Word count: 8,533 Chapters: 3/3 Fandom: Sherlock (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson Additional Tags: Getting Together, Miscommunication, Post-Season/Series 01, takes place after Moriarty before Irene Adler, don't think too hard about the timeline please, it doesn't hold up to scrutiny, Mild Angst, Hopeful Ending Summary:

“It could be easily argued that I know you better than anyone else does. I am currently the only person you talk to on a regular basis, including your family, and I think you have come to understand me quite well in turn, which is more than can be said for most people.”

John stared at him. He wasn’t laughing. He didn’t look like he was expecting John to laugh.

“That’s your argument?” he said.

“You must admit that-“

“I’ve been dating people!” he snapped. “Women, Sherlock!”

John finds out that Sherlock has assumed for a while that their relationship was romantic, and feels like maybe he should have been notified about that.

======

Quickrec:  It’s always tricky to write about these two exposing their emotions to each other, but I thought this one did a good job.

Happy Thoughts

Soooo here’s five upbeat, cute, fluffy and/or funny Lukanette stories from me, and five from friends, just to refresh our souls. 

From me (these are all on my AO3 as well): 

The Perfect Gift 

I’ll Never Not Know You (I’m cheating a bit, because this is a whole collection of meet cutes, but I don’t think there’s a single angsty one in there)

Hey Gorgeous

Triple Threat

April Kisses (a collection of 30+ kiss prompts) 

From others (these are all AO3 links because they’re easier to lay hands on quickly):

Stolen Moments When You’re Mine  by @verfound (y’all when Ver does angst she does it amazing but I LIVE for her fluffy/humerous fics, do yourself a favor and go through her library she’s got so many funny ones that are perfect therapy right now)

Crowned by @semi-slaughtomatic

Humming by @nerdypanda3126

i'm in a world apart (a world where roses bloom) by @sapphicmarinette (forgive me friend I know this is one of your older ones but it’s still one of my very favorites ever) 

Lost and Found by @livrever

Errrrggghhh picking 5 was painful because there’s so many good ones...but if you want to do your own 5 and 5 I totally encourage it, it sure would be nice to see a bunch of fun and fluffy fic right now!

Quickrec: Utterly divine, a perfect snapshot of post-series 4 healing and love.

He will not think about about having Sherlock over the dining table, fucking him so hard he scrabbles at the wood and knocks over all the chemistry equipment. He won’t think about what Sherlock sounds like when he’s coming. 

He certainly won’t think about kissing Sherlock’s eyelids when he falls asleep on the sofa, television still tuned in to some documentary about the Bubonic plague.

=======

Quickrec: So deliciously angsty and dysfunctional, lack of communication ahoy! I love this writing style, stripped-down and cynical while packed with understated big-time feels to make the absolute most of those 7K.

A few weeks after Sherlock's return, he drags John to his childhood home in Yorkshire. There's just something about the place.

It says a lot about how Sherlock views their relationship, he supposes, that he’s brought him here—or it would, if it were anyone else.

======

Quickrec: Quickly run and read this! Slightly AU post-Reichenbach, in which there is no Mary and John never moved on or out. Just a lovely, natural slide into better versions of themselves and each other.

Word count: 9,896 Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Sherlock (TV) Rating: Mature Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson Characters: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, Detective inspector Hopkins, Brackenstall, Theresa Wright Additional Tags: The Adventure of the Abbey Grange, Domestic Violence, Forgiveness, Complete, POV John Watson, POV Sherlock Holmes Summary:

Set post Season 4, this is an update to ACD's "The Adventure of the Abbey Grange." John is questioning his relationship with Sherlock and wrestling with his own demons.

======

Quickrec: If you’re looking for a tidy casefic / series 4 fixit, check out this number. No actual Johnlock romance, but things are moving in that direction as the author says this is the first in what is meant to be a series. Rating probably is for mature themes (domestic violence, drug use).

======

Quickrec: How does this manage to pack so much into such an unassuming package? A life’s journey through the entire spectrum of human emotion, arriving finally at the destination of the heart’s desire. This somehow languished in my to-read pile for months; don’t make the same mistake!

======

Quickrec: A very neat little story that packs a whole lot more into its modest word count than I’d expected: a fascinating premise, a faithfully rendered exotic yet canon-appropriate setting, a lovely portrait of a partnership, and a juicy denouement.

Quickrec: So gorgeous, this gave me shivers and a kind of heartachy wistfulness at the pain both of them are in, yet somehow these two emotionally broken men make each other happy. Well worth a read.

In thanks, he and Watson are treated to a demonstration of feminine courage and devotion.

======

Quickrec: Holy moly, this fic does not mess around! I’m not familiar with the pastiche it’s based on, but suffice it to say it is an unrepentantly smutty, porny ACD verse where everyone has a good old free-spirited Bohemian time. With the bonus of a fresh rendition of 3GAB.

February, 2021: John (finally) moves back to Baker Street.

John opened his eyes. "Thought we agreed we weren't going to get takeaway for every meal."

"We won't. This is a special occasion." Sherlock stepped back from the chair, unable to keep a smile off his face, knowing that when John got up, it wouldn't be because it was time for him to leave. He lived here now. Again. Finally. It wasn't everything Sherlock had ever wanted—John would still be sleeping upstairs, not next to Sherlock in his bed—but it was still very, very good. Nearly perfect. He exhaled, letting his shoulders sag as a tension that had lived in him for years began to dissolve.

======

Quickrec: An adorable quartet of scenes from John and Rosie’s first week back at Baker Street. And it just happens to be leading up to Valentine’s Day, whatever do you imagine will happen? ;) Lest you think it’s going to be too squishy, it’s more of the quiet domestic emotionally reserved type of thing with a touch of pining and These Two Idiots. Highly recommend for your Valentine’s fix!

John and Sherlock have a good agreement, no strings attached. Of course John’s feelings for James Sholto won’t interfere with it, John thinks, like a fool.

======

Quickrec: Fresh and inventive farm AU with hot summer action, jealousy, bees, and a surprisingly tender core.

After a difficult breakup years earlier, Sherlock has decided that romance is something he can do without, but a blind date with the handsome, charming, funny (did we mention handsome?) John Watson might just prove him wrong--if he's willing to take the risk again.

======

Quickrec: A fresh and upbeat Valentine’s Day unilock AU meet-cute, with an absolutely adorable mini-epilogue that made me grin and sigh happily.
