FYI: I generally avoid Sherlock or John death fics. Mostly non-slash.

A Number of Days by Shuturgal reviews
"The other cup of tea sat by the windowsill, John having moved it so he could watch the steam lazily rise out the cup to only dissipate meeting the frigid air. He'd like to pretend that the World's Only Consulting Detective was about race through the front door. John liked to pretend a lot of things."

Monday by Potix reviews
Bright,chestnut eyes, full of intelligence and xterous fingers,using a scalpel skillfully.A pointy nose - he had heard Mrs Hudson define it cute-and under it, the sweetest smile someone had ever offered to e portrait of generosity and caring.

Be Mindful of the Roses by idreamedofstardust reviews
In which Donovan gives Molly dating advice that actually works. Too well. Causing rampant confusion and *gasp* feelings! This isn't your average love story. Uniquely narrated from Sally's antagonistic POV. But secretly, she likes happy endings.

Delicious by Bellarsam Chrisjulittle reviews
Multi-chapter. Inspired by the trailer to the film of the same title starring Loo Brealey (who plays Molly). Starts in "The Great Game," but goes AU from there. Sherlock's cruelty pushes Molly further and further to the breaking point, bringing back a demon she thought she had beaten. Will he be able to help her fight it, or help it conquer her? Rated T for possible triggers.

One In A Million by Gwen's Blue Box reviews
One in a million, that's how one's chances stand to survive being shot in the neck, with a lot of luck and with the bullet destroying nothing vital. One in a million. Everything John Watson can do now is to hope that Sherlock is the one./ One-shot.
