Sequel to Secretly I Think You Knew 
Thirteen years after Sherlock had been taken to prison, John is still trying to recover and withdrawal from the imprint upon his life. He has started a new life, one which might be convincing enough to hide his psychotic past from a suburbian onlooker. Yet deep within his heart John understands that he cannot just forget Sherlock Holmes, a part of him would still be devoted to that strange boy all those years ago. This attachment will be tested when Sherlock is set free from the pit he had been thrown into, the pit full of shadows.

You have been warned.

The Porcelain Doll by DrJohnHolmes

In the heart of the Gilded Age, New York City suffers from a rift in humanity. On one end the giants of industry, the tycoons. On the other, the labor they utilize for their profits, the men and women living in squalor. When John Watson, a lowly schoolmaster, gets the opportunity to join the household of the great Holmes family he expects a big paycheck and an upturned nose. What he didn't expect, however, was to be led through the privileged life all the way to the nightclub that gives the rich their pleasures. And inside, in the door opened by many, he may have found a secret love that is much closer to home than expected. Johnlock

Will Broken Bodies Lead to Broken Hearts? by ArticaSama

PARA/DOX by DrJohnHolmes

Time itself never leaves, and each moment of humanity is stamped upon the surface of the earth to play like a film, overlapping upon its predecessor and getting squished by the next second to pass. The layers of the existence of man have been stacked upon each other and forgotten for years, until Sherlock Holmes opened his eyes to see what the rest of the world forgot. With such power, the race not only to see the past, but to enter it, spurs conflict and consequences beyond anyone's wildest expectations. Johnlock

Beside You- A Johnlock Fanfiction (BBC Sherlock) *UNDER HEAVY EDITING* by SherlockedDoors

POST REICHENBACH/JOHNLOCK AU. Two years after watching the love of his life commit suicide, John Watson has faded out. Balancing between sleepless nights or facing the nightmares to see Sherlock’s face again; he knows the game is over. But he never had closure. And so, on a bleak Christmas Eve, he visits Sherlock’s grave and says what he should have said but never could. He hadn’t expected a reply; especially not this one. After two years of using the shadow of his demise as a cover to take down a terror network, Sherlock Holmes is back. With his hand hovering over the call button, he waits near his grave to catch a glimpse of John, unsure of how to come home. But one night, somebody makes it easier. The game is on. (Or should I say, “The gay is on”?) BOOK #1 of the SherlockedDoors Subcanon (shitty name, I know, but alliteration calls.) (NOTE: This does not follow the plot of series 3, it goes off in a totally different direction. Though some things have been recently updated to merge with some posts in John's blog and a couple of teasers, I started writing this AAGGGEESSS before series 3 so the reunion scene is different. Anyhow, if you like Johnlock, you'll probably like this. Enjoy!)

Needing You by rabidwolflerker

Johnlock (John/Sherlock) Trigger Warnings: Smut, Minor death, Drug Addiction, PTSD, Non-Consent Sherlock had not been the same since coming back to London. Voices of the dead screaming in his mind. When John finds out, he goes to help his friend, but when Sherlock reveals a huge secret, life as John knows it changes forever. Will he keep the life he has, or give up everything for the broken detective?

To Be Like That Of A God by DrJohnHolmes

Sherlock has only ever led a life of luxury, finding that as as he got older the fallacy of being normal was beginning to weigh on him. He didn't fit into the common mold of a rich man, and when it comes time for him to marry, that becomes increasingly obvious. Victor was just lucky to be alive, much less be living in the Holmes manor. His only friend had always been his only secret, and as a servant he had begun to feel special to his master's heart. Jealousy begins to appear, of course, when Sherlock begins to find someone who was special to him as well, genuinely special. Johnlock Viclock

Told You So by Goodbyebirdie

Will he accept all of his own quirks or hide them? Or will he simply go with the flow? Teenlock AU! There is a trigger warning- am sorry in advance!

The Devil Was Never Here by DrJohnHolmes

Sherlock Holmes was born with a gift, a gift that not only alienated him from the rest of the human world but plunged him into the darkness alone. But it would seem that the very past that he was trying to run from had a way of catching up to him, reminding him of the things he's lost and the sins he had been tempted with for as long as he remembered.

Not A Thing You Get To Choose by DrJohnHolmes

Sherlock has no skills except for those that are illegal. As a young sorcerer, he preforms magic tricks on the street and convinces the public that they are just that, tricks. He makes his money and draws his crowd, yet he never expected that he might have an admirer that he could come to admire back. As nothing more than a street rat, he believes that has no chance with such a beautiful member of the higher class. No tricks can help him now. Or can they? Johnlock Fluff

White Noise by DrJohnHolmes

Happiness didn't come easily to John after so many years of being shackled to his unbearable wife. Trapped in suburbia and forced to enjoy it, John could only fake his smiles for so long and wait for a new opportunity to arise in the form of his true soulmate. So when Sherlock Holmes makes a guest appearance at John's work, well, it seems as though his knight in shining armor has arrived, and he would do anything to ride away with him and make his own happy ending.

My addition to the fandom is out - and so is John. - In the year 1997, John Watson finds himself at an interview for a job he doesn't need, and then at the same location of a new university flatmate that he initially doesn't want. Meanwhile, Sherlock Holmes is trying to debunk the Scotland Yard's incorrect description of what is actually a group of mass-murders revolving around a small memory-wiping pill. Mr. Holmes needs an assistant, and Mr. Watson needs a companion. Little do either of them know how much they specifically need one another. [I wrote this when I was early in my teenage years. Keeping it up because you like it, but keep in mind it may be riddled with potentially less-than-decent content. Happy reading!]

rough ashes ;; johnlock by flatsound-

Sherlock Holmes - beautiful and broken and he's got a traumatic past that he vows to keep silent. John Watson - quiet, simple but extraordinary, so he keeps himself buried in books. John finds Sherlock on the vile, horrid streets in the darkest part of london, and helps him. He does not know why, or how, but nevertheless he cares for him. He was never able to pry into much of Sherlock, and vice versa. But over time, slowly and carefully he gets Sherlock to open up. And there he finds his deepest and darkest secret he holds. But as John's world grows enventually, Sherlocks has begun to shrink - and rapidly. How far will John go to save the boy he has come to love completely? With music ;)) (((((triggers!! things like self harm, depression, abuse, suicide!! please be aware that this story is badly written and my first fanfic!!)))

-22k words- A sequel to "A Very Merry Johnlock Christmas." Life in 221b has been more than a bit interesting ever since Sherlock and John got together.
