Sherlock calls it an experiment. A harmless study in touch, timing, proximity.
John says nothing. Because noticing is one thing, admitting it is another.
But the air is changing.
A brush of fingers. A mug of tea. A glance that lingers too long.
Whatever this is, it's building. Quietly. Relentlessly.

A slow-burn exploration of closeness, confusion, and the question neither of them wants to ask. Not yet.All Rights Reserved

If You Love Me, Get Clean by WestwoodsDevil

"And you're twenty three, unemployed, smoke a packet of cigarettes a day, shoot up every other evening, and in a relationship with your childhood best friend," she moves her hand blocking the sun from her eyes to raise an eyebrow at him. "What might that say about you?" He huffs, rolling onto his back. "That last point is more a negative reflection on you than me." • All aboard the Angst Train! Choo Choo!

Still The Addict by SteinShipping61

Sherlock has never believed in love, nor has he ever needed it. That has all changed now. He loves John Watson. He wants John Watson. It burns like fire, like heroin running through his veins. Not a desire. An addiction. Maybe it's just John. Maybe it's that intoxicating touch and empathetic demeanour. Maybe it's the way he cares so much. What makes Sherlock so addicted to John Watson? The man who's never wanted anyone now needs someone. Is it something he'll be able to handle?

The Subscription (Johnlock) by delightful_fear

"I might pay for a monthly subscription to an escort service where every month an escort tracks me down and seduces me in my daily life." (Thoughts from the shower). John is back in the UK, but he's stuck in a bit of a rut. Some friends get him a subscription to add some excitement back into his life... *Explicit but with a story *13 chapters total (mostly short). *Slow Burn Feels

The Way She Looked at Him by aliblol

It started with a look. It won't end with one. She never meant to notice him - not like that. But once she did, she couldn't stop. A quiet woman begins to orbit a stranger, her fascination growing with every accidental meeting, every shared glance. To her, it feels like love - gentle, fated, inevitable. Yet the more she looks, the less she truly sees him. What begins as longing slowly bends into something else: fixation, control, the illusion of connection. The Way She Looked at Him starts as a tender, introspective love story and deepens into a study of obsession - how easily affection can become delusion, and how dangerous it is to mistake noticing for knowing.

Almost, Always 🍁🥀 by _velvetverse_

"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.

What a Difference a Day Makes by tisforpterodactyl

Sherlock had an idea - a very bad idea, he was sure, but alcohol had a way of making bad ideas happen, did it not? Besides, it was for an experiment. His mind made up, Sherlock forced himself to look back at John who was now leaned against the back of the sofa and watching Sherlock with a soft smile. The detective swallowed thickly. "I dare you..." Sherlock began, his heart pounding a little harder than usual, "To pretend like you're in love with me for one day." John would refuse, of course. Wouldn't he?

The Show Must Go On by brinkofforever

*WATTYS 2024 SHORTLISTED* Ellie did the 'True Love' thing and it left her heartbroken. Now her dreams are smaller: win a BAFTA, convince her mother she's okay, and don't kill her infuriating colleague Nas. And definitely don't kiss him. 'I am suddenly aware of his hand on my waist. Has he always been this tall? Has he always smelled of smoke and cloves and warmth? My brain is collapsing. All it can think is NAS IS TOUCHING ME. His lips are coming down... Or mine are coming up... Does he want to kiss me? Even worse, do I want him to?'

Four Continents Watson (Johnlock) by delightful_fear

**SEQUEL TO Q& A** They have been friends for years. Now, they are trying for more. Will they get there? New relationships can be so fragile... *Friends to Lovers*

Johnlock Fluff (mostly) Oneshots by GayMultifandomChild

Pretty much what it says on the tin. There will be happy, cute, fluffy oneshots, but others will be sad and angsty. My writing is trash, but it's high quality trash. Harry and Glyn (from school) - you have read this before, please do not read it again or I will have the incentive to hurt you Please don't steal my ideas (unless I'm using a prompt) without giving credit and/or asking first :) I do not and will not write smut. Requests are closed indefinitely unless I miraculously rejoin the fandom. I do not own the characters or some of the plot. All of the characters belong to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and the BBC, or they are based off of people I know in real life. Enjoy :)

Nothing But Flowers (Johnlock) by delightful_fear

John is happy with his life as a successful surgeon. Why is he feeling so attracted to Sherlock, a man who is his opposite in so many ways? Even if he gave into temptation, there's no way this can be more than a quick, hot fling, right? An AU set 30 years in the future (the guys are still 40-ish)...But this is not a dystopia. Some things are better, some things worse, many things unchanged. 17 chapters, 68K words. Lots of sexy times. *Alternative Universe* *Future Fic* *Sherlock is a Sexy Beast* *Virtual Sex*
