Hi, I'm new here, but I've been searching for these two stories all over the place, and I'm desperate.

The first one: I think it's on fanfiction.net but I could be wrong. I know it's set in the BBC verse, and Sherlock comes home to find John dead, supposedly of natural causes. Sherlock shuts down and Mycroft and Lestrade come and have to force Sherlock away from John's body. Afterwards, when Molly is about to do the autopsy, John starts breathing. It turns out that he was poisoned by Moriarty.

The second: It's set in ACD verse. Not sure of the website, but I think it's in Lestrade's POV. Basically Holmes tells Watson to go to a barn and free a girl while he and the officials take on the bad guys. It turns out Holmes is wrong and the thugs are actually in the barn and Watson walks in on them. When Holmes sees the kidnapped girl, he immediately runs out. When he gets there, Watson had been beaten badly and stabbed and they had hanged him to the rafters. I'm pretty sure he didn't die.

Any help would be appreciated.

Current Mood: calm

Ok, I'm out of my mind trying to find this fic; I read it between 6 months to a year ago, and I'm almost sure it's a oneshot. It starts with Sherlock confronting Mycroft about their father's death, as he'd been recently working on a case that made him realize that Mycroft had killed their father when they were children. Mycroft at first panics and tries to make excuses and use subterfuge, but in the end the truth comes out, that he was abused for years by his father, and that he only killed him, by poisoning his drink with pills of some sort, when the bastard started to move in on little Sherlock.

All of the story takes place in the flat, though there are plenty of flashbacks, and at first Sherlock doesn't want to believe Mycroft, but John is there to serve as mediator and make Sherlock realize the truth. The story ends with Sherlock starting to remember bits and pieces of their childhood which explains why Mycroft was always crying and distant, and the two of them hug it out on the couch.

I'm pretty sure I read it on FF.net and not AO3, but I could be wrong. Please help if you have any idea what I'm talking about. It was a very good fic and I'd love to read it again.

So I remembered this fic from the old kinkmeme (sherlockkink). I think it was called The Contract, and it was a multipart but never-finished fill for an arranged marriage prompt. And it may have disappeared forever from the Internet, but on the off chance that it is available somewhere, I really would like to read it again.

It was set in the Victorian era, but with some alternate history things about the British upper classes having developed a sort of institutionalised version of Greek pedagogical eros that combined with really only needing one son to continue the family line and devolved into (often creepy and exploitative) mandatory arranged relationships for younger sons. From what I remember, the author put a lot of thought into how the legal system, courtship traditions, and fashions would work within the society.

And it was super-creepy. Moriarty had not-so-secretly had his eye on Holmes for a few years (long before such attention would be considered appropriate even in-universe) and convinced Holmes's father (who is deathly ill) that the best way to provide for his two sons is for him to designate in his will that Sherlock be married to Moriarty. The rest of the fic was Holmes, Watson, and Mycroft trying (unsuccessfully, thus far) to contest the legality of the change and Moriarty planning all of the devious things he's going to do once he has Holmes in his clutches.

If anyone remembers it and/or knows if the author ever reposted it somewhere else (or if you are the author and I can persuade you to repost it), that would be much appreciated!!

So, there's this canon fic in which Holmes is working on a Super Serious Business case. He's about to go out by himself to do Case Solving Things, and he tells Watson that under no circumstances should Watson leave Baker Street while he's gone, because it's vital to the case, etc. Then, right before he leaves, he grabs Watson in an epic bear hug for apparently no reason. Watson's like, omg what does this mean? Could my dreams be coming true? So anyway Holmes leaves, but soon afterwards a lady comes to 221B all terrified like " I need detective protection immediately! Dudes are stalking me!" And Watson's like I can't just give this lady the finger, so he writes a telegram to Lestrade so he can tell Holmes why he left, and then ollies out with this lady. She leads him to this big spooky house but ditches Watson once inside because guess what IT'S A TRAP! AND SHE WAS IN ON IT! And then Watson's ambushed by hooligans and knocked out and shit.

So long story short, the whole thing was part of Holmes's case; the hooligans were his targets, and the hug was Holmes planting some kind of ..... Thing on Watson that he needed to smuggle into the house. (Watson wakes up in a closet after being ambushed and Holmes is in there. He also wakes up while being cuddled because Holmes needed to take the thing he planted /off/ of Watson. Right, Holmes. Sure.) moral ofthe story is: Watson feels real bad not only because he's always the unwitting pawn in Holmes's schemes, but also because he thought the hugs and the cuddling and the intense looks preceding and proceeding said actions meant that Holmes actually cares for him in a way that doesn't have anything to do with being the admiring audience, secretary, wingman with a gun handy, etc.

So yeah. Long-ass explanation. I don't remember how the fic ended, and I'm dying to. So please. Help wanted.

