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.

Hi all,
I'm looking for any fics where Sherlock is damaged/traumatized/hurt in some way resulting in Mycroft having to either assume adult guardianship over him, or him having to live with Mycroft. Basically, I'm looking for fics where Mycroft is an awesome big brother and has to look after adult Sherlock on an involved, permanent level. I'm also interested in any fics where Sherlock is traumatized or hurt somehow, and keeps asking for Mycroft, or Mycroft is the only person he'll let near him.
Similarly, any fics where Sherlock lives with Mycroft, for whatever reason, or vice versa, would be great.
Thanks : )

Hey everyone!

To celebrate the (impending) end of finals week, I'm looking for fics in which John doesn't understand why Sherlock loves him, and needs to be convinced, because he thinks he's not at all special enough for Sherlock. Anything permutation on that is fine, given that it's Sherlock/John. No specs on length, rating etc. As long as it's John not understanding Sherlock's attraction, because he's not unattractive or anything, and he's fairly confident, but Sherlock is a miracle, and why him

Yes, this was roughly inspired by "Entirely Covered in Your Invisible Name" by Wordstrings, which is a fic that makes me weak at the knees no matter how many times I've read it. :)

Lots of Love,
Lady Merlin

I'm looking for fics where someone is feeling a bit starved for affection. Maybe Sherlock has convinced himself he's above all that and doesn't need it (but he does), maybe Lestrade has thrown himself into his work after his divorce and has been alone too long. Maybe Mycroft realizes it's pretty lonely at the top. My favorites are John, Sherlock, Mycroft and Lestrade in any combination thereof. Bring on the cuddles! BBC verse is preferred. Thanks!

BBC verse, John/Sherlock. John's last (only?) boyfriend was horrible and treated him badly, borderline domestic abuse, so he's not exactly enthusiastic about entering into a relationship with Sherlock because he thinks it'll be the same. I think the ex's name was Tom? Sherlock never finds out who he is (although of course he wants to, so he can exact revenge) and he sets about convincing John that it can be better. And it is.

The story is a classic and awesome and deliciously slow paced and gentle. I think I read it on AO3 before. Any clues are appreciated, thanks!

Hi everyone

I'm back a and just a big thank you to everyone who sent me recs lat time :D

I'm wondering if any of you can help me find any long fics (over say 9000 words) with Sherlock/John or Sherlock/Holmes. I love both BBC!Sherlock and the RJD version so recs from both would be brilliant. What I'd really love is long, plotty fics which show how *much* these two love each other. They can banter and moan at each other, that's who they are and I'm happy to have hurt/comfort and angst but I'd just like to read fics where they are also completely in love, where they trust each other to watch watch their backs, they trust each other with their hearts and bodies etc. I just wanna read long fics that make us all realise "yep I love this pairing" oh and including our usual suspects - Lestrade, Mrs Hudson, Mycroft etc would be awesome!

Also if any of the recs could have caring/protective!Watson/John I'd love you guys even more

thank you in advance!! Hot milk and cookies - and naked detective/doctor of your choice *G*

I think this was a kinkmeme fic, but I can't find it on the del.ici.ous now. John has died and Sherlock takes to carrying a picture of him around to talk to. Lestrade is a little worried for Sherlock's sanity but Sherlock snaps at him that he's perfectly well aware that John is dead, the picture is just to help him think.

In the end it turns out that John was being held against his will and is alive (yay!) and there is a very sweet reunion scene. I think this story was gen but it may have been pre-slash.

Thanks, again ;-)

EDIT: Found by [livejournal.com profile] equusentric. Thankyou!
