It isn’t always easy assisting a deaf detective. Luckily for John, they make a pretty good team.

Hi Nonny!
Ahh, yes, I actually have done a list before, but let’s update it since I have read a couple more since then :) Feel free, Loves, to add your own recs!

Deaf Fics (Alexx’s List)
New World, Old Words by thedeafwriter (G, 641 w. || Deaf Sherlock, Sherlock Whump, Pining Sherlock, Marriage Proposal, Fluff, Always John) – It was disconcerting to experience. One second, he was laying on the table, breathing in the gas that would make him sleep, the next, he was dragging his eyes open to look around the bright room, trying to wake up.
Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil by PipMer (T, 1,895 w. || Deaf John, Mute Sherlock, Friends to Lovers, Romance, Fluff and Angst, Character Study, Morse Code, Love Confessions) – John is deaf. Sherlock is mute. There are no two people more suited for each other.
Idle Hands by kinklock (E, 7,226 w. || Deaf Sherlock, Phone Sex, Alternate First Meeting, Dirty Sign Language) – While working as a video sign language interpreter for the deaf, John’s last client of the day asks him to interpret a highly unusual call. (aka deaf Sherlock wants to call a phone sex hotline AU)
Signed in Love by Jberry (E, 8,850 w. || Deaf Sherlock, Enemies to Friends to Lovers, Time Jumps, Alternate First Meeting) – Three Continents Watson meets Deaf Sign Language Interpreter Sherlock Holmes at a medical conference. They clash, mostly due to John being trash. (haven’t read this yet, so read at your own discretion)
Speaker for the Bees by antietamfalls (M, 14,649 w. || Deaf Sherlock, Friends to Lovers, First Kiss / Time, Fluff, Sign Language) – It isn’t always easy assisting a deaf detective. Luckily for John, they make a pretty good team.

Sherlock Fic Recs: [1] [2] [3] [4] Here’s a Fic Masterlist for my other fandoms. ( ** = favorites )
**And A Doctor by stillwaters01
Word count: 24,962 (6/6)
Summary: It was only when people actually saw John working as a physician that they began to understand: that it wasn’t just about bullets and IEDs and trauma care under fire. That “doctor” actually covered a pretty wide field. And that John was bloody good at covering ground. 5 times Dr. Watson treated others and 1 time he treated himself.
Man and Beast by Jupiter_Ash
Word count: 19,914 (1/1)
Summary: 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.
**EMERGENCY CONTACT: Sherlock Holmes, RELATIONSHIP: n/a by blueink3
Word count: 5,534 (1/1)
Summary: The first time John Watson’s emergency contact is called is the first time Sherlock Holmes finds out that he has the job.
Comments: Part 1/2 of The Emergency Contact Series.
EMERGENCY CONTACT: John Watson, RELATIONSHIP: Saint by blueink3
Word count: 6,229 (1/1)
Summary: The first time Sherlock Holmes realizes he needs an emergency contact is the first time he mentally appoints John Watson with the job.
John, of course, does not know this and neither does the local hospital.
Comments: Part 2/2 of The Emergency Contact Series.
Very Good Indeed by stillwaters01
Word count: 4,144 (1/1)
Summary: John Watson was a doctor, trained to observe details; a fact Sherlock had never been more aware of than when a drugged John’s lifesaving instructions were based on an unlabeled syringe and an unconscious murder suspect’s body.
**The Republic of Heaven by Blind_Author
Word count: 121,534 (15/?)
Summary: His Dark Materials AU. John and his dæmon, Amarisa, have never quite fit in, largely because she settled as a wolfdog. Sherlock and Raniel are similarly isolated, mostly because the woman they call Mummy is a witch. These two men and their dæmons end up sharing a flat together and the rest, as they say, is history. And with a witch-clan out for John's blood and a man known as Moriarty emerging from the shadows, they're certainly not going to be bored.
Comments: My most favorite Sherlock fic of all time! Part 1 of a series.
The Autumn Moon is Bright by barrowjane
Word count: 23,935 (3/3)
Summary: John has two secrets he keeps from Sherlock - he manages this, he thinks, only because Sherlock would find the idea that John is attracted to him just as unlikely as the idea of John being a werewolf. He's not sure what it says about his life, that love and lycanthropy are considered equally impossible events.
**Helpless by ivyblossom
Word count: 12,745 (17/17)
Summary: John, ever the good doctor, notices something not quite right about Sherlock. Biopsy, diagnosis, surgery, and radiation: Sherlock lives through thyroid cancer treatment. Think that's in poor taste? I actually kind of agree with you. This fic is written by a thyroid cancer survivor (me!) for a thyroid cancer survivor going through treatment round two. Its purpose in life is to stamp all over the nasty experience with slashy goodness. I have inserted shippy joy all over the experience, wherever I could. This is a hurt/comfort cancer story wrapped in loviness, sexytimes, and "how they got together" fun for a friend who really needs something else to think about whilst in radioative isolation. Apologies to anyone offended.
Speaker for the Bees by antiemtamfalls
Word count: 14,649 (3/3)
Summary: It isn't always easy assisting a deaf detective. Luckily for John, they make a pretty good team.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics by entanglednow
Word count: 3,614 (1/1)
Summary: In which there's no heating and there's a dead owl in Sherlock's bed.
Comments: Part 1/4 of the Thermodynamics series. Lots of cuddles.

This Johnlock story is definitely Not Safe For Work. You will laugh you way through reading it.
