Their friendship initially appears intact, but Sherlock doesn’t understand why John seems to be slipping away.

If you have a Johnlock fic based or with mentions of Canada, please add them to this list!!

——

It’s exactly as funny as a Canadian Johnlock fic about Tim Hortons marketing ought to be.

Oooo Hmmmmm

It might be on my Arranged Marriages (Sept 2020) list? I'm not certain I've read this one so it's probably not!

First time asking anything on tumblr, so I'm not really used to this, but do you have any 5+1 fanfictions ? I absolutely adore these kind of fics, but I'm a little lazy to search for them myself.😅

I don't really care what they are about, as long as they're not full on smut (I don't like reading this kind of stuff, but I don't really mind if it's mild and/or mentioned. )

Thank you if you respond, and thank you for this amazing blog !

Hi Nonny!

I ABSOLUTELY do have a bunch I can rec to you, AND I even have enough to do a part 2 list, so I'm going to use your ask as an excuse to make it!! So make sure you check out my first part list, and this one which are fics I haven't read for the most part, so hopefully they appeal to you!

As per usual, friends, please add your own if you have them!

Do you happen to have any (new or old) fics that talk about:

1. Sherlock experimenting/learning about his aspec identity

2. Sherlock discussing his likes/dislikes with John

3. relationship negotiations

Some personal context for this question: I’m currently struggling with relationship negotiations/figuring out the details regarding my own asexual identity… I figure that reading some johnlock fics discussing those topics might help me a little.

I’ll try to write some new fics myself about this topic, too, as I process my own situation. Hopefully they will help other people down the line who want to learn more too. I’ll make sure to send my fics your way once I publish them. 💜

Hi Nonny! *HUGS*

AHHH I can totally relate on trying to figure yourself out through fics, and I hope that it's going well for you!

I don't think I have one specific fic that covers everything all in one fic, but here are some lists you can check out on the assorted topics above:

Queerplatonic / Ace Relationships Pt 1  (Updated Jun 2023)

Queerplatonic / Ace Relationships Pt 2 (June 2026)

Asexual Sherlock (updated Aug 22/22)

Ace Sherlock Pt. 1.5 (MFL)

Asexual Sherlock Pt. 2 (Bookmarks/MFLs)

Demisexual Sherlock (Feb 2026)

Communication

Consent and Relationship Negotiations (Updated Apr 2023)

Hopefully some of these contain stuff that you're looking for <3

That all said, if anyone has something that steers more towards what Nonny is looking for!!

AND Nonny, PLEASE DO send over your fics if you ever write them!! I'd love to promote them for you!!

1. Sherlock really dies but John won't believe nor accept it. And Greg, Ms Hudson, Molly & Mycroft will cry; while John keeps on saying, 'It's a trick. Just a magic trick, he's not dead. He's coming back.' Themes of Grief/Mourning, Denial, Unhealthy coping mechanism & PTSD.

2. Any fics where after that sequence in S4 'The Final Problem' where Eurus forces Sherlock to pick between Mycroft & John. When Mycroft tries to manipulate Sherlock by framing John as his 'biggest liability,' baiting to make himself the target. After that canon gives them a happy ending, with John & Rosie with Sherlock all back in Baker's Street. But what if Mycroft's words actually land in John's head? John uses Rosie+truth as a sheild (to protect rosie & leave behind this life that brings in danger everyday) to distance himelf from Sherlock. Mycroft's gambit backfires, as be watches his act of brotherly love destroy their lives. Sherlock growing colder, solving cases, & work himself to grid. And John alone. Caring for Rosie, grieving, & cataloging all the times Sherlock got hurt or put himself in danger to protect him. Themes of Angst with happy ending, tragedy, & unintended consequences.

Hi Lovely!!

Ahh Thank you for your requests! Ooooooof I don't think I know of any fics for either prompt, though I would love some if anyone has any!!!

Hi Nonny!

Hi Lovely!!

Ah, I have been here so long I don't even know how many years it's been, LOL. I know at LEAST 7 since 5FF turns 7 this year, LOL. I never left and came back post-S4, so yeah, I'm harder to get rid of than shit on a blanket, LOL.

