This is such a long shot but, I was wondering if there were any Boarding School AUs that had a coming of age story vibe? I watched Dead Poets Society recently and none of the teenlocks are hitting the spot. I was wondering if you had a suggestion or if this is just going to be my white whale of fanfiction.

Reply: I’m afraid this is a question you’re going to have to answer yourself. The best I can do is give you a list of boarding school AU’s in my bookmarks, but it sounds like you have a specific yet subjective scenario in mind that only you can judge.

Boarding School AUs (including Potterlock)

A Magic Moment by alexxphoenix42 (159K, Mature/Explicit) Although John and Sherlock were both upper-level students at Hogwarts, they had never had a reason to actually speak before that night in detention together. Sherlock discovers there’s just something about John that he can’t pin down. Obviously John is something that requires a little more study.

A Study in Transfiguration by Aristophanium (Johnlock, 37K, Explicit) John Watson is a Seveth-year Gryffindor student. He and that strange Ravenclaw boy, Sherlock Holmes are partnered together to practice Transfiguration.

Feel the Tide by positivelymeteoric (45K, Mature) Things John Watson doesn’t expect to do when he transfers to a new school: A) Befriend his (possibly) mad roommate. B) Investigate a particularly nasty streak of murders with his (most likely) mad roommate. C) Fall slightly (or not so slightly) in love with his (definitely) mad roommate. D) All of the above.

Our Brave Boys by unknownsister (29K, Explicit) John worked himself to the bone to get into military school. He meets Sherlock Holmes, who doesn’t want to be there at all.

Panacea by trickybonmot (18K, Explicit) Hogwarts student John Watson knows Sherlock Holmes exists, but he doesn’t realize how important he is until they find themselves in seventh year Potions together. John is pretty sure he wants to be with Sherlock forever. Unfortunately, fate has other ideas. [Note: This continues past Hogwarts into their adult lives.]

Roll Away Your Stone by foxxcub (39K, Explicit) Seventeen-year-old John Watson is set to finish his final year of school with a flourish, until the headmaster assigns John as a “tutor” to an arrogant, yet brilliant new student named Sherlock Holmes. Holmes is not about to be put in his place by this popular rugby football player with the too-blue eyes, and John isn’t going to let this impulsive fifteen-year-old get away with anything. Neither expects to become friends, but a series of unexpected events and a possible murder mystery bring them closer together than either of them thought possible. [Note: this fic is set in the RDJ movie verse]

Saving Sherlock Holmes by earlgreytea68 (139K, Mature) Sherlock Holmes, schoolboy. Yeah, that basically sums it up.

School for Scandal by rubberbird (222K, Explicit) Sherlock lusts from afar. John tries to fool himself.

The Brave and the Cunning by thequeergiraffe (95K, Teen to Mature) Potterlock AU series (incomplete)

Two Years as Your Interpreter by prettyvk (42K, Explicit)  John isn’t scared of Sherlock or of the adults around them. But he is scared of this Message. He is scared he’ll be there, in two years, right next to Sherlock, watching and unable to do a damn thing when he dies.  Because the true Message was, “Don’t expect to make a career out of this interpreter thing. I’ll die in two years.”  For the first time in his life, John wishes he’d never taken the Cassandra Tests.
