Someone is targeting the LGBTQA+ members of Bill's unit. John and Sherlock go undercover at the unit, but when they end up having to flirt to flush out the suspect, Sherlock realizes he's in over his head.

Fallen Series by Belladonna_Q, mamishka (T, 222,094 w. across 3 works || Winglock || Angel!John, Angels & Demons, Faes, Christianity, Changelings) – In a world where myth, mystery, and the supernatural flourish beneath the veneer of modern civilization, Sherlock is a master of magic as well as science and deduction. But there are some things that he cannot see, riddles he cannot unravel, even when they walk right beside him in the form of one John Watson…

The Slow Dance and Death of a Carbon Copy by batslikepastel (T, 15,576 w., 8 Ch. || Angst with Happy Ending, Mutual Pining, Mental Health Issues, Mary is Not Nice, Idiots in Love, Eventual Fluff, Developing Relationship, Alcoholism, Love Confessions, BAMF John, First Kiss) – He hasn’t talked to Sherlock outside the bedroom since that first night. Today, though, when Sherlock painstakingly makes John’s favourite breakfast- eggs Benedict- he smiles delightedly and kisses his cheek. “Thanks, Mary.” The first sign of delusion.

Domestic Matters by ohlooktheresabee (M, 29,404 w., 6 Ch. || Fantasy AU || First Meetings, Developing Relationship, Fluff and Angst, Domestic Fluff, BAMF Sherlock, BAMF John, Idiots in Love, Misunderstandings, Supernatural Elements, Implied / Referenced Child Abuse, Elf Sherlock, Human/Elf Politics, Emotional Abuse, Possessive Sherlock, Anxious Sherlock, Buddy Greg) – All flatmates need to work out domestic matters between them - who does the dishes, who takes out the rubbish, how often does the carpet need to be vacuumed - these are part and parcel of sharing a living space together. However, when you’re an elf and your flatmate is going to be a human you just met, this rather complicates things…Very loosely inspired by 'The Elves and The Shoemaker' by The Brothers Grimm.

Winter’s Storm by LoloLolly (M, 51,812 w., 11 Ch. || Canon Compliant Through TFP/S4 Is Canon, Alternating POV,  Established / New Relationship, Parentlock with Rosie, Explicit Torture, Mentions of Sherlock’s PTSD, Mentions of Human Trafficking, References to Child Abuse, Violence, Kidnapping, Captivity, Angst with Happy Ending, Fluff, Case Fic, BAMF / Soldier John, Sherlock Whump, Mycroft and John Work Together, Marriage Proposal, Autistic Sherlock, Lestrade Finds Out, Polyglot Sherlock, Aftermath of Serbia) – Sherlock had buried the past. Shut Serbia away in the attic of his mind palace. Muddy footprints at a heinous crime scene, however, have led him right back to old enemies.

Two months ago, he walked into John's clinic as if no time had passed at all. John hasn't seen him since. But then Sherlock knocks on John's door with a case he can't say no to, and while figuring out why the biggest manufacturer or synthetic limbs in the System is going after veterans, they also need to find out whether there's a way to fix what's broken between them. Part 1 of Realigning Gravity

Bakers with Benefits by Raina_at (E, 88,130 w., 14 Ch. || Great British Bake Off AU || Strangers to Lovers, Switchlock, Friends with Benefits, Mentions of Alcoholism / Past Drug Use, Banter, Flirting, Fluff, Light Angst, Semi-Public Sex, Past Sherlock/Victor, Mutual Pining, POV Sherlock, Obsessive Sherlock, John’s Bum) – Sherlock Holmes has a successful YouTube baking channel, but what he really wants is his own bakery. When an old friend sends him a call for the very first Great British Bake Off, he seizes the opportunity to finally win a sponsor for his bakery. Here's the plan: Win Bake Off, get the bakery, don't fall in love with the handsome Army doctor at the neighbouring station. Easy.

