    Summary

    Years after an odd, gruesome, and highly publicised breakdown ruined his career, a disgraced candymaker has abruptly reopened his factory. His motives are shrouded in mystery, something that only serves to inflame the curious public. To celebrate his triumphant return, he launches a contest: five golden tickets hidden at random in chocolate bars distributed throughout London. The lucky recipients of those tickets are promised an experience they will never forget.

    And so, on one cold morning in January, five winners gather to claim their prize. John Watson is among them.

    Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory AU!

    Summary

    "You never asked me to make him love you back. That's always one of the first things that someone asks me, you know. 'Make him fall in love.' 'Make her love me.' 'Make him return my feelings.' 'Make him want me.' Blah, blah, blah, on and on and on. But you didn't do that. Neither did he."

    This is a story of seven wishes.

    One wasted wish, five wishes that changed the world, and one wish that changed nothing at all.

    Summary

    New job, new truck, new fiancée... John Watson, former storm chaser, has settled into a comfortable new life.

    There's only one problem: John's already married. And the the divorce papers he's been sending to his former partner, Sherlock Holmes, keep going missing. So with his fiancée Mary by his side, John reluctantly makes a trip to see him in the hopes of finalizing their divorce once and for all.

    But John arrives in the midst of a very active storm season, and Sherlock very clearly hasn’t let go of the past. Against his better judgement, John finds himself talked into riding along after one last storm.

    Twister AU!

    Summary

    John doesn't know Sherlock. Sherlock doesn't know John. The universe is not so easily dissuaded.

    Or, five times Sherlock interrupted John's plans, and one time John interrupted his.

    Summary

    It is not working. Whatever John was hoping to accomplish over these past six months, whatever he was hoping to prove by selling the little house he'd shared with Mary and returning to build a home out of the rubble of Baker Street has not come to pass. He is a welcome presence, but he is miserable.

     

    As their personal and professional relationship slowly unravels under an intangible strain, a case forces Sherlock and John to spend the night inside the London Aquarium.

    Summary

    Summary

    In the aftermath of the Culverton Smith case, John spent one painfully stilted afternoon hanging out with Sherlock. He counted the minutes, finished his tea, and left for home without ever clearing the air between them.

    And once he'd left, he found it very hard to go back.

    Summary

    Exactly one year and four days after Sherlock Holmes flung himself from the top of Barts Hospital, John Watson buys himself a bottle of good scotch and a train ticket. The train ticket is an impulse, the scotch is not.

    Summary

    Green.

    The word green was used to convey a great many things. Illness. Envy. Inexperience.

    Standing there amidst Janine's chattering bridesmaids, watching Sherlock furrow his brow and study fabric swatches, watching him smile and simper and flirt, John thought it a remarkably apt colour choice. Because he felt quite sick to his stomach, he feared the source of said sickness might very well be jealousy, and he had absolutely no idea at all what to do about it.

    Or: Sherlock needs to fake a relationship for a case. He doesn't ask John.

    Summary

    Last year, Sherlock Holmes showed up at the Landmark with a fake moustache and a bad French accent and threw John's entire life into disarray with two words:

    "Not dead."

    This year, there are more surprises in store.

    Summary

    "So it was all a game, then?" she asked. She could not look away from the television. Anger was starting to seep in, starting to push away that numb shock. "Play dead for two years and then—what? Shout surprise! and jump out of a cake?"
