General search for medical fics where John heals Sherlock (bbc version)

[ttime42.livejournal.com]

Hello all!
I'm looking for any kind of fic where Doctor Watson helps Sherlock heal. Putting a plaster on it, driving him to the hospital, setting a broken limb, helping Sherlock recover from a mental or emotional trauma, etc. I prefer physical healing to mental healing, but either is fine. Gen or slash. The healing doesn't need to be the focus of the story, but ideally it would be a large part. I've looked through the tags, but just wanted to see if there was anything I missed or any 'must-reads' anyone can rec. I appreciate the help! Thx.

Rating: Explicit
Relationships: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson

Meanwhile, there is a murder to solve, and John must try and convince Sherlock not to sacrifice his own health for the sake of the case. Eventual John/Sherlock Hurt/Comfort case fic. Post the Great Game

Electric Pink Hand Grenade (67769 words) by BeautifulFiction
Rating: Explicit
Relationships: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Summary: "If Sherlock's brain is a hard drive, then these attacks are an electro-magnetic pulse." Sherlock Holmes does not do anything by half, not even a migraine. It falls to John to witness one of the greatest minds he has ever known tear itself apart, and he must do his best to help Sherlock pick up the pieces.

Hindsight (21265 words) by LapisLazuli
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Relationships: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson

A Week in the Country (20316 words) by chainsaw_poet
Rating: Not Rated
Characters: John Watson, Sherlock Holmes (gen)
Summary: Sherlock's lifestyle has taken its toll on his health and John is worried. With Mycroft's help, John coerces Sherlock into taking a holiday in the country to get some rest. Unfortunately, their trip doesn't quite turn out to be a relaxing as John had planned, when Sherlock's latest case decides to catch up with them.

Helpless (12745 words) by ivyblossom
Rating: Mature
Relationships: Sherlock/John
Summary: John, ever the good doctor, notices something not quite right about Sherlock. Biopsy, diagnosis, surgery, and radiation: Sherlock lives through thyroid cancer treatment. Think that's in poor taste? I actually kind of agree with you. This fic is written by a thyroid cancer survivor (me!) for a thyroid cancer survivor going through treatment round two. Its purpose in life is to stamp all over the nasty experience with slashy goodness. I have inserted shippy joy all over the experience, wherever I could. This is a hurt/comfort cancer story wrapped in loviness, sexytimes, and "how they got together" fun for a friend who really needs something else to think about whilst in radioative isolation. Apologies to anyone offended.

Come Apart at the Seams (21367 words) by harlequindreaming
Rating: Mature
Relationships: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Summary: Sherlock’s often considered his body and everything else as merely transport for his brain. Then the transport starts to malfunction and everything goes to pieces. Everything comes apart.

(Warning this one does not have a happy ending)

"If you make one sound, utter a word, Sherlock, if you scream or beg for mercy, then I'll shoot him." Sherlock and John are captured. Moriarty has plans for them. Rated T for basically everything nasty.

A Love with No Name (http://archiveofourown.org/series/7346) By IvoryNovilist - A Series of One Shots In which Asexual!Sherlock and Straight!John are platonically in love life partners. Not all of them but many of them are about John healing Sherlock in one way or another.


WIP:
Not the King's Men (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9086628/1/Not-the-King-s-Men) by StoneWingedAngel
John finds Sherlock three years after he thought he'd buried him, scared and injured; broken to such an extent he can barely recognise those trying to help him. Battling against too many unanswered questions and his own feelings, John sets out to put him back together, but never stops to consider Sherlock's return may be part of a greater punishment in store for the both of them.

Only three chapters are up but it seems to be shaping upto something very intersting.

Hope you find some of these to be what your looking for.