EDIT: Just kidding! I found it myself.

Can anyone point me in the direction of supernatural themed fics of any description for either BBC Sherlock or ACD Canon? It can be something with a rational explanation as per Hound of the Baskervilles - or vampires, werewolves, ghosts, spooky atmosphere, AUs, crossovers, etc. Non-slash only, please!

Thanks in advance for any recs :)

Hi!

I am hoping you guys can help. I am looking for some Sherlock Holmes stories, which were all by the same author. I don't remember if they were Movie verse or ACD. I read them on Fanfiction.net, but I am hoping they are posted elsewhere as they are no longer on that website.

1. First stories title (I believe) has the words letter and Cumberland in it. Watson receives a letter from an old army buddy's widow, so he and Holmes goes to the funeral and as some point they go on a walk and Watson falls off of a waterfall and almost drowns. Holmes saves him and Watson becomes very sick. Lots of h/c ensues! Very well written story.

2. In the second story Watson has been kidnapped, beaten, and dumped at Baker st. as a message to Holmes, Watson is found by a homeless man who goes and gets Holmes. Eventually Watson is at the hospital while Holmes tries to find the men who hurt him and the homeless man keeps watch over Watson to protect him.

All her stories were gen, and very well written. I would love to read them again! Thank you!

I'm looking for a story that I read ages ago; I've had no luck searching for it and it's driving me mad.
Here's what I vaguely remember: it was a Doyle-canon story, not sure if Holmes/Watson slash or just gen. They are at a fancy event/party, going their separate ways. Holmes witnesses the son of the host complaining about a mad guest, causing a scene and talking gibberish. Turns out it's Watson, conversing with the hosts father (grandfather?) in fluent latin.
Help, please?

I would also be interested in reading any fics that emphasis Watson's ability to (unexpected) foreign languages in any canon.
Thank you!

This is a direct quote from an email from a friend:

John believe that he is hallucinating Sherlock, but in actuality he isn't. It was a really good story that had John returning to military service after Sherlock's death and getting very seriously wounded; he loses his entire arm this time. And John learns that Sherlock is real when he is fixing tea and something happens where Sherlock has to act quickly to help him.

Anyone have any ideas what fic it is?

I need help finding this fic!

Due to unfortunate past computer issues, my bookmarks are a little disorganized. So I can’t find this story that my friend and I are looking for. If you read fics., can you help find it?

From what I remember is that this story is about John ending up in a parallel world with a parallel Sherlock after a warehouse standoff incident. John goes through most of the story being oblivious to what happened to his original Sherlock. I can't remember which Sherlock he ends up with in the end. There is some mature Johnlock scenes involved. It is a heartwrenching story and an almost impasse in the end. It was very well written and it also had many chapters, perhaps as much as 20+ chapters. Does anyone know what this is? Help would be greatly appreciated! :)

ETA: Found. Thank you!

Hi!

I am looking for a Johnlock missing story:

- It's a casefic
- It's complete
- Sherlock and John investigations into missing persons found dead with something in their stomachs (a box?).
- They find a person still alive that explains the process of the murderer.
- I think the dead were part of a cult and they used people to transport in hiding drugs.
- John is kidnapped by the killer who tries to open his belly before Sherlock arrives.

Thank you by advance and sorry for my bad english! =="

Hey,

I'm looking for a series. I know I read it on AO³ but can't find it now.
BBC!Sherlock is asexual but he and John are in a relationship, they don't have really sex but do otherthings instead like John washes Sherlock or massages his feet. John is content with this and loves it.
I think but I could be mixing fics they get married at the end and the series was finished?

I hope you reconise this series :)

Edit: I remembered some more. Sherlock experiments on John about what he likes, first Johns back, than his front and than on Sherlock. And they try that John gives him a BJ but it's to much sensory input for Sherlock and they have to stop. Sherlock was quiet upset about it.
And there was a Silvesterparty at the MET in the gym, but this could be a other fic I'm not sure.

Does anyone recall the name of a H/W fic in which Holmes and Watson leave for the Continent following Oscar Wilde's conviction? I'm pretty sure it is (or was) on Ao3 and was written for an exchange of some kind, but I'm not finding it. I'm also pretty certain it was ACD-based, although, based on when I remember reading it, it could have also been inspired by the Ritchieverse. Sorry for the vagueness. Thanks!

EDIT: Found (maybe?)! It's probably rainuponthemoon's Men Like Us, but I'd love to catch up with anyone who remembers similar fics and discussions of H/W and Wilde from a few years back.

I vaguely remember a story where John has been hiding who he is from everyone around him. I can't remember what his secret was - maybe he was an omega, or some other type of fugitive. Anyway, I remember him being a total BAMF and knowing all kinds of combat moves. There was a scene where his would-be captors cornered him in a grocery store, and people ended up helping him escape because John had been on the news and the public was rooting for him to get away.

