"I'd rather have you, cursed or not."

"Sherlock is actually a girl's name."

"I'm with you until the end of the line."

"In all timelines, all possibilities , only you can show me this."

"It'll be lonely without you Fushiguro."

"Perhaps love is the most twisted curse of all."

AND WHAT IF I CRIED

A sudden flurry in the water made him jump back, his breath catching in his throat and locking there, because of everything he'd expected to see, it wasn't this. He stared, screwing up his eyes before opening them again. The view didn't change. He must've fallen and hit his head. It was the only explanation. Maybe he lay flat on his face, unconscious at the bottom of the gantry, and this was all some kind of dream. Even here, in Baskerville, there was no such thing as merfolk. --- When John is invalided out and left as little more than a glorified security guard in Baskerville, life has never looked so bleak. Will a stranger in need of his help set his life on a new course, or will he lose everything in his effort to help this "Sherlock Holmes"?

What were your first ships (one from before you knew what shipping was and one from after)?

Oohhh what a cool question! I guess Doctor Who is probably the earliest I remember shipping anyone (it was the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler, so 2006, when I was 14) although I had previously read some Green Day fanfiction when I was ~12. Those were the days! Once I knew more about shipping and had adapted to the world of fandom, I suppose my biggest ship was John and Sherlock from BBC Sherlock... from which I still have major PTSD. (Honestly, you had to be there. Yikes.) Thanks for your question!

[earlgreyinpajamas]

Your recs are brilliant. Do you ship any other ships? If yes, any fics that you’ve enjoyed? :)

i shipped johnlock once upon a time, and some of the fics that i remember being really good are:

A Chemical Defect Found (On the Losing Side Remix) by AreteArt

A remix of missselene's "On the Losing Side." After Mary's death, John moves back into Baker Street. He and Sherlock stumble into a relationship, or something of that sort. Sherlock's rather giving when it comes to sex, but that doesn't mean he and John ever talk about it.

ugh this made me hurt so bad

2. Gordian by fresne (@fresne999)

On any given day, Sherlock might come out of the bathroom smelling like an Alpha on the hunt (Alpha #8) or an Omega in heat (Omega #9), a Beta brooding (Beta #3), or like no gender at all. The last one was his actual scent, which wasn't so much scentless as confusing. At least in an adult. If Sherlock and John were the sort of people to read Mills and Boon novels, they could have said that what occurred was because destiny intervened and set two destined lovers in their one true pairings' path. It was the lasagna.

While in London on leave, Captain John Watson and a particularly intriguing article of clothing manage to catch the attention of one consulting detective.

Holmes, you're crossing the line... English is not my native language, and I know for sure you insult me. Thrice. "All of you" means I'm included 🔥

Well, nothing more to say. You're stuck in your position and me, in mine, so nothing is even more telling. All this 🔥lovely🔥 conversation I had with you (you really pissed me off, dude) goes no further.

I'm pity of John, truly. Love is blind, I can tell. But for you, it's a disadvantage, so why bother, isnt' it?

I have an idea, brother mine. Or better yet, an advice. How about you declare your undying devotion, admiration and love towards the good doctor, mm? Then he'll keep your mind busy, removing your need to answer all those tedious, boring asks and hold lengthy monologues no one will ever read except for yourself, of course.

And there's no need to bother Gregory.

It's just a thought.

No. It's a solution.

Take it.

Devotion is not undying, we all die in the end, and any devotion dies with the person, if it doesn't die long before that because people are not faithful, get bored of their partner and just get themselves a new person to entertain themselves with, dropping their once devotee like a broken toy. People will disappoint you sooner or later so why bother? I think you experienced that personally during the last weeks.

And how is he supposed to keep my mind busy? Do you suggest he goes on a serial killing spree creating interesting crime scenes for me to deduce to occupy me? That would actually be very endearing

[doctortwhohiddles]

Ah yes, the old trunk scene. If Ben hadn't been comfortable doing it, he wouldn't have done it. It wasn't a dig at him, it wasn't done to traumatized him, it was a plot device. And then there's Mstoxictea rant on the subject:

I wonder if she's read the books. Because Sherlock is far from being a sympathetic character. He's cold, aloof and calculated. Exactly like he's in the show. In fact, a lot of what Mstoxictea is complaining about is straight from the original stories. I very much ACD had Ben in mind when he wrote his stories over a hundred years ago.

