Summary
Well, this is basically a ramble, inspired by a very angry person who believes that discussing any view but hers is somehow rude to her. So - I took her at her word and decided to toss some ideas out there and if you don't like them or see things in a different way - I am all about the fun of discussion. This is how I perceive some things on this show. To begin - a monograph on why Mary is not necessarily a good person but that she isn't an evil ogre either. I will see how this goes and if I get a few sane people who also like to share ideas rather than spew vitriol then we will continue on with such topics as Mycroft is an unsung hero and John is not a cuddly man. Please feel free to disagree but just keep it in the realm of decorum. Thanks for reading.

February 2021 Johnlock prompt challenge from ohlooktheresabee
So, I live to make things really hard and so I am going to try to pants a cohesive (hopefully) novel length story using these random prompts as chapter themes.
Sherlock has done something and it’s a really big thing. It was Molly’s idea, to be honest. But he hasn’t been honest with John, and you know how that’s going to go over. The not telling John was fine at first, but now, well, it’s not fine. Can Sherlock fix it or will he lose John again?
Please be advised that if you are easily triggered, there is a great possibility that you should not read my stories, so kindly heed that there are difficult subjects and traumatic occurrences.

Summary
Part 2 of The Camera Never Lies-read that one first!
There are wedding bells in the air for both Holmes brothers, but really, was it a good idea to plan it to take place at the quirky home of James and Eurus? Can you imagine the Christmas dinners now that James and his wife, Eurus, are hosting out on their island of Misfits? Let the party and the Angst begin. Guaranteed happy ending, but sometimes the best things in life are not perfect, nor what you expected. They are just Love Factually.

Summary
Greg began to notice something odd on the building across from his flat. He first thought it funny and dismissed it as a wasteful Governmental error, but as the bouquet of CCTV cameras multiplied he began to wonder if he was being wooed in a slightly creepy way.

Summary
A modern retelling of the classic ACD story, with a twist. Set in the same ‘verse as “Sherlock & the Illustrious Client”. Time: between “The Great Game” and “A Scandal in Belgravia.”

This story is really well thought out and I particularly liked the twists and turns whilst still nodding respectfully to ACD. Very creative and great voice.

Summary
It was such a simple question, one John had asked Sherlock countless times over the years. One he always ignored and rolled his eyes at. Snorted in amusement at.
But tonight, well, tonight Sherlock answered the seemingly simple question.
And the very much not simple answer almost ripped the heart straight out of John's ribcage.

I don't usually read such short fics, but this one has all the power and grace of something epic.

Summary
"You never asked me to make him love you back. That's always one of the first things that someone asks me, you know. 'Make him fall in love.' 'Make her love me.' 'Make him return my feelings.' 'Make him want me.' Blah, blah, blah, on and on and on. But you didn't do that. Neither did he."
This is a story of seven wishes.
One wasted wish, five wishes that changed the world, and one wish that changed nothing at all.

A great rewrite of Series 3 with all the good bits twisted into a new (more cohesive) story! Heavy on emotion and angst with tons of great twists.

Summary
Sherlock watched John's mouth as that smile slid away too quickly. There had been something there, something he'd not had time to analyze. He was left with the unsettling impression of having witnessed an expression that didn't belong on John Watson's face at all. In its wake it left the equally unsettling thought that perhaps he didn't know John as entirely as he thought he did.

Medical exam...non con. John is a bit not good. Still a great read. Still, one of the best dark fic ever. The 1st chapter is an emotional masterpiece of hot horror. You will hate John, right up until you see his motive.
