Sherlock touches John’s arm briefly and John’s attention goes back to him instantly. His hand grips Sherlock’s form, bringing him impossibly closer. John presses their heads together, his voice coming to a whisper. “Everything will be okay, darling. I promise. Just hang in there for me. Stay awake.” Darling was on instinct. Really, it’s the only thing that grounds John. Sherlock’s anguished eyes meet John again, though it seems like he’s struggling to do just that.

Omg, I finally finished it! Thanks to all who encouraged me with BAMF John. It meant so much🥰

My obsession continues but be warned ⚠️

I have my John BAMF phase.

I have three reversed Reichenbach stories on my list because I love the idea.

Today, my current read is coming from @srebrnafh and her Burning story.

Please don't ask me why my BAMF John always has a beard in my mind.

It just happens...

Both John and Sherlock are determined to take their relationship to the next level. It’s just a matter of finding the right moment to dare taking the leap. Can a case from Mycroft be just what’s needed?

Happy Birthday, dearest @holmesianlove

I was just reading a fanfic of johnlock which I had read before and it was like BAMF John and in the pool scene while Moriarty is literally whining about shooting he is calm cause he knows the snipers?!! And one of them was GIBBS and now after watching NCIS I realise the connection and I can't stop laughing

[sirleonthelongsuffering]

every day i think more and more about how tim gutterson is literally general watson

[topsyturvy-turtely]

my john watson would be like:

Let’s talk about that last gif for a second. 

Let’s talk about the fact that the world’s only consulting detective was once a lonely university student. 

Let’s talk about the fact that deducing the life stories of his classmates was the only way of connecting with them that Sherlock knew of, and they all hated him because of it.

Do not ever try and tell me that Sherlock Holmes can be defined by his arrogance or perceived superiority. He was a child once. He had insecurities. He never had a single friend. I would bet you anything, anything at all, that he tried as hard as he could to connect with the people around him before realizing he was only making it worse.

And you know what the worst part is? Even though this scene takes place years later, when Sherlock is a confident adult, this jackass still has the power to hurt him. 

If that’s not worth talking about, then I don’t know what is.

By popular demand…

TL:DR

Martin Freeman is a god-like, raging BAMF, jam-covered hedge-kitten.

John raised an eyebrow. “You know, sometimes it’s hard to remember which one of us is the notorious criminal.” Sherlock rolled his eyes, mumbling something about “pedestrian” and “stereotyping”.

Sherlock has some issues (chp. 1*) *3 by text

In which John is a cuddly, BAMF assassin. by notbeloved07 (AO3) Sherlock (TV) – Teen – Sherlock Holmes/John Watson #Alternate Universe #BAMF!John #BAMF!Sherlock #Crack #Assassin!John #Predator/Prey flirtation #Weird Courtship #Some sexual innuendo #Some Moral Ambiguity #Drug use mentioned

This is a fill for this prompt, found (here).

“Sherlock learns that a spat of recent killings was done by a professional assassin. A man so feared that the criminal underworld is afraid to whisper his name. Sherlock goes off on his own to track him down, and is captured.

Sherlock braces himself for a cold-blooded killer, with nerves of steel and no remorse, with a reputation for ruthlessness that makes several hardened criminals check their closets before they go to bed - and meets John. Easygoing, good-natured, cuddly jumper-wearing John. Who thinks he’s brilliant and hilarious, and can he take him out for a coffee?

Cue the weirdest courtship ever. Like, dates being crashed by Russian assassins, epic gunfights in the middle of London, Lestrade and the Yard going WTF, Mycroft questioning his brother’s taste in men, etc.”

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Gotta love how sassy John is every time he interacts with Mycroft. Being protective of the love of your life, John, aren't you? Lol!

ASDFASFDA HONESTLY NONNY!!! John is ready to fight anyone who threatens Sherlock, I love it.

I mean, Sherlock picks up on it so much that EVEN IN HIS COKED OUT FEVER DREAM, he dreams about John's protectiveness of him:

John Stands up to Hooper when John confronts him

John steps in front of Sherlock when Sir Eustace attempts to threaten Sherlock

John shows up out of NOWHERE at Reichenbach to protect Sherlock from Moriarty:

(sorry I can't find my gifs for all of the rest and don't have time to make new ones, LOL!)

