**EDIT**FOUND**

After a lengthy search I was able to find a saved copy from the Internet Archive Fanfiction Repack. Story was called 'Addictions Intertwined' written by Eupa, 5 chapters, rated T, Hurt/Comfort+Romance, 27k. Will leave this up here in case it helps anyone else!

Original Post:

Not sure if I've somehow missed it on fanfiction.net, or if it's been deleted, but can't seem to find an old favourite of mine. I don't know what it's called, or who it's by, but it was in the 'Books: Sherlock Holmes" section, and would have been tagged with 'Romance' (possibly 'Humour'), characters 'Sherlock Holmes' & 'Dr. Watson, rated 'K-T' and written in English. Set in the time period of the original stories. Have a feeling it was probably 4-8k words?

For what I can remember, Watson returns home to Baker Street after losing a young patient, who died because of a cocaine overdose ("5 doctors tried and we couldn't save him") and just as he enters the sitting room finds Holmes there injecting himself with the 7% solution. Watson becomes angry, throws the vial to the ground, saying more than one person would be hurt if Holmes were to die. Watson then goes for a walk and gets rid of Holmes' stash in the river.

The whole idea is that Watson has never yelled at Holmes before, so Holmes is trying to figure out why Watson was so upset (it's a romance story so obviously it's because Watson is in love with him). Anyhow, eventually Watson returns, I can't quite remember what happens but they talk about it all at some point, I'm sure their love & reasonings are revealed. Holmes says he's never been in a romantic relationship before, doesn't know how to love, was "the only acknowledged virgin in his entire year" at school, is ashamed for this. Watson cheers him up by saying some nice things, and no matter what that "you're a fast learner Sherlock" he'll soon figure out how to behave romantically.

There were maybe 6-8 chapters that went back and forth between Holmes & Watson's POVs. First chapter may have begun with Watson writing a letter about it all, last chapter finishes with one?

Even if anyone has an inkling to the name of the story or the author, I'd greatly appreciate it in my quest - thank you!

Years ago, someone recced me J. A. Roberts' books about Sherlock Holmes, which were also supposed to be Holmes/Watson.
The books used to be on lulu (This used to be the old Lulu page), and in total they were four novels. Roberts still has an account on fanfiction.net with their H/W fics too, but I can't find their novels anywhere. Even if the books have been sold in paperback copies, it looks like they are nowhere on the internet.

Does anyone have some information? Do you have these books?
I hope this post is allowed here, technically these books are self published (amazing, from what have been recced to me) fics!

For some reason I remember this one story on fanfiction.net where John discovers Sherlock's drug stash, and he asks Sherlock how does he think they pay for the war. Sherlock assumes John is talking about their side, but gets told off when John tells him Afghanistan is the biggest opium producer and they get their weapons and ammo from selling to rich druggies like Sherlock. Then, John mentions how maybe Sherlock paid for the bullet that nearly killed him. I remember it wasn't a happy ending, with Sherlock throwing out the drugs and asks if John is happy, but it doesn't really fix anything.

Hello. I have been trying to find a Sherlock Holmes ACD verse for quite awhile now. I remember i read the fic on ffn.net and it is multichapters. It rated G or K i dont remember. It's mostly about holmes and watson friendship, very adorable. If i'm not mistaken, the first chapter involved Mrs. Hudson asking Holmes and Watson dont refer by their first name to which they smiled and said "we don't know". And there's also a chapter, in the middle, around 12 or 24 sth idk, that featured holmes and watson on a case and they stayed at their client's house i think. There was a boy with a teddy bear and watson fixed the teddy bear for the kid (and holmes smiled when he saw watson i think).

I could have sworn that the tittle is sth like a fairy tale of baker street or sth, very long name, but i still cant find it. Also, most chapters were often shorted. Thank you.

Edit: i found it! It's Tales of 221B ! The chapter that Mrs. Hudson asked them is chapter 2 not 1, and the tittle is shorter than i remember lol

I'm looking for a Sherlock Holmes fan fic that has Sherlock getting into an accident and caused him to be deaf and blind at least tempoarilly. It's a based on the book series.

