It's John Watson's first year at University, which can be difficult and confusing when he's been denying his true self his entire life… and when he meets an equally young and very attractive Sherlock Holmes. AU Uni life!

With Sherlock dead, John eventually (under duress) makes a profile on an online dating site. And falls into a long-distance relationship with an enigmatic partner who reminds him of Sherlock in all the right ways. (Hint: it turns out to be Sherlock.) Updated in real time!

They weren't always in love, but they always loved.

College AU. John works at a coffee shop and thanks to Sally's putting out a sign on his birthday saying "Today your barista is: 1. Hella fucking gay. 2. Desperately single. For your drink today I recommend: you give him your number" he meets Sherlock Holmes. Rated M for future chapters.

Sherlock is traveling the world, protecting his friends from Moriarty's web. He is spending his first Christmas alone and he dreams of the first Christmas he was surrounded by friends in 221B but with an ending of what could have been.

Sherlock is in one of his moods again, and John doesn't want to deal with it. A first time fic in which a long walk, a cuddle by the fire, and some middle of the night activities take place. Basically a PwP that has feels. Rated M for the second chapter.

The inevitable 'Let's sleep together because you have nightmares and then act all surprised when it turns into something more' story, because I love soppy tropes.

John has a series of unexpected meetings with a stranger on the Tube.

Sherlock and John are invited to join Lestrade and the team on a residential conference weekend in the country… revealing many things about the duo that people don't usually see.
