Summary
John’s cursor flashed at him, motionless and reprimanding. He should finish writing up that case, John thought absently, but he found himself completely ignoring this sound advice and creating a new post instead.
Then- don’t ask him how or why or any bloody question because John really had no clue- he started writing.
Dear Sherlock
***
John Watson- divorced at 37, recently moved back home, tentatively in love with his best friend- has had a lot to deal with recently. Finding his way back to his old life isn't simple, not even when Sherlock makes it as natural as breathing. He figures, if writing silly love notes takes a little off his shoulders, what could be the harm? It's not like Sherlock would ever know.
(Sherlock must not know, dear god- not when it could mess up everything John worked so hard to come back to.)
In between dangerous new cases, ridiculous new pets, injuries and broken hearts, Sherlock and John slowly find their way to where they belong. And perhaps that is- and always was- together.

When a novel virus brings London to a standstill, Sherlock and John find themselves confined to their flat, cut off from the world. As the days stretch on, John wrestles with feelings of uselessness, while Sherlock distracts himself with odd experiments, including one he’s unwilling to share with John.
In the intimacy of quarantine, John’s long-smouldering attraction deepens as he and Sherlock find ways to pass the time. When John inadvertently interrupts Sherlock’s secret experiment, he is surprised to find just how human his flatmate is. A vulnerable moment and a brave question change their lives forever.

Summary
He wasn’t sure how long it took before he let himself sink into a nearby chair, close enough to touch Sherlock. He didn’t, of course. To place his hand on Sherlock’s seemed impossible at the moment.
And then he realised.
He’d break apart if he let his hand slide into Sherlock’s, to feel a warmth that he thought he would never feel again.
John visits Sherlock in hospital after the shot. His visit unexpectedly reveals more about their relationship than he could ever imagine.

Summary
After the Reichenbach fall John Watson fell into a severe depression, unable to cope with the loss of the man he never had the courage to admit he loved. He was a doctor, he knew everything about what happens to the human mind after the death of someone dear. He knew all there's is to know about grief. However, after his best friend killed himself his whole world started to fall apart. And so he prayed, he prayed that his Amygdala forgot all those bad memories, although he knew it wasn't scientifically possible.
What he didn't expect was Sherlock Holmes, very much alive right in front of him. His Amygdala took action.
Oh please, Amygdala, save me.

Summary
Шэрлак ведае, што ён мае на ўвазе. Ён даўно засвоіў правілы гэтай гульні. Прыблізна паўгады назад Шэрлак паляцеў наўздагон падазраванаму, нават не думаючы, што можа пацярпець, а то і наогул памерці. У той вечар Джон адлупцаваў яго да чырвоных плямаў на парцалянавай скуры на ягадзіцах, і Шэрлак яшчэ ніколі не адчуваў сябе такім заземленым і спакойным, у чым і прызнаўся Джону. З тых часоў яны часта праварочвалі такі фокус, каб супакоіць Шэрлака і трохі спусціць яго з нябёсаў на зямлю.

Sherlock Holmes and The Case of Rheumatism by TheImprobableOne42
Fandoms: Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms, Sherlock Holmes (1984 TV)

Summary
As part of the preface to His Last Bow, Watson wrote: “The friends of Mr. Sherlock Holmes will be glad to learn that he is still alive and well, though somewhat crippled by occasional attacks of rheumatism. He has, for many years, lived in a small farm upon the Downs five miles from Eastbourne, where his time is divided between philosophy and agriculture. During this period of rest he has refused the most princely offers to take up various cases, having determined that his retirement was a permanent one.”
What he did not write was that Watson himself also lived in this small cottage with Holmes, and when these occasional attacks of rheumatism occurred he was always there to help his lover through the pain.
This is the story of one such instance.
