Yes, John I do have a boyfriend … it’s YOU goddamn it. 😉

Ahem, thanks nonny, this is a GREAT ask. I’m sure there are many, many fics that might fit this tag, but these are the ones I could rustle up this evening. 🙂

Love at
First Sight

At First Glance by sienna, 6 k, teen. Perhaps it
isn’t the wisest choice to snog one’s prospective flat mate less than twenty
four hours after meeting him, but John has never claimed to be the most
reasonable man in London.

Mesh-Up by
s0mmerspr0ssen, 9 k, teen. AU. John runs a knitwear shop. Sherlock needs a
present for Mummy. It’s love on first sight.

It Will Always Be You by
allonsys_girl, 3 k, teen. Unilock AU. Sherlock and John meet through Mike
Stamford, but not in the canon way.

The Handler by saturn_in_retrograde, 11 k
explicit. Sherlock is injured after a mission and is resting at Mycroft’s
estate, bored out of his mind. That is, until the handsome Captain John Watson
shows up to interview for a job as a dog handler. Sherlock decides to have some
fun with a fake interview, but the Captain might ultimately have a few lessons
for Sherlock about animal behavior… An alternate universe retelling of how
Sherlock and John met.

Just Transport by kinklock, 4 k, gen. Sherlock deduces a very interesting man on the tube one day, and
starts to take public transport more often. Which is, of course, just a
coincidence.

Milking It For All It’s Worth
by
OldPing, 1 k, teen. Sherlock stops by the store to pick up a bottle of milk and
goes home with something unexpected.

Love On a Real Train by alexxphoenix42, 2 k, mature.
What if Sherlock and John’s first meeting had gone just a tiny bit differently?
(Oops, I wrote this one. 😉

A Study in Flirting by GubraithianFire, 5 k, explicit.
Unilock. Sherlock is the new librarian at the university library.  John is bad with pick-up lines.

The shape of the world around
us by Salambo06, 15 k, explicit. Looking through the bush, Sherlock felt his
heartbeat quicken as a man passed in front of him. Sherlock frowned, trying to
get a closer look despite the bush. The man was wearing a red plaid shirt
rolled up to his elbows, and Sherlock couldn’t take his eyes off the man’s
arms. Muscular, slightly tanned with golden hairs along his forearms. For some
unknown reason, Sherlock found himself imagining them around his waist, holding
him tightly.

Coup de Foudre by
prettysailorsoldier, 6 k, teen. Teenlock. While
staying at a ski lodge with friends in France, John sees Sherlock on holiday
with his family and falls in love. Though John’s French is abominable, he does
his best to woo the gorgeous boy wrapped in the blue scarf. Really cute. (Title
means “lightning stike” a term for love at first sight in French.)

alexxphoenix42:

Hey sweetie, this is a bit new to me, so I haven’t read all these fics, but they looked like good pics on AO3 – hope something here suits! 🙂

Johnlock
goes camping

Alone in the Woods by janto321 (FaceofMer), 1
k, explicit. On orders to take some time away from London, Sherlock finds out
the best part of camping.

Moonlight by ConsultingPurplePants,
2 k, explicit. Sherlock is standing near the door, wearing, for what John
thinks may be the first time in their acquaintance, jeans and a jumper. John
drags his eyes away from the way the jeans cling to Sherlock’s
just-muscled-enough legs to notice that Sherlock is wearing his own backpack,
and is also carrying a collapsed tent. John’s jaw drops open. Is he about to go
camping with Sherlock Holmes!?

Come Quietly by Elfbert, 3 k, explicit. Set in the ‘Nanny John’ Universe. John is
Nanny to a five year old Sherlock and 13 year old Mycroft. He is in a
relationship with Greg Lestrade. On a camping holiday, certain activities
are…difficult to accomplish.

The Storm by KittieHill , 2 k,
explicit. Prompt fill for this : Imagine your OTP/OT3 in a tent during a
lightning storm.

A Winter Picnic by azriona, 1.5 k, gen.
Sherlock Holmes, age twelve, wants certain things out of life. Something good
to eat is just one of them. A one-shot in the Mise Verse, but not necessary to
have read that to enjoy this.

Lad’s Weekend by nickelsandcoats, 1 k,
mature. John, Sherlock &  Lestrade go
camping. Hijinks ensue.

AdventureLand by jawnslulluby21, 39 k,

Hey nonny, I do have a few things for this ask! Enjoy!

Johnlock
Goes to Italy

 

At the seaside by
WritingQuill, 1 k, gen. After a case in Italy, the boys decide to stay at the
beautiful seaside town for one more day to enjoy a bit of a break.

Anti-Clockwise by
PoppyAlexander, 5 k, mature. Everything about Rome is a disaster, and now
Sherlock has (inadvertantly?) passed John a lockpick that fits the clasp of a
Pandora’s Box.

Venice by
DarthKawaii42, 3 k, gen. Due to a rather suspicious chain of events (which
Mycroft just may have had something to do with) the detective duo end up in
Venice, where John somehow manages to convince the great Sherlock Holmes to
join him on a gondola trip. Confessions that neither of them bargained for
follow.

