After Irene escapes Moriarty's clutches to America with Sherlock's help, she has no more reason to try to prevent Sherlock and John's inevitable relationship. 
Instead, she blows up poor Sherlock's phone with advice on how to express his feelings towards John. 
After John's marriage to Mary, Irene offers her condolences, however, when John becomes a free man again after Mary's death, Irene the matchmaker is back stronger than ever, and although Sherlock appreciates her advice, really, he's sure John doesn't feel that way anymore. 
Meanwhile poor jealous John thinks Sherlock is interested in Irene. But he never was very observant.

-In which John is mad at himself for never getting over Sherlock and not feeling more upset about his wife's death, Sherlock is a poor gay baby who's pinning over a John Watson that he still thinks is straight (John's bisexual) and feeling guilty for Mary's death, and Irene is an amazing matchmaking lesbian who's essentially like Sherlock's sassy gay (lesbian) friend. 
-takes place in season 4, before the final problem
-under the assumption that Moriarty was trying to keep John and Sherlock apart and Irene was helping [watch TJLC Explained on YouTube] 
-please have watched up to season 4 episode 2 of BBC Sherlock before reading

[Sherlock x Female OC] The thing is, there is an empty, gaping hole at the base of John's throat where his overwhelming guilt and periodic bouts of torturous grief used to be. It would be so easy to... to be angry and punch a hole through the wall, through the foam of his pillow -- drive his fist through Sherlock's heart. But he remembers; in the most tragic and inopportune of fashion, remembers how angry he had been when Sherlock had jumped, how furious he had been at his funeral, and how it hadn't stopped him from breaking down at his grave nonetheless. The thing about his anger is this: it does nothing but leave him behind in the end, a bundle of nerves and frailty in his bones and an unsteady sway to his gait. It does nothing at all, but reduce marginally the constant, suffocating oppressiveness of his days bleeding into one another with a burst of adrenaline. The thing about his anger is this: it doesn't give him back Sherlock. So he gets a new flatmate- a woman named Holland. They were great friends at school and in fear he would be lonely again after Sherlock died he started to meet up with her, and soon, she moved in with him. They're just friends, though. No one could have a bond with John like Sherlock did. Sherlock was his best friend. But then Sherlock returns, and John is more furious than ever at him. Also, Sherlock and Holland seem to bond quite well, which is something Sherlock finds too complicated to explain itself.

This is stunning. You've built a wonderfully turbulent, passionate, and emotionally investing romance without taking shortcuts or writing smut." - FanFiction.net user, @randomreader "Everything just slides so smoothly. You literally watch Sherlock develop into something new: a sentimental man. Now that is what I call good writing." - Guest user on Fanfiction.net "It's beautiful and so vivid; I can feel the characters' emotions. This is so suspenseful, I'm completely swept up." - Guest user on Fanfiction.net "Everyone is in character, there is a plot, and the romance feels genuine and characteristic of the pair. But [romance] isn't the entire story. There is more going on around them which feels real." - Guest user on Fanfiction.net "Completely riveting. The way you portray Irene Adler [is] amazing." - Wattpad User @SubaDev "Out of all the Adlock books I've read, THIS ONE is the very best." - Wattpad User @jeon_park131
