Hi, so I just spent like 20 minutes trying to track down a Johnlock fic I remember reading years ago that I occasionally come back to but it seems like it might have been deleted? It was called “the luxury of the wedding ring” by nefariosity. If anyone has an explanation for why it’s been scrubbed or has a download file and is willing to share I’d appreciate it very much. This was one of my favorite johnlock fics and I have no idea why it’s missing when the authors a03 profile is still up? Why delete this one fic?

Summary of fic: The year is 1991. Most people think that arranged marriages between young omegas and older alphas in the UK are a thing of the distant past, but John Watson is about to discover otherwise.

 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!

I'm going to feel really stupid when this is found, I just know it...

I'm looking for an ACD era fic that involves Watson's leg wound. Holmes realizes after watching Watson's limp that Watson wasn't just shot in the leg, but partially in the groin. Because of this, Watson finds it difficult to enjoy intimacy, and feels like he has nothing to offer a relationship. It's slash, but only just - it is definitely implied that Watson is primarily heterosexual but he allows Holmes to attempt to comfort him sexually. Could someone please locate this so I can stop driving myself crazy and start kicking myself for not realizing where it is? (I'm sure I will be.) Thanks so much. :D

hi all!

I'm looking for a John/Sherlock fic. I don't remember much except that I think that John was trying to keep the depth of his feelings from Sherlock. John ends up in hospital - and there's something about a house? or a ring? - which Sherlock discovers when John is in hospital. Sherlock draws a picture of their hands with wedding rings on them. The only thing I remember pretty clearly is the ending, which is then in Sussex, with Sherlock's drawing hanging on the wall.

Thank you!

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?

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:

Author Woe-in-a-hoodie or Malacophilous?

hi all

I'm looking for two fics - both bbc verse.

1. Uni AU Johnlock fic. I remember they are in the same chem class, and John keeps making awful chemistry puns that no one gets but Sherlock. They start to become friends, and I feel like there's a coffee shop scene. And when they do get together, they laugh a lot. They tell jokes like "what do you call a blind doe" and "what's brown and sticky". John says that sex is meant to be fun. This is a pretty long fic. It's John trying to seduce Sherlock with the puns and jokes. There's a scene where John sends Sherlock a code (?) - a chemical formula, maybe - and Sherlock spends a week trying to decipher it. There's also a scene where Sherlock I believe refers to "The Aristocrats" - the infamous dirtiest joke in the world - and John says "don't you ever tell that joke in our bed" or something?

2. An established relationship Johnlock fic where John and Sherlock are in a long-term relationship. Harry and (I think) Clara get pregnant (maybe using John's sperm as a donor, I think), and Sherlock becomes obsessed with the idea of having a baby with John - observing all the changes in maybe-Clara as her pregnancy progresses. He approaches John with the idea, but John doesn't think that he's serious - but he says he'll consider it if Sherlock is really serious. Sherlock takes to babysitting a neighbour's baby to practice, and John gradually realizes Sherlock really wants it. They decide to get a surrogate. They argue about whose sperm to use as the donor sperm - Sherlock wants a baby John, and John wants a baby Sherlock. They decide it's going to be John's sperm. It's a really sweet, quiet fic. The scene where John tells Sherlock yes to them having a child is with them lying in bed. Also, this isn't kidfic really because the baby isn't born until the very end, it's really all about the process of them negotiating whether they're going to have a child together. There is also a thread where Harry and maybe-Clara are preparing to move to San Francisco for maybe-Clara's job, which creates anxiety for Sherlock as he's obsessing over the pregnancy/baby thing.

thanks for any help!

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.

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.

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.

I'm really embarrased to be posting twice in a row, but I've misplaced another fic. (I've been on a fic crawl, trying to add to my collection.) It has to do with Mycroft continually attempting to recruit John. I believe the reason is they discovered that he has far more training/security clearance than they first thought. Mycroft keeps trying to convince John to become an agent, and John keeps brushing him off. At one point Mycroft even tries to tell John that surely he's bored with Sherlock now, and he could provide more opportunities for action, etc. At first John is fairly easygoing about it, then he gets snappy and tells Mycroft that no means NO, and finally he threatens to punch him in the face if he doesn't back off. I think he makes his point by reminding Mycroft of who trained him, and that Mycroft is not likely his match, even if he was trained by MI5. Does this ring any bells with anyone? (I have a weakness for BAMF!John, so while I'm hoping to find this exact story, I'll take similar ones if anyone has them. But hopefully somebody recognizes this.) Thanks loads!

I'm going to feel really stupid when this is found, because I'm pretty sure I read this recently. I'm looking for a relatively short fic that involves Holmes and Watson spending the night in a cabin, snowed in/caught in a blizzard. The trick is, the author wrote the same scenario from three different perspectives - book canon/Granada, RDJ verse, and Sherlock. All three were very well written, very in line with the tone of that particular fandom. No major detailsto speak of, although I know the RDJ bit included the 'old cock, mother hen' routine, and the Sherlock bit involved them needing to stop because Sherlock saw the cabin and stood up on the snowmobile, which resulted in him being hit on the head by a low hanging branch. Sound familiar?

Edit: Found (extremely quickly, as always) in comments.

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!!

I've just changed my ereader and lost a couple of fics I downloaded and which I may had asked here before about (my brain is like a sieve). One had John sleeping with an urn containing Sherlock's ashes, the other had Molly substututing a calf's brain for Sherlock's and John nicking the jar and keeping it in his wardrobe. Any suggestions?

Hi, I'm trying to find a fic and all I can remember is Sally saying "What did he follow you home" and John replying, "Yes, how do I get him to stop?"

Or something along those lines.

I think it might have been on A03.

Please help if you know what fic I'm talking about. I'm sorry I can't remember much else, but I do know it was a Sherlock/John fic.

Hey all, I'm trying to find a fic, I think on AO3, in which a teenage-ish Sherlock babysits a young John. It's a pretty long fic, and though it ends up as Sherlock/John, none of the relationship stuff happens until the story catches up with the canon timeline and John, though younger, is well passed the age of consent. It deals a bit also with Sherlock's drug addiciton and John's stepfather being sort of a dick and sending John off to military school when he's still quite young. I remember there's a bit just before John gets shipped off for Afghanistan when he realizes he's in love with his former babysitter and tries to go confess to Sherlock, only to have Sherlock's surprise boyfriend Victor Trevor (who's an asshole) answer the door (and act like an asshole). I know it's vague, and it probably sounds similar to several of the stories like this, but I really enjoyed it and if it rings a bell for anyone I'd really appreciate.

Also, any other babysitter!Sherlock/younger!John stories you can think of are also appreciated. I really love that trope!

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!!

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

ETA: FOUND!!! and so quickly!! by the amazing and beautiful [livejournal.com profile] aerye A million thanks, doll!!!
