What if Elizabeth was as reserved as Mr. Darcy? AU

What if Mr. Darcy had discovered Elizabeth's opinion of him long before the proposal at Rosings? And how would an honest conversation have affected the story?

Sherlock Holmes had a secret that nobody at the Yard knows.

Sherlock has not been seen or heard from for more than a week. Lestrade decides to begin his search for the man at 221B Baker Street. When Scotland Yard's finest arrive at the flat, what (or rather who) they find is certain to surprise them. Established Johnlock.

Five Times Sherlock Deliberately Made Other People Uncomfortable By Showing Off About His Shiny New Sex Life (And One Time That John Did It Instead)

Lestrade decides to do a drug's bust at 221B after Sherlock has been caught smiling for days straight for no apparent reason. But he never expected to find this…..

"I don't suppose I can persuade you to stay, John?" asked Mycroft, shooting an annoyed look at the cab where Sherlock sat imperviously. Imperiously even, Mycroft thought. Of course. John dumped a duffel bag against the small pile of suitcases on the footpath outside 221B Baker Street and said, "No," in that tone of voice that Mycroft had heard so many times before.

Post-Reichenbach, Sherlock comes home expecting to find a broken man. Instead he finds a soldier. A man who took on the world single handedly - and won.

Just because Sherlock stopped, doesn't mean the Work has to. London is John's city now and he will keep it together with stitching, string, his healing, the food off his table, and sometimes the clothes off his back. John Watson keeps going. He's good at that.

Everyone knew Sherlock was unable to tolerate those who were blind to the truth, and oblivious to the true actions of people, and he made that clear. So when the police met John, and found out just what was different about him, no one believed he was really with Sherlock, because really, who would want to be with Sherlock? Established relationship, AU from the series

Sherlock can't sleep. It's been months, but his mind won't shut off. After nights of tossing and turning in his bed, he finally asks John to help. And not even the greatest mind in England could have foreseen the consequences. A Calabash and Drifta fic. Yes, we're finally resubmitting the old stories! Rated M for chapter two

A little expansion on one of my favourite scenes

When Lestrade gets fed up with the unresolved sexual tension in 221b Baker Street, what lengths is he willing to go to in order to relieve it? Slash galore!

Shameless pirate!Sherlock merman!John action... completely without plot. Hot and heavy "how on earth are we going to do this?" Be warned!

"If a clock could count down to the moment you meet your soul mate, would you want to know?"

It takes a special heart to befriend a man cursed to be a sociopath. An interpretation of 'Beauty and the Beast' Rating may change in later chapters **Please do not redistribute my works to other sites such as goodreads or ebookstree without my express permission**

It wasn't exactly how he'd thought that John would cope, but they were, after all, English. Maybe it had been unrealistic to expect an emotional reunion, a charged exchange, an embrace his arms weren't quite sure how to return, a fist to the jaw. Instead, he would slip seamlessly back into life at 221B, and life would go on like it had, except when John would go silent and blank.

"'Bee Ay Em Eff'. Hm, that's a new one on me. Do you know what it means, Sherlock?" John might not know what it means, but there are many little ways in which he proves the acronym suits him.

BBC Sherlock Kink Meme fill - "Basically I want a fic where John is like this nice but seemingly boring guy [...] In reality though his life is fascinating. One day some thing happens that makes the people around John realize this. Bonus if John got married to Sherlock and no one noticed." Also posted to AO3.

Dealing with the past can never be easy, especially if the past lies in Afghanistan, with hostages and kidnap and bloodshed. But when a police raid unearths an old, closely-guarded secret of John's, he is forced to confront the ordeal he has kept hidden for so long. T for violence.

Captain John Watson got more then he bargained for when he accepted the unusual offer to room with an intriguing man.

Au Sherlock and John haven't met - yeah I know it's been done - give it a try - might be fun. Could be construed as pre-slash if that floats your boat - or not! Rated T for one swear and some mild gore. Probably a one-shot.

A year after Sherlock Holmes took the plunge off of St. Bart's hospital, John Watson gets the call that his cousin Phil Coulson was killed in an alien attack on Manhattan. He goes to sort out Phil's things, and gets far more than he bargained for. Avengers Movie!verse, rating changed at a reader's request for foul language.

