Think I am going slightly mad here ... can anyone help?

I am SURE I read a story yesterday (it was part of a series I think) about Sherlock and John playing in bed with a speculum. I am not sure if John had brought it back from the surgery or not! The problem is that I can't find it in my browsing history. I am sure I have gone completely mad. Any one recognise what I am talking aout?

Sociopath BBC Sherlock

Hello,

I'm looking for fic where Sherlock is truly a high functioning sociopath. Short, long, slash, or gen. I'd love a good look at his character as a sociopath. Dangerous of course.

Hello there everyone!

Today I'm on the hunt for Mycroft/Lestrade fics in the BBC 'verse. I'd particularly enjoy them if either one of them was genderswapped, but I'm good with them both being men as well. Just, the best ones you can find. Long, short, plotty, pwp, whatever, as long as it's good.

Thanks in advance,

Lots of Love,
Lady Merlin

John had an evil ex

BBC verse, John/Sherlock. John's last (only?) boyfriend was horrible and treated him badly, borderline domestic abuse, so he's not exactly enthusiastic about entering into a relationship with Sherlock because he thinks it'll be the same. I think the ex's name was Tom? Sherlock never finds out who he is (although of course he wants to, so he can exact revenge) and he sets about convincing John that it can be better. And it is.

The story is a classic and awesome and deliciously slow paced and gentle. I think I read it on AO3 before. Any clues are appreciated, thanks!
