Hey Nonny!!
Ahhhhhh I don't know any SPECIFICALLY about telepathic John, but I do have Empath John, where he can feel emotions:

And there MAY be some that got recced in the notes of my Magical Realism Where John is the Powerful One list.
I haven't read it yet nor seen the movie the universe is based upon, but I'm pretty sure Pacific Rim has some form of telepathy too:
Drift Compatible by J_Baillier (E, 130,380 w., 26 Ch. || Pacific Rim Fusion || PODFIC AVAILABLE || Alternate First Meeting, Angst, Family Drama, Accidental Telepathic Voyeurism, Martial Arts, Sci-Fi, Internalised Homophobia, Rubbish Siblings, Army Doctor John, Medical H/C, Bullying, Neurodiversity, PTSD, Drug Use, Depression, Mourning, Adventure, Hurt/Comfort, UST/URT) – A washed out war hero struggling with his past. A prodigy who wants nothing to do with his family legacy. Both are looking for something—and someone—worth fighting for in a world where human civilisation is constantly under threat.
And I found these additional ones tagged in on my MFL list:
Wanted: Empath by nutmeag83 (T, 4,886 w., 1 Ch. || Supernatural Elements AU || Empath John, Ghost Hunter Sherlock, Halloween, Haunted Houses, Pining John, Resolved Romantic Tension, Friends to Lovers) – Sherlock is a ghost hunter and John his empath assistant. Near Halloween, they investigate a ghostly sighting at a mansion in the English countryside. The events of their investigation bring their feelings for each other to the fore.
So True a Fool by ladyxdarcy (M, 4,963 w., 1 Ch. || Soulmates AU || Post-ASiB/Pre-THoB, Suicidal Thoughts, Implied/Referenced Child Abuse, Bisexual John, Internalized Homophobia, Implied/Referenced Homophobia, Sick Sherlock, Fluff and Angst, Angst with Happy Ending, Mild Telepathy, Friends to Lovers, Mutual Pining, Idiots in Love) – Every pair of soulmates has one listener and one speaker. It is the listener's job to find the speaker and embrace their bond. John knew the instant he heard the strange man's voice that he was his soulmate, but never reveals the truth, resulting in severe consequences. (Based on this prompt)
Deleted Files by oh_my_stars_and_sky (T, 16,436 w., 13 Ch. || Romance, Telepathy, Friends to Lovers, Bisexual John) – Whenever Sherlock deletes something from his mind, it appears in John's. Part 1 of Deleted Files
Those Who Dream Of The Sky by Berty (T, 17,978 w., 1 Ch. || Fantasy / Dragon AU || Dragon Sherlock, Soul Bond, Telepathic Bond, Friendship / Love, Dragon Riders) – The stories say that dragons were once the defenders of good and peacekeepers of the skies. They say that the people of Beron and the people of Pharo had a bond, a link that allowed these incredible creatures to move among humans, and that for generations, children were fostered between families where they might find these partners. But times had changed. For centuries now there had been no dragons and they had become the stuff of myth. Dragons were stories for winter nights; wild and wise, fierce and free, something from another age. So when a young Pharon asks to be hosted by a Berond family, some are wary. These are strange days and rumours abound. But John Watson's family have a long tradition of respect and old-fashioned pride in the tales that say that their family once produced some of the strongest partnerships from the legends. Sherlock Holmes has heard these tales and his research has brought him here to see if there is any truth in them. Because the east wind is coming. And it has wings.