Okay, so I posted this to Sherlock Search, but have had no luck. Trying my hand here:

I have tried all variations of google searches and I have looked through many, many tags in various communities but this fic is eluding me. Basically, Moriarty calls John and coerces him to have sex with/rape various people that John does not know over the course of a month or longer. If John does not, the consequences are the death of the person he refuses to assault - I believe the first person is a man who is reported to have "committed suicide" after John refuses. As far as I remember, the noncon is not explicit and the fic deals primarily with John's behavior as someone who has been sexually assaulted(I think Mycroft had to bring this to Sherlock's attention but I may be mistaken).

Other things of note: I remember that Moriarty would call either weekly or regular enough that it almost seemed like John was in cahoots with him, but, again, I think Mycroft (but maybe Sherlock) realizes that the behavior is more in line with abuse. I also seem to remember a discussion in the comments about the complex nature of John being a victim in the fic as he is typically the aggressor in what Moriarty makes him do (EG he has John assault other people at the risk of the other person's life).

This may have been a comment fic or on the kink meme. Please help because I am losing my mind trying to find it.

Hello!
I have a fierce FIERCE hankering for fics which involve Watson not in his right mind or kind of out of it. i.e. Faulty reasoning, hallucinations, distraction, synesthesia or in some way perceiving the world with a skew. This could be because of an injury or madness or magic or because he's a ghost the whole time or anything at all.

ACD is my favorite but I'll welcome any and all verses except for Ritchie.

Here are some wonderful examples/bribes.( Under here )

Thanks!

Hi all,
I'm looking for two specific BBC sherlock fics:
1. Sherlock suffers some form of brain injury that leaves him in a childlike state, John looks after him at Baker Street. I remember John was in a relationship with Mary, and at one point was startled at how good Mary was with Sherlock. Mycroft visits at some point and gives John guardianship of Sherlock, but requests visitation rights or something. I think he also deposits a sum of money in John's bankaccount, because money was tight or something. I think it was on ff . net.
2. A post-Fall fic where Sherlock comes back with an injured leg I think, requiring a cane or something. It was a long fic, and at the end Mycroft danced on the table with sabers or something after losing a bet to Sherlock. They get Sherlock some kind of giant dog that destroys one of his scarfs I think.
Also, if there are any fics where Sherlock returns post-Fall with some kind of physical disability, that would be great too.
Thanks very much!!

I just read a retelling of The Adventures of the Dying Detective in the BBC 'verse and I was reminded of an old story taking place during the case. I remember very little but I'd love to read it again. It takes place in Victorian times and I'm pretty sure it's Holmes/Watson slash or at least pre-slash. I only remember part of it. Watson was very hurt that Holmes didn't trust him as a doctor and believed that everything Holmes had said was right, so he decided to leave. I'm not sure what happened to him then. Holmes notices something is wrong when Watson doesn't return. I think he went looking for him?

Does this seem familiar?

Im not really sure what 'verse these were set in but it HAD to be one of the older ones because both contained stuff like gas lights and carriages that really arent used in the new series so im gonna put this under verse:other since i have no idea what some of the universes in the tags are for.

( both synopsis under here )

Was wondering if any of you tech savvy people could help me. I absolutely loved this BBC Sherlock fic - Painted by Numbers. It was magical realism, John and Sherlock were in a relationship and everyone had a number on their foreheads, supposedly representing their IQ. I've sure a lot of you have read the fic in question but now it's gone. The author has closed/abandoned LJ and Ao3 accounts and I can't find it anywhere.
I know when this has happened before sometimes people can find an archived version somewhere out there in the ether[net]! I tried doing this but no luck and I don't really know what I'm doing.
Anyway I would LOVE to read this again so if anyone has a saved copy or has any idea how to access deleted fic please, please let me know!
The URLs I had for it in my bookmarks were:

Does anyone remember a fic in the ACD-verse where Holmes did go over the Reichenbach Falls and was killed. However, a woman who knew voodoo tried to bring him back to life but when she was unable to complete the ritual, he was left in a half alive state. He managed to drag himself back to London where Mycroft and Watson spend most of the story trying to get him all the way back to life and keep him from decaying (ew!) further. The story may be unfinished, at any rate, I don't remember the ending.
So, does this ring any bells with anyone? I'd really like to find this one again.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a tag for zombie Holmes.

