John in the Army, slash/pre-slash or gen

[lindsey-grissom.livejournal.com]

Hi!

I'm desperately looking for fics that feature Army!John quite heavily. It can be AU fics where Sherlock and John meet while John is still in the Army or just where John's military history comes into play on a case, or just John reconnecting with the people he served with. Anything really where we see the Army side of John Watson.

All help is very appreciated. I'm a big Sherlock/John shipper so I'd lean more towards that pairing in fics than any other John pairing and preferably I want it to be Sherlock who's seeing this side of John. Any rating and any length (though honestly who doesn't like a nice long fic?)

BBC-Sherlock more than the 21stcentury and book-verses, please.

Thank you in advance!

Thank you SO much. It's perfect (and deliciously long). Thanks!

Seconding the rec for Two Two One Bravo Baker.

mazarin221b's Waiting There For You series (http://archiveofourown.org/series/11456) is just lovely, too. It has John going back to Afghanistan.

Lovely! Thank you! I now have my lunch break reading sorted (although how I'll manage to pull myself away from the fics and actually do what I'm paid for after lunch I can't say...)

Short but wonderful fic where Sherlock is injured and John becomes his 'Army Medic' self and has some haunting memories from his time during the war.

One of my favourites...still don't know why it isn't more well known in the fandom.

That was really great! And I agree with you, it should be something that more people read and remember. Thanks for making me one of those people.
