AHHHH ME TOO FRIEND. 

Seriously, guys, if you haven’t read The Paradox Series yet, get on that.

Check out 

The Cinnamon Peeler Series (M - 10,083)

He just wanted John right down to the amino acids that made up his body, and he wanted them in his own body.

(Err… warning for mild cannibalism. Yes, mild).

The River Variations (T - 11,619)

John Watson never knew that he wanted a ‘no toast in the mornings’ normal until he realized what an honor it is to be destroyed by Sherlock Holmes.

Dreamers and Addicts and Lost Souls (T - 4,755)

Talk into my bullet hole, tell me I’m fine.

Our Enthusiasms Which Cannot Always Be Explained (M - 32,961)

The list that is tacked haphazardly on the refrigerator of 221B reads, ‘Kidney(s), and/or a full cadaver (preferably male, late 30s, under six feet tall), bag of fresh toes, sixteen cow’s eyes (corneas retained), dual exhaust hand –held flame thrower, an unopened first edition copy of Joseph Conrad’s ‘Heart of Darkness’, and no less than ten abhorrently gruesome murders in the upcoming month.” The one neatly hanging next to it simply reads, “Sex.”One of these lists is not John Watson’s. If John Watson were to put what he really wanted in list form, to live in a land somewhere beyond ‘almosts’ now that Sherlock Holmes has indeed returned to him, he would never be able to look his flatmate in the eye ever again.

Please submit requests through the askbox. It just makes things a little easier for me! :)

The First Mistake, for those interested.

A Cure For Boredom

Problematic

Maybe The Art of Seduction?

The Scientific Method (more John's romantic response than sexual response)

There might be something in my experiment to relationship tag. Hope that helps!

Mostly MATURE READERS for smut.

I'm going to assume you're referring to the fic The Loss of Flesh and Soul, as opposed to a plot line that involves the loss of flesh and soul. Assuming that, I took a lot of psychopathic!dark!serial killer!Sherlock fics.

Fics like TLOFAS:

Kill of the Night

The Composition of a Good Man

Halloween

England's Most Wanted

And also some general dark!Sherlock recs:

Bound-Servant Watson (very popular)

Hurt/Comfort/Hurt

Training Dr. John Watson (well-known)

Still I Look to Find a Reason

Feel free to also check out my dark!Sherlock tag.

Hmm.. your'e right, I haven't read this fic, but I'm aware that it's a first-person, present tense fic that apparently has brilliant characterization of Sherlock. As much as I'd love to rec fics that are almost exactly the same, almost no one else can pull off a fic like this except ivyblossom. Therefore, most of the following fics will be in the third person.

For those interested, The Progress of Sherlock Holmes

Upon This Throne

Illogical, even.

Duvet (Green)

I also suggest you check out my mind palace tag.

For those who are interested, Where the Sun Never Shines.

I'm going to direct you straight towards Two Coffees One Black One With Sugar Please and my recs for fics like it.

I also have a sleep tag.

Otherwise, check out

Unconventional Decor

Felty Freeloaders and Frozen Feet

Not all of these are "sleep to sex" type fics, but they all involve sleeping (actually sleeping) in a bed.

For those of you who are interested, here's The Plan (It's a fun, cute little fic. I should really write a review for it).

So I'm afraid I'm going to have to depart a bit from your request. I'm not finding much of comfortably bisexual!John. It's definitely more on the gay panic!John side. So I'm just going to rec some fics that concern John's sexuality that are a little bit humorous and fluffy, just like The Plan.

A Study in Sexuality (Great fic, by jupiter_ash, author of A Study in Winning and Man and Beast)

Matchmaker, Matchmaker

I'm a bit reluctant to rec more than that, as I know this is not what you really asked for. At any rate, I hope you enjoy these fics anyway! I found them very entertaining.

Thank you, love! That's kind of you to say.

For those interested, here is the mentioned series.

I've answered this previously here.

Some more fics that are similar in that they're kind of medium-length fluff fics (but aren't necessarily sharing a bed) are

The Real Meaning of Idioms 

and A Silver Sixpence.

Thanks for the question, love!

Ahhh, I love those fics too! For those of you who are interested, here's A Quiet Murmuration and I Prefer to Text.

I'm not entirely sure what you consider to be medium length, as the fics you specified are both under 10k (which I usually consider short), so I'll just go for fics around 8k-25k.

Seventeen Letters (Okay, so I lied. This is only 2k, but maybe what you were looking for? It reminds me of A Quiet Murmuration for some reason).

A Silver Sixpence (Kind of slow build? They get married at the beginning for a case, but love doesn't happen till later).

Meeting On the Corner of Excitement and Chance

A New Kind of Communication

Two Coffees One Black One With Sugar Series

Dates of Vast Importance

I think we have slightly different definitions of slow build, so I mainly just went for recs that seemed similar to the fics that you mentioned you like. Hope this helps! Thanks again for the question.