Seriously though, I love John so much!!

[dinner--starving]

He never did that for Mary, everyone spoke shit about her and he just stood there. Only Sherlock brought this out of him.

you don’t talk bad about john’s baby even donovan knows that

[doctor-mccoys-sanity]

Does no one use the tag BAMF anymore or?? Bc there’s only 13 Lokius works with BAMF mobius…

[amypihcs]

Hello dear friends! Chapter three is here! Set during the Hound of the Baskervilles because we have one unused night there. They are very much married and cuddle a bit together so be warned. I'm quite sorry to have written like... barely more then 350 words but more then that seemed to me... boh, as we say in Italy, il troppo stroppia.

I imagined Brett!Holmes and Hardwicke!Watson because my imagination for that story sends acd's canon to hell and buys a lot into the Granada adaptation.

I thank my most darling @mostvaliantandmostpround for having betaed this chapter and the usual suspects from the ace and not only ace side of the holmesian community, @multifandomaceflux, @i-dont-talk-for-days-on-end, @skyriderwednesday, @cackled0g, @rainbow-person and @louieclamlent! Love you all guys, thank you so much for your kindness and support!

[not-equippedforthis]

cons of writing case fic:

- you have to make it not totally predictable

- even if it is, you have to keep it interesting

- in order to write sherlock holmes being smart you have to think of the smart things yourself.

- you also have to make the case complicated enough for sherlock to not solve it after smoking a single cigar

pros of writing case fic:

- you can add BAMF john watson

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Hiii. It's oddly specific but are there any Johnlock fics out there based on the movie Bodyguard? I feel that there is a potential in there. Thank youu!

Hi Nonny!

Okay, don't hate me but I have NEVER seen The Bodyguard so I don't know the plot aside from the fact that it probably contains a body guard, LOL.

Reading the Wiki about the plot of it, I don't know of any fics PERSONALLY that are similar to it, but you ARE right, it's RIPE for an AU for SURE. I'd love one too, if anyone knows of any!!!

THAT said, in the mean time, doing a tag search of my lists, here are the fics that came up that might be good to scratch that itch with a body / security guard AU:

====

Sanctuary by a_different_equation (E, 15,437 w., 7 Ch. || Medieval AU / Canterbury Tales Fusion || Blacksmith Sherlock, Guard John, Secret Relationship, Dom Sherlock, Sub John, Porn With Plot, Rimming, Blow Jobs, Anal, BAMF Female Characters) – England, 1230: John Watson is an ex-soldier who works as the head of the guards in his hometown. Sherlock Holmes, the local blacksmith, is his secret.

Real Time by Callie4180 (T, 74,935 w., 25 Ch. || 24 Fusion || Creepy Moriarty, Violence, BAMF Mrs Hudson, Suggestions of Torture, Biochemist Sherlock, Bodyguard John) – The world is under the threat of a biological weapon, and a brilliant biochemist needs protection. His own life is a mess, and he doesn't know who he can trust. He's going to have to be at his best every moment if he's going to survive. This is going to be the longest day of John Watson's life.

Northern Light Series by Minxchester (E, 93,412+ w. across 3 works || Series WiP || Security Guard AU || Security Guard John, Rape / Non-Con, Blackmail, Forced Marriage, Captivity, Assorted Pairings, Suicide Attempt, Depression, Non-Con Touching, Eventual Happy Ending) – Recently returned from the war and struggling to adjust back to civilian life, John Watson is given an unexpected opportunity when he's hired as a security guard by Charles Magnussen on the recommendation of his former comrade, Sergeant Murray. Before long, he finds himself assigned the unusual task of serving as personal bodyguard to Magnussen's reclusive husband. But not everything is as it seems in this household--and John gets a lot more than he bargained for looking after Sherlock Holmes.

If you guys have anything more to Nonny's request, PLEASE let us know!! Or even if you have a guard AU to suggest for us too!!
