Summary
In this post-“Sherlock” story, Sherlock, as it turns out, is not the only one with demons underneath his road; John has his own share of demons waiting for him, too. And now, not only is John compelled to remember old traumas from his childhood, but the demons under his road have arisen to threaten his life and the lives of his loved ones. Can Sherlock and John’s other friends deliver him and his family from them? This story is part casefic and part physical/emotional hurt/comfort. (Part of the back history of this story comes from a previous 20-chapter story of mine, which I posted back in early 2021, “Please, God, Let Me Live.”)
[NOTE: Read boldfaced note at the bottom of my opening notes below this story summary about my reason for including this story in three of my Ao3 lists, preceding "First Christmas"—ran out of room in this summary!]
5-28-25: I have just included a closing author's note to this story, announcing a new story that I'm soon going to start posting!

Summary
It wasn't his fault. Adrenaline was coursing through his veins, blinding him to danger - as is the way of the soldier. He was so fixed on the thrill of the chase, he didn't hear Sherlock's warning shout. He didn't see the empty elevator shaft.
That is, until he was already falling.

Summary
In this world, 99.999% of omegas are bio females and 100% of bio females are omegas. There are alpha males and beta males. Beta males can’t breed, only alpha males can breed. Betas can fuck, can come, but are sterile. Sherlock thinks he’s a beta (he’s sterile after all), there are many things about him that belong in one .001% or another.
As such, a few surprises lead the Baker Street boys on a journey unlike any other <3
Disclaimer: This is my interpretation of the omegaverse, i.e., a fictional universe made up by horny internet people. I’m not electing to follow the “usual” rules of said universe, offering instead a subtler, more nuanced approach. Like, let’s pretend that millennia of evolution have diminished some of the more “animalistic” features of the omegaverse.
Things you won’t find in this fic: bonding via bites, scent/scenting, obvious/painful heats, overt dom/sub, breasts, slick, litters, class roles governed by presentation.
Things you will find in this fic: Smut, sex, surprise preg, Mpreg, breeding kink, lactation, medical discussions, pregnant sex, the boys being daddies in every sense of the word.

Summary
While attempting to navigate a new relationship, John Watson dwells on a lot from his past. The last few years have been a complete clusterfucked whirlwind of crime, chaos and complete catastrophes. Impossible feelings were felt, lines crossed, and bounds broken, so how can he fault himself for thinking and feeling a lot these days? A lot done and said by the Holmes’, a lot to do with his aching shoulder in the newly frosted London streets, a lot in reluctant regard to his time spent in Afghan.
And on remembrance day, too. The perfect time to interpret signs that don’t exist; enable old, aching habits; and upset his shoulder and the chunk of 9 millimetre ammunition still stubbornly intact inside him. Between old scar tissue, frigid metal hardens and spites him, stirring a plethora of unwanted and uncomfortable truths, ones John Watson isn’t sure he’ll ever be ready to face. The perfect time for a new case to envelop his life, what was supposed to be a distraction turning into a black hole he’s forced to look at.
OR
as a new case is presented to him and Sherlock during Memorial Day weekend, John starts to struggle with his trauma harder than usual.

The Case of John Watson's Heart by ajdumpsherstories

Summary
The night after he adds a second bullet to his revolver, he meets Sherlock Holmes.
John's heart is wrenched from his chest with cold, plying words. His body is laid bare, more naked than he was in the heat of the warmest Afghan nights. He feels wrung and laid out to die in a sandy ditch, the bullet wound flayed open under icy-blue eyes.
“Dying to your own hand would be incredibly stupid, Watson,” Sherlock says, “If you’re going to die, let your heart do the killing.”
or; John Watson's heart has never been his own; he’s given pieces of it to everyone, but none more than Sherlock Holmes—and he buries him with it.

Summary
After a few painful moments, Sherlock stood, approaching the kitchen table. He leaned in the doorway, with his hands carefully folded behind him.
His deduction: John’s PTSD.
He took in the sight of his friend for a few more moments, hearing his irregular breaths against the sound of the storm, before drawing in his own breath to speak out.
“John, it’s time to wake up.” Sherlock hummed, careful to approach the doctor. He took a few careful steps over just to be at arm’s length.
OR
John has an episode, and Sherlock does his best to help.

Summary
“Sherlock...”
Sherlock looks up on his name, his hands wrapped tightly around each other, and he blinks at John expectantly.
“Yes?” he says, and John takes a deep breath, letting the air leave his body in a sort of pained whistle. There’s a pit in his stomach that he knows isn’t just there from knowing what is about to happen. It’s years of waiting and watching and hoping and always, always being let down, and now for some reason John decides that he needs to tell him.
He deserves to know.
