Your recs are brilliant. Do you ship any other ships? If yes, any fics that you’ve enjoyed? :)
i shipped johnlock once upon a time, and some of the fics that i remember being really good are:
A Chemical Defect Found (On the Losing Side Remix) by AreteArt
A remix of missselene's "On the Losing Side."
After Mary's death, John moves back into Baker Street. He and Sherlock stumble into a relationship, or something of that sort.
Sherlock's rather giving when it comes to sex, but that doesn't mean he and John ever talk about it.

ugh this made me hurt so bad
2. Gordian by fresne (@fresne999)
On any given day, Sherlock might come out of the bathroom smelling like an Alpha on the hunt (Alpha #8) or an Omega in heat (Omega #9), a Beta brooding (Beta #3), or like no gender at all. The last one was his actual scent, which wasn't so much scentless as confusing. At least in an adult.
If Sherlock and John were the sort of people to read Mills and Boon novels, they could have said that what occurred was because destiny intervened and set two destined lovers in their one true pairings' path.
It was the lasagna.

the oblivious pining in this fic slaps
3. ranger panties by simplyclockwork (@simplyclockwork)
While in London on leave, Captain John Watson and a particularly intriguing article of clothing manage to catch the attention of one consulting detective.
Hello! Hope your weekend is alright (and if it isn’t I hope you have a good nights sleep). Do you have any fics with a lot of pining and over 50k (preferably John POV but I don’t mind either or)
Hey Lovely!
Ah, I had shit past weekend actually: I had a debilitating migraine all weekend and it didn't go away until Tuesday. I slept almost all weekend so I didn't have to function, and my SAD is through the roof right now, bleh. Hoping this weekend I can get out for a few hours AND that the sun decides to show up for a change. I'm so sick of snow LOL.
ANYWAY.
YES I have lots of long fics, for sure! First the John-centric, which if you start at the bottom and work your way up, is where the longest fics will be:

Mutual Pining
Mutual Pining Pt 2
Pining Sherlock || [MOBILE FRIENDLY VERSION]
Do You Have a Part 2

