Me again, What's out there best casefics? Thank you very much!!!
Reply: Here are a couple of older lists to start you off:
Long (50K+) high-rated casefics
Long, angsty casefics
Novella-length casefics (15-50K) - Part 1 / Part 2 
And some newer casefics posted since:
2017by 7PercentSolution, J_Baillier (11K, T, Johnlock)Sherlock takes on a case that raises unexpected challenges, both professional and personal. Memories of times before John complicate matters.
A Society of Martlets by zmethos (26K, NR, Johnlock)The murder of two men who resemble Sherlock and John sets them on the trail of a secret organization.
a vein of frostby zingiber (58K, E, Johnlock, John/OFC)As winter falls over London, Sherlock finds himself struggling to cope with a five-year-old goddaughter, a bizarre series of holiday-themed murders, and a new woman in John's life.
In the Still of the Nightby SilentAuror (42K, E, Johnlock)As locals on the Northeastern coast begin to report UFO sightings, life at Baker Street becomes significantly awkward as John brings up his desire for more than friendship and Sherlock refuses him. They embark on the investigation from the confines of the tiny cottage Mycroft has rented for them, attempting to navigate both the clues of the case as well as their own inability to communicate...
Just to Hold You Close by sussexbound (70K, E, Johnlock)When a woman is murdered and the last person to see her alive is recently invalided army vet turned reluctant (and prickly) professional cuddler, John Watson, Sherlock Holmes is pulled into a world of intimacy and intrigue he never could have imagined.  John is a conundrum and mystery: frank yet reserved, tender yet angry, open yet afraid.  Sherlock is instantly drawn into his orbit, and begins to feel and desire things he never has before.
Mr. Psychopathby zingiber (80K, E, Johnlock)John's life unravels.  Still reeling from the Magnussen case, he begins to question everything he thought he knew:  his marriage, his child's safety, and his relationship with Sherlock.  And a stranger has come to Baker Street with a case for Sherlock - one that will draw them into a dark conspiracy that threatens to consume them all.  It's fine.  It's all fine.
Privacy in the Digital Age by lumanimal (10K, T, Johnlock)Just back from Baskerville, John discovers a strange new ability: he can hear Sherlock’s thoughts. What he overhears will challenge the way he understands Sherlock- and their relationship.
Raw by kirin_calls (149K, E, Johnlock, Johnstrade, Viclock)When John takes up mixed martial arts training, he doesn't expect it to lead to a new relationship. But there are darker things afoot at the gym, and John is soon drawn in deeper than he wants. When an old flame from Sherlock's past turns up, it's time for everyone to declare their loyalties... and for John to finally discover where his heart truly belongs.
Side Effects by MissDavis (87K, E, Johnlock)Life is a lot better for Sherlock and John than it was a year ago. Yes, John still can’t walk and Sherlock is still on antidepressants, but they’re married now, and almost everything else is back to their version of normal. They have a dog. Sherlock’s solving cases again. But when Moriarty learns of their marriage, he escapes from prison and takes it upon himself to make their lives miserable. Is Sherlock really up to the challenge of catching a criminal whose only goal is to make sure that he and John don’t live happily ever after? (Part of a series but can be read on its own.)
Signs Followingby Vulgarweed (24K, E, Johnlock)1976. Bone Fiddle-verse; Appalachian AU. A couple years into their relationship, John and Sherlock are cozily setting up for spring with Mrs. Hudson's expert guidance when a distraught young woman appeals to them for help and sends them on one of their strangest cases yet - in order to solve one murder and prevent another, they must tangle with a sinister preacher and enter the much-sensationalized, little-understood world of Pentecostal Holiness believers who strictly observe Mark 16: 17-18.  
Silent Nightby khorazir (15K, M, Johnlock)It’s Christmas Eve 1944, and Sherlock Holmes has received his most precious gift already: after a long, dangerous deployment, Surgeon Captain John Watson of the Royal Navy has unexpectedly returned from the front. As if this weren’t enough, there’s a case. Both events make for a night full of promise, excitement, and the difficult task of getting reacquainted with the man Sherlock hasn’t seen in three years and feared he’d lost forever.
