Strange Coincidences: Johnlock AU by Just_Very_Bored

What if the perfect duo of Holmes and Watson had met differently? What if John had been hired by Mycroft to look after his little brother? What if... "Mr. Holmes," John exclaimed with astonishment written across his features. "You can't be serious." "This isn't complicated, I assure you. All that I'm requesting is for you to befriend my brother and become his flat-mate. You will still have your regular life. Your past with the MI-6 will become rather useful with protecting Sherlock from harm with his array of detective work and crime fighting." John couldn't ignore the way his heart's jumped at the last part. He struggled to keep his face straight and look at this rationally. "And what if your brother doesn't like me? We might not be friends." Mycroft sighed. "Then I will remove you from this job and ask someone else to try," he replied smoothly. John was going to reject the offer when Mycroft interrupted. "Mr. Watson, I am aware that you want something more then your dull civilian life. This is the offer that you've been waiting for." Still uncertain, John wavered. He decided to at least take a look at the file Mycroft handed him seconds ago. Nothing caught his eye as he flitted mindlessly through the pages. Then his eyes landed on the photo and John's breath caught in his throat. His sharp cheekbones and impossible eyes were undeniably the ones of the breath-taking man he had bumped into on the street earlier.

John Watson never really bothered to notice the strange boy in his grade, the self proclaimed sociopath that lingered in the back of the classroom, that is until a chance meeting brought them together in the most unlikely of ways. Sherlock was always living under his brother's thumb, after their parents had died in a tragic accident Mycroft had controlled every aspect of his young life. When his first chance at freedom goes terribly wrong, maybe John's arrival in his life might change everything for the better. Johnlock Fluff

All They Needed: A JohnLock High School AU |NaNoWriMo| by bannded

Love is as simple as this. It's pain, hardships and deceit... but it's beautiful. Sherlock Holmes and John Watson are the two boys who star in this story, who don't quite understand what love really is. Love isn't kind, it isn't selfless, it doesn't really care. But sometimes, it makes exceptions. Love is confusing, but it's the price to pay. Because not knowing love, is their innocence. *** #314 in Fanfiction 10/8/15
