Summary
After cracking a high-stakes case, Sherlock and John face the press for a victory lap. But the glare of cameras and relentless noise push Sherlock past his limits, sending him spiraling into sensory overload. For John, the moment becomes more than just damage control; it’s a stark reminder of Sherlock’s humanity—and a test of the tentative trust they've rebuilt since his return.
Something of a fix-it for John's daft "Aspergers?" comment in THOB.

Summary
After Sherlock ends up safe but hilariously drugged from a case gone wrong, everyone around him gets a taste of what he’s really thinking—including just how much he’s been holding back, especially from John. With his usual guard down, Sherlock’s honesty becomes both a source of amusement and a chance for buried feelings to finally come to light.
Fun, fluff, complete!

Summary
NOW COMPLETE!
John Watson has always thought himself to be quite basic: straight, white, cis British male, who will probably one day settle down with a nice woman his parents might have liked, and have a couple of kids. That's what men like him do, after all.
If he's occasionally looked in the mirror (or over at his eccentric flatmate Sherlock) and thought that something might be missing from that description, well... everyone has those thoughts sometimes... right?
Sherlock and John meet a new police officer who turns their lives upside down. When presented with people who live their lives loudly and authentically, will the detective and his blogger be able to look at themselves, and say the same?

Summary
After Mary is deported after it turns out she was never pregnant, John moves back to Baker Street. All should be well. Sherlock is solving crimes, the milk no longer tries to kill him, and John is where he is supposed to be. So why does everything still feel wrong?
A biting comment from Donovan sparks an inconvenient thought that just won't be silenced - what if he doesn't know himself as well as he should? What if a deeper understanding could make things feel right? As Sherlock stumbles through diagnosis, therapy, and the shocking realization that he might actually want to feel better, the people around him begin to notice - some sooner than others.
Complete! Chapters all posted at once. Now with beautiful cover art by wordsandpics, thank you so much!

Summary
John is very pleased with how much easier Sherlock is to live with post-wives, and babies that were not his, and lunatic sisters, and explosions. Pleased that Sherlock respects his requests and is making an obvious effort to be a better flatmate - a quieter, more reserved, more tactful flatmate, and a more polite, calmer, more controlled person in general.
John is very pleased.
Isn't he?
