Anomalies by Alone Dreaming reviews
Maybe the real anomaly wasn't that he, a man with no emotional attachment, cared about John Watson but rather, that he hadn't realized it until now. Spoilers for 1x03. Sister fic to "Easy Decisions" but can stand alone.

After S3. Lestrade wants to celebrate Sherlock's quick return from exile by taking him & others to a pub. Sherlock is less than thrilled.

The Montague Street Doctor by The Circus reviews
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.

Zephyr by Writingwife83 reviews
The friendship Sherlock Holmes and Molly Hooper shared when they were younger had changed significantly over the years. When Sherlock finds that Molly's trust in that friendship had faltered because of his own carelessness, he comes up with an interesting plan to show her that he still cares very much...a plan that will bring about many more changes than they both anticipate.

And A Doctor by StillWaters1 reviews
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.

All the Things We Thought We Knew by 16magnolias reviews
John, among others, thought that Molly was the last person Sherlock would ever think of. Sherlock thought that Molly was over him. Molly thought that she never had, or would have, any effect on the heart of Sherlock Holmes. In the end, they were all wrong. Spoilers for season 4. T for language and mature themes. Drama and friendship to angst and romance. Sherlolly, in the end.

The Consequences of Caring by Richefic reviews
Sherlock might scoff at this 'caring' lark. But John Watson's situation cries out to be 'solved' and there is nothing that Holmes likes more than solving things. A series in four parts. 1 The Flat. 2. The Limp. 3. The Shaking Hand. 4. The Nightmares.
