His hair was auburn,
His skin was sunburnt,
His clothes fit loosely,
All at once on a afghan Tuesday

It happens fast, to fast to see,
John Watson dropping hard to his knees, 
By a man he once knew,
But now forgotten in the news.

(This is a story about two soldiers, one a captain and one a recruit, but after both being injured they forget each other and then they meet again in another lifestyle)

Falling For You by bibliosoph

He has a psychosomatic limp and he misses the war, even if he doesn't care to admit it. Naturally, when the possibility of sharing a flat with the world's only consulting detective arises, he jumps at the chance and instantly befriends the strange character. But it friendship the furthest that Sherlock and John are willing to go with each other? Or is the world-famous detective deducing new things about himself?

Rules on the Fridge [A BBC Sherlock Holmes Fanfiction] (Completed) by SmotheredPsycho

♪ First Names are for Lovers ♪ Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, living in a dated, shared flat with bullet holes in the wall, a skull on the mantle, and an absolutely catastrophic kitchen. It wasn't hard to get along, usually. John could handle Sherlock's bluntness and absolute disregard - or lack of knowledge - for people's feelings or sentiment. And Sherlock could handle John's questions about everything he said. John Watson: An army doctor, stationed in Afghanistan, shot in the leg, put out of commission. Psychosomatic limp; magically gone when he went on a case with Sherlock. Sherlock Holmes: High-functioning sociopath, and the only Consulting Detective in the world. He could read people, he could see crimes in the crime-scene; he could win. ♫ ♫ ♫ Sherlock Holmes went off the rails. He did an experiment that got him hospitalized after John found him on the scene. Lines were crossed. Rules were made. Everything was on the line - concentration on cases slowly dwindled, priorities were mixed, and absolutely everything was spinning. ♫ ♫ ♫ Good habits, bad habits, and everything in between. You have good habits, sure, and they have to be balanced out with bad habits. For most people, that's taking your vitamins every day crossed with cracking your knuckles. For Sherlock Holmes that was catching criminals and putting his life at serious risk every time. ♫ ♫ ♫

Home Is Where My Heart Is, Only With You. (Johnlock) by MarieLlona

I thought I could kill the pain. How could I be so stupid? The fall was terrifying. The pain was never ending. But it never ends. It remains, and it will always remain. Hidden. Buried. The dark is so cold. It's so empty, I'm empty, and I have nothing to fill it with anymore. "This love has taken its toll on me, and I have no choice, cause I won't say goodbye anymore...."* A Johnlock (and a little Myry) fanfic full of song references, heartbreak, depression, emptiness, emotion, possible death, and love to cure it all. Will they ever be reunited? And can Sherlock prove to John that he's alive, before John commits a crime neither would recover from? *Song reference: Maroon 5 - This Love

Said it out loud? by Tomlinshoran

"He was on his knees in John's room, completely and utterly panicking, and there was nothing he could do about it, his system wasn't working. He didn't hear the door open. Didn't hear John rush to his side, fall on his knees, and gently rub his back. But he felt a comfortable heat next to him. And could inhale his scent." Or Sherlock has to go undercover as John Watson and at the sight of his uniform he has the first panic attack of his life, so strong that he doesn't know what to do. John hears him and rushes in, stays by his side till he feels better and as minutes go by they fall asleep together. Sherlock finds out that John has an amazing voice, as he wakes up hearing sweet words sang above his head. Thanks to @_dracomalfoy_ cause he's the best Beta and whom I love so so much <33 This is OS number two out of two that mention Taylor Swift songs. Song mentioned: Jump then fall (Taylor's Version).
