Fluffbruary with turtely

Day 23

[day 22] [day 24]

prompts: scrap | snack | ballet by @fluffbruary <3

fandom: BBC Sherlock

will be uploaded to "That Stuff Called Fluff" on Ao3!

A/N: this takes place after my fluffbruary entry for day 7! i guess it can be read without it but i don't necessarily recommend it (i like day 7 xD) (also i am so sorry for being a day late. what how is it that late already-)

♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡

John tried to quietly convince himself that, No, he wasn't walking outside and passing the rugby field in the wild hope that he'd meet Sherlock Holmes - the ballet dancer in the rain - again. He was simply... errr taking a stroll. Yes, that was it. He definitely didn't have the urge to watch him dance again, or you know... talk to him or in general just be with him. And he for sure - 100% - did NOT have a crush on the boy. You wanna know why? Because John Hamish Watson, the cool kid, the popular kid, is as straight as it gets.

"Are you looking for someone?", a girl's voice interrupted his train of thought. He turned around and saw Sally, from bio. "Yes, actually I am. Do you by chance know where Sherlock is?"

"Sherlock? Who would be called like that? Never heard of him. Ask that freaky dancer over there.", Sally nodded in the general direction of the field behind the playground. "He's always lurching around. A bit creepy if you ask me."

Immediately John felt overly protective for the 'freaky dancer' - no doubt being Sherlock, whom John had watched dancing not too long ago... John looked her hard in the eyes. "I didn't ask.", he said, turned around and left.

Soon, he found the boy dancing in the grass. 'Why is he dancing outside anyways?', John wondered. When Sherlock ended his ballet dance in an elegant stance and his hand forming a circle in front of his waist, John was suddenly unsure what to do with himself. A little lost he stood there, and watched Sherlock walk over to him. But then the dancer smiled at him and just like that John's tentativeness faded into something else - tranquillity with a hint of excitement maybe?

"You were watching me.", Sherlock simply observed.

"No! I was... just wandering by, you know..."

Sherlock arched an eyebrow. "In the hopes to see me."

John let out a breath. "Yes, alright. Maybe I was. I was wondering if you'd like to get a... snack... together?"

Internally John cringed at himself. Who asks if they can have a 'snack together'? Jesus, how awkward could you be?

Sherlock seemed amused. "A snack?"

Panicking, John looked past Sherlock. "Yeah. I don't know. I wouldn't mind if we were digging through scrap, as long as we would do it together, to be honest."

He saw Sherlock's emotionless facial expression and suddenly felt embarrassed. Oh, god. Did he seriously just say that? "You know what, I'll leave you alone, sorry to be a bother.", John said, turned around and walked away when he suddenly felt Sherlock's hand above the crook of his arm. There was a pull and John found himself staring into the most beautiful eyes he's ever seen.

"You're not a bother.", Sherlock said, hand still firmly on John. They were incredibly close, for not knowing each other well yet. "I'd very much like to have a... snack with you.", Sherlock added and gosh, those breathtaking eyes looked so intensely into his, John had to gulp.

"Fine. Good.", John replied and nodded. "Uh. Let's go then, shall we?"

Walking beside Sherlock once again, John Watson wasn't so certain if he for sure - 100% - did NOT have a crush on the boy anymore... He decided it did not matter as long as they spent time together. And if his hand accidentally brushed Sherlock's once or twice, it honestly wasn't the worst feeling either...

This fic is like a bag of jellybeans, with none of the kinds you hate. Little chunks of awesome texting and our favorite characters finding their way through the narrative. This is the most charming John Watson I've read yet! Absolutely devastating flirt. Sherlock did his best, but he was won over and you'll love every step. Most of them, anyway.

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Hi, Steph, how you doing?

Do you have any teenlock fics but in which John is not the "popular-rugby-captain-that-all-the-girls-fall-for" and Sherlock is not the "nerd"?

Because personally I don't feel that they are like that. It's very cliché. John isn't even that popular and for Sherlock to be a nerd he has to know a lot of things (and he doesn't even know that the earth revolves around the sun).

But it's okay if you don't have any, thanks in advance.

Hey Nonny!

Ah, sadly I don't have any personal recs since I don't read teen or uni au fics, so I am pretty useless for you!!

You can check out this post here that had a recent request for some teenlock, hopefully one of the links on there will be more to your liking.

Otherwise, if anyone has something they'd like to suggest, please do!

