Looking for deceptive John

[checkyagirl.livejournal.com]

I want a John (preferably BBC John) who is not what sherlock expects him to be.
Whether it be something unexpected in the past (assassin,secret service, incarceration, etc), something about him as a person (secretly a serial killer, sociopath,not human[mystical]), or his motives (sent by mycroft, there to kill and/or spy on sherlock for the govt.,etc.)
What I really want is a big reveal. Sherlock at some point finding out about John and what he decides to do about it.
Thanks in advance :-)
Looking for Slash, but gen is good too.

wow, this series just went to the top of my list of favorite fics in ANY fandom. This is so good, and so unique. Thanks a bunch. I will be watching this series for new stories. :-D

Hello bb! This looks like a fantastic search and I look forward to seeing where it goes. Until even more amazing fics are recommended, I'll direct you to a search I myself conducted, looking for AUs with magical realism and superpowers. Now, it doesn't exactly match your request but most of them involve John being something completely unexpected, and special, and Sherlock finding out and appreciating it. I hope you like it! http://sherlock-search.livejournal.com/80302.html#comments

[The government's official file on John Watson is thinner than a fingernail. The unofficial file on their top assassin is the depth of your hand.]

Possibly lacking in a dramatic big reveal, but might still be of interest to you.