Fade To Black by twistedthicket1 (M, 93,389 w., 29 Ch. || Split Personality Disorder / DID, Action, Romance, Violence, Implied Rape/Non-Con, BAMF John, Fluff and Angst, Baskerville, Human Experimentation, PTSD, Implied Self Harm, Trauma Amnesia, Past Child Sexual Abuse, Protective Sherlock, Smoking, Meddling Mycroft, Past Victor/Sherlock, Gay Sherlock, Sherlock’s Past, First Kiss/Time) – John Watson believes one day he'll just fade. That he'll drown in the black spaces of his mind, and that one day he will no longer exist. It's always been like this, the dark spots marking out moments in his life he can't remember. Where for just a moment he's someone else. Having a Dissociative identity disorder, he can't even be entirely sure he's really who he says he is. Then he meets Sherlock Holmes. A brilliant detective who when he looks at you can read your entire life story. John is immediately fascinated and afraid, half-wondering if maybe Sherlock can see the other personalities in him and half terrified of the thought of him finding out. Becoming his flatmate seems at once to be a wonderful and horrible idea. Yet as John's Blackouts become more and more severe and his other personalities begin to truly awaken and show themselves with Sherlock's help, the two soon discover that sometimes even the kindest person can harbour a demon best left untouched inside of them. Because not all of John's other personalities play nicely and some may be hiding secrets best left undisturbed...

Out There by DiscordantWords (T, 131,695 w., 10 Ch. || X-Files Fusion || Past Soldier John, Panic Attacks, POV Alternating Present Tense, Anxious John, Canon Adjacent, Deductions, Obsessive Sherlock,, Travelling, Sherlock’s Family, Jealous Sherlock, Mind Palace John, Awkward Flirting, Batting Cage, Kidnapped/Abducted John, Semi-Reverse Reichenbach, Worried/Anxious Sherlock, Hospital, Slow Burn, UST, Case Fic, Government Conspiracy, Aliens, UFOs, Mutants, Mutual Pining, First Kiss, Coma John, Forehead Touching, Hand Holding, Drinking/Bars, Past Jolto) – FBI Special Agent John Watson, medical doctor and army veteran, is assigned to assist eccentric genius Sherlock Holmes with paranormal investigations on the X-Files project.

There are things about John Watson that piss me off. Like his cheating on Mary, his reluctance to forgive Sherlock, first in S3, then again in S4, and that second time not even being Sherlock's fault, and... well, you get the idea.

But despite that, I am a sucker for some quality Johntent. I love those serious moments when he finally gets through to Sherlock, makes him listen, and lays some cold, hard facts on him. Like the "before you know it" speech. And endless wonderful fics available here, and on other sites.

John has flaws, some pretty big ones, but in the end, he's Sherlock's best friend, and they have a bond that can't easily be broken. They're like family. And it's lovely to watch, and to read about.

There's no point to this rambling post, really... just felt like rambling. And putting a plug in for John after being mad at him for the last four years.

Final chapter!

A few days after Sherlock and Molly’s day together, John drops in at Baker Street and discovers that his friend has developed a new interest...

Thanks so much for everyone’s lovely feedback, and especially to those who contributed their bizarre case ideas! :-)

In an alternate ASiP:

"Afghanistan. Sorry how did you know...?" John asked, a little off kilter with this unexpected and oddly accurate question.

The lab door behind them opened and the tall curly man looked up from John's mobile phone to see who entered.

"Ah, Molly! Coffee, thank you." He said, completely ignoring John standing next to him. John barely maneged to catch his phone as the tall man threw it his way, already focused on the person behind them.

"What happened to the lipstick?" He heard him ask this Molly as he took a step right to meet her.

"Um, it ...wasn't working for me." The young woman replied and John noticed her giving him the cup.

"Really?" The tall man said turning away from them. "I thought it was a big improvement. Your mouth is too ...small now." He finished with a vague hand movement. John listened to him with ever growing incredulity. Was this man for real?

"Well then," the woman started, her voice strong, "if you think so, you can definitely forget about enjoying it's talents this evening when you sleep on the sofa!" She said and turned around to leave.

An awkward second passed as the tall and curly man paused mid-step, the cup of coffee halfway to his mouth. "Damn." He muttered and hastily put the cup on the counter then practically ran after the female.