The Monument of Memory by J_Baillier (79K, M, Johnlock)A genius traumatised by a past he’s only beginning to recall. The psychopath sister that time forgot. A missing woman and a mentalist who may or may not be a murderer. And, in the middle of it all, stands John Watson.
The Red Ridge by Mamaorion (16K, M, Johnlock)Four years into their relationship post s4, Sherlock reminisces the case in Snowdonia that finally brought he and John together... with help from a perilous murder scene investigation, a terrible nightmare, and a forgotten violin.
White Knight by DiscordantWords (69K, M, Johnlock)Green. The word green was used to convey a great many things. Illness. Envy. Inexperience.Standing there amidst Janine’s chattering bridesmaids, watching Sherlock furrow his brow and study fabric swatches, watching him smile and simper and flirt, John thought it a remarkably apt colour choice. Because he felt quite sick to his stomach, he feared the source of said sickness might very well be jealousy, and he had absolutely no idea at all what to do about it. Or: Sherlock needs to fake a relationship for a case. He doesn’t ask John.

Me again, I love this site, today I am looking for established relationship fics long less sex more cases or angst. It's okay if there are sex but doesn't drive the whole story. JohnLOCK!! Thank you very much.
Reply: Whoo, this one is hard! Long, case-focused established relationship fics without (much) sex. The criterion I had the most trouble with was “long”, which for me starts at 50K. Even so, I extended that a bit on the low end in order to get a few more fics on the list.
Absentminded by ScopesMonkey (56K, M, Johnlock)With the Christmas season right around the corner, Sherlock is called in to investigate the case of a man whose assault has left him without his memory.
Crush It Till the Petals Fall by KeelieThompson1 (59K, M, Johnlock)In the aftermath of the second roof meeting, Sherlock must work out how he is going to get his family back. (This is part of a much longer series, which it’s best to read in order for it all to make sense, but I don’t recall how many of those earlier installments focus on cases.)
Impossible to Feign by achray (49K, M, Johnlock)Sherlock leant forward, his long fingers curving round to grip John’s.“I won’t let him win,” he said, eyes hard. “I will do whatever it takes to get you out.”
Law Like Love by PlaidAdder (52K, T, Johnlock and Janine/Harry)Six months after Sherlock didn't go off on that mission to eastern Europe after all, all is well at 221B Baker Street. Little Rachel is just beginning to sleep through the night. John and Sherlock are sleeping with each other. Charles Augustus Magnussen is alive and unwell and just about bankrupt. And Mary is nowhere in sight.Obviously the events of "His Last Vow" were not what they seemed. What really happened? How did we get here from there?Well, we're going to find out. Backwards.
On the Rack by 7PercentSolution, J_Baillier (248K, E, Johnlock)The sequel to The Breaking Wheel, in which Sherlock goes to rehab (of the other sort), starts scraping his life back together, attempts to solve a case, and tries to make sense of what it actually means to be in a relationship.
Over Earth and Under Earth by khorazir (196K, M, Johnlock)Three months after finally acknowledging their mutual feelings, John and Sherlock are not much closer to sorting out their relationship, hindered by cases, work, family issues, everyday matters and by being themselves. Will a strange case out in the Suffolk countryside bring a solution or further complicate things?
Prior Engagements by PlaidAdder (123K, T, Johnlock, Mollstrade, Janine/Harry)Years after Mary melted into the darkness, John and Sherlock are at their wits' end. Rachel Watson, aged nine, is about as difficult as you might expect a child raised by Sherlock Holmes and John Watson to be. But life is no picnic for Rachel, either. John won't even talk about her mother; and ever since Uncle Mycroft was assassinated, Sherlock just hasn't been himself. It doesn't help that the British government is in the hands of a gang of corrupt criminals. John finally decides that the right boarding school might give Rachel the structure she seems to need. It's not until Rachel disappears that he and Sherlock realize that someone else has had the same idea.
