Mrs. Turner's Problem: The Solution by tepidspongebath for rachelindeed
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV)

Summary
“Actually, would you mind if I came in with you?” John’s mind was buzzing again. He knew he’d been handed a missing puzzle piece, and damned if it wasn’t a big one—a largish, structurally significant corner piece that turned the picture from blue and orange blobs into Van Gogh’s sunflowers. “I need to speak to Mrs. Turner about an inhaler.”
John has taken on the case of Mrs. Turner's emptied bank account. This is the solution.

Summary
John Watson cautiously reveals his family history to Sherlock Holmes, fearing that his unusual heritage will get in the way of their relationship (or, more precisely, the relationship he wants them to have).
It doesn't. It actually, well, helps things along. In quite a multitude of ways.

Summary
For this prompt at https://sherlockkinkmeme.tumblr.com:
"Sherlock and John worked through their post S4 issues and are together, and John is shocked to find out Sherlock has been avoiding Molly out of guilt. John tells him he can’t come until he gives Molly the best orgasm of her life as an apology. Sherlock obeys John’s orders and gives Molly an orgasm as required, and then gives her another immediately after…just because he somewhat unexpectedly finds he enjoys doing this for her so much. ( Molly’s big smile at the end of s4) "
Huge thanks to Persian_Slipper (Luthe) for the fantastic beta work!

Summary
Jotted for a prompt on the kink meme. Because really, how could a linguistics scholar resist it?:
Sherlock finds John's porn stash. He reads the entire thing, and when John comes home, he finds part highlighted and circled where they've got it wrong.

A few times he gasps “John,” but she doesn’t think he even knows he’s saying it.
or, Sherlock's in trouble, John's not around, and Irene's only a phone call away.

Summary
I decided to write this after being OUTRAGED by the number of highly problematic and abusive fanfics I see on this site! Honestly I shouldn't even post it here at all, since AO3 is complicit in LITERAL SEX TRAFFICKING and ABUSE by allowing just anyone to post whatever they want. But it's the best website for posting fic. What am I supposed to do, raise money to pay for servers and use AO3's entirely, 100% open source code to start a new site that upholds REAL MORALITY? Anyways here's my fanfic. If you comment on this fic with ANY NEGATIVE OPINION it's ABUSE and I will call the FBI. I'm only 28, so if you comment on this fic at all and you're older than me, it's GROOMING and I will call the FBI.
Enjoy!
