I was going to submit KeelieThompson1's Faithful Compass series (it's one of the best johnlock five imo) but I think it might have been deleted. Do you guys or anyone else know if it's still around?

You need an AO3 account to view it. That may be why you couldn’t see it. Otherwise, google is your friend.

The Faithful Compass (Series - 300 444, total)

John is five/six years younger than Sherlock and is studying at university when he meets a bored, addicted Sherlock. But Sherlock still needs to become sober, learn his skills and become the consulting detective while John needs to train, find his place in the world, and in the army, to become the man that can match Sherlock. The problem is they may not be able to become these people while in a relationship with each other.

Do you know some good ff for johnlock "beginners" ? Simple, without kinks, no aus etc.. Thanks!!!

I’m going to direct you to The Fandom Classics! I’d consider them to be good fics for a beginner. Just read the summaries and whatnot to see what you’re looking for. Just about everyone’s read these or at least seen them, so this is a great place to start!- Kat

Might I rec a fic? My own fic, Vitruvian by Foreverwholockedme and Chanolay on AO3?

Sure, why not? :D

Vitruvian (T - 46 175, ongoing)

After his brother’s death, Sherlock Holmes struggles with loneliness and depression. One night he decides to create a companion, someone who will keep him company, who will love him deeply.

His name is John Watson.

Great URL, by the way. That got a gross chuckle out of me!

Hi! Sorry to ask, but I've been dying to find this one fic I read where Sherlock is obsessed with John's writing and he steals things that John wrote on and John ends up writing on Sherlock. Thanks! Love your blog, by the way ❤

You’re looking for this one, love! 

Notes (PG - 2756)

It had begun innocuously enough, when Sherlock had found a scrap of paper under the armchair that had become reserved solely for John’s use. Sherlock Holmes, it read, with 221B Baker Street underneath.

i was wondering if you had any fics of mrs hudson walking in on john+sherlock fucking? heh

A few for you! 

It’s About Time (M - 2922)

Drabbles I’ve written about John and Sherlock’s relationship becoming more and more public.

Caught in the Act - By Mrs. Hudson (M - 664)

Mrs. Hudson had seen plenty of naked men’s bottoms in her time, but she’d never expected Sherlock’s to be the next to follow. Nor had she anticipated finding it flanked by two hairy legs that weren’t his own…

How Mrs. Hudson Learned To Knock (M - 1701)

The title says it all.

I saw the ask about John and Sherlock having kids and another VERY good one (in my opinion) is Nature and Nurture by earlgreytea68. It's even completed.

Thanks, love! 

Nature and Nurture (M - 203, 273)

The British Government accidentally clones Sherlock Holmes. Which brings a baby to 221B Baker Street.

Hi! I just finished reading The Bang and the Clatter by earlgreytea68. It was amazing and has gotten me on a sports AU kick. I have also read Working on the Edges and A Study in Winning by Jupiter Ash. I was wondering if you knew of any more multi chaptered sports AUs?

Many thanks to a lovely anon who suggested

Uphill (E - 75,990)

Sherlock Holmes is striving for gold in this, his fourth and final Olympics as a downhill Alpine racer.

Emblaze Our Hearts (T - 7,970)

A night of celebratory drinking leads to a mystery in the Olympic village. Who is this “SH” person with whom John apparently spent the night, and why did they disappear with John’s most prized possession?

For those interested, the fics mentioned in the ask are fandom classics.

The Bang and the Clatter (M - 137,048)

Sherlock Holmes is a pitcher and John Watson is a catcher. No, no, no, it’s a baseball AU.

A Study in Winning (E - 106,658)

John and Sherlock are professional tennis players and it’s Wimbledon. One is a broken almost was at the end of his career, the other an arrogant rising star tipped for greatness. It should have been a straightforward tournament. It really should have been. How were they to know that a chance encounter would change everything?

Working on the Edges (M - 56,089)

No matter where you put Sherlock and John, they click. Including the Winter Olympics.

Check out the AO3 Sherlock Sports Challenge Collection.

Hope that helps! Again, many thanks to that helpful anon.

Hiya! First of all, thank you for the most thorough tags page I have ever seen, second, do you have any fics where S is cloned? thanks!

Nature and Nurture (M - 203,237)

The British Government accidentally clones Sherlock Holmes. Which brings a baby to 221B Baker Street.

The above is probably the most well known!

Sherlock’s Laboratory (E - 27,361)

John, this isn’t one of your science fiction programmes. This is reality.

For Mad Science, John (E - 5,480)

There were too many Sherlocks in the flat.

Hope that helps!
