Summary
What if, in this AU Kidlock story, John Hamish Watson had met William Sherlock Scott Holmes and James Mycroft Ambrose Holmes, and their parents, when John and Sherlock were just children? In fact, suppose that Sherlock and Mycroft’s parents had decided to take John in as a foster child and then to adopt him, when they learned about his family situation? What if Mycroft and Sherlock had become John’s adoptive brothers? This AU Kidlock story shows how that could have come about. (I've borrowed the rest of Mycroft's full name from sgam76's own head canon with sgam76's permission—thanks, sgam76! Needless to say, Sherlock's own full name is canon-compliant, as is John's.)

Echoes from the Darkness by KathyG for sgam76, bees_stories, IantoLives

Summary
In this post-“Sherlock” story, Sherlock, as it turns out, is not the only one with demons underneath his road; John has his own share of demons waiting for him, too. And now, not only is John compelled to remember old traumas from his childhood, but the demons under his road have arisen to threaten his life and the lives of his loved ones. Can Sherlock and John’s other friends deliver him and his family from them? This story is part casefic and part physical/emotional hurt/comfort. (Part of the back history of this story comes from a previous 20-chapter story of mine, which I posted back in early 2021, “Please, God, Let Me Live.”)
[NOTE: Read boldfaced note at the bottom of my opening notes below this story summary about my reason for including this story in three of my Ao3 lists, preceding "First Christmas"—ran out of room in this summary!]
5-28-25: I have just included a closing author's note to this story, announcing a new story that I'm soon going to start posting!

Kaylee's Special Yule Holiday in Rivendell by KathyG for KHB123, KayleeArafinwiel, Dreamflower
Fandoms: The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien
09 Jan 2025
Tags
Summary
This story is an off-shoot of "An Unexpected Adventure", posted here; in that story, four children have found themselves in Middle-earth. The three older children have found themselves pulled into the Fellowship's quest, but the youngest has been left behind in Rivendell, to the care of Elves and Bilbo.
It’s Yule, and Kaylee misses her siblings. How do Bilbo and the Elves set out to cheer her up?
[NOTE: This story has been written by Dreamflower and myself, but for some reason, Ao3 will not allow me to add Dreamflower's name as co-author. (Which really is a shame, since this story was her idea! [pout]) If and when that ever changes, I will add her username alongside my own. KG]

A Dream Deferred by KathyG for bakerstreetgirl, sgam76

Summary
In this pre-Sherlock story, since 21-year-old Harriet Jane Watson and 15-year-old John Hamish Watson’s parents have recently been killed in a car accident, it looks as if Johnny, who's in his last year of taking his GCSEs at his local grammar school in Chelmsford, Essex, will have to give up his dream of taking A-levels and attending medical school so he can become a doctor. Will he have to? Thanks to BesleyBean for beta-reading and Brit-picking my story!
[11-27-24: I've chosen one of John's flashbacks from Chapter 28 of "Echoes from the Darkness", which I've expanded a little, to add to this story.]

John Watson-Holmes: Home to North Holmwood 'verse by KathyG
Fandom Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms
20 Feb 2026
Summary
In the AU Kidlock story to which I've given the title, "John Watson-Holmes: Home to North Holmwood," Sherlock's parents become first John Hamish Watson's foster parents (or foster carers, as they're called in Great Britain), and then his adoptive parents. The first four of my "Baby Johnny 'verse" stories, all of which are pre-canon to BBC Sherlock and therefore canon-compliant, are also able to fit into this series, and so are some of the flashbacks in my BBC canon-compliant post-Sherlock story, "Echoes from the Darkness," though not all of them. But any sequels to my AU Kidlock story will also be AU stories, as will be any stories I write in this universe in which Johnny is nearing his eighth birthday or is older. (As with my other fanfiction universes, there is no slash.)

Summary
This series basically covers John Watson's life in chronological order, starting with his birth and ending with events that follow the end of the "Sherlock" series (the TV show began in 2010 and ended with the 4th season in 2017). It includes my "Baby Johnny" and "John Watson, MBBS" stories, along with a sizable number of other "Sherlock" fanfiction stories I've written. Only my stories that are canon-compliant and can fit into my personal BBC Sherlock universe will be included. Therefore, if a gap filler/missing scene that I've written for someone else's story is canon-compliant and can fit into my universe, I will include it; otherwise, I will leave it out. For the same reason, any fix-it stories that I post will have to be left out as well, because they are not canon-compliant. All my stories that are included in this list run the gamut from pre-canon to post-canon, from pre-Sherlock to post-Sherlock. No slash.

Pre-Sherlock John Watson by KathyG
Fandom Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms
28 May 2025
Summary
This series consists of my stories that are set from John Hamish Watson’s birth to the day in "A Study in Pink" when he is reunited with Mike Stamford in Russell Square, prior to the moment when he first meets Sherlock Holmes. (It also includes flashback sequences in my post-"Sherlock" story, "Echoes from the Darkness", which I have lately decided to include in this series, as well as in my "Baby Johnny verse" series, for that very reason. The reason for that is explained in that story's opening notes.) It consists of all the stories in my "Baby Johnny verse" series and all the pre-Sherlock stories in my "John Watson, MBBS" series, as well as "Echoes from the Darkness". All of them are canon-compliant, and all of them fit into my personal Sherlock universe. No slash.

“Hey, Sherlock? Dinner’s going to be a little late. Would you mind doing some playdough with Rosie to keep her occupied?”
John wondered how long it would take his ever-observant partner to notice that the sensory activities John asked him to do with Rosie were also remarkably effective at soothing Sherlock’s own restless moods...

Summary
John was tired, damn tired. He was tired dealing with heavily injured patients that didn't know when to stop talking, so after he was finished a co-worker of his advised him to go outside to the fresh air. With reluctance he complies and walks outside, choosing to stay in the shade below a tree.
Little did he know who he would meet.
