Hey sweetie, oh there are SO many with flirting. I picked out a few, but I gotta say I think my whole “Coffeeshop AU” list counts. I will post that again too. 😉

Flirting

Unilock. Sherlock is the new librarian at the university library.  John is bad with pick-up lines.

Sherlock, Sugar Daddy John, and The
No Good Very Bad Charity Function by Sexxica, 6 k, explicit. Former street kid/rentboy
Sherlock accompanies his Daddy to a charity function. Things, to say the very
least, do not go well at all, and Sherlock’s trashy behaviour earns him a
devastating punishment.

Reading
Subtext by Englandwouldfall, 34 k, teen. Five times Sherlock
tried to tell John he was interested… and one time the message was actually
delivered.

The Adventure of the Consulting
Corpse
by
apliddell, 10 k, not rated. Post Reichenbach, pre Empty House. Sherlock finds
he can’t do without his blogger.

isn’t sure if John’s flirting or just an exceedingly inept typist.

Wait, What? What
Romantic Relationship? by

relationship. John tries to educate Sherlock on what that actually means.
(Locked to AO3 users.)

Little
Notes by dreadpiratewatson, 3 k, teen, Unilock. When the
first note comes, Sherlock expects it to be unpleasant. Something rude, most
likely someone complaining about the chemical smell from the broken beaker on
the carpet accident, or, even more likely than that, someone complaining about
his excessive violin playing at three in the morning when he can’t sleep, or
he’s just bored. It’s a request to play some Bach.

The Effect of Memory
by
testosterone_tea, 6 k, explicit. John has temporary amnesia coming off of
anaesthesia after an operation and not only does he not recognize Sherlock, he
starts flirting with him! After John recovers, he doesn’t remember the incident
at all. But Sherlock does. Confusion ensues.

Morphine, the
Matchmaker by TheMadKatter13, 2 k, mature. John might be in the hospital, but if there’s a gorgeous
nurse sitting at his bedside when he wakes up, he’s going to chat him up.

A Brand of Gold
by aquabelacqua, 12 k, mature. Stuck in a b & b by himself at a conference
in Scotland, John finds himself texting Sherlock to check in, and the nighttime
conversation leads to some interesting places. Is it possible that John is flirting
with Sherlock Holmes? Drunk flirting and phone sex – YES!

The Friendly Sky by Ejella, 11 k, mature. Sherlock
and John do not meet at Barts. Instead, they meet on a plane. John is uncertain
of his possibly crazy seatmate; Sherlock is intrigued and has plans for the
good doctor.

On the Subject of the
Haggis by
mydwynter, 3 k, teen. Sherlock has
planned a Robert Burns night supper, complete with haggis for John’s pleasure. John
hates haggis.

Captains of Industry by 221b_hound, 37 k, mature. Captains
of Industry is the most hipster of Melbourne hipster cafes. It’s bespoke suits,
artisan shoes, sculpted facial hair and the most exquisite food and coffee all
the way. Sherlock Holmes, Digital Security Consultant, has become a regular
patron. And one day, perhaps one day soon, he will work out how to successfully
flirt with the hot barista, John Watson.

Totus Mundus Agit
Histrionem by mistyzeo,
42 k, explicit. January, 1881: a despondent army doctor is offered a ticket to

Shape by

time he didn’t…

Jerk by AtlinMerrick, 3 k,
explicit. Sherlock is drunk. John is not. Regent’s Park is empty. And it’s a
Tuesday. “So are you going to wank for me John Hamish Watson-Holmes?”
The man so named thought about the answer briefly, then replied. “Yes, my
espoused, I do believe I am.”

Nail Me by AtlinMerrick, 5 k,
explicit. A story wherein we borrow one infinitely charming characteristic of
Benedict Cumberbatch, and give it to Sherlock, while at the same time
eventually finding a reason to get on with some sex by way of two manicures and
maybe a pedicure.

Hay Fever by avawtsn, 5 k, teen. In
which Sherlock Holmes gets hay fever, gets a lisp, gets quiet, gets John
Watson, and gets the giggles.