[poetrybypuck]

Teenlock AU in which Sherlock has a tumblr blog and is always feeding the fandom of his favorite crime show with his deductions and analysis.

[wheneverfeasible]

Someone shared this picture in a FB Johnlock group saying it gave them kid vibes and then it sparked a Johnlock AU fanfic idea for me and I….I know nothing about engineering or mechanics but I DID just finish reading the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer about a cyborg Cinderella who was a mechanic and I just…..lol what if I did write this?

[fluorescentmortem]

just a reminder that I love Molly Hooper very, very much and getting to write her is such a damn treat

My second main blog and I wouldn’t have it any other way she’s just so fun and sweet 🥺

Summer’s day

okay so *claps* this is a superduper random poem i wrote AGES ago and i just thought imma share it lol (i imagine it from sherlocks pov as a teenager (so teenlock au) after he met john aaaand yeah)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They say I shall compare thee to a summer’s day

-

I think I’d rather not.

“Why?” they ask,

I can’t reply,

Too many words in my throat are stuck.

Thou art more lovely and temperate,

But not in the way a summer’s day is.

I spent so many of those alone,

Yet never felt such bliss.

I never thought I could see the sun from close quarters,

Until you looked at me,

And when I saw you smile and your dimples showed,

My heart caused greater ripples than the sea.

Rough winds may shake the darling buds of may,

But your eyes make me shake more than any storm I’ve ever sensed.

Yet most of all -

I gulp and whisper -

“Day’s are finite,

And I do not ever want you to end.“

Weather

As those of you who follow my May ficlets surely know by now, I’ve set myself an unofficial goal to hit all of my AUs. So today I’m picking my quasi Narina AU called Lost Souls that, like, five people have read. This fic is what happens when I read Outlander, see Narnia, and read teenlock. (Tl,DR context for this ficlet: Sherlock and John are stuck in another dimension, that’s pretty much all you need to know. Also, they’re both about 18-20 in this ficlet, John is a medic, and Sherlock is working for local law enforcement)

--------

Weather, John thinks as he shakes out his umbrella, will never be a selling point of the British Isles, no matter in which dimension, no matter what they’re called. Sherlock gave him a long speech once about climate and sea levels and geology all being pretty much identical here, compared to the England they grew up in, so it stands to reason that the weather is equally rotten.

Well, since John has spent his entire life in England and then on the equivalent on Dera, he’s bloody well used to it.

Doesn’t mean he has to like it, though. 

He can handle rain and fog and everything in between. What he doesn’t like is when a day starts out beautiful and sunny and ends up in a deluge of truly epic proportions. He’s not that wet, because he was smart enough to stay at the clinic until the worst was over, but his coat will take ages to dry, and he dislikes the smell of drying wool. 

He’s just getting warm again, sitting on the sofa by the fire and enjoying a nice cuppa and the first chapter of a new novel Molly lent him when the door to their flat bangs open.

John turns around and starts laughing uncontrollably.

The thing about Sherlock is, he’s always gorgeous. But right now, soaked to the skin in his dark wool coat, hair wet and plastered to his head, dripping on the floor and wearing a pissy expression, he looks like nothing so much as a drowned cat. Specifically Toby, Molly’s black tomcat.

Sherlock glares at John, which makes the resemblance to a pissed off cat even greater. 

“I fail to see what’s so funny,” Sherlock grumps as he stalks into the sitting room, shedding his coat as he goes, letting it drop to the floor with a heavy splat.

“You look like Toby, that one time he fell into the suds bucket at the morgue,” John says between giggles. 

“I do not!” Sherlock all but hisses, which sets off John even more.

“Oh my god, now you sound like him too!”

Sherlock glares at him, then something in his eyes changes. He stalks over to John, who’s still on the sofa, and sits down straight in his lap.

“Oh my god, you’re cold!” John yelps, as the water dripping from Sherlock’s clothes start soaking through his trousers and shirt immediately.

“Warm me up, then,” Sherlock says, shaking his head so water droplets land all over John.

John laughs. “Great, now I’m getting wet because you don’t have the sense God gave small children to stay inside when it’s pouring outside.”

“Staying in just because it’s raining is boring, John,” Sherlock says, reeling John in and pressing his entire wet torso against John’s.  “You don’t want me catching cold, do you, Doctor?” Sherlock murmurs into John’s ear. Sherlock’s closeness, the whisper of breath against John’s ear, and Sherlock using his still very new title all together make John reconcile with the situation very quickly. The fact that he, the sofa, and the floor are getting soaked are of very minor importance compared to a wet, gorgeous and mischievous Sherlock Holmes in his lap.