The Master of Latham Hall by Kryptaria (47K, T, Johnlock)Ten years after meeting Sherlock Holmes, John Watson has successfully kept only one secret from the world's only consulting detective: the most important secret he's ever had.Now, drawn into an impossible web of murders at Latham Hall, John learns the terrible price a man must pay for keeping certain things secret.
The Young Men Carbuncular by PlaidAdder (106K, T, Johnlock and Mollstrade)The morning after John and Sherlock's party is full of surprises. Harry finds a priceless blue gemstone in the entrails of a chicken. John and Sherlock find themselves on the trail of something more sinister than a jewel theft. Lestrade finds himself in Molly's bed. Which seems, to both of them, like a pretty big problem...until Molly finds a corpse in her garden.Lestrade and Molly try to solve the murder--and hopefully solve the mystery of how they actually feel about each other. Sherlock and John try to figure out how that sapphire got into that chicken...and how this relationship upgrade is supposed to work. Harry, well, all she's trying to do is start up a law practice and get back into the dating game. But they're all trapped in the same weird web; and they're not the only ones being drawn into its center.
Underground Rescue by khorazir (48K, M, Johnlock)All kinds of danger lurk in the disused stations of the London Underground. When Sherlock goes missing, John has to play detective to find him, while Sherlock faces demons both present and past.
Writing on the Wall by ScopesMonkey (45K, M, Johnlock and Mollstrade)Having returned from Wales with John injured and a betrayal looming in the background, Sherlock is refusing cases, until both John and a baffling double murder get the better of him.

Best Story for 'the other one'? i.e the other brother or sister? Thank you very much. I love your website a lot....
Reply: You are my best “customer,” I love your input and ideas. Thank you for keeping me active! I hope everything is okay where you are.
The Other One (Eurus)
I made a list a year ago of fics that feature Eurus
And here are a few more:
(Never) Turn Your Back to the Sea by DiscordantWords (39K, M, Johnlock)Baker Street is very much the same. Only different. And Sherlock is just trying not to drown.
So Closely Allied by J_Baillier (10K, T, Johnlock)She has always been a part of his life but now, she needs to leave.
The Monument of Memory by J_Baillier (79K, M, Johnlock)A genius traumatised by a past he’s only beginning to recall. The psychopath sister that time forgot. A missing woman and a mentalist who may or may not be a murderer. And, in the middle of it all, stands John Watson. 
The Other One (Brother)
@alexxphoenix42 has a Bondlock list with several fics in which Q is the third Holmes brother.
And these are the ones that I have that feature another Holmes brother:
Bees for you,tea for me by Caers (19K, NR, Johnlock)John is six when they meet, but henever forgets it. How do you possibly forget the event that bringsyou the most important thing in your life? A life and friendship, told in flashbacks and present.
Icarus Is Goby lookupkate (22K, E, Johnlock, Mycroft/OMC)Sherlock takes a job in MI6 after feeling like his life isn'tgoing anywhere. His disillusionment over government work and thedeath of the eldest Holmes brother (not Mycroft) send him spiralingtowards disaster. Mycroft sees this all happening and devises a planto get Sherlock to an army base to get clean. He even has a specificdoctor in mind. It should all go smoothly.
Skeletonsseries by flawedamythyst (174K, T, Johnlock, Sherrinford/Molly)Sherlock's refusal to talk about his past hides far more skeletonsthan John could ever have guessed at.  Halloween-esque AU.
The Best of Times by Polyphony (72K, M, Johnlock, John/OMC)Struggling to cope with life after Reichenbach, John is gravely injured during a vicious, apparently motiveless street attack. Convalescing, on Mycroft’s invitation, at the Holmes family seat, John encounters someone entirely unexpected and uncovers an intriguing seventeen year-old mystery. Things hot up as John finds himself battling to work out the solution before James Moriarty’s legacy catches up with him – and also rekindling a love affair that was never really given the chance to blossom.
The LostSpecial: Family Matters (As Do Relationships) by ShirleyCarlton(144K, M, Johnlock)Sherrinford is not really the name of some high security prison.That was just a figment of John’s frantic coma dream. And Eurus isnot actually Sherlock’s sister. That’s just something random shesaid to John before shooting him. Sherlock and John were neveractually estranged. That was just their act to cover up what reallyhappened to Mary – or Rosamund Moran, as her real name has turnedout to be. Sherlock does have a secret sibling, though, and his nameis Sherrinford.
