Looking for a lost Johnlock fic (AO3)!
I’m looking for a long Johnlock fic I read around 2022. It was still updating at the time (I had to wait months for new chapters), and I think it had around 50+ chapters(?) . It’s a US high school au, set in a small Southern/rural town.
Sherlock moves from another state and is the new kid.
John plays American football and starts out dating a cheerleader.
There’s a bonfire after a football game where Sherlock wears short shorts, and everyone notices.
John and Sherlock spend time driving a tractor together (John’s family’s farm? ).
Sherlock already knows he’s gay; John takes much longer to figure himself out.
John’s mother is homophobic and disapproves of their relationship.
John’s father is supportive; at some point he uses a wheelchair, and I think John’s parents later divorce.
John has a younger sister.
After high school, John joins the military and later returns injured.
There’s a couple of 18+ scenes… Parents leave and they are alone at home (after John returns injured from the millitary…)
Sherlock and John keep their canon names (Sherlock Holmes and John Watson).
The title may have been short (1–3 words), but I’m not confident about that.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? I’d be incredibly grateful if someone recognizes it!

Oooo, firstly, WOW so descriptive and super helpful at narrowing down the fic, hopefully!!
Secondly, I have NO idea which fic this is, but HOPEFULLY someone will recognize it as either one they’ve read or one they’ve written, LOL!
Anyone able to help us out with this one??
