Sui Generis by Francesca_Wayland

Summary
When Irene Adler contacts Mycroft Holmes with some shocking information and instructs him not to share it with Sherlock, he believes it to be a calculated power play against him. In some ways he's right, but the truth is more complicated, and personal.
This is an AU sequel to 'Neither A Soldier Nor A Gentleman' (http://archiveofourown.org/works/338793/chapters/548227) and so I suggest reading that first, but this work is also a study on the relationship of the Holmes brothers.
The POV switches between Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock Holmes, and Irene Adler.

Summary
He couldn’t decide if it was a relief or a curse that he’d been left completely, absolutely alone. He didn’t exactly regret the complete lack of torture, but that would at least have given him something to fight. You couldn’t fight darkness with your fists, and no matter how strong your will-power, it could be beaten down by the constant monotony of nothingness. Nobody needed John Watson any more. He could dwindle away here in the dark as well as in the flat, anyway. Because really, what difference did it make? There was nobody to miss him. Not even him.

Summary
Ever since before he'd been able to talk, Sherlock has been called extraordinary. Next to him, small, unassuming, regular old John Watson has never been termed by anyone to be anything at all beyond ordinary. Including, on some days, by Sherlock himself.
Sherlock had certainly never considered that /he/ might be the ordinary one.
Absolutely, patently absurd. Ludicrous. No.

Absurdly Simple by PlaidAdder

Summary
This was archived at Sacrilege! sometime in the mid-1990s. At the time I was using "Irene Adler" as my pseudonym for the Holmes fiction. Sacrilege! is, alas, defunct; so I am reposting those stories here.
The year after the Return, Holmes is working hard on a blackmail case and won't tell Watson who the client is. Watson does a little digging, and learns a lot of things that he really should have known already. The rest is history.

Summary
John is shocked to hear, from Sally, that Sherlock has a record for prostitution. Sherlock explains that he refused to actually engage in any sexual activities with his clients. The most he would allow is a hug, or touching of hair. After all, why would Sherlock allow sexual activity with those he wasn't attracted to?
Based on a kinkmeme prompt: Sherlock as the world's worst hooker.

Tags
Summary
After Sherlock’s death, everyone is torn up. Molly and Mycroft share a secret. John and Mrs Hudson stand in front of the shiny black grave, tears of sorrow blurring their eyes. Lestrade, Anderson, and Donovan, though less downcast, still feel remorse over the death of the infamous consulting detective. What happens when they are all transported to a cinema to watch the life of the ‘late’ great Sherlock Holmes?
Had to have watched Sherlock seasons 1 & 2 to understand this story. Seasons 3 & 4 also included.

Summary
“Thrice.”
“Yes.”
John blinks. Shakes his head. Blinks again. “Thhhhrice.”
“Yes.”
Is my mouth moving right n- “Thrice in your entire life?”
“Yess, John,” Sherlock growls, hissing like a snake grabbed by the tail. “Thrice, three times, twice more than once and once more than twice, a veritable triptych of onanism. Thrice.”

John is an empath. Which isn't nearly as much fun as it sounds. Most of the time, it’s not even useful.