If You Ask Me Why by
mydogwatson, 5 k, mature. A building explodes, a proposal is issued, although
not the one rehearsed, and Watson think Venice is a romantic city.

Attribute Nothing to Fate by
recreational, 37 k, explicit. A journey to Italy calls up old desires, but John
Watson, trapped by the social conventions of his time, is not prepared to give
in to temptation and change his life forever. It takes someone else to do that
for him. A homage to E.M. Forster’s ‘A Room with a View’.

A
River Without Banks by Chryse, 203 k, explicit. This story is
worlds within worlds. Sherlock uses a time traveling device to go back into his
past, rejoining his consciousness to that era to redo key points in his life.
Over and over, Sherlock tries to find the change that will defeat Moriarty once
and for all. This fic is amazing, it seems to encompass every Johnlock story
you’ve ever read and rolled it all in to one big connected ball.  There are warnings for rape, and torture, but
eventual happy ending. (This is an amazing fic and they do go to Italy at one
point, but there is heavy angst in this one. BEWARE.)

alexxphoenix42:

A list for another person I know traveling. Hope Niagra Falls is fun! 🙂

The Strait of Juan de Fuca by mightypog, 6 k, teen. Sherlock is back and all
seems forgiven, but something is missing between him and John. Their friendship
initially appears intact, but Sherlock doesn’t understand why John seems to be
slipping away. Finally, in terror, he tries to reconnect with John by taking
him to the one place that seems to inspire any emotional interest in John any
more: the Canadian wilderness. While there, Sherlock faces his greatest fear.

forsciencejohn, 2 k, gen. Teenlock. Sherlock is on holiday in Canada with his
cousin, Clara, who insists on going to her girlfriend Harry’s club hockey game.

Acceptable Risk by astolat, 3 k, explicit. The door wasn’t locked.
He stopped just inside and drank in the flood of data, like the first rush of a
cigarette after weeks without, or the even sweeter rush of heroin.

These Shores Are Not Like Yours by MapleleafCameo, 36 k, mature. After Mary’s
death, John flees a shadowy government agency bent on using him and his
daughter as pawns in their genetic experiments. Mycroft Holmes sends his best
Tracker after them, his brother Sherlock Holmes.

Northwest Passage by
Kryptaria, 95 k, explicit. 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.

Rim to Win by redscudery, 5 k, explicit. Sherlock thinks the
Tim Horton’s game, “Roll Up the Rim to Win”, is rigged. John is sure
it’s not. They make a bet.

genderswap Canadian high school AU. Yup.

The Resident Attachment by Maejones, 104 k, mature.  Sherlolly Historical AU with all your faves.

half-way around the world as essentially a ‘mail order bride’. However, upon
arriving in the western Canadian city of New Westminster, her intended looks
and acts nothing like the person in her letters and she fears for her life.
Deathly ill from a sickness acquired during her travels and vulnerable, Molly
accepts help from the city’s lone
Investigative Specialist for hire, Sherlock Holmes.

Cold Hands, Warm Heart by chasingriver, 51 k,
explicit.  Mystrade. Mycroft has a
country to run, and the last thing he wants to do is go on a ski holiday with
Sherlock and his parents. When he gets there, a ski instructor named Greg
changes his mind.

A Stolen Zamboni to Start
by redscudery, 1 k, gen. Canada!lock AU in which Sherlock is a figure
skater and John is a hockey player. Instead of shooting a cabbie, John steals a

Odamaki, 15 k, teen. Mystrade. Mycroft cooks, because it’s all he has and all
he’s interested in outside of his work. And then, one day, the little grocery
shop in the yard changes owners unexpectedly, and there’s a lot more on the
menu than he’d bargained for. Lyrical and lovely!

We Only Part To Meet Again by yalublyutebya, 10 k, mature.
 While John thinks Sherlock is still dead, Mycroft has him do a favor for
him, meet with a contact in Corsica. John is utterly shocked to discover the

adorable, plus beach house!

Johnlock & Road Trips

The
Road Less Traveled Epilogue: On the Road by verityburns, 5 k,

night trapped on Planet Sherlock as they circle round the M25 in a car looking
for a killer whilst listening to John and Sherlock bicker.

On a Dark Desert Highway… by
Ragazza_Guasto, 14 k, explicit. What if instead of starting a blog, Ella had advised John to
take a trip? What if at the same time Sherlock was tracing a drug cartel along

didn’t mind seeing that gorgeous bloke every so often, because damn…

Some
Dance to Forget by astudyinrose, 7 k, explicit.  Sherlock and John are on the run from an
American drug cartel, and they stop in a motel in the Arizona desert for the

Let’s Go Get Lost by
alexysmichele, 3 k, teen. Sherlock is bored. Lestrade is on holiday. John can’t take

research trip to Hawaii to investigate some rare plants for a case. Oddly

physical relationship. Adorable and sweet. Virgin!lock.

Forces of Nature by Ewebie, 18 k words, explicit,
unilock. Sherlock decides to take some time off during summer break to relax in

Part of the “Dawn Before the Rest of the World” series. Adorable.
