I have decided to make a rec list which I will add to in the future because this is just the beginning! :D (Bolded are my definite recommends)

Tiebreaker by earlgreytea68

Right Hand Man by SilentAuror
When John’s left arm becomes paralysed after a car accident, Mary asks Sherlock to take him back to Baker Street to recuperate, as she’s about to give birth. Despite the fact that the search for Moriarty is ongoing, Sherlock takes John in and takes responsibility for overseeing his rehabilitation as he adjusts to the loss of his arm. (Also fluffy and smutty)

Mycroft Doesn’t Control the Weather… by HumsHappily
Sherlock followed him over like a lost puppy, vibrating with impatience as Jaime rummaged through the box, eventually pulling out a soft velvet bag. “Look, see?” Jaime said, opening the strings with gnarled, scratchy hands. The kilt pin slid into his hands, the silver slightly tarnished with disuse, but the Watson crest was visible before Jaime turned it over. “Now, this bit here is what I was talkin’ about. It’s personalized. “To John, From Hamish. Never forget yer ol’ granda. Glasgow, 1984.”
Ambient Noise by berlynn_wohl

Hitting the Water at Sixty Miles an Hour by what_alchemy

To The Sticking Place by blueink3
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? (One of my favourite fics ever!)
“I must learn at once every noise that your lungs and throat are capable of producing. Would you prefer to stand up or lie down while I do this?” (SMUTTY)
Apprehension by BashfulBunny
John and Sherlock have never met and don’t know each other. For some reason John kidnaps Sherlock. John is protective. When he realises that he, in fact, has done a really bad thing, he saves Sherlock and wants to take him back where he’d taken him. But he won’t be able to get rid of Sherlock easily, or at all for that matter. Sherlock won’t go.
Landslide by Fandoms_Unite

How will Ava handle having two dads?

Imagine That by BlueBoringer
Being in the imaginary friends business was tough, but John Watson was the best of the imaginary best friends, which is exactly why he was appointed to be the friend of a stubborn, lonely, dark haired child called William Sherlock Scott Holmes.
Red by Johnlocked_in_221B
“Each soul is connect by a single red thread that never breaks and would cause extreme heartache to the soul’s whose mates died. The thread wearers were connected to the one soul that they would always belong to, or fit perfectly with. Many swore to never love again after their mate had died and threads slowly disappeared. The threads weren’t physical, you couldn’t touch them but they were seen and felt by the heart. When a child is born, and the red thread is clearly visible, it is a time for celebration because the threads mostly develop at a later age. Everyone could see their threads.
Everyone, but Sherlock Holmes.”
Blond Barista Seeks Dashing Ballet Dancer: Inquire Within by prettysailorsoldier
Between classes, his job at a local cafe, and being captain of the rugby team, John Watson’s life is plenty stressful enough without the addition of a mysterious ballet dancer he can see through the windows of the dance studio across the street, but, somehow, he can’t bring himself to mind.
Little Notes by Antecedent
When the first note comes, Sherlock expects it to be unpleasant. Something rude, most likely someone complaining about the chemical smell from the broken beaker on the carpet accident, or, even more likely than that, someone complaining about his excessive violin playing at three in the morning when he can’t sleep, or he’s just bored.
He hardly believes his eyes when he reads the actual note that was slipped under his doorstep at midnight on a Saturday.
'Could you play Bach’s Violin Sonata No. 3 in C Major, BWV 1005 please? Preferably the Allegro. You play beautifully.’

Like Coming Home by NokomisKrys

Parallel by brbsoulnomming
There’s a case at a University, some series of threats or string of bizarre murders that has the entire campus shaken. In the course of the investigation, Sherlock and John meet two students. One is well liked if not popular, athletic, intelligent without showing off. The other is a loner with no regard for social norms, an insufferable genius, always in the chem lab.
Sherlock and John are responsible for these two meeting. And, because they both want to help with the investigation, they get to watch them become friends and fall a little in love. And that makes them feel things about themselves that they’ve been working very hard to not feel, thank you.