A Fever Dream by Sexxica, 8 k,explicit.
When Sherlock slips a new compound into John’s morning cuppa, he thinks he has
everything under control. Of course this isn’t the case, and soon both John and
Sherlock are under the influence of something with some very interesting side
effects.

Antics of Anesthetics by LollipopCop, 2 k,
teen. Sherlock gets his wisdom teeth removed and is totally drugged-out. John
takes care of him. Could be read as stand-alone.

Trick or Tights by Sexxica, 1.4 k,

Halloween party. The boys don’t even make it out of the flat.

Take Good Care by HideInPlainSight

boy Locky. Daddy!Kink/Age-play. Characters are ADULTS engaged in sexual

ageplay on it already.

“You Idiot.” by 9240Lena, 5 k,
explicit. Sherlock accidentally smashes his experiment and John thinks he hurt
himself. Sherlock didn’t, but well enough to put on a little show for John.
John is a little slow with the uptake. But Sherlock is VERY visually persuasive.

alexxphoenix42:

hey friend, I had someone ask for something really similar lately …

John is sweet and clueless

Lov tobakko ash by pjordha, 17 k,
teen. Fusion with Bridget Jones’s Diary. Crack. This is so funny! John is lured
into a relationship with an old school chum of Sherlock’s Sebastian Wilkes.
Sherlock is not happy. Situations and hijinks ensue.

Morphine, the Matchmaker by TheMadKatter13,
2 k, mature. John might be in hospital, but if there’s a gorgeous nurse sitting
at his bedside when he wakes up, he’s going to chat him up. Amnesia, fluff.

Let You Kiss Me (So Sweet and So Soft)
by out_there, 8 k, gen. John tries to figure out what experiment has Sherlock
kissing him at intervals over the week. John calls Mycroft to see if Sherlock
is doing this to bug him. They have an entire conversation where John says
nothing. Sherlock sulks loudly and reads aggressively. Sweet  fluff, & humor.

It Had to Be You by esplanade, 9 k,
teen. This is a wonderful Johnlock fusion with the movie “When Harry Met
Sally.” So cute. All the fluff!

Five Times Sherlock gave John a Pebble and
One Time John Returned the Gesture by grimmfairy, 1.8 k, not rated.
Adorable bit of fluff. Sherlock courts John, but does it subtly, leaving him
pebbles as penguins do. Eventually John catches on. SO CUTE.

20 Romantic Rituals From Around The World

has a new experiement – trying out twenty romantic rituals from around the
world with John to see if they feel any differently. So very sweet!

The Secret Identity of John Watson
by scifigrl47, 27 k, gen. This pre-relationship gen fic manages to be adorable.
When John starts dating Samantha, the bizarre situations they keep finding
themselves in has Sam and her friends betting on whether John is in the mob, a
spy, or who knows what.  Bonus Sherlock
as secret stalker is adorable.

Love Notes: Tinned Beans by
aquabelacqua, 1.5 k, teen. John has spilled the beans on his feelings for
Sherlock, then hurried out to do the shopping afraid to see what Sherlock’s
response will be. ADORABLE!

Unguarded by 221b_hound,
3 k, mature. John is injured during his hospital shift. High on painkillers, he
babbles a lot on the way home, and at home, all the pet names he has for
Sherlock. Donovan and Lestrade think it’s embarrassing, and hilarious – and
ultimately, something kind of precious. (Part of the Unkissed series.)

alexxphoenix42:

Hey friend, I am going to call 221b_hound the queen of nicknames in the Sherlock fandom.

The Gladstone Variations by
221b_hound, 17 k, explicit. AU where the two still solve crimes, but also play
in a band. John composes and plays guitar. Romance, sex. 

Unkissed series by 221b_hound. A collection of stories that all begin with
“un.” Even though there’s no sex, John knows they are a couple. It takes
Sherlock a bit longer to catch up. Sherlock is asexual or demisexual here, but
John is everything he never knew he wanted. Gradually the two of them grow
closer, and explore the boundaries of what physical touch Sherlock can handle.
Sweet and slow, and lots of fluff.

