Had an irritating day of classes and I was still rather hacked off at my stepdad because he’s a bloody wanker. But it turned out to be a good night after all. Nothing like coming home to the smell of decomposition to set things to rights. 

9. The Perfect Specimen: After seeing John undressed for the first time and making certain observations, Sherlock quickly becomes obsessed with a certain body part belonging to his flatmate. This is the story of how that first sighting came to be and the following attempts to learn more. An unashamed masturbation-fest, first person and very detailed. It’s rated explicit for a good reason!

Both his answers come in the shape of one man: Detective Inspector Gregory Lestrade. The problem? Mates can’t be forced and Lestrade has no interest in becoming Mycroft’s.

127. Let You Kiss Me (So Sweet and So Soft): The first time Sherlock kisses him, John keeps his eyes open, and so does Sherlock, and mostly, he wonders what Sherlock could possibly be up to. There’ll be some logic to this. Some ridiculous experiment about body warmth or respiratory rates or testing a new way of picking pockets. Sherlock does the unimaginable for bizarre reasons, but behind it, there’s always logic and curiosity. Sometimes, it just takes him a while to explain it to John.

128. Symmetrical, Unbroken: Sherlock is intersexed and identifies himself as a man. His ambiguous genitalia and the history of his sexuality and identity are what have kept him from being close to people romantically, particularly John. John finds out or is told, and it really is all fine.

129. Transport: Sensory deprivation, John works at the club Sherlock goes to for that sort of thing. Contains BDSM.

130. Model Behaviour: Sherlock is a photographer for a fashion magazine famed for getting a rise out of his clients but off-camera he’s rude, arrogant and dismissive. John is a male model past his peak who’s recently been injured, leaving a horrible scar on his shoulder, and he’s forced to work with Sherlock on an ad campaign or something.

131. The Important Bit: Just where exactly is the line between “to love” and “to be in love”? What difference is required between “flatmate” and “husband”? (Besides the rings, obviously.) No, the important bit is that they have each other. Thirty years, give or take, in an atypical marriage. Basically a long bit of platonic domestic fluff. 

132. Horse And Carriage: Asexual!Sherlock/John. Sherlock proposes. John thinks the whole idea is ludicrous.

137. Anterograde: Sherlock wonders what it would be like to see him and John having sex without either of them having memories of the experience. John agrees.

138. Brilliant And Commonplace: John’s been comfortably heterosexual for years. Well, unless you count that bit when he’d been erroneously figuring himself Lesbian Daughter #2. Enter Sherlock and… uh, mildly kinky gay sex?

139. Long Ago (And Far Away) Series: WWII AU in which John is an army doctor and Sherlock is a codebreaker at Bletchley Park. 

140. To Resist Temptation: Nobody can fully resist temptation. There was no rational thought left in Sherlock’s magnificent mind now. Nothing but lust and insatiable thirst for the man beneath him clouding his ability to think. Vampire!Sherlock/John.

141. The Syntax Of Things: When John looked at him, Sherlock felt whole, felt like he was who he was meant to be. Not a freak, an oddity, or a monster in-between. FtM!Sherlock/John.

147. Ink: Sherlock draws on himself to help him think; when he runs out of places to draw John offers to help. Sex happens. 

148. Needing Is One Thing (Getting Is Another): In which there are near death experiences, escapes, capture, sex and John in Sherlock’s coat, but not necessarily in that order. It’s sequels: Infiltrate (Tear Down The Walls And The Gate), The Love Song Of Two Idiots & (Life Is) A Series Of Risks.

152. Apotheosis: John is given a chance to take the fight to Moriarty. You know what they say about whoever fights monsters…

153. The Adventure Of The Six Painted Virgins: Sherlock dons an unusual disguise for a case. John is…conflicted.Character study, casefic, & smut (in that order).

154. Like Leaves & Kings (All Things Must Fall): Sherlock is the worst room mate in the world. John suffers him less gladly than he could, but better than most.

163. Please Explore My Love’s Endurance And Stay: As he looks at John’s expression, Sherlock realizes this is not like the other times – John annoyed with him, John frustrated, John bothered, John angry with his apparent lack of empathy. This time is different, this time is hurt; Sherlock has genuinely hurt John.

164. BRRRRRRRR: POV of a Vibrator. Sherlock finds a vibrator in John’s room and assumes that means he has a girlfriend. John says, “What? No. I’m just…. it’s for my alone time.

206. Amateurs: AU wherein John and Sherlock did not meet at Bart’s. Instead, they meet in a seedy studio for a bit of gay-for-pay amateur porn.

207. Landlady, Housekeeper, Matchmaker: Mrs. Hudson plays matchmaker for her tenants.

No one can see her, and she can’t stand to be around anyone - she can’t haunt the Met, because she hates seeing Lestrade berate and blame himself. She can’t haunt Anderson, because seeing him back in the arms of his cheating wife just hurts. So instead, she haunts 221b.