Iirc, the story was never finished. Maybe the author left fandom? Does anyone know where I can find this story, or how I could get my hands on a copy?

Thanks!

ETA: It appeared to be Velvet Mace's The Chameleon, but it looks like it's not now, 10/14 chapters in. If anyone has any idea what story I'm talking about, please don't let the *found tag turn you off.

Once again, I didn't use my bookmarks right. *sigh*

Anyway, there's a party and Sherlock ends up in a vest and body paint. There's a scene where Sherlock and John are under a bed together.

Hi everyone, I'm finally finding time to play in the fanfic world again. (Hooray). I'm looking for a fic I read a while ago. It was Sherlock/John set in a Sherlock BBCverse AU. Sherlock is a prince and as the second son his marriage is arranged to a commoner (or lesser nobility????) who he has never met before (John). John still has his cane and he is marrying Sherlock to try and help provide for Harry (emotional support I think vs financial). They fall in love while working on a case (I think before the wedding). I remember on scene where the talk through a door (against the rules) at a fitting for their wedding garb.

Ring any bells for anyone?

Thanks,
Rairakku

Hello! I fell in love with a fic on ao3 a while ago (with multiple chapters, explicit) and for the life of me I cannot find it anymore! Its about Sherlock and John entering into a fake relationship as there is a killer targeting homosexual couples. They travel to different places- NYC, a seaside town (I think?). They also "join" a Same-Sex Church (or a church that is accepting of them), and I think the murders are also of a religious nature where the couples are murdered together. Also, Sherlock and John buy a dildo and both use it, and John walks in on Sherlock while he is using it and they end up having sex. God I'm trying to remember random details. Any help would be so so appreciated!! Thanks :)

EDIT: I found it! http://archiveofourown.org/works/853517?view_full_work=true

Hi,

It was a long BBC Sherlock fic where, for some reason, John is back in Afghanistan with some American service men and a bomb dog I think and near the end their convey gets hit and John suffers some serve injuries and is shipped back where Sherlock tells him to rest but John shakes his head.

Any idea?

Greetings, all. I'm looking for an old fic, ACD or perhaps Ritchieverse? It's pretty ambivalent, but most certainly Victorian era. It's a few months into Watson's marriage and Mary can tell he misses Holmes but isn't necessarily cognizant of the reasons. She arranges to visit a friend out of town so the men can have some time to reconnect. Which they do, with an eventual declaration of love/lust. This is probably pretty generic, but there's one line that Holmes says to Watson that's absolutely beautiful. It's something like "You were willing to be damned for murder. Aren't you willing to be damned for love, too?"

Edit: Found!!!

Hello,
I’m looking for some fic recs that deal with the (direct) aftermath of the swimming pool face-off in 1x03. It doesn’t have to be canon compliant – so it doesn’t acknowledge the canon way it was resolved in 2x01. At the end of 1x03 it really could have still gone anyway and I would just love to read some fics which deal with that. Either it happened like in canon, but an author expounds on this shared and quite scary experience between Sherlock and John and doesn’t just ignore it like in the TV Series. Or these fics have their own take on what happened after 1x03 and expand upon that idea.

I just finished reading Light Our Own Fires (2010) by blackeyedgirl and absolutely loved her take on the aftermath and how she further worked it out. And that has given me an appetite for more stories using that setting / plot.
I don’t mind if it is gen or slash and any rating is good.
I enjoy all kinds of genres: angst, fluff, est. rel, getting together, friendship!fic, H/C, humor and so on.

Although I’m not a great fan of very overt BDSM or D/s stories. A little bit of spanking or binding or jokingly calling someone sir during sex-scenes are ok, but someone only getting off on pain (receiving or giving) and the other aspects of the BDSM scene kinda squick me. Also not the greatest fan of an actual Dom/sub relationship, I just can’t see the appeal . I respect it as a lifestyle-choice, but it just squicks me and thus I don’t want to read about it.

Thank You in advance

PS I hope I tagged ok, but I wasn’t entirely sure which tags to use (I used the tags that I think are probably going to reflect the stories)

I'm going away on a trip. I will be on a plane for nearly ten hours and fanfiction seems like a good way to fill the time.

I love

earlgreytea68 and I've read most of verityburns' and emmagrant01's stories on AO3.

So, can anyone recommend long BBC Sherlock stories to me? Case fic is great, wonderful, cheer-worthy. Slash or friendship between John and Sherlock is lovely; I don't want them working against each other. No major character deaths, though the aftermath of the leap from St. Bart's is fine. I don't mind if one or more of them is involved with a woman (threesome stories are fine, too). I like D/s relationships, if there are any out there. Sherlock as asexual works. Any rating is good.

Thank you all.
