Sherlock Fic Recs:  [1] [2] [3] [4] Here’s a Fic Masterlist for my other fandoms. ( ** =  favorites )

  **The Bravery of the Soldier by bakerstreetgirl 

Word count:  101,703 (26/26)

Summary:  When a news story about a hostage situation in Afghanistan breaks, details about John Watson's military service come to light that the doctor had kept secret for a long time. Sherlock is intrigued and John manages to surprise the British government. What John needs in light of this story and the PTSD responses it flares up, is a friend. Can Sherlock Holmes step up to the job?

Comments:  My favorite Sherlock fic, I go back and reread this one all the time. Also available on FF.net

  Electric Pink Hand Grenade by BeautifulFiction

Word count:  67,718 (13/13)

Summary:  "If Sherlock's brain is a hard drive, then these attacks are an electro-magnetic pulse." Sherlock Holmes does not do anything by half, not even a migraine. It falls to John to witness one of the greatest minds he has ever known tear itself apart, and he must do his best to help Sherlock pick up the pieces.

  **J.B. Rhine Was Kind of a Dick by CharleyFoxtrot

Word count:  24,957 (7/7)

Summary:  A precog, a telepath, an empath, and a clairvoyant walk into a bar. That their names are Sally Donovan, John Watson, Greg Lestrade, and Sherlock Holmes may or may not be highly relevant.

Comments:  Part 1 of the Talented People With Interesting Skillsets series.

  **Crazy Men With Guns by CharleyFoxtrot

Word count:  37,791 (9/9)

Summary:  “You want us to be some...what, psychic and potentially homoerotic Charlie's Angels?"

John Watson's observations aren't too far off the mark: Afghanistan replaces London and our psychic quartet begins to learn the practical applications of their skills in a warzone. General badassery is just a side-effect.

Comments:  Part 2 of the Talented People With Interesting Skillsets series.

  Bed-Sharing Between Flatmates by testosterone_tea

Word count:  5,053 (1/1)

Summary:  5 times Sherlock had an excuse to share John's bed, and the one time he didn't need one.

  Just a kiss by emmagrant01

Word count:  19,695 (7/7)

Summary:  Five times John and Sherlock kissed because of a case and one time they kissed for real.

  Five Times John Cooked Something with Peas and One First Kiss by 221b_careful_what_you_wish_for

Word count:  3,915 (1/1)

Summary:  After John cooks five dinners that slowly reveal their hunger for each other, Sherlock and John finally share a first kiss.

Coming home to find John busy in the kitchen, a strong wave of domesticity had washed over Sherlock, stirring up something unexpected, something he hadn't quite known he craved until now. But it was more than companionship he was responding to, it was... what, exactly?

Intimacy. That was the word he was fumbling for. It felt intimate to walk into their home, water bubbling, spoon circling, fingers mounding, scooping, cradling food.

(Inspired by Sherlock’s line about John from The Sign of Three: “And he can cook… Does a thing … with peas…”)

  Five Times He Woke Up With Sherlock, and the One Time He Didn't... by MrsNoggin

Word count:  2,750 (6/6)

Summary:  It was a strange experience, waking up beside someone in bed. It had been a while since he had last done it and John found himself conscious, in his semi-conscious state, of all those old dilemmas of morning breath and pillow-creased cheeks and blood rushes to odd places.

Comments:  FLUFFY.

  **Semper Fidelis by Blind_Author

Word count:  57,642 (13/13)

Summary:  Written for a prompt. Moriarty frames John and "Anthea" of betrayals which cause both of the Holmes brothers to cut them off. Cue BAMF!John and BAMF!"Anthea" doing their best to clear their names.

Sherlock Fic Recs:  [1] [2] [3] [4] Here’s a Fic Masterlist for my other fandoms. ( ** =  favorites )

  **And A Doctor by stillwaters01

Word count: 24,962 (6/6)

Summary:  It was only when people actually saw John working as a physician that they began to understand: that it wasn’t just about bullets and IEDs and trauma care under fire. That “doctor” actually covered a pretty wide field. And that John was bloody good at covering ground. 5 times Dr. Watson treated others and 1 time he treated himself.

  Man and Beast by Jupiter_Ash

Word count:  19,914 (1/1)

Summary:  Written for this prompt here.  Sherlock is a werewolf who is captured by a facility which wants to experiment on him.  When John is placed into his cage they expect Sherlock to attack him, but instead, he tries to mate with John.

  **EMERGENCY CONTACT: Sherlock Holmes, RELATIONSHIP: n/a by blueink3

Word count:  5,534 (1/1)

Summary:  The first time John Watson’s emergency contact is called is the first time Sherlock Holmes finds out that he has the job.

Comments:  Part 1/2 of The Emergency Contact Series.

  EMERGENCY CONTACT: John Watson, RELATIONSHIP: Saint by blueink3

Word count:  6,229 (1/1)

Summary:  The first time Sherlock Holmes realizes he needs an emergency contact is the first time he mentally appoints John Watson with the job.

John, of course, does not know this and neither does the local hospital.

Comments:  Part 2/2 of The Emergency Contact Series.

  Very Good Indeed by stillwaters01

Word count:  4,144 (1/1)

Summary:  John Watson was a doctor, trained to observe details; a fact Sherlock had never been more aware of than when a drugged John’s lifesaving instructions were based on an unlabeled syringe and an unconscious murder suspect’s body.

  **The Republic of Heaven by Blind_Author

Word count:  121,534 (15/?)

Summary:  His Dark Materials AU. John and his dæmon, Amarisa, have never quite fit in, largely because she settled as a wolfdog. Sherlock and Raniel are similarly isolated, mostly because the woman they call Mummy is a witch. These two men and their dæmons end up sharing a flat together and the rest, as they say, is history. And with a witch-clan out for John's blood and a man known as Moriarty emerging from the shadows, they're certainly not going to be bored.

Comments:  My most favorite Sherlock fic of all time! Part 1 of a series.

  The Autumn Moon is Bright by barrowjane

Word count:  23,935 (3/3)

Summary:  John has two secrets he keeps from Sherlock - he manages this, he thinks, only because Sherlock would find the idea that John is attracted to him just as unlikely as the idea of John being a werewolf. He's not sure what it says about his life, that love and lycanthropy are considered equally impossible events. 

  **Helpless by ivyblossom

Word count:  12,745 (17/17)

Summary:  John, ever the good doctor, notices something not quite right about Sherlock. Biopsy, diagnosis, surgery, and radiation: Sherlock lives through thyroid cancer treatment. Think that's in poor taste? I actually kind of agree with you. This fic is written by a thyroid cancer survivor (me!) for a thyroid cancer survivor going through treatment round two. Its purpose in life is to stamp all over the nasty experience with slashy goodness. I have inserted shippy joy all over the experience, wherever I could. This is a hurt/comfort cancer story wrapped in loviness, sexytimes, and "how they got together" fun for a friend who really needs something else to think about whilst in radioative isolation. Apologies to anyone offended.

  Speaker for the Bees by antiemtamfalls

Word count:  14,649 (3/3)

Summary:  It isn't always easy assisting a deaf detective. Luckily for John, they make a pretty good team.

  The Second Law of Thermodynamics by entanglednow

Word count:  3,614 (1/1)

Summary:  In which there's no heating and there's a dead owl in Sherlock's bed.

Comments:  Part 1/4 of the Thermodynamics series. Lots of cuddles.
