Summary
Sherlock tours worldwide with the English National Ballet. John dances the Lindy Hop competitively all across the globe. That they would meet, then, by the slimmest of chances in one lonely city, is pure coincidence. The whole 'dancing together' bit is a little more planned. Dancer!AU.

Summary
"Tucked here between towering shelves stuffed full of hundreds of years of knowledge on tens of thousands of pages filled with hundreds of thousands of words made up of millions of individual letters –Sherlock Holmes fits."
There are so few places Sherlock feels at ease, but this library feels like home. He likes the solitude, takes comfort in the quiet. He may not have friends, but he's got books--and that's just as good, isn't it? Better, even.
And then one day John Watson walks in, and everything changes...

Summary
Sherlock Holmes and Martha Hudson, friendship, love and romance:
He kissed her cheek again and his lips lingered for a fraction of a second longer than normal. “Good-night, Mrs Hudson.”
She sat back on the sofa when he’d gone and touched her hand to her cheek, just like a giddy girl.
There are things that you don’t wish for, things that you don’t ever let yourself think about. Not even when you’re dying, least of all then when the cruel mirror shows you how old and ill you are. Youth is just an illusion, a flutter of butterfly wings in your soul, and there’s no point crying for the moon.

Summary
A dead butler, an old manor house, things that go bump in the night and a Sherlock/John romance:
For an instant Sherlock regretted that they had a train to catch, but maybe it was better that they did, safer certainly. These evenings with John were never entirely relaxing. He always had to be one step ahead, to read every flicker of expression or gesture. The causal press of hips and shoulders as they sprawled amidst a chaos of papers, maps, mobile phones and cushions seemed to pass unnoticed. A slice of pizza lifted from John’s hand produced a scowl and a half-hearted rebuke. If he had attempted to lick away the sauce that clung in tomato smears to John’s knuckles and the corner of his mouth the reaction would have been explosive though.
Outrage. Apprehension. Even embarrassment. Sherlock could imagine it all in dreary detail. John didn’t. John wasn’t.
Not gay.

Summary
“This was like nothing John had ever thought to associate with Sherlock: stubble, skin-tight jeans and three small silver rings gleaming at the crest of one ear. It was unbelievable, like stepping into an alternative universe, and John couldn't stop staring.”
When Sherlock infiltrates a club in order to track down a serial killer, his altered appearance is enough to make John question his assumption that Sherlock is beyond his reach. However, is he the only one who appreciates his flatmate's charms, or is Sherlock at risk of becoming the next victim? (Warning: reviews may contain fic spoilers)

"Ever since I returned to London, you have made it plain that my behaviour is intolerable. Clearly, you no longer find me praise-worthy in any capacity, so why are you still here?"

Before either of them has the chance to make amends, circumstance intervenes. John is left at the mercy of his abductors, and this time, he's not sure Sherlock will bother coming to his rescue.

Summary
TRADUCCION. by emmagrant01. Si John no era capaz de conseguir que Sherlock comiera a diario, era poco probable que fuera capaz de ayudarle con esto. Pero "esto" era lo más cerca que estaría Sherlock de pedirle ayuda. John se sentó en la silla y dijo "Muy bien. ¿En qué piensas cuando te masturbas?". Re-editado