The Wench IsDead by Chryse (15K, E, Johnlock, Sherlock/OMC)“Youthought…not just you, Molly too. Probably everyone assumed it. Youthought that bad things happened because I used drugs. That I madeterrible choices and got myself hurt. And you weren’t wrong, notexactly. You just got it backwards.” What Sherlock put in the box.

Thank you for all your recs. I love this site. I want a Sherlock fic with a dog or Sherlock and a dog. Thank you very much
Reply: Thank you, so glad we can help. I have to give credit to the others who are also adding their recs because there’s no way one person can read everything! Here’s what I’ve found for you for this request, maybe others can add more:
Sherlock and dogs
A Study in Bees by daasgrrl (20K, E, Johnlock)Sherlock's life, in bees.
Gone Is My Past by cyerus (7K, T, Gen)John is an army bomb detection dog who has been turned into a human. Angst. No, really, angst.
Humdingers And Melancholiesby flawedamythyst (9K, G, Johnlock)Who would have guessed that John would be the one who struggled with retirement?
Into the Dark by bittergreens (10K, E, Johnlock)When Lestrade calls John and Sherlock in to help arrest the ringleader of a notorious dog fighting syndicate, things don’t go quite according to plan. Sherlock has a bad reaction. It’s up to John to pull him back from the edge.
Nine Lives of the Human Heart by 221b_careful_what_you_wish_for (17K, M, Johnlock)Sherlock and John are flatmates again at Baker Street, stitching their lives back together, navigating around everything left unsaid between them -- until one hot night the barriers come crashing down. Yet nothing is ever quite that simple. Sherlock has a debt to repay for eliminating Magnussen, and John, still wary of being broken again, has to decide how deeply to let himself get involved.  Starts off a bit dark, ends up steamy and sweet.
Prism by agirlsname (29K, E, Johnlock)If Sherlock and John were a couple before the fall - what would it be like when Sherlock came back?
Saving Sherlock Holmes by earlgreytea68 (139K, M, Johnlock and Mystrade)Sherlock Holmes, schoolboy. Yeah, that basically sums it up.
Side Effectsby MissDavis (86K, E, Johnlock)Life is a lot better for Sherlock and John than it was a year ago. Yes, John still can't walk and Sherlock is still on antidepressants, but they're married now, and almost everything else is back to their version of normal. They have a dog. Sherlock's solving cases again. But when Moriarty learns of their marriage, he escapes from prison and takes it upon himself to make their lives miserable. Is Sherlock really up to the challenge of catching a criminal whose only goal is to make sure that he and John don't live happily ever after? Part of a series but can be read on its own.
The Baker Street Nativity series by SwissMiss (109K, E, Johnlock)Fusion between Sherlock (BBC) and Nativity! (2009 movie starring Martin Freeman). Sherlock is a primary school teacher and John is assigned to be his classroom assistant. Together, they are charged with putting on the school's Nativity play. What could possibly go wrong?
The Intricate Dance of the Butterfly Observed Over Timeby mydogwatson (14K, NR, Johnlock)The story of Sherlock and John.  Fragments of a life.  From the start, but not quite all the way to the end.
And this which I haven’t read but I came across while searching and I think you will appreciate given some of your previous requests:
Carpe Diem series by whitchry9 (40K, T, Gen)A universe where Sherlock has epilepsy and a seizure alert dog named Gladstone. Gladstone provides heavy doses of sass, leaving John to do what he does best, which is worry.

I want fics where in Lock isn't a virgin an an openly and proudly gay man. . Thank you very much.
Reply: I just posted a list for Sherlock/OMC fics, which I think pretty much all of them qualify, and this older list should also have items that match your request:
Sherlock dates another man with John’s knowledge
Additionally, @alexxphoenix42 has a list of fics where Sherlock comes out as gay and another where “Sherlock is flamboyant”, which I assume means that he is openly gay.