A Little Light Reading by 221b_hound, 3 k, explicit. John and Sherlock are
reading two books for research. These books are too appalling to read while
sober. They also end up too appalling to live. Too much tequila, a mental
health conflagration, drunk sex and the several names for John’s penis.

alexxphoenix42:

Oh nonny, it wasn’t even hard putting this one together. 😉

PHONE SEX
& TEXTING

Bless
Your Filthy Little Mouth by taylorpotato 2 k,
explicit. A bored Sherlock Holmes can mean a lot of things. Bullet holes in the
wall. Fires. A frantic search for cigarettes. But this time, apparently, it
means John’s going to get a lot of dirty phone calls. (Locked to AO3 users.)

Idle hands by kinklock, 7
k, explicit, deaflock. While working as a video sign language interpreter for
the deaf, John’s last client of the day asks him to interpret a highly unusual
call. (aka deaf Sherlock wants to call a phone sex hotline AU.) Hot and sweet. Thumbs
up!

Without You I Would Be Utterly
Bored
by lookupkate, 21 k , explicit. John is a struggling med student working a
phone sex line to get by when one client utterly catches his attention. A
little bit of “Pretty Woman” johnlock style, John as a rent boy, and Sherlock
as a sugar daddy. Things of course work out beautifully after some
misunderstandings along the way. Sweet and sexy.

therapist’s advice and tries to meet people online. Specifically, he joins a

Scotland for a month. Texting Sherlock leads to revelations leads to phone sex
while they are apart.

Against
the Wall by
odamaki, 6 k, mature. John must go away for a week-long work conference in
Edinburgh, and Sherlock is not happy at his absence to say the least. This is

yet it’s still sweet and very romantic in a grumpy, off-kilter sort of way.

Coffee Or
Something
by lookupkate, 12 k, explicit. John joins a website meant for ex military

I Prefer to Text by ellie_hell, 8 k, teen. Though John
and Sherlock seem to be as they always were, at night they fall into the habit
of texting each other before bed, and a much more intimate relationship begins
to unfold between them. Sweet.

The Real Meaning of
Idioms
by feverishsea, 21 k,
teen. After two weeks away, John finally texts Sherlock. He doesn’t expect
Sherlock to respond. He doesn’t expect Sherlock to keep texting him. And he
really doesn’t expect things to spiral out of control so rapidly.

The Importance of Eating Meals by skyremains, 4
k, teen. John makes Sherlock text him what he is eating to prove he isn’t
skipping all meals. Sherlock says he’ll only do it if John text him HIS meals.
Funny and sweet.  Some smut ensues.

Tease You Till You Come by phoenix089, 6 k, explicit. Initially, Sherlock was rather put out

several of them, of an unexpected nature. The case is forgotten rather quickly

Oh, Holy Night by sussexbound
(SamanthaLenore), 5 k, explicit. Sherlock manoeuvres them towards the bedroom
and then lowers John carefully onto the bed. “Take off your shirt and trousers.

Sherlock
& Sex Tape

 

Lament for the
Lubricious by Charname, 3 k, explicit. When a blackmailer outs Sherlock and John
by leaking their homemade porn, Anderson watches the video for a laugh. He
wants to see exactly what it is that’s made them too ashamed to show their

bad at it. He watches to see something he can reference to finally shut the
bastard up the next time Sherlock tries to embarrass him.

Playback
by
scullyseviltwin, 6 k, explicit. “You want me, all to yourself.” Sherlock leaned

together. Sweet and sexy.

Small Screen Valentino by DancingGrimm,
43 k, explicit. An amature sex video
that John and a girlfriend make gets splashed over the internet when they break
up, and she wants revenge. Sherlock agrees not to watch the video, but the
harassment for John is terrible as EVERYONE sees the video. Sherlock wants to
help …  and some watching happens.

Forget the Cream Filling! by taylorpotato, 3 k,
explicit. (Locked to AO3.) John is just minding his own business, searching for
naughty videos on the internet. Then he sees a pop-up ad for a police-uniform

mate Sherlock Holmes. He watches the video. You can imagine how that goes.

Photographic Evidence by Itsallfine, 4 k, explicit.

hide the marks Sherlock leaves behind.

A Sense of Propriety by
