The Missing Piece by suitesamba
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms
03 May 2016

Summary
After Sherlock’s suicide, John struggles to understand exactly what Sherlock was to him, and why he is mourning so deeply and wholly. He accepts help from an unwanted source, and in time is able to reconcile his feelings and move on to love again - just in time for Sherlock to reappear, awakening in John all the old feelings, but this time, the missing piece of the puzzle as well, the one he’d been unconsciously suppressing before the fall. To complicate matters, he’s got a relationship that’s actually working, a wedding to plan, a bright future ahead of him rather like the one he dreamed of before Afghanistan. Before Sherlock.
John has learned a lot about love in the years Sherlock’s been gone. The question is - how much has Sherlock learned?

The Sexual Awakening of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson by suitesamba
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV)
24 Dec 2013

Summary
Sherlock owes Mycroft a favor. Mycroft calls in that favor by offering Sherlock's consulting services in a charity auction. Sherlock and John soon find themselves at the country manor of Mrs. Ives-Patton Smarmington III - not very coincidentally a long-time friend of Sherlock's mother - where they are reluctant participants in her Murder Mystery Weekend. It's a play within a play for Sherlock and John, and their roles for the weekend event bleed over into their real lives, waking the sleeping dragons within.
Or
In which John learns that Sherlock owing Mycroft a favor is very suspect, and Sherlock has a very bad idea.

Penumbra by Saki101
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms, Dark Shadows (1966), Dark Shadows - All Media Types, BBC Sherlock
03 May 2016
Tags
Summary
A gothic AU of the Sherlock universe inspired by the universe of Dark Shadows (the television series), presented in four episodes*, and written for the Miniseries March Challenge at Fall TV Season Sherlock.
Preview: In Maine, there was Collinwood and the three centuries of history that were woven into its walls. In London, there is Holmeswood Manor (or the Manor on Baker Street as the urban legends have it), tucked now into a city street when once its oak woods rolled from the heath to the river.
John’s grown up with its stories of ghosts and wizards and things that hunt in the night. They are certainly not going to keep him from interviewing for a residential post at the Manor because he cannot afford London on an army pension and there could not possibly be any truth to those tales.
***
*An extra chapter of missing scenes, Addenda: Baskerville & Chapalu, was added in May.

Summary
“And once again, you think you know what’s best for me.”
John rises from the chair, the anger and frustration and hurt overwhelming him, bursting out of every pore, and he doesn’t even know for sure that it’s Sherlock he’s angry at, really, but the only reason he tied himself to Mary in the first place is because the person he really loved left him behind, and the woman he married once sat in the shadows above a darkened swimming pool and aimed a sniper rifle at his heart and later shot his best friend in cold blood and cuckolded him and just gave birth to a child that wasn’t his and right now he just can’t do this, he just fucking can’t do this anymore.
***
John has to somehow rebuild his life in the wake of Mary's betrayal and Sherlock's deceptions.

Summary
John Watson is not the person people think he is. That's not their fault though. He's got special—natural—skills that make him an impressive fake.
Important note: Knowledge of the anime Blood+ is *not* required in order to enjoy this fic. There's a lot of characters even if they don't appear for a long time, it can be complicated, and I've added on to it, but I have approached this fic under the assumption readers haven't watched it.
Blood+ (and Sherlock) spoilers inbound.