Hope someone can help me find this. Read it years ago. It was bbc verse. Sherlock had deduced that john was attracted to him but was waiting for john to make the first move. John doesnt so sherlock eventually kisses him which goes well except when the kiss is over john denies being gay/attracted. I cant remeber how but Sherlock convinces john to try a relationship and agrees to go very slow. Sherlock eventually deduces that john had a previous homosexual relationzhip but it was abusive. John wont tell him who. Sherlock spends month carefully and lovingly helping john learn a real relationship and how homosexual sex should actually feel. Last seen has them in tbe park sitting next to each other holding hands after john had run away after cinally realizing just how abused he had been by the previous lover.

Any ideas?

I'm looking for a fic in which Watson is fooled by a lady who uses an onion to make herself cry. Holmes sneaks his lock picks on to Watson with a hug, and it causes a huge fuss.

In particular, there's a scene where they're arguing next to the fireplace, and Watson describes all the colour rushing out of Holmes' face and into his as Holmes goes pale and he blushes.

It's possibly Granada verse, but I think it's ACD.

...Or rather a fanfic featuring a custom that was unknown to me, until reading of it in the fic, and it's basically the telling of the bees; in which its exactly what is sounds like: you tell the bees when an important event in your life occurs.

I can't recall much of the fanfic, but I think, unless I'm mistaking it with another, that it was written for an exchange, but can't remember if it was for holmestice or something else and John is the one telling the bees stuff. It's a very good story and the writing style is lovely.

I know that's not much to go on, but I hope this rings a bell and someone can help with the search!

Just like the title said, I'm looking for a story where Hannibal is John's father and Sherlock finds out after they meet on a case. From what I remember John helped his father with killing when he was a kid and that's how he got his training as a doctor. I can't remember what site I found this on, but probably Fanfiction.net or A03.

Hi,

I'm looking for a story where Sherlock cares for John's newborn baby after Mary dies.
I remember that the story starts at the hospital. The baby is left at the neonatal ward and Sherlock fetches her and asks the nurses for instructions on baby formula etc. He is the sole carer of the baby for a long time, John has somehow shut off and is indifferent towards the baby. I think that Sherlock even names her.

I might confuse more than one stories. I remember that Sherlock was fascinated by the baby and kept her with him most of the time. John was drowned in grief and didn't react to the baby crying. I remember that Sherlock took care of both father and child. There was a scene with both John and the baby coming back to Baker Street after the hospital and Sherlock guiding John back inside and upstairs.

I can't believe that I forgot all about it.

Thank you in advance for your answer

ETA: Partially found. The hospital scene is from Just for fun by Littlepippin76.

So the fic that I'm searching for I read on AO3. It's an established Mystrade and in the first chapter Greg is home when there's a knock at the door and there are these two kids,a boy and a girl teenagers twins, and they are there to return Greg's suitcase. The girl sort of freaks out when they discover that Greg is a DI but the boy is ok with it. Mycroft gets home and I think Greg invites them to have dinner and they end up staying the night. Greg gets attached and so does Mycroft, they sort of keep an eye on the kids. The kids father is a drug leader who hits them and forces them to sell drugs. The girl always tries to defend her brother from their abusive father. At one point they run away after the father hits them and the girl defending her brother hits him with something and kills him. Greg and Mycroft send Sherlock and John to find them. I remember that they go to the kids school and Mycroft says that the boy had some disorder that Sherlock had. I remember more of the fic but have research on AO3 and google for the past 3 months or so and haven't been able to find anything, I'm hoping that someone in this community recognizes the fic. I do remember more of the fic but I don't want to give all the plot away, but if someone needs more detail to jog their memory I'm will to give it.

Thank you!!

Hey,
I'm looking for a specific fic I read a while back on ao3, where Lestrade was an alpha of a large pack in London(I think they were actual werewolves) and Mycroft is his omega. Sherlock is also an omega, and I think Molly and Andersen possibly. Omegas are really rare or something. John comes back from Afghanistan a broken alpha without a pack, and he persuades Lestrade to take him in, and ends up submitting to Lestrade. It did pair Mycroft/Lestrade/John together for some scenes, and I think it was part of a series of possibly unrelated but similar fics. It was really long, but I can't for the life of me find it anywhere. Help?
Thanks : )