Beyond that, honestly there are a huge number of fics in which Sherlock is openly gay and has had relationships prior to John. I can’t possibly list them all, but here are some I found just with a quick browse of my bookmarks:
The Bone Fiddle Series by htebazytook, Vulgarweed (145K, E, Johnlock)Or, as we like to call it behind its back, "The Erotic Adventures of Hillbilly Sherlock Holmes." Appalachian AU-verse; West Virginia coal country, early 1970s.
Boyfriend Material by PoppyAlexander (151K, E, Johnlock)Boston Brawlers' team captain John Watson longs for two things: a championship before he retires, and a boyfriend. Assigned to room with goaltender Sherlock Holmes--known around the league as both a genius and a "weird dude"--on Brawlers' roadtrips, John discovers the things they have in common that lead to an easy friendship and a convenient arrangement.
Breakfast in Kabul by alexxphoenix42 (16K, E, Johnlock)By the early 2000's, the conflict in Afghanistan had become a magnet for journalists, hangers-on, and all manner of opportunists pouring in from the west. Though Sherlock was dismayed to find himself in the midst of the sodding mess, one solitary feature looked to redeem his trip to Kabul. That one thing was a force of nature named John Watson.
Gimme Shelter by SinceWhenDoYouCallMe_John (159K, E, Johnlock)All John Watson wants is the feeling of a freshly waxed surfboard under his feet and the hot California sun baking down onto his back. To finally go pro in the newly formed world of professional surfing and leave the dark memories of his past behind him as he rips across the face of a towering blue barrel. To lounge beside the beach bonfire every evening with an ice cold beer tucked into the cool sand beside him and listen to Pink Floyd and the Doors while the saltwater dries in his sun bleached hair.That's all he wants, that is, until the hot young phenom taking Oahu and the Hawaiian shores by storm steps up next to him in the sand in the second round of the 1976 International Surf Competition.
Masters of Ink by Indybaggins (67K, E, Johnlock)  John has a triple-coiled tattoo machine in his hand and a row of inks at the ready. He has gloves on, a willing client in front of him, and a detailed stencil. He is ready to win this bloody competition. Except he’s competing against Sherlock Holmes...First-meeting-on-a-reality-show AU, Ink Master edition! There is expert tattooing, slightly less expert flirting, and two men falling hard. But John is married, and they can’t all win.
Mountebank by Odamaki (26K, M, Johnlock)“I am calm,” John snaps, leaning on the door to glare out at the dark streets around them. Sherlock’s not said where they’re going; all he knows is they came off the ring road to the west of London and have vanished somewhere into the depths of Berkshire. All he knows is that he’s been trussed up in a suit that wasn’t hired from anywhere and if brought new would edge up into the triple figure margins. “Be calmer,” Sherlock advises, with a trace of irony. “We’re going to a party.”
One Night In Decemberby HollySykes (126K, E, Johnlock)London, 29th December 1940, 8 pm. The London Blitz reached its nadir with the bombing of the City of London and the area around its most beloved landmark, St. Paul’s Cathedral. John Watson and Sherlock Holmes meet as the flames blaze and roar all around them. But who is that dark-haired young man and why is he risking his life in such a careless manner? This is what Doctor Watson is wondering, as he eventually becomes enmeshed in a mystery that will take him away from his dreary, hopeless life and plunge him into the secret life of wartime London. (See other fics by the same author as well.)
Thermoclineby J_Baillier (83K, M, Johnlock)John "Five Oceans" Watson — technical dive instructor, dive accident analyst and weapon of mass seduction — meets recluse professor of maritime archaeology Holmes. As they head out to a remote archipelago off the coast of Guatemala to study and film its shipwrecks for a documentary, will sparks fly or fizzle out? (Also see other fics by the same author.)
Hearts at Home series by yalublyutebya (74K, M, Johnlock)A series of stories chronicling the intertwined lives of Father John Watson and Sherlock Holmes.
Again, this really just scratches the surface. It’s an extremely common take in fics.

