Summary
John Watson always thought he was an beta, a normal human, until he got shot. After being discharged by the army and sent back home, he goes about his life until he meets the world's only consulting detective. Then life takes very unexpected turns.
Sherlock Holmes, on the other hand, is debating just how much he's going to curse out his brother for putting the ex-soldier in his path.
(This does follow the series with the AUness happening before, during, and after series and episodes. I will not be using season 3, save for the fall explanation.)

Summary
Most of his fellow soldiers keep pictures of their girls beneath their pillows.
John Watson keeps a picture of Sherlock Holmes, a man he's met only once but who has changed his life completely.
John Watson, a military doctor, meets Sherlock Holmes the night before he's shipped out to Africa with his regiment.
Sparks fly immediately for the two, and neither wants the night to end; but, sadly, it does, and John boards the boat the next morning with a heavy heart and dreams of what could have been.
For months, they are apart, neither knowing if the other even remembers them, much less feels the same way- until the fateful day when John takes a bullet and everything changes.-

Summary
“This was like nothing John had ever thought to associate with Sherlock: stubble, skin-tight jeans and three small silver rings gleaming at the crest of one ear. It was unbelievable, like stepping into an alternative universe, and John couldn't stop staring.”
When Sherlock infiltrates a club in order to track down a serial killer, his altered appearance is enough to make John question his assumption that Sherlock is beyond his reach. However, is he the only one who appreciates his flatmate's charms, or is Sherlock at risk of becoming the next victim? (Warning: reviews may contain fic spoilers)

Summary
John paused on the landing, listening to the conversation in the kitchen. He never felt guilty about this kind of eavesdropping, treasuring the little moments between Sherlock and Rosie he happened to witness unnoticed.
Sherlock’s voice, soft and calm: “Alright, Petal, let’s get those safety goggles on.”
“Safety gobbles on,” Rosie affirmed cheerfully.
Ah. An experiment, then.

Summary
Sherlock does his best to make John happy when John comes back to 221B with his new baby after the events of Season 3, but Sherlock has a track record of getting things wrong in this area. This story is an exploration of their gradual shift from friends to lovers, told from Sherlock's perspective, full of a lot of pining and lack of emotional awareness. (But don't worry; I love a happy ending.)

Summary
They stood face to face in the middle of a clearing. The dim light of the moon barely allowed Sherlock to see the glassy terror in John’s eyes and the sweat that glistened off his forehead. His nose was bleeding again, blood dripping in a slow stream from his right nostril.
They were both gasping for air, John’s eyes locked on Sherlock’s. There was no recognition there, just wild animal fear.
Time stood still for an eternal few seconds, and Sherlock took a shaky breath. “John—”
Spell broken, John spun and bolted back into the woods.
Still heaving for air, Sherlock took off after him.
