Vampire powers come at a cost
Like a heart that’s as cold as the frost

You lose family and friends
And how can you love when you’ve lost?

In 2019 I wrote a short fic called The Story of Us, inspired by a line from the movie Arrival. It was an intriguing idea and good enough story, but it felt incomplete, as if I'd skipped over a lot of the best parts. I had ideas about it.
A few months later, I started writing a story called Palimpsest, but backed away from it when other things took my attention.
At some point, I realised that these two ideas were made for each other. The John from The Story of Us with the Sherlock of Palimpsest might create an interesting dynamic.
In May of 2020 I wrote Sherlock investigating the murder of Vincent Karpaty. He didn't know John yet, but John had already -- well, you'll see.
The Sibylline Book includes some of my favourite things: ancient books, manuscripts written in unknown languages, conlang nerds, cold cases, murders, Chicago, classical scholars feuding over trivial things, first meetings, a John Watson obsessively trying to read a story written eight hundred years ago, and our favourite consulting detective falling in love. Did I say murders?
And Johnlock, for sure 💕
I'm aiming for early 2026, but will give you a bit now:
“Where is his laptop?”
“Didn’t see one.”
“Really, Lestrade.” I’m holding up a power cord, still attached to the wall under the desk. “Obviously it’s been taken.”
“Okay, someone broke in and stole his laptop. Killed him when he caught them at it.”
“A rather stupid thief, then, since he left the mobile.” Plucking the cell phone off the floor, I flip it open. “Enabled for email. Maybe it’s here.”
“What’s here?”
“The last message he sent, warning his colleague.”
“Colleague?”
“Partner, whatever. He’s an archaeologist, an unlikely victim of murder, unless he was involved in something more than ancient history. For that, he would need a partner, a collaborator, a confederate. Here it is.” I pause, frowning at the phone.
“What, like smuggling artefacts? Running drugs?”
Ignoring Lestrade, I continue looking at the email.
Don't go home tonight.
It appears that our victim wasn’t warning his colleague; instead, he has received a warning himself. Not the only interesting feature of the case, but certainly worth looking into.
“So, they weren’t supposed to kill him? What were they after? And why not take the phone?”
“I don’t know yet. Probably thought the laptop had what they wanted. When I’ve studied the message, I might have a better idea.”
“His last email?”
I raise my hand for a cab. “Trace the sender for me. The name’s JH Watson.”
Lestrade grimaces. “Common name. I’ll see what I can do.”
characters who crave affection but at the same time have no idea how to respond to actually receiving it due to the fact theyve rarely ever experienced it are my absolute favourite

Not a complete list!
There are several books missing from the list.
The books listed are LGBT Sherlock Holmes books that can be easily purchased at time of posting. There are more that had been published through the years that may be difficult to get a hold of. Not all published LGBT Sherlockian books are known and still need to be found. There are also books in ebook format on the Published LGBT Sherlock Holmes sheet that do not have paperback or hardback versions to list here.
This google sheet [link] has a more expansive list. I add books to the sheet as I find out about them.
Used links other then Amazon where able, but some books could only be found on there.

some people don’t deserve fanfics, much less for free.
also even if authors didn’t tag any specific warnings but they used the “creator chose not to use archive warnings” tag, then that is your warning.
“omg you should’ve —” no one forced your entitled ass to read anything. fanfic writers write for themselves and their own enjoyment. if you don’t like what you’re reading, quietly leave. ao3 is not an airport. no one cares about your departure so no need to announce it.

Million by AtlinMerrick (G)
It was yesterday John and Sherlock met, just yesterday.
Taste by A_Candle_For_Sherlock (G)
John slowly becoming a bit more queer in how he looks...being with Sherlock lets him embrace dressing and acting how he wants to.
Outside Definition by Itsallfine (T)
Sherlock has been called many things. Freak. Psychopath. Sociopath. But John knows him for real: Not just a great man, but a good one, too.
Tag by Kryptaria (G)
John is forever the soldier, always presenting a neat, composed facade to the world. Only Sherlock gets to see the real John underneath.
This Kiss by suitesamba (T)
Stag Night - back at 221B - in a world where Mrs. Hudson doesn't interrupt the guessing game with the client.
The Case of the Clever Conundrum by ChrisCalledMeSweetie (T)
It takes a well-crafted riddle to push Sherlock and John past "Will they or won't they?" to "Oh God, yes!"
Thanks to @chocolamousse for suggesting the fic by @atlinmerrick. If you have a fun fic under 1k you’d like me to include, please drop me a line. Self-recs are encouraged!
For the 25th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in 1994, flag creator Gilbert Baker was commissioned to make the world’s largest flag. The flag took months of planning and work done by teams of volunteers. The flag utilized the basic six colors of the rainbow and measured thirty feet wide by a mile long.

No call, no message, no hint of where he was. John had run through every possibility, contacted Molly, called Lestrade, even in the early morning hours still hoping to find some trace of him. But there was nothing. Only that growing, dull fear in his chest he couldn’t reason away.
When Sherlock finally appeared in the doorway of 221B, he looked as if the case had spat him out. Pale, exhausted, dark shadows under his eyes, and that faintly confused expression, as if he couldn’t quite understand why John was staring at him like that.
John needed only two steps before he was standing in front of him.
“Damn it, Sherlock…” he muttered, his voice rough with relief and anger all at once. “I was worried. Don’t ever do that again. Call me. At least tell me where you are.”
Sherlock only blinked, still half lost in thought, as though he was only now beginning to grasp what his absence had done.
“John, I—”
“I love you, you idiot,” John said more quietly, gruff, almost reproachful.
Then he cupped Sherlock’s face, pulled him down toward him, and kissed him. Not hesitant, but firm, as if he needed to make sure Sherlock was truly here, warm, alive, back with him.
