Hi Nonny!Â
I actually currently have a bed-sharing fic rec list here so you can check that out there! Here are some others I donât have on that list that Iâm currently sorting:
Feel your breathing by Mixxy (T, 2,129 w. || Post-TRF, Cuddling, Separation Anxiety, Platonics) â And he was numb yet feeling far too much, he was back on that pavement, and his mind was buzzing far too hard, whispering you didnât do it in time, Mrs. Hudson is dead, Lestrade is dead, your John is dead dead dead- And then Johnâs hand was around his wrist, thumb rubbing over his pulse point, and Sherlockâs not sure if it was to comfort him or John but either way it worked.
Turn the key, and come home by TooManyChoices (M, 2,718 w. || Angst/Humour, First Time/Kiss, Happy Ending) â Sherlock and John have been dancing around whatâs between them for years. Will John return to Baker Street, and if so, will things ever be the same?
Lie-In by scullyseviltwin (E, 2,540 w. || Bed Sharing, Morning After, Fluff) â âI canât believe you drank an entire bottle of wine.â
Assurance by belovedmuerto (T, 2,382 w. || Bed-Sharing, Friends to Lovers, Fluff, Idiots in Love) â Itâs not so much the âyouâre half-dead, you wanker,â or even the broken ribs, the hairline fracture of the pelvis, the dislocated shoulder and knee, and the wrenched ankle.
Affirmation by jamlockk (E, 3,096 w. || First Time, Dev. Rel., PWP, Love Declarations, Emotional Sherlock, Comforting John, Gross Fluff) â âSunlight dappled Johnâs skin, casting a glow across his spreadeagled form as he dozed among the rumpled sheets. Sherlock knew the expression on his face was hopelessly soft but for once did not care about showing his true feelings so openly. He simply stood there, in the doorway, gazing at the impossibly beautiful man currently snuffling softly in his slumber.â Part 8 of All the ways we love
It Was All Right There In Front of Him (A Five Times Plus One Story) by bees_stories (T, 3,191 w. || 5+1, Protective Idiots, Grooming, Bed Sharing, Lestrade POV) â DI Greg Lestrade is a good detective. But sometimes he doesnât trust the evidence in front of him, until thereâs a compelling reason to do so.
Acceptable Behaviour by bbcatemysoul (M, 3,449 w. || Fluff, Dev. Rel., Miscommunication, First Time) â Sherlock isnât really sure why John wants to shag him, but heâs certain that if heâs careful to behave properly about it, John can be persuaded to keep doing it. In other news, John is a good boyfriend and Sherlock is an idiot.
One Day Like This by nondeducible (E, 4,872 w. || First Time, Bed-Sharing, Romance, Fluff, Virgin Sherlock) â When Sherlock emerged from the bathroom, the sight before him nearly took his breath away. The only light in the room was the small lamp on the bedside table. Johnâs skin shone like gold, his hair like the purest silver. He was on his side, facing the empty part of the bed, his outstretched hands ready to embrace whoever climbed in next to him. Sherlock could imagine, just for a second, that this was their shared bed and he was coming back to settle into Johnâs arms.
Bed-Sharing Between Flatmates by testosterone_tea (T, 5,053 w. || 5 and Ones, Bed Sharing, PTSD John, Science, Whump, Insecure Sherlock) â 5 times Sherlock had an excuse to share Johnâs bed, and the one time he didnât need one.

To his astonishment, he finds that spending the night next to John helps him sleep and becomes determined to maneuver himself back into Johnâs bed.

They get wet, get tied up close and John has to step up and save them. Because heâs pretty. And hot. And just a little bit of a BAMF.
Bedtime Stories by Liketheriver (M, 34,388 w. || Emotional H/C, Romance, Angst & Humour, Bed Sharing, John First Person, TRF, John Whump) â Johnâs POV during Season 2 and beyond when Sherlock takes up semi-permanent residence in his bed. A collection of codas and missing scenes wrapped up into one long fic and topped with a bow that takes the story beyond Reichenbach and into happy territory once more. Part 1 of Bedtime Universe
As for self-depricating Sherlock, Gosh, this is something I really like too, but I think when I was sorting I classed it under my âpiningâ category⌠Let me see if I can find any off hand (Sorry if there are repeats; a lot of the ones I have are bed-sharing fics). Note that these are the ones that are tagged; I probably have more but havenât sorted them yet:

The Marriage Proposal Negotiation by Goddess_of_the_Night (G, 2,161 w. || Dev. Rel., Possessive Sherlock, Insecure Sherlock, Fluff, First Kiss, Post Mary) â Sherlock hasnât ever really done anything the traditional way, so of course it wouldnât bother him to propose to John even though theyâre not even dating. And the fact that John is already on a date with someone else when he decides to do it? Tedious.
Affirmation by jamlockk (E, 3,096 w. || First Time, Dev. Rel., PWP, Love Declarations, Emotional Sherlock, Comforting John, Gross Fluff) â âSunlight dappled Johnâs skin, casting a glow across his spreadeagled form as he dozed among the rumpled sheets.

You love the cottage,â John glances over to the passenger seat, then quickly turns his eyes back to the road. Driving was still not his forte, but considering Sherlock still couldnât properly bend and lift his new knee enough to press and release the clutch, he had to make do. Not that Sherlock hadnât tried to argue his way into the driverâs seat. âI love the cottage for a week or two, John. Donât be deliberately obstuse,â Sherlock grumbles, sinking further in his seat. Well, as best he can with a four-week-old knee replacement. âAnd thatâs all weâre going for, love,â John says out loud. But what heâs thinking is, shit. He knows.
In Which âJohnâ Becomes a Synonym for âHelpâ by asignoftwo (T, 7391 w. || Injured John, Worried Sherlock, Fluff) â Â After the fall Sherlock returns to Baker Street and is reunited with John.
