Summary
Story diverges at Empty Hearse. Silver’s prompt for FTH asked for a story where Sherlock tells John what he did when he was “away” dismantling Moriarty's network. As per Silver's suggestions, Sherlock brutally tells him, not just in “ellipses and generalities” but the terrible truth. This begins as a confrontation that leads to “conversation and allows for healing that didn't happen.” Along the way they solve a case and acknowledge their hearts.
Written for Silvergirl for Fandom Trumps Hate 2025. Thank you for the wonderful prompt.

Summary
There should be fireworks or a national parade for this sort of revelation instead of this: two people having a conversation in the dying light of an April evening, prompted by almost nothing, but almost a decade too late.
Or, Sherlock and John finally get the happy ending they deserved.

Cold Inside by LoloLolly for ShakespearelovedLadyMacbeth
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms
03 Nov 2023
Tags
Summary
Sherlock has just shot Magnussen, and John feels adrift. Everything is wrong. He's fairly certain he hates his wife, too. The regrets are too numerous for him to count. Sherlock is in prison, his ultimate fate unknown and the isolation slowly (or, rather, worryingly quickly) whittling away at his sanity. Mycroft is equally untethered, scrambling for options. Perhaps John can help. And perhaps, just perhaps, they can manage to save Sherlock and rid themselves of Mary in one fell swoop. (HLV fix-it)
Now complete!

Summary
Things hadn’t felt right in 221B since John and Rosie moved back in. Everything was off. Wrong. If only Sherlock knew it was about to get even worse. But, for vegetation to return to a barren wasteland, rain from thunderstorms is necessary. A brushfire, even, to burn away the old and provide nourishment for the new… and to expose a truth that’s been present all along.
Excerpt from Chapter 1:
He stumbled as he was yanked backwards by the chain of the handcuffs, Mr. Morrison’s cruel hand having snaked under his Belstaff to assert his control. John met his eye. He nodded once, almost harshly, in the regimented yet reassuring manner of a soldier. Sherlock knew he was painfully squeezing his hands together behind his back as if to punish himself; lips bitten red and a tightly clenched jaw also betrayed the worry behind his steely façade.
“I’ll kill him,” John said, terrifyingly calm. “I’ll kill him and bring you home. I will.”
NOW COMPLETE!

Take My Breath Away by Quesarasara for Cheytea7

Summary
Sherlock opens his eyes and looks at his friend—his best friend—and slowly tips his chin down until his forehead rests softly against John’s. They stay that way for a long moment, lips just a whisper apart, warm puffs of air mingling as each of them struggles to breathe.
It’s no wonder they ended up here, really, locked in this breathless moment balanced on the cusp of something new.
They’ve spent years taking each other’s breath away…

Summary
He’s never had someone in his bed before. For a few days John’s scent will cling to the pillows, and when Sherlock goes to sleep he’ll be able to smell it, and he won’t feel so alone. Not that he has felt alone in a while, not since John came into his life, with his military-tight bed corners and scrambled eggs on Sunday. Spy-novels littered around in the living room, awful jumpers in the laundry hampers. Bits and pieces of John all over 221B, finding a place for themselves, stomping their presence on a space that once was little more than a flat, and is now (sort of, kind of) a home.
Five times they shared a bed platonically, and one time they didn't.

Summary
Sherlock hates spending Christmas with his snobby parents. John has nowhere to go over the holidays. The heat in 221B is broken and their fridge is empty. Plus, Sherlock's parents will hate John.
So of course Sherlock takes John along.
It's not his fault that his parents assume John's his boyfriend. Of course John is perfect and all, but Sherlock doesn't do romance. So what harm can there be in pretending, if it makes his parents this mad?Bookmarked by ehuether

Summary
Captain Watson to the rescue! Series compliant until beginning of Season 3 - then all bets are off. Sherlock, off in Serbia, has been captured and severely injured. Mycroft recruits John to aid with freeing him and then overseeing his recovery. The story begins in London but will explode in Serbia, slide into a European hospital and then tiptoe through a safe-house before returning to Baker Street.
Part of the Fandom Trumps Hate 2024 (my very first ever), in which I am humbled and amazed - thank you to all the bidders (gulp, I wasn't sure there'd be any, let alone more than one!) and especially to Podfixx for the highest bid, the donation to a worthy organization, and for the robust, thought-provoking prompt. I hope I will do it justice. Second chance bidder, thank you as well for the bid and for your patience!

Summary
“People would talk,” he tries, repurposing an old line, a shortcut to a recurring theme in their lives.
“They do little else.” John dutifully completes the circuit with a sigh. “Sherlock,” he continues haltingly, eyes falling back to his hands as he considers his words. “Would they be wrong, though, really?”

Indefinite Lines by ArwaMachine
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms
23 Oct 2022

Summary
When two lines, inclined towards each other, are extended indefinitely, it is inevitable that they meet. Upon meeting, the lines become something new. Together. Perhaps it’s been like that from the beginning for Sherlock and John—their lives weaving together, inclined towards one another, moving closer and closer to something greater than themselves.
But that’s all a bit romantic, isn’t it?
On another topic, Sherlock and John find themselves faced with a series of seemingly disparate cases that are growing increasingly connected, increasingly personal. They must unravel the mystery laid before them by a particularly ruthless set of criminals before the danger is upon them, or else run the risk of being cleaved apart forever, lines scattered to the wind.