Hi, I hope u were doing fine wherever you are. I want a story wherein JohnLock had a son, because their kids was always a girl. Thank you very much.
Reply: Before series 4, parentlock fics were probably about evenly split between the kid(s) being a boy or a girl. Here are the ones I have with only boys:
Parentlock with a boy
A Shipless Ocean by myswordfishmind (22K, M, Johnlock)Ten years after the fall Sherlock goes back to London to find that John no longer lives there. Instead, he resides in a seaside town, a widower, and the father of a seven year old son. Now, Sherlock must struggle with the fact that there may no longer be a place for him in this new world.
Albion and the Woodsman by glenmore (54K, NR, Johnlock)Post Series 3. Sherlock and John are devastated after Mary Morstan makes her final moves. Sherlock relapses at the crack house, John walks around the world ...and a lot happens in between. Parentlock, in the good way.
Always a Neverland by suitesamba (11K, M, Johnlock)John is living a quiet life at 221B with his son when Sherlock Holmes, dead and gone ten years, appears at his door.  There’s an excellent reason he’s been gone, and several very good ones for taking him back, but the best one of all is Will, who falls in love with Sherlock as surely as John once did.
Expectations by rosenritter (28K, Mature, Johnlock)Omegaverse / Post-ReichenbachSeveral months after setting his brother loose on the trail of Moriarty’s network, Mycroft Holmes receives a tip about John Watson, who has made himself scarce after the Fall. What he finds has the potential to render Sherlock’s mission a no-win scenario.Sherlock left something behind before he fell from St. Bart’s. It’s the one last thing John has left to really live for and the odds are not in his favor.
Learning Curve by allfinehere(41K, M, Johnlock)John is a Kindergarten teacher. One of his students, a boy named Henry Holmes, refuses to speak in school. John is determined to get to the bottom of it, and that is how he meets Sherlock Holmes.
Nature and Nurture series by earlgreytea68 (220K, M, Johnlock)The British Government accidentally clones Sherlock Holmes. Which brings a baby to 221B Baker Street.
Reignite and Burn Down by augustbird (25K, E, Johnlock)When Mary dies, John finds himself in financial trouble without a home for himself and his young son.  There's not much choice except to turn to his ex, Sherlock Holmes.
The Infiltrate Series by SkipandDi (117K, E, Johnlock)This is a moment Sherlock will look back to time and again as the future stalks forward; an instance he will use to justify his actions, the decisions he will make. He'd known Moriarty was working solely for his attention, even John had recognized as much during the first assault. But Sherlock has been a fool, a dangerous, incompetent fool, because this is so far beyond all that. It always has been.
The James Holmes Chronicles by prettyvk (334K, E, Johnlock)Sherlock and John adopt Moriarty’s son.
The Third Holmes by heartsdesire456 (30K, M, Johnlock)After Sherlock's death, John was an empty shell. He felt like he was simply existing. Until the day, a few months after Sherlock's death, that Mycroft asks something of John that John had never expected. Faced with caring for the teenaged son John didn't know Sherlock even had, John is tested beyond his wildest dreams as he is forced to learn to be a parent. Just when everything seems well and John and the boy he considers his own child have settled into a happy life, everything is turned upside down by the arrival of someone John never expected to ever see again.
Wars We Fought, Things We’re Not by blueink3 (55K, M, Johnlock)“Oh come, John. Could be fun,” Mycroft taunts, accompanied by an eyebrow arch he’s gotten far too good at. “Besides, it’s not as if it’s your first time pretending to be a couple.” Five months after John's world has fallen apart, Mycroft sends the consulting detective and his doctor on a case that neither is prepared for.
What Was Left After by KatriaBloom (34K, Teen, Johnlock)Post Reichenbach. Six months after The Fall, John Watson arrives home to 221B to find a baby. In the three years Sherlock is presumed dead, John raises the child as his own. When Sherlock arrives home, the world he has rebuilt for himself starts to crumble all over again.

Hi, SwissWiss, What are your top 10 personal favorite fics of all time? I know you do the best of the year, but as there are too many I want your personal favorite list. I really love this req site. I am so bored right now because of this Corona Virus thing. I want to read your favorite Sherlock fics. Thank you very much the help with navigating my new fandom.
