Johnlock January Limericks Day 8

Sherlock only shared his secret

with John, knowing he would keep it

always safe in his heart.

He’d loved him from the start.

There’s no need to loudly speak it.

I'm so late! So late! The family seems to be pulling out of norovirus hell, so on we go with the limericks. Wheeeee

Relationship Variety Packs

In readings of "Sherlock Holmes Live" One should be prepared to arrive With a mind open wide, Taking all love in stride. One, two, three, or more - they all thrive.

If you haven't yet read "Sherlock Holmes Live" by emilycare (@keirgreeneyes), get settled and enjoy. It's long, but you can break it up into chunks easily if you don't have a generous stretch of time at hand. Interesting plot, great emotional hooks, surprises, layers, all that. Probably the nicest, most natural depiction of polyamory and other relationship styles I've seen so far in fic.

Johnlock January 3: Three

One morning at quarter to three John went on a tickling spree He made Sherlock giggle And wriggle and jiggle To quite an alarming degree

Three bonus works on day three: Sherlock and the Three Watsons, The Three Holmes-Watson’s Gruff, and The Three Brothers Holmes and the Big BAMF John.

You can find all 31 of my Jolly Johnlock January limericks on AO3 as part of the Johnlock January 2025 collection. Please add your own works!

Day 1: Sentimental

"It's for the weak", I used to say –

I get weak each time you call my name. 

A defect for no one to see, I prayed

But with you, things are not the same.

I can't put a tag to the things I feel;

I try and observe, deduce and conclude. 

Your support makes me truly believe,

Sentiment is for all – the kind or the brute.

-------------------------------------------------------

Happy New Year everyone! Hope this year brings all of you a lot of happiness and joy! 🩷💫

Starting this year with a poem. Thanks to @chriscalledmesweetie' Johnlock January prompts!

Lmao

Seven Times a Night!

Seven times a night ... ? That's a gas!

Janine's article played him for laughs.

But the real joke (it's said),

Is that she shared his bed ...

Without ever once tapping that ass!

🤣 'He Made Me Wear the Hat!'

saintscully's completed johnlock/mclennon/x-files fics - a master post (January 2025)

Since I'm a bit stuck with some of my WIPs, here's a list of my completed ones, ordered by most recent to the oldest:

(x-files/msr) Paper Thin (G, 1 chapter) She doesn’t know which scares her more: that he’ll never find the answer, or that he might.

(mclennon) Gretna Green Waltz (E, 1 Chapter) A fleeting melody chases Paul for decades—a tune half-remembered, a life half-lived. This is its story.

On Hold (E, PWP, 1 chapter) John is on hold with the bank. Sherlock empties the teapot into the flowers.

things we can't untie (T, Friends to Lovers, 1 chapter) John moves back to Baker Street on the last day of summer.

Simon (or: Love Calls You by Your Name) (M, Established Relationship, 1 chapter) John bumps into Simon. The Simon. Five times in one night Simon.

Life and Death in Sunderland (M, Happens during Sherlock's hiatus, 1 chapter) One last sip, one last over-the-shoulder glance at the ghost. It’s still standing there when he leaves, forever staring out into the water. ***Life and Death's companion piece, written from Sherlock's POV during his hiatus, is I Have Not Lingered (M, 6 chapters).

Plus One (G, TSOT fix-it, 1 chapter) More precisely —and more to the point— Sherlock was staring at the man’s arse, hanging mid-air like a denim-clad piñata.

Mark Your Calendars (M, Friends to Lovers, 1 chapter) John happens upon a box full of Sherlock’s old yearly planners.

Erosion (E, Friends to Lovers, 12 chapters) Sherlock's father falls ill. James Sholto is back in town. John has to navigate the consequences of crime, illness and death and their impact on his frayed relationship with Sherlock.

The Fight or Flight series, made up for Fight or Flight (M, TST fix-it of sorts, 10 chapters) - This is the story of John and Sherlock during Mary’s months away from London, continued by Detours (M, Post-TFP, 12 chaptes) - John has to examine everything he thought he knew about Sherlock, himself and their relationship in order to win his rightful place yet again.

Johnlock January Limericks Day 6

His anger intense, but to John’s defense,

the awful chip and pin machine’s offense

to reject his card

has hit him quite hard.

Therefore, screaming abuse loudly made sense.

Johnlock January Limericks Day 7

People are awfully dense

believing in such nonsense!

Sherlock had griped.

John and he liked

being much more than just friends.

@chriscalledmesweetie @ghostofnuggetspast @friday411 @helloliriels @peanitbear

[mercuryytheraven]

Aaa, had a different idea for day 1 of Johnlock January last night and I may have to hole myself away during New Year’s festivities to get this done on time.

There’s no such thing as too many new year’s kiss fics, right??

[friday411]

-=<🏃 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️>=-

Sherlock Holmes' ego is monumental (Unfortunately that's fundamental) He's an arse in the end Even to his best friend Since anything else is "sentimental"

Limericks are a go!

@ghostofnuggetspast @peanitbear @helloliriels @meetinginsamarra

Johnlock January 1: Sentimental

For John, Sherlock breaks every rule He’s set for himself to be cool He’s often judgmental Of things sentimental But John makes him act like a fool

-=<🎉 Hic 🍾 >=-

There are always some hiccups in romance Just accept that hard fact in advance But what can you say To "I'm not gay"? Does this relationship have half a chance?

Johnlock January Limericks Day 2

A sudden awful hiccup

made a forceful stick-up.

Came as a shock

to poor Sherlock.

John’s kiss brought a nice pick-up.
