**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!

Hi all,
I'm looking for BBC Sherlock slash fics, preferably long, slow build ones, where Sherlock is in a relationship with another man, who is not either John or Lestrade. Basically, I'm looking for long slash fics that have Sherlock as one of the partners, but are not Johnlock or Sherstrade. The other person can be an OMC, a crossover character, a more minor character from Doyle canon, anyone. Just curious to see how such a relationship would be percieved by the other characters, particularly John.
Thanks!

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:

Title: Painted by Numbers
Author Woe-in-a-hoodie or Malacophilous?

Many thanks

Please help an old fangirl....Once upon a time (I think this was before the 2009 RDJ movie was released, actually), I read a Victorian/ACD fanfic where Holmes does his whole 'reappear to Watson' thing, and Watson faints and then comes to.

Holmes then spends a long time talking about how he watched Watson look for him at the Falls, but he was so smart, and he stayed out of sight, etc, etc. Watson is getting angrier and angrier through this whole explanation and finally punches Holmes. He is really emotional and says something like "You were looking (laughing?) at my ruin, Holmes!". I think they kiss at some point after, and then Watson is ashamed/embarrassed (in a very Victorian way). The fic ends up being Holmes/Watson.

I also think there's something about Watson basically being on the verge of being homeless- Mary has died, his practice has failed, he has had to let his maid go, he owes creditors everywhere, etc.

I may be mixing two fics up in my head, too. I really remember the "You were looking at my ruin" scene.

Oh dear friends, please help me with this fic. It's probably my absolute favorite of all Sherlock/John I've ever read, but somehow I never bookmarked it? I've searched all the ways I can think to and just no sign of it... I dearly hope it's not deleted or something. I'm pretty sure it was on AO3.

Under cut because it's an extra-long description==>

Sherlock loves, like REALLY LOVES John. )
I love this fic like Sherlock loves John. Please please please someone out there know what I'm talking about? I will be forever in your debt!!! <3

I have been driving myself crazy searching for a fic I read a while ago! It was set in the modern "BBC-Sherlock" universe post reichenbach and had at least ten chapters which were all pretty long. It was sort of a mix of hurt/comfort and Johnlock romance. A few chapters into the story Sherlock takes a fall and breaks both his wrists. This means that John needs to take care of him in a very intimate fashion during the healing, which is at first very awkward but ends up bringing them closer and admitting their feelings to eachother. Also, Sherlock shows John some awful scars he has on his back from an assult, and finally confides in him what painful things happened during the hiatus. I really loved the story and would be very happy if someone could tell me where to find it!

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 :)

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Can anyone point me in the direction of either a fic or published pastiche with a Holmes/OFC pairing? I have the inexplicable urge to read this, but can't find anything outside Holmes/Adler or the Mary Russell series, neither of which do I find very appealing. No preference about rating (I'll take G to explicit) but ACD canon only, please.

Thank you from a very confused new LiveJournal user :)

Sherlock hires John as his date for a week long Christmas trip to see his mother. I am reasonably certain I read it at AO3, but my bookmarks don't have it.

Thank you.

Hi All! I am looking for a story in which John is involved in an accident at sea as a child and is rescued by merboy Sherlock. I think at this point Sherlock recognises him as his soulmate. Anyways, John develops a fear of water and years later his therapist talks him into going on a cruise with her. Sherlock (who has found John again by this point) pulls him overboard. I remember that Sherlock can transform his tail into legs (in a very Splash way) and at some point gets locked up by Lestrade for wandering around naked whilst trying to find John.  It was rather excellent and I should have bookmarked it (proceeds to kick herself).

Whilst on the subject, if anyone has any good recommendations for fics where Sherlock is a supernatural or mythical creature it would be muchly appreciated. I am especially interested in fae or merlock and tend to like my Sherlock a little dark, possessive, clingy and very much in love with poor overwhelmed John. Many thanks in advance...

The story I'm looking for is a university au. Greg and John had just met while moving into their new residence. Sherlock and Mycroft came a few mins later. The boys get pretty close to the point that Sherlock has no problem sleeping with either. I remember a scene where they go on holiday and have to share a king size bed together. And that's all I'm going to say about that. Don't want to give away too many spoilers! Lol its a great story. Please help. Thank you!

I've just read'Reading subtext' by Englandwouldfall at AO3, it's about Sherlock wooing/flirting with an oblivious John, would you rec me other fics like this?
[identity profile] slash-addict.livejournal.com
Hey,
I think this was on FFN. Sherlock and John met when they were toddlers and have been inseparable ever since. When John decides he want to become a doctor but refuses to take money from the Holmes'. So he enlists in the army for training. I believe Mycroft help by shortening the time he has to serve in Afghanistan, but it mean he will be gone the whole tour without leave to return sooner. It is John being away that causes Sherlock to resort to drugs. John does not know about the drugs. I don't remember if they are married or not. I think Lestrade may know about them but am not sure. Everyone finds out when John returns injured. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi All!

I'm new to the fandom and come looking for two specific types of stories.  Thank you ahead of time!

1.) Any lengthy Johnlock fiction where John and Sherlock start off as friends but slowly develop an intense, deeply codependent love.  For example, both main characters feel like they can't breathe without each other.  (Because I apparently have the mindset of a 14 year old girl lol.)   AU, canon, or otherwise are okay.  Any rating, too.  I'm very open-minded.

2.) Are there any fics out there that start with John and Sherlock knowing each other as kids?  Sort of like a kid!verse that lasts all the way until they live together as adults (AU or otherwise) at Baker street?  I'd definitely prefer Johnlock ones.  Again, any rating or warning.

Thank you all so much!

Hey Everyone,

I am trying to find a funny story I read a while back. It is set in the SHerlock BBC verse.  In it Sherlock appraches John for advice on how to write a loveletter, not telling John who he is writing to. John of course is jealous but helps out as much as he can since Sherlock won't give him any additional information.  Eventuall the letter turns out to be for John.  I think I read it on FanFiction.

Does this ring any bells for anyone?

And Stand There at the Edge of My Affections by Colordink

Hi guys, I'm looking for a Sherlock/John fic where our boys go over to the Holmes' mansion for Christmas (I believe, though it may be another holiday), and all of Sherlock's family are there to meet them. I believe there is a relative which knits John a scarf/hat, a relative who is flirty and (i think) is a designer and quite like's John's butt, and a batty great aunt/grandma who has made up all the rooms in certain themes.

The main point of the story is that Sherlock's whole family believe that Sherlock and John are together; which they are not, but do end up getting together towards the end.

I remember Sherlock and John kissing in the back-garden and being caught by the relatives and someone says something to the effect of "It's great how you two kiss as if it is your first kiss" - when in reality it is their first kiss.

It's been bugging me for ages, and I wondered if you could help me. Thank you in advance!

I may have gotten some details mixed up, please don't hate me if I have.

I don't remember much about this fic, but here it goes:
John is in the flat, and he keeps having reasons not to leave it.  It's raining and there's a leak in the roof.
Sherlock comes in (I'm not sure if he was there from the beginning) and talks to John, giving him more reasons to stay in.  Until eventually (here's where the spoilers come in) he tells John that he's been dead/in a coma this whole time, drowned in the pool scene, and that's why he can't leave the flat.
Then the water rushes in and John accepts death.
I'm not sure if it was John/Sherlock or a gen fic.  Though I am pretty sure it was on AO3.