Reply: I have been asked this before, and I’m sorry but it is literally impossible to narrow it down to 10. Also, many of the early “classics” have since been deleted unfortunately.
So as not to leave you empty-handed, however, I will direct you toward a “Starter Pack” list which I made last year with pretty much one rec per season plus some standard tropes (sickfic, parentlock, fake relationship, retirement). It has a good representation of excellent classic fics.

I was reading a fic a couple of days ago and I lost it; it was in Canada. Mycroft sent Sherlock out in the wilderness with John... THANK YOU VERRY MUCH.
Reply: That sounds very much like this one:
Northwest Passage by Kryptaria (95K, Explicit, Johnlock)Seven years ago, Captain John Watson of the Canadian Forces Medical Service withdrew from society, seeking a simple, isolated life in the distant northern wilderness of Canada. Though he survives from one day to the next, he doesn’t truly live until someone from his dark past calls in a favor and turns his world upside-down with the introduction of Sherlock Holmes. 
If not, please have a look at my Canadian rec list for more fics.

Me again, I am now writing my first Sherlock fic in a little while it will be on child abuse and autism. Anyway, not the point, can you rec me fics aftermath of when SH got shot in the heart with adverse effects, difficultly with running or something like that? thank you.
Reply: I pretty much just did a search for fics set during or after His Last Vow, so I’m sure there are many more, but this should give you a good start:
Aftermath of Sherlock being shot
Act IV by SilentAuror (39K, E, Johnlock)After Sherlock is shot, John moves back into Baker Street. They spend the autumn together as John tries to make sense of his life and make some important decisions about both Mary and Sherlock.
carrying up his morning tea by darcylindbergh (34K, E, Johnlock)His fingers tremble as he dials and he can’t force them steady. Familiar number, even though he hasn’t used it in two years. He isn’t even sure he should be calling it now, but she’d asked. She’d made him promise.

I read a fic from this rec site that deals with SH losing his 5 years of his memories cause of a head injury that was the best years of his life? I lost my bookmarks. thank you for the past recs
Reply: Are you sure it wasn’t John who lost 5 years? Because that might be:
A Desperate Indulgence by LollipopCop (34K, M, Johnlock)John thinks it's 2012 after waking up with amnesia, having no memory of Mary. Sherlock, exhausted from years of tension and hiding his love, pretends they got married instead.
If that’s not it, it might be on my Amnesia list.

Sports AU’s
Plus my Other Professions collection on AO3, which should have some more that are not already on one of the above lists.

In season 2 Sherlock faked his death for John, Lestrade and Missis Hudson; were there any fics that deal with what if Sherlock's fall had gone wrong? I am from House, MD and a friend suggested that I watch Sherlock. The show never did justice to these characters because after S2 it became more espionagy, you know what I mean; fanfics do, however. Thank you for all the recs.
Reply: Ah, thus the Hilson in your username! 😄 The only fics I’m coming up with at the moment where “the fall” goes wrong are these:
Faith Like a Child by Ricechex (41K, T, Gen (background Warstan but it’s a different Mary))What if, when Sherlock jumped from the roof of St. Bart's, things had not gone quite according to plan? What if he came away from the jump with a serious injury, resulting in brain damage? Still the brilliant mind, the ability to see that which others do not, but rather than the rationality of an adult, he has the understanding of a child? And just how does John deal with this?
Lucidity by almostvirginia (65K, E, Johnlock)When Sherlock's plans for the Fall go awry, he winds up in a coma. John finds the two of them in a place he didn't expect—in more ways than one. But will John be able to help Sherlock escape the prison of his own mind?
Plus this fanvid which I think also fills the brief:
Sherlock / Asylum AU by AnimaObscuri(3:34, NR, Gen)Horror version of Sherlock survival. St. Bartholomeus hospital rooftop is a tricky place to jump off. All Sherlock’s nightmares are going to come to life.
I know there are definitely more, they are just hard to search for. If anyone else has one, please let us know!