He threads his fingers into Sherlock’s wet hair and pulls him in for a kiss. Sherlock tastes of rain and fresh air and pastries. “Mrs Hudson is baking?” John asks, pulling back a little.

“Very good,” Sherlock says, grinning at John, an obvious challenge sparking in his eyes and in the corner of his smile. “What else?”

John grins. Two can play this game, my friend, he thinks. He noses along Sherlock’s throat, smelling rain and traces of their soap and the faint trace of canal. He licks a few raindrops from Sherlock’s neck, and Sherlock gasps. “You went to see Billy.”

“Conjecture,” Sherlock murmurs, dipping his head back to give John better access to his neck.

“Fact,” John answers, sinking his teeth playfully into the taut muscle of Sherlock’s enticing throat. “You smell like the river,” he whispers, as he dips his tongue into Sherlock’s ear.

Sherlock moans, and John grins into Sherlock’s skin. It took them a good while to find their stride, physically speaking, given that neither of them had an inkling of an idea what they were doing. But by now John knows Sherlock’s body so well, he knows exactly which strings to pluck.

“What else?” Sherlock asks, his voice no longer quite steady.

John draws back, surveying Sherlock like he’s a crime scene, knowing that this sort of scrutiny will turn Sherlock on even more. He kisses Sherlock again, licking deep into his mouth, chasing taste and sensation. He licks the corner of Sherlock’s mouth, and Sherlock moans around John’s tongue, drawing him closer to deepen the kiss, but John moves back, putting a finger over Sherlock’s mouth. “Moff’s bakery. Powdered birch sugar, you were at the doughnuts again.”

Sherlock nods, pulling at John for more kisses. John happily obliges.

“One more,” Sherlock whispers against John’s lips.

John grins and draws back a little. He runs his hands under Sherlock’s sopping wet suit jacket, pushing it off Sherlock’s shoulders as he fleeces the pockets. Nothing of interest. Then he unbuttons Sherlock’s waistcoat, one button at the time. Sherlock’s shirt is sticking to his skin, almost translucent, and John can’t resist mouthing at the taut nipple outlined under the fabric, even as he deftly checks the pockets of Sherlock’s waistcoat for clues. The rain-soaked shirt and Sherlock’s warm skin beneath, Sherlock’s hands carding through his hair, holding his head to Sherlock’s chest, and the encouraging noises Sherlock is making are almost enough to drive the game from John’s mind.

But only almost. Because Sherlock’s shirt smells of beeswax and dusty shelves. “Library,” he murmurs around Sherlock’s nipple, grazing the delectable nub with his teeth.

Sherlock gasps and pulls John up for a searing kiss. John grins against Sherlock’s lips.

Game over, then, he thinks. I won. “Are you getting warmer, love?”

“Shut up,” Sherlock says, dipping them back to the sofa, trapping John under himself, pressing his entire wet, warm, enticing body against John’s.

John grins. “Make me.”

Sherlock’s eyes darken. “Not a problem.”

As Sherlock moves in to kiss the very thoughts out of John’s head, John thinks, Oh, I definitely won, before he surrenders entirely to the force of nature that is Sherlock unleashed. Thank god for rain.

Suddenly All the Songs Were About You by Anna521614 (E, 175,955 w., 38 Ch. || Teenager / High School AU || Friends to Lovers, Gay Sherlock, Confused John, Slow Burn, Anal, Rimming, Blow Jobs, Loss of Virginity, First Time, Virgin Sherlock, Fluff,  Humour, Coming Out, Coming of Age, Banter, Mutual Pining, Top John, Bottom Sherlock, Farmer John, First Love, Angst) – When Sherlock's mom is sent to work at a research campus in the southern United States, he is less than thrilled about having to pack their family up. But once his eyes fall on straight football player and high school senior John Watson- he starts to think it might not be so bad.

NEED HELP FROM TUMBLR

I lost a fanfic 🥲

It was a BBC Sherlock high school AU where Sherlock and his family come to America for his moms work and he meets a young John Watson, who is a star football player and currently dating Mary. It takes place in the South, John comes out, his mother is homophobic and his father gets run over by a tractor, they live on a farm and John goes into the military at the end of it. Molly is Sherlock’s friend and a great ally, and Moriarty questions his sexuality. The title is either the name of a song or song lyrics.