John blinked, eyebrows raised, as he looked back to Mike Stamford.

"Yup, he's always like that," was all his old friend said.

Or if Sherlock and Molly were married when John met them... ;)

Molly Hooper Appreciation Week Fall 2018 - Day 2

Will be on FFdotNet and Ao3 later (probably tomorrow because I’m tired and I’m going to bed now)

On FFdotNet and Ao3

Completely unbeta’d and also not great, but--again--I’m tired and I’m going to bed now.  And that reminds me that I forgot to thank @lilsherlockian1975 for looking over Day One’s fic.  She is awesome.

MHAW Day Two - Scent

A Small Comfort

John crept up the stairs to 221b, utterly exhausted and more than a little worried about what he might find waiting in Sherlock’s rooms.

Rosie had taken ill during the night. Even though she seemed to be much improved by the morning, day-care policy said she had to be fever-free for twenty-four hours which meant John had found himself scrambling for childcare.

If the clinic hadn’t already been short-staffed he would have called in, but that hadn’t been an option.

“I’ll watch her,” Sherlock had offered when John had stepped by to see if Mrs Hudson was free.

“I’m not sure that would be a good idea.”  As a matter of fact, it seemed like an incredibly bad idea, but Rosie had already started reaching her arms out to the other man and John was in a bind.

“I am her Godfather, John.  I am perfectly capable of watching over her for the day.”

“Right.  Okay.  I can’t believe I’m doing this, but promise me you will call for help if you get into trouble.”  John set Rosie’s bag on the sofa and bent down to kiss her daughter goodbye.

“How much trouble can one sick little girl be?” Sherlock had scoffed.

John hoped that Sherlock hadn’t actually found out.

He made it to the landing without hearing Rosie (or Sherlock) fussing, so he took that to be a good sign.  The sitting room door eased open to show him Sherlock stretched out on the sofa with Rosie sleeping on his chest.  

“Has she been out long?” John whispered as he took in the relatively unscathed state of the flat.  Only a few of Rosie’s toys were spread out on the floor, there was a mound of pillows and blankets that had either been a nest or a pillow fort at one time, and a nearly empty sippy cup on the coffee table next to . . . A bottle of shampoo?

Sherlock’s eyes fluttered open.  “What time is it?”

“Half five.  Rough day?”

“Hmm,” Sherlock hummed in agreement. “We were fine until after lunch. She kept insisting she wasn’t tired, and I didn’t want to push the matter-“

“Rookie mistake,” John interrupted.

Sherlock grimaced.  “Yes, well, lesson learned.  I tried everything I could think of to get her comfortable. Pillows, blankets, juice, Molly.”

“Molly’s here?”  John spun around as if expecting to see their friend sitting in one of the chairs or standing in the kitchen.

“No.  She’s at Barts.”  Sherlock carefully sat up and transferred Rosie to the sofa cushion.  The little girl barely stirred and immediately dropped back into a deep sleep.  “But that’s her brand of shampoo.  I thought the scent of it might be enough to comfort Rosie.  And it worked.”

“She does love her Aunt Molly.” John smiled down at Rosie.  “But why do you have a bottle of Molly’s shampoo just lying about the place?”

Sherlock waved his hand.  “I’m sure she must have left it one of those times she stayed over while I was recovering.”

It was a plausible explanation, Molly had ended up with more than her fair share of overnight shifts while Sherlock had been detoxing, except . . .  “Hold on tic, this place blew up after that.  Are you telling me that survived unscathed and still smells enough like Molly to calm a cranky toddler?”

“Well, perhaps it wasn’t this bottle.” Sherlock leaned down to snatch it up an out of John’s sight.  “But she did leave a bottle, at one point.”  He flushed and looked anywhere but at John.

“And, what?  She brought another one by just in case she needed to pop into the shower?”  Was there something going on between Molly and Sherlock, something he’d completely missed?

For a moment, Sherlock looked as if he was going to ignore John entirely, then he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “Your daughter isn’t the only one who finds comfort in Molly.”
