I was wondering if you know of some fics where Sherlock is blind or deaf... Or maybe John?

Hi nonny! Hope this is what you’re looking for, enjoy!

A Week in the Dark by Wonderlander090: Sherlock is injured in a case and left temporarily blind, so good.

I’ve Got My Eyes On Higher Things by Vivi_Marius: In the fic, Sherlock was blind when he met John. Post-season 1 and locked to non-AO3 users, unfortunately.

Can You See Me? by stripyjumpers: John has progressive blindness and is scared to tell Sherlock, so sweet.

The Things Love Can Do by Teatrolley: A teenlock fic in which Sherlock is blind. This is a longer fic, also very sweet.

Speaker For The Bees by antietamfalls: John assists deaf!Sherlock on cases, one of my favorites.

Idle Hands by kinklock: John is a sign language interpreter and Sherlock wants him to call a phone sex line, smutty and fantastic.

“The question is not whether my optic nerve will be fine,” Sherlock growled into the couch, with all the venom he usually reserved for paedophiles, crap telly, and Anderson, “the question is whether I will have thrown myself out the window by then. Multiple times.” “Sherlock, we’ve only been home six hours.” --- Or, Sherlock goes temporarily blind, John has to care for him, chaos ensues.

A Week in the Dark

When Sherlock is temporarily blinded as the result of a case, he finds himself needing John more than he thought possible. John does his best to care for him, and chaos ensues.

Right off the bat, this fic was fast-paced, funny, and filled with the perfect balance between tender and hilarious moments. The banter between John and Sherlock is always spot-on here, which is really just a result of the excellent characterization in this fic. With Sherlock being blind, we get to see some interesting sides of Sherlock like his vulnerability. When his physical need for John gets added on to his emotional need, there's a Johnlock romance waiting to happen. The author easily recognizes that the heart of this story is the dynamic between Sherlock and John and how that changes with Sherlock's newfound vulnerability. This fic explores the protectiveness and evident love and caring the two share for each other, and it does so in a humorous manner, with Sherlock snarking all over the place and John being his usual patient self (or, in other words, swearing and being annoyed at Sherlock but loving him all the same). Aside from the engaging overall plot of the fic, I really have to comment on some of the little scenes. I don't want to give anything away, but I can say that the way John reacts to Sherlock and his irritability is so wonderfully in character. Really, there are too many cute and funny scenes to count, but the author does a great job of taking it back to serious and really developing that Johnlock plot line. Highly entertaining and definitely well-written, this fic is absolutely well worth reading.