Summary:
John has scoured the profiles looking for any that could be Rodney, maybe, sue him, but he hasn't made a profile of his own. Dating, or even thinking about dating, seems pointless when he's already doing the whole unrequitedly-in-love-with-his-straight-best-friend-thing like it's his goddamned second job.
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the
Organization for Transformative Works
Sheppard took a long drink. “It’s what guys do though.”
“Are we guys? Like guy guys?” He wasn’t making any sense at all. Maybe the Athosians were brewing it stronger nowadays. Sheppard knew what he meant, though. Sheppard always did.
“Shit. I don’t know, Rodney. We’re guys that live on a floating city and fight aliens. Apart from that I haven’t got a fucking clue.”
“Me neither.” Rodney lifted his mug and tapped it against Sheppard’s. They were clueless together at least.
A/N: Hello again! So, trying to get back into the swing of things so I searched for some fic prompts and came across this one! Prompt at the end. Feel free to drop prompts into my ask! I'd love to write more!
Here’s what’s frustrating: out of the entire Atlantis expedition, approximately three quarters of them are ATA gene carriers, all thanks to Carson’s finely tuned gene therapy. Awesome. Great.
They now have an entire plethora of people to pick from for ‘light bulb duty’ down in the ancient labs, but the problem is, while there are plenty of people to choose from now, Atlantis and her ancient tech just refuses to work for anyone as well as she works for John fucking Sheppard.
It’s infuriating, honestly, but Rodney supposes he shouldn’t be surprised. After all, Captain Kirk has managed to practically sleep his way across the Pegasus Galaxy and if Atlantis was a person, of course she would be a she, so of course she would line up with the rest of hussies and--.
Hmph.
Maybe it’s John that’s the hussy.
Lieutenant Colonel Hussy.
Okay, that’s almost funny.
“What are we doin’ here again?” Sheppard asks in that nasally, whiny voice he has and it brings Rodney back to the present where they’re currently testing out what very well could be the galaxy’s version of a blood sugar monitor but it only wants to work with John.
“I want you to put your finger under the little…. Thing there and think it on,” Rodney says, like it’s the most self-explanatory thing in the world. The duhis left unsaid but it’s there, hanging in the air. He’s also trying very hard not to think about where else he might like Sheppard to put his finger and--
“Why?”
It’s infuriating, not only that John Sheppard is the only one that Atlantis responds so easily to, but that he doesn’t even seem to care. Rodney can feel the tips of his ears go red at the annoyance, but there’s that almost smug smile that touches Sheppard’s lips and God, he’s so annoying.
And handsome.
And smart (not as smart as Rodney of course, but then--)
Right.
Ancient tech.
“It’s not working,” John intones and Rodney frowns down at the tablet.
“Well, you aren’t trying hard enough.”
“Trying hard enough at what? I’m doing exactly what you said, Rodney.”
“Think harder then.”
“Can’t we just try something else? Somethin’ cool?” And John honest to God whines and Christ, why is this Rodney’s life?
“I just need you to think it on, Colonel,” Rodney snips mostly because they’ve been down here in this lab for the last hour or so and it’s just a couple of them and for the last fifty eight minutes and thirty two seconds, Rodney has been acutely aware of just how close Sheppard is sitting to where he’s working and he just wants to be done.
John sighs and screws his eyes shut for all of three seconds before he opens one slowly, glancing down at the machine.
Nothing.
“I don’t wanna say I toldja so, but--.”
“Not another word,” Rodney huffs and he drops the tablet onto the table, lifting a hand to massage his temples. He’s over this. He’s really, really over this and when he glances up at Sheppard to dismiss him, he’s slightly embarrassed to find the Colonel already looking at him, an unreadable look on his face. “I guess that’s it then,” he says, and he sounds annoyed. “We’re done for the day.”
“Well, I guess I’ll see ya later then,” John says, standing from his stool and waving lazily at the crew before he slouches out of the lab, Rodney looking after him as he does.
It takes all of two seconds before Zelenka speaks up. “Ahem,” he says, feigning clearing his throat. “Perhaps you would like it if I got you a glass of water?”
“Not near the ancient tech,” Rodney answers automatically before he realizes exactly what Radek said. “What?”
“Clearly, you are incredibly thirsty.”
It’s not just Rodney’s ears that go pink this time, but his cheeks burn too. “I have no idea—”
“Oh please,” Radek smirks. “The tech works just as well for any other gene carrier here on Atlantis, you know that. We all know you just pretend it doesn’t to give you an excuse to get Sheppard down here and ogle him for an hour.”
“First of all, there is no ogling anyone here and second of all, you knowthe city responds best to him! We can’t all be natural gene carriers with the stupid hair and that stupid slouch and--.”
“Relax, Rodney,” Radek says and he’s still teasing but maybe there’s something else there too. “For what it is worth, Miko, Simpson and myself believe that the Colonel is just as… parched.”
“Wait, wait, wait, you’re saying—No, no. You’re wrong. It’s not possible.”
Radek shrugs. “If you say so.” He’s content to let it go and go back to work, and Rodney thinks it really sucks that Zelenka would put such a thought in his head and then just goes back to pretending he hasn’t completely melted Rodney’s brain.
Well, what the hell is he supposed to do about this now?
He gives it a few days, lets himself ruminate on it and he’s still pretty certain that Radek is full of it.
But then they’re back to the labs, Sheppard back on lightbulb duty, except this time they’re alone and Rodney cannot… well, he can’t quite look away from the Colonel, no matter how hard he tries. Not even when the blood sugar monitor turns on at the slightest thought from Sheppard and--.
“Rodney? Something on your mind, pal?”
“No,” Rodney answers, perhaps just a little too quickly, eyes snapping down to the tablet in his hand as he catalogs the response the tech is giving John. “Why?” Because he can’t leave well enough alone. “IS there something on yourmind?”
John’s response is just as defensive, an emphatic no, and Rodney knewthat Radek was full of shit, that little--.
There’s a shrill alarm that sounds for a fraction of a second before the sprinklersthat Rodney didn’t even know existed come on, immediately soaking them both.
John curses and stands up from the stool quickly and Rodney very nearly slips in an attempt to get the tablet out of the water, only managing to keep from busting his ass when John reaches for him and suddenly, they’re standing there so close and--.
Thirsty.
Yes, perhaps he is.
“Sheppard, I--.”
He doesn’t get a chance to say what he is when John leans forward and crushes their lips together and oh.
Oh.
This is… this is nice. He relaxes against it, perhaps leaning into it a bit more than he means to and it seems to continue for an eternity before John finally, perhaps reluctantly, pulls away.
“Didn’t think you’d ever get with the program, Rodney,” John mutters and he looks a little embarrassed but a lot proud of himself and--. “Sorry it took so long to get the tech workin’,” he says, rubbing the back of his neck and Rodney realizes he should probably figure out how to turn the sprinklers off, but he’s a little dumbstruck right now, to be frank. “I was hopin’ that if we had to try again, no one else would be here so I could--. Well. So I could see if you were maybe just as dehydrated as I am.”
Sonofabitch.
Zelenka was right.
“Absolutely bone dry.”
“Well,” Sheppard says, and there’s a hint of an almost devious smile touching his lips. “Let’s see what we can do about quenching that, huh?”
Definitely Lieutenant Colonel Hussy.
But this time, Rodney’s more than okay with it.
Your prompt: Person B staring admiringly at Person A from across the room. A friend whispers into Person B's ear: 'Why are you so thirsty?'

From @johnlocky:
“I loved working on this Podfic. This story gives us a glimpse into Sherlock and John's minds (alternating) as they first get to know each other. Awkwardness and misunderstanding, but also budding warmth, caring, friendship, tenderness and love are so palpable in this story. It also touches some of the aspects of Sherlock's psyche in terms of his ability to withdraw from feelings related to some of his cases, and you will be surprised by what's actually in his mind and how it all really affects him. Huge thanks to the brilliant @J_Baillier, this was a joy and honor to record.“