When Donovan discovers an old secret John Watson considered long buried - a ten-year old "Men of the Armed Forces" calendar which has John as a very enticing pin-up for August, it might change the way everyone sees the unassuming sidekick, even Sherlock Holmes. Rated M but the plot reasonably concludes before the smut if you prefer PG . Follow my m/m romances at

One-shot:What if Sherlock and John had been together in the early days and Lestrade and his team are surprised that Sherlock is involved romantically with John? Established John/Sherlock. Slash. Rated T for safty!

... someone noticed John's dog tags around Sherlock's neck, and one time John saw them. Just a stupid excuse to write a Johnlock hug. Pre-relationship, I suppose, but there are definitely butterflies in both their stomachs.

During a fake drugs bust Lestraude and his team find something unexpected in John's room, only John wasn't too happy about them going through his box. Complete.

The words that appear on your wrist after birth lead you to your soulmate, so it should be no surprise to John that Sherlock's are blank, or that his own words lead him to Sherlock.

A bomb goes off and John single handedly saves a bunch of people while having a PTSD flashback. Possible two shot Slash goggles.

Updated! When Sherlock starts acting strange around the yard, everyone fears the worst and assumes he is back on drugs. A impromptu drugs bust soon tells them otherwise... Warnings fic contains references to drug use and mentions of slash.

What if Lestrade had been on Sherlock's website at the time when Sherlock had posted that last message before going to the pool... What if he had installed cameras at the pool... What if Scotland Yard had watched everything that unfolded with Moriarty... This is what would have happened! Nothing is very secret anymore! No intended slash. My first Sherlock story. Please R&R.

and one time the world saw John Watson, The Soldier. COMPLETE

He's known the man since he was eighteen.He's watched him go to war and back. From a prompt that said 'Sherlock knew John before he went to war. Now he finds out that he's been shot infront of the team from the yard'.

Lestrade and the other policemen/women didn't believe Sherlock had a friend. Too bad he actually has a boyfriend. NOT cannon, John already knew Sherlock before leaving to fight in Afghanistan. Slash; Sherlock/John. Please read and review!

When John heads overseas for a week, Sherlock's forced to fend for himself. It goes about as well as anyone could have anticipated. Which is to say, very, very poorly. Don't worry, things'll be fine in just seven days.

For SherlockBBCfic prompt: Sherlock, upon discovering that John is bisexual but has sworn off men, makes it his mission to set John up on various dates to help him find the perfect man. Hilarity ensues. S/J: Pre-slash/Slash Last chapter up!

Shape-Shifters; the idolised, the envied, the loved and the hated. John has rejected who he is since he was a child but when he meets an eccentric detective just like him; will the man convince him to see the truth behind his form. Sequel 'Snake in the Grass' now started

Sherlock always has, and always will be alone. Or so the Scotland Yard thought, until a soldier, just back from Afghanistan, appears at one of the crime scenes, looking for a Sherlock Holmes. For detectives, they're terrible at making accurate deductions.

Sherlock Holmes has met exactly twenty-four Johns in his life. They have all been the wrong John. He's getting tired of waiting, staring at the inscription on his finger and wondering when his John will turn up, if ever.

Having worked with New Scotland Yard for a year, imagine the team's surprise when they find out the incomparable Sherlock Holmes has an actual boyfriend? Can you even imagine the freakish, alien, weirdo he must be to put up with Sherlock all the time?

In which Sherlock has himself a doctor and Lestrade is just befuddled by it all.

John is unexpectedly invited to share Christmas with Sherlock's family. But the seasonal celebrations bring back difficult memories for them both. This is my attempt to understand something of the damage that binds these two men together.

AU, S/J, pre-slash, Sherlock's had this ability since as far back as he can remember and even in death, people are still stupid, or so he thought until John came along.

AU based on The Adjustment Bureau: According to The Plan, John is meant to be with Sarah. As John's caseworker, it is Sherlock's job to ensure this happens. But John is full of surprises. SH/JW Knowledge of Film Unnecessary

What ever happened to the head in the fridge?

PWP. John gets quite turned on by Sherlock's BAMFness. This leads to wall!sex.

Magic!AU. John Watson is an ancient Warlock in the 21st Century. It was only a matter of time before Sherlock found out, whether he wanted him to or not. John/Sherlock

For a prompt: John carrying Sherlock out of great danger. John proves his strength in more ways than one. Established relationship, slash, BAMF!John!

Halfway through Sherlock's Great Hiatus, Mycroft comes to him with the news that John has died. But all is not what it seems…
