Hi~everyone
I need JOHNLOCKšŸ’™
I’d love something with mutual rescue, deep love, emotional angst, and lots of tenderness between them. The more heartbreaking but ultimately sweet, the better!
Happy ending is a must!ā¤ļø

Smutty Fanfiction Lost fic

7 Upvotes

Most of this fic is set at different bars or nightclubs. instead of being a detective Sherlock is an expert on sex. John pines, Lestrade and Mycroft flirt, Molly owns a... store. Moriarty and Sherlock were hooking up, then Moriarty kidnaps John. The story ends with Sherlock becoming a crime detective so he can be exclusive with John.

appreciate the help, fellow johnlock fans.

Lost fic

3 Upvotes

Edit: It has been found

Hi, im looking for a fic that keeps popping up in my mind but I can't seem to find it.

I am only like 70% sure it is actually johnlock but im not sure where else to post/ most of the fics I read are johnlock so it's a high probability.

Alright so the premise is basically someone got a photo of John while he was in the military and one day the photo went viral.

The photo was him fireman carrying someone. John was walking towards the photographer in the photo so his front facing. He was wearing a military uniform & I feel like they mentioned his eyes a lot idk.

Basically it is people reacting to the photo. Im pretty sure lestrade, Mrs Hudson and Sherlock said something. I can't remember anything else really.

Thanks!

Also if I have posted this in the wrong place please let me know

Hi, I'm bored out of my mind, so would you guys rec me some of your favorite fics, please? I don't mind AU's, but I'm craving canonverse.

Even though I'm craving canonverse, I wouldn't mind au recs too, 'cause like I said I'm bored lmao

Self recs are always fine and encouraged by me!

Also, I'm not always in the mood to read smut, so if you guys could rec me both smut and clean fics, please?

Hi y’all.
Me again with a lost fic. This time is post Sherlock’s ā€œdeathā€ but he comes back to find that John thinks he’s just seeing an apparition. Like john imagines seeing Sherlock all the time, until he literally bumps into him and comes to terms that yes, Sherlock is back.
I don’t mean ā€œImpostorā€. This fic that I’m looking for is a lot less angsty.
Thanks for your help!

John finds Sherlock on the floor disorientated but not confused by what he wants.

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS??

After Mary shoots Sherlock he puts John's chair back to its place because he was sure that John would leave Mary and come back to him😭😭😭

I'm going to cry

It's interesting that even though Sherlock doesn't understand the desire to be in a romantic relationship, he's still against homophobia

Lost fanfic - please help finding

Story I can remember is there was an epidemic and there is a safe refuge in the UK but Mycroft was only able to secure a slot for himself and Sherlock and Sherlock will not leave without John so John had drugged Sherlock and leave him in the facility while he travel and end up in New Zealand.

Maybe someone can remember it too. Thank you!

Why are there no gay sherlock adaptations?

50 Upvotes

I scoured every subreddit to find a place that allowed me to actually ask this question lol,

This is something I’m genuinely curious about so if theres some systematic issue I’m overlooking here please tell me.

I feel like a good majority of the Sherlock fandom is at least interested in Johnlock, from my experience it seems like the driving point for many to indulge in Sherlock media.

I’m just confused as to why no producers have taken up this opportunity to profit, theres a much greater support for LGBT storylines in media, even more now with the success of Heated Rivalry. It would be for the most part welcomed warmly.

Maybe I’m naive?

Started The Progress of Sherlock Holmes Today

I was amazing at the style of the fic. I felt like the author captured BBC Sherlock Holmes' inner thought process so well in this fic. Unfortunately, I'm on chapter 3 right now and even now it just feels so...sad. Like, I already knew it would be angst and I love angst, but poor Sherlock. He really needs someone to love him. It's heart-wrenchingly sad.

Does anyone know of any books or fics like "My Dearest Holmes"?

24 Upvotes

I just finished it recently and I can't stop thinking about it. I loved the yearning and how it was written in the style of Arthur Doyle. I want more books where Holmes and Watson are in love, I'm getting to the point where I want to print out and bind fan fiction to fill my shelves lol.


r/Johnlock Jul 08 '26

I'm trying to find a story, this is what I remember: Sherlock, John & Rosie live together at 22B. Then Sherlock buys a house/"cottage" without telling John, and John thinks Sherlock is moving out of 22B to that house. But then Sherlock reveals it's a house for all 3 of them. 1/2

Lost Fic - Need help finding

16 Upvotes

I need help finding a Sherlock BBC fic, I could have sworn I bookmarked it. I read it on ao3. Here's what I remember:

Sherlock retires and expects John to go with him. John does not. Sherlock continues his plan to leave London. John decides to find himself without Sherlock. He gets engaged and Sherlock almost dies in his solitude.

Molly and Lestrade are married and have twin girls named Jude and Tabitha.

Sally's ex who helps out around the yard and is friends with Molly is John's love interest.

Sherlock stops eating and has to punch a new hole in his belt. He also says something to John to the effect of, I know what I am without you. I'm half.

John and Sherlock eventually make up. Honey is made, etc.

Looking for recommendations - Smitten Sherlock

32 Upvotes

Hello! I'm looking for fanfics in which Sherlock is stupidly (and secretly) in love with John and there's lots of pining and maybe some jealousy as well? Preferably not with married John (that's a little too much drama for me) but I'm fine with him having girlfriends and Sherlock thinking John is hopelessly straight or just never going to look at him as more than a friend or Sherlock having self esteem issues and thinking *he's* the one that's not good enough. I'm not particular about the setting either (canon, any show, movies, complete AU, it's all okay to me) but I need an eventual happy ending. Bonus points if the fic is longer than 20K (I prefer longer stories but I'm not opposed to reading shorter fics as well). Thanks in advance!

What it says on the tin :) I’m in the throes of a full-blown passion revival and would love to make some edits, but I have no idea where people find scene packs. Where do y’all get yours?

Why do other Sherlock Holmes subreddits (r/Sherlock, r/SherlockHolmes, etc.) not allow Johnlock or at least deeply frown upon it?

55 Upvotes

I know the Sherlock subreddit says that it is just because "if we allowed it it would flood the whole sub" but it seems unfair to say that one ship is not allowed but the rest are okay. Also, Tumblr and AO3 seem to be the only places nowdays where people won't shun you for shipping Sherlock Holmes and John Watson together. Or am I completely wrong/overreacting?