If anyone knows this fic or the author please help me out. RB to spread.

Fanfics I Really Liked in May 2023

So. Since I keep a list of what I´ve read anyway (there´s always a list), I will rec all the fics I´ve wholly enjoyed on a monthly basis. Old and new, canon or AU, big or small authors, long or short but nearly always Johnlock (-ish).

“The River Variations” by withoutawish

John never wanted a normal life actually so living with Sherlock is exactly what he wants. Even if he never gets to eat his morning toast. Or gets wounded while on a case. But Sherlock freaks out then. A modern take on the “Garridebs moment”.

“Love Like Ours” by Berty @bertytravelsfar

Post S4. John sees Sherlock play with Rosie and realises that he loves him. Ever has. Now it is the right moment to finally tell.

“The Tattoo” by cumbercurlygirl @cumbercurlygirl​

A 221b ficlet set in my beloved “Gimme Shelter” surf AU. Look at the beautiful artwork included!!!

“Bloody Brushes” and sequel “Pastel Paints”  by jawbonesandjumpers

Art collector and critic Sherlock sees the perfect painting by a non-famous artist named John Watson. He wants to meet the artist but he refuses. Noone ever declines Sherlock. Will he manage to convince John?

“Tomorrow’s Song” by agirlsname @agrlsname

Sherlock returns after the hiatus and interrupts John proposing at the Landmark. But. John confesses his love to Sherlock. But. Sherlock is too scared to accept this or even accept his own feelings. Sooo much pain, heartache and awfully awkward conversations! I wanted to tear my hair out. Or break something. But. Happy ending.

“The Sky is full of Fiddles” by agirlsname @agrlsname

Holm William is wooing Wattbacka John. He gets into his bed, plays the fiddle and they have a dance battle. John is impressed. Lovely 1895 Sweden AU with lots of folklore and teenlock.

“Sherlock ficlets for May 2023 challenge” by Raina_at @raina-at​

31 lovely, angsty, fluffy ficlets for 31 prompts in May.

“Sherlock ficlets for the May Challenge” by lisbeth-kk  @lisbeth-kk​

31 awesome ficlets. So far, they are only their tumblr, maybe they will be uploaded on AO3 under Lock_John_Silver.

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Hey! I read this fic a while ago where basically they were students in uni(?) and john made the best yet very subtle science-y jokes which no one picked up oj except sherlock and there begins a journey were john tries to make him laugh in every possible class..ive been trying to find it ever since but havent been able to so please help out xx

Hey Nonny!

Sadly, I don't know this one, Nonny, but I'm hoping one of my Lovelies or Lurkers™ know which one this is!

Anyone able to help us?

[helloliriels]

never have i ever writer's edition:

have you ever written a good omens fic?

a wlw ship?

a teenlock / unilock fic?

ty for the ask turtely!!! 🐢🐢🐢

I DO have a short GO ficlet written (I never posted) ... maybe i should? It's a oneshot.❓Also 'Do Not Download The Souls' which is the start of a GO AU, posted for FFF. And ofc had to jump in with some #johnlock omens ... for the eternal angst. 😇😭 and several ideas percolating there yet (fallen angel related, and our side).

Never have I ever ... wlw. I have considered doing some Madame Vastra/Jenny Flint artwork. If I wrote wlw, it would probably be for Queen Calanthe in the Witcher fandom ❤️‍🔥, or to give Tissaia a more well-deserved love interest (f Vilgefortz tbh 🗡️).

Teenlock I wrote this short ficlet, 'Summer Calling', as well as John going off to war (WWI) in 'Kiss Me Now Before You Go' which I do intend to continue at some point, and posted in two (or three parts?) on Tumblr and on AO3. Never have I ever on Unilock (yet!)

Hope you enjoy!! 💕✌️

[swissmissficrecs]

Hello !!! I've been re-watching heartstopper aaaand I've always got very teenlock vibes from it so I was wondering if you might have some teenlock heartstopper au around you could rec? I would really appreciate it!!!! You know just if you can!

Reply: I mean... as you say, Heartstopper is obviously a Johnlock teen AU itself. So I'm not sure whether you just want teenlock recs (although I see you've already found my teenlock list) or if you want Sherlock/Heartstopper fusions or crossovers.

Here is my Teenlock Master List for those who haven't seen it

And I haven't read any Sherlock/Heartstopper crossovers so I can't rec anything specifically, but there are some on AO3 if you do a search.