Thank you so much for your kind words about my surgery! *HUGS* It went well, and Post-Op prognosis is good. I have to wait 6 weeks until I can do any dental work again, and I have to manually brush until then too since my electric brush could irritate the area if used. I started gently eating on the right side of my mouth again for the first time in almost a YEAR, and it was great LOL. AND my insurance money came back for it, so I only had to pay about 600$ out-of-pocket instead of 2000$, LOL. Woot.

SH – :Pride 2025: Procreate on iPad Pro

Woo it's been a few months, my apologies, it's been such a nightmare for me, and I'm trying to get my FTH piece JUST RIGHT before I show it to the bidder, but I really wanted a break from that so I decided I would get my ass in gear and get a Pride piece done for this year!!

It's been awhile since I've drawn something Johnlock, but I knew I wanted to get y'all a pride piece of them for this year. Went through some of my old reference photos and found this one I liked, so slapped John and Sherlock on it :) Quite happy with how it turned out minus the background, but I'm never happy with those so I hope you guys will excuse that, hee hee.

Happy Pride Season, everyone, and I hope you like this one!

Queer / Ace Relationships (Dec 2019) [OLD OLD LIST, has some fics not on the newer post]

Happy final Sunday of Pride Month all! Here's a list that I think y'all will enjoy, since I get asked quite a bit for my older lists! I might have some repeats; these are fics SPECIFICALLY tagged on my offline lists with Queerplatonic or Asexual Relationships (or in the case of my bookmarks, I personally found were Queerplatonic/Ace Relationships)!

Please, if you have any new fics, let me know!! :D

BOOKMARKS

Settling In by PorcupineGirl (T, 1,030 w., 1 Ch. || Ace Sherlock/Straight-Biromo John, Queerplatonic Relationship, Fluff) – Asexual!Sherlock/Straight!John in a queerplatonic romantic relationship. It's a bit of an oddball, but anything fluffy and loving and nonporny will be endlessly and forever adored. It's always fun to see the two work out that hey, we're in love, we don't have sex, but it's still a wonderful and meaningful relationship.

A Quiet Life by DiscordantWords (M, 25,176 w., 6 Ch. || Post S4, Retirement, POV Sherlock, Awkwardness, Established Relationship, Family Dynamics, Minor Character Death, Questionable Parenting Choices, Non-Linear Narrative, 20 Year Old Rosie, Meddling Mycroft, Pining Sherlock, First Kiss, Love Confessions, Angst, Sherlock Whump) – There had been three days of silence and a funeral. Sherlock had the terrible feeling that whatever happened next would depend, entirely, on him.

A Love with No Name Series by aceofhearts61 (G to M, 49,955 w. across 20 stories || Asexual Sherlock / Straight John, Est. Rel, Queerplatonic Relationship, Romance, Cuddling, Fluff, Platonic Romance, Domestics, Rape/Non-Con) – In which Asexual!Sherlock and Straight!John are platonically in love life partners.

That was just a figment of John’s frantic coma dream. And Eurus is not actually Sherlock’s sister. That’s just something random she said to John before shooting him. Sherlock and John were never actually estranged. That was just their act to cover up what really happened to Mary – or Rosamund Moran, as her real name has turned out to be. Sherlock does have a secret sibling, though, and his name is Sherrinford. After finally eliminating Moran – though in a rather dramatically different way than they had envisioned – and exposing the truth about Eurus, John encourages Sherlock to delve into his past and to find out whether the reasons to keep Sherrinford away from Sherlock were the right ones, and to discover what really happened in 1981. Along the way, Sherlock and John gradually, finally, stop keeping each other at a distance, and eventually become a proper family of their own.

It incited a slight tremble in his skin at first, the slightest pricking sensation as his breath shuddered to a stop in his throat at the sudden and unexpected intimacy of it. John’s breath, John’s, brushing against him and Sherlock letting it remain so close as if it belonged there, no more alien to his own body than the clothes he wore. Because it was John’s.
