Two years of shared tea. Two years of raising a child and solving cases within the walls of 221B. Two years of a domestic peace so fragile that neither of them dared to breathe the truth aloud.
But when Sherlock’s mother dies, the 'Baker Street Boys' finally run out of excuses. In the wreckage of a Holmes family collapse, John realises that two years of waiting was two years too many.

Summary
Mycroft got the call only ten days before Christmas–his mother fell off a ladder trying to hang mistletoe, a ridiculous tradition encouraging questionably consensual physical contact. After he whisked his parents to London for better care, Mycroft soon realised that he hadn’t considered the risk of hosting his parents as unexpected houseguests during her recovery. Or that mistletoe was not her only option for matchmaking.

Summary
"You don't have to --"
"I know I don't." But Sherlock leaves anyway, spurred by equal parts anger and shame. He promises to be back in 30 minutes with the forgotten milk for Rosie's evening meal.
He does not return.
Later, John will think of that last glimpse of Sherlock's face, the tired hurt, the start of tears. He will think that maybe Sherlock has simply decided to be done with this, to be done with him.
Still, maybe he'd better call Greg, see if anyone's caught a glimpse of the man. Just in case.
Across town, Sherlock plots escape but hopes for rescue, trapped in a situation that he cannot talk his way out of.

Summary
Sherlock finally looks at him. The full force of his gaze freezes John where he stands, backed up against the table and about to reach for the kettle. John sees Sherlock's adam's apple bob. Then Sherlock's fist unclenches, and all at once the towel falls.
India ink over copper. Something bright is found just beneath the surface.

Summary
It was far from the first time Lestrade had received a text message from Sherlock Holmes that he had no idea what it was about, and it almost certainly wasn’t going to be the last.

Interesting, it turned out, wasn’t the half of it.
“I slept with Sherlock.”
He stared down at his nearly full pint – his first of the evening – and decided he needed more. One pint was definitely not going to be enough for this conversation.

Summary
This is a short AU fic based on the 2009 TV series Flashforward (based on the amazing 1999 book of the same name by Robert J Sawyer). You don’t need to have seen the show or read the book, but the gist of it is that everyone on the planet loses consciousness for 2 minutes and 17 seconds and sees a vision of their lives 6 months in the future.

Summary
“They were living together only a few weeks before Sherlock noticed it. Everything about John screamed practical and straightforward except for this. If the detective hadn't known better he would have said John was superstitious. It was little things at first, like nodding at magpies whenever he saw them or only chatting up women on Tuesdays. But that wasn't quite right. If these peculiarities were superstitions, they were ones he had never come across before. Finally, Sherlock chalked it up to an atypical symptom of his flatmate’s PTSD and left it at that. He would have never thought of it again until Autumn stole across the city and John started acting, well… stranger.”

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.