And then there's the queer bating accusation. Everyone involved in the show spent 10 years telling people that Johnlock wasn't endgame. That Sherlock and Watson are just good friends. If Mstoxictea and the rest of the extreme Johnlockers had listened, they wouldn't have gotten their hopes up for nothing. You can clearly see that Mstoxictea is still pissed that both her ships didn't happen. By that I mean Johlock and Freebatch.

[alistair-theirins-tits]

The "first johlock" conversation is sooooo annoying to me because that ship has sailed! There's been Canon Johnlock! Is it "just" a twelve minute comedy short? Yes, but it wasn't connected to anything besides the original stories, it counts!

Obviously i want more Johnlock, but I'm so sick of focusing on the "first"

[xxc4rt3rxx]

Listen the Johlock girlies were right the show should have been an ARG. If I ever become a prolific producer enough writer I’m gonna write a series of modern Sherlock Holmes stories but there is an actual ARG. That literally sounds like the most fun ever . I’m sure someone has already done it but I think I could prob make it gay (gayer) . I’ve literally had such a good idea for a modern day Sherlock series. One day . At least when I have enough time to invest in it

[thank-you-my-friend]

it’s pretty clear what still keeps me alive...

it’s been too long, old friend

@fluffbruary prompt February 10: braces | gallery | drowsy

Fandom: Sherlock

John was asleep on his feet. He had been half in and out of the dreamy ether for the past day, the case having taken three with no form of rest. But now, as they sat side by side in the back of a cab, John was truly asleep, and yet endearingly awake. 

 “That was brilliant,” John says, blinks slow, smile loose. 

 “What was?” Sherlock asks, because he's a bad bad man who can't help himself. 

 “Oh, you know,” John waves a lazy hand about, “The lot of it. ‘S’marvelous.” 

 “Mmm,” Sherlock hums in agreement, amused smile playing on his face, “My favorite part was the cat.” 

 “Yes, the cat,” John agrees to the nonsense. 

 “And the monkey.” 

 “Oh, yes, great chap, that monkey,” John yawns wide showing off his back molars, “Great chap.”

 Sherlock snorts through his desperate tries to hold it in.

 “Eh?” John asks, looking groggily over at Sherlock. 

 “Nothing…" and then because he absolutely can't help it, “Was just remembering the elephant.” 

 “Oh yes, can't forget. Lovely,” another yawn, “Lovely shoes.” 

 Sherlock can't help it, he lets out a trill of giggles, unable to stop it and unwilling to hide. 

 “Something, uh, um,” John squints his eyes as he thinks, they widen as he remembers the word, “Funny? Was it?” 

 “Nothing, darling,” Sherlock soothes his partner, hand patting on top of John's cold one. So cold Sherlock decides to wrap both of his gloved ones around it, warm it up a bit. 

 “Mmm,” John hums happily, laying his head back against the seat, “Love when you call me that.” 

 That was news to Sherlock. 

 “Do you? I was under the impression you hated pet names.” 

 “No,” John laughs, “That's you! Remember, silly?” 

 Sherlock smiles fondly at John's closed eyes and wide grin, “I think we may have both made an error of judgment on this particular subject.” 

 “Oh, alright,” John sighs happily, “Darling.” 

 Sherlock feels himself blush. Deeply. 

 “Perhaps… perhaps only in private,” Sherlock eyes the cabbie who'd been steadfastly ignoring them since they entered. Couldn't have the whole world know Sherlock melted at a single word, now could they? 

 “Whatever you want, darling,” John, obviously having forgotten they were in a cab, maneuvers his head to lay on Sherlock's shoulder. 

 Sherlock freezes underneath him, PDA being another subject they'd yet to broach in their seemingly fragile and very new relationship. 

 The cabbie looks into the rearview, eyeing the pair of them up. 

 Sherlock feels a sudden streak of boldness, meeting the cabbie's eyes as he lays a kiss on the crown of John's head. 

 “Forget what I said. Call me whatever you like, whenever you like.” 

 “Okay, snookums,” Johns says, nuzzling into Sherlock's shoulder. 

 ….

 “Well, maybe not that.” 

 Snoring is all Sherlock get's in reply. 

 Just as well. 

 Sherlock lays his head against John's and dozes himself until they reach Baker Street, where he will force his tired soldier to his feet, and then usher him off to bed, where they can snuggle truly and properly, and away from prying eyes. 

The end.
