. Hudson or a text from Lestrade, and the moments had all passed. But there was no couch or chair in their tiny hotel room, and barely any floor space, so they’d have no choice but to share the bed and maybe this thing that Sherlock so desperately wanted might…happen.

So naturally when John had gone into the shower, Sherlock had thrown on the Belstaff and fled.

Where’d you go?

Needed a walk. Don’t wait up. –SH

Then Sherlock had walked, and walked, and walked. He’d stopped at one point and had two fingers of Scotch in a pub, and then he’d walked some more. He was cold and he was tired and he was lonely and he was so, so afraid. He was afraid of going back to the room and he was afraid of staying away; he was afraid of John finding out and afraid of holding this secret close to his chest forever.

He was afraid that John would decide Rosie needed a mother, or that Sherlock was unfit to be in Rosie’s life. He was afraid that now that he’d realized how lonely he was, he would never be anything else.

He wasn’t used to being afraid, but everything having to do with John Watson was a rare exception to the way he lived the rest of his life.

He took a deep breath, turned the key in the lock, and pushed open the hotel room door. He would use the bathroom, put on his pajamas, and just…get into the bed.

The room was dimly lit by both the bedside lamp John had obviously left on for him and the television that was quietly displaying the end of Rear Window, and John was asleep. His head was at the foot of the bed–wanted to be closer to the screen without having to sit in the desk chair–and he was sprawled out on his back–fell asleep watching the movie on his stomach; flipped over to his customary sleeping position sometime after. Sherlock found himself crossing not to the bathroom as he’d intended, but directly to the bed, where he stared down at the wonder that was John Watson.

Sherlock relished the rare chance to look his fill unnoticed. John was always beautiful to him, but in sleep, with his edges softened and his cares laid aside, he was at once the entire world and the only thing Sherlock had ever truly wanted. It was so easy to imagine crawling in beside him and curling up with his head on John’s good shoulder, letting their breathing patterns syncopate as they slept. It was equally easy to imagine waking John with his mouth, either with a gentle kiss on the lips or by tugging down his pants and–

John stretched in his sleep, one hand coming up behind his head, and as the muscles in his bicep shifted, Sherlock swallowed hard. He’d spent hours, days, years cataloging everything those hands could do, and twice that time fantasizing about the things he wanted them to do. He let out a quiet sigh, briefly letting his eyes fall shut as he thought about the way John’s hands might feel on his skin.

When he opened them again, John was gazing up at him.

It was too late to school the emotions away from his face, and he knew that everything he felt was plainly visible for John to see. He was so tired of hiding, so tired of running. John would see, and John would react, and at least then Sherlock would finally know. He was so wrapped up in this revelation that it took him a long moment to see that John, too, was done hiding.

And the world, at last, fell away.

Sherlock doesn’t approve of embellishing how incredible a person is, so in The Sign of Three, all of those poetic things he says about John are exactly what he really thinks. He doesn’t think he’s being romantic because he’s just saying the truth. This is why when the audience (and John) are crying after Sherlock’s speech, he seems confused. Almost like ‘Why are you all doing that? I’m just saying how he is.’ He doesn’t realize how in love he seems on the outside.

In the lives of the saddest of us, there are bright days like this, when we feel as if we could take the great world in our arms and kiss it. Then come the gloomy hours, when the fire will neither burn on our hearths nor in our hearts; and all without and within is dismal, cold, and dark. [insp 1/2]

I CAN’T WAIT FOR SERIES 3 FOR MUCH LONGER !!!

roane72

I have a unique opportunity, given my freelance status, to move to Canada. This is something I've thought about for years and am finally looking at the chance to make the leap and do it. There are a lot of reasons why this is a good idea for me: moving to a place that's safer for me, a much lower...

I’ve talked about moving to Canada for ages, and now I have a chance to do it. With the government changes here–especially with the likely repeal of the ACA, I’m looking at losing access to healthcare if I stay, and given my mental health issues and PCOS, I can’t get by that way.

Because I’m self-employed, and because I’m employed in the arts, this makes emigrating a LOT easier than it would ordinarily be. I’m looking at moving to a place where I already know people, and all around it’s a perfect opportunity for me.

The problem is, this opportunity’s come up kind of quick, and at a time when I don’t have a lot of ready cash on hand to pay for moving expenses. Anything I can raise will help pay for things like my apartment deposit, and the cost of moving my things across an international border.

I hate like hell to do this, but given the slow paying publishing industry, it’s not like I can do more work and raise the money in a hurry. Literally anything will help, even a reblog if you can’t donate.

Thank you!

John is planning to propose to Sherlock, but he doesn’t know how to do it yet . Once he and Sherlock are talking and John calls Sherlock “William”. Sherlock hates it.

“You will do as I say, William” “Sherlock!” “Scott” says John provocative. “Holmes” indulges Sherlock, rolling his eyes. “Watson?” adds John,out of the blue, taking the ring. And he leaves Sherlock in shock for like five minutes, before he’s able to whisper “Yes”.
