Summary
Just where exactly is the line between “to love” and “to be in love”? What difference is required between “flatmate” and “husband”? (Besides the rings, obviously.) No, the important bit is that they have each other. Thirty years, give or take, in an atypical marriage. Basically a long bit of platonic domestic fluff.

Summary
Shortly after Sherlock's return John realises something is very wrong with his friend. He, Greg and Mycroft try to help Sherlock as he falls deeper and deeper into the abyss called PTSD. But Sherlock is not ready to allow anyone in, but then the events of the current case cause him to hit bottom hard.
This story starts quite slow, but it will gather momentum and later turn into a large pile of hurt, angst, and comfort chasing each other. Weekly updates.

Summary
The danger of having a detective for a flatmate is that he's liable to notice *everything.* Which is why John is less than thrilled when Sherlock comes across him browsing a sex toy shop. As it turns out, Sherlock is indeed able to deduce quite a bit about John's sex life based on what toys he was looking at - so Sherlock buys all the important ones. If John doesn't take that as an overture, he's dimmer than Sherlock thought.
(Part of my "John and Sherlock's Kinky First Times" series of shorts, all revolving around the same basic theme of "John and Sherlock get sexy for the first time and also discover some kinky stuff about each other.")

Summary
Helping John get off doesn't do anything for Sherlock, but he's realized it's a necessary part of their relationship - and, as a bonus, John is fantastically pliant and cuddly afterwards. He's got handjobs down to a science (literally) until John suggests that maybe they should try going a little slower. It's not as boring as it sounds.
Or, the one in which Sherlock is asexual, still dominates in bed, and decides to turn John's orgasms into an experiment.

Summary
"All this time, all his efforts, and he’d had it all backwards; Sherlock is capable of sexual arousal (even with company), but it’s the clinical touch that stimulates him rather than the sexual one."

Summary
In order to gather some data to solve a case, Sherlock buys a dildo and rides it. However, he quickly realizes the reactions he has are not representative of the general population and the stimulation method he is administrating to himself is not identical to the case at hand.
As he ponders how to proceed, a soon-to-be test dummy perfectly times his entrance.

For the Sake of Prisoners by OYhi_oh

Summary
One of the elements of Sherlock Holmes that intrigues me - both in the ACD canon and the BBC series - is how Sherlock's disappearance and return are treated as no big deal. He disappears dramatically for significant periods of time, then swans back in as if he is completely unchanged by his time away. In the case of BBC, we know that Sherlock experienced psychological and physical trauma at least once, in Serbia. No matter how rational and logical a person you are, that has an impact. And watching your best friend - someone you live with, work with, have some sort of emotional connection with - fall to his presumed his presumed death is fucking traumatic as hell and while John's grief kind of gets addressed in canon, Sherlock's trauma gets entirely ignored. I wanted to explore what recovery might look like for them. Mary is a good person here, Irene has a relatively minor role at least in the third of the story written so far.

Summary
It was evident to both Sherlock and myself from a young age that neither of us experienced love in the usual sense, nor desire. I had merely accepted it about myself, that I would always be a bachelor, living in isolation and perfectly content to do so provided I had proper occupation.
Sherlock, on the other hand, brimmed with a certain anxiety.

Summary
After the events of "The Great Game", Sherlock feels a need to touch John.
This was written years ago for a prompt for queerfest on livejournal (that long ago!), so it doesn't line up with the canon that followed series 2, but I feel like tinkering with it now will just lessen the story.
