Summary
"He can hear John’s giggle before it comes, the way you can smell rain in the air before an oncoming storm, and before long John's laughing, honest to god guffawing, as if Sherlock has just said the funniest thing on Earth. And oh god if only Sherlock could do that every time he said something, if only he could bring John joy with every single one of his actions instead of sadness and disappointment because seeing John happy like this is one of the best things on Earth."
Sherlock has just been discharged from hospital, not knowing what to expect or what he'll be coming home to. He's convinced himself that he should never see John again for John's well being, believing himself to be a hindrance to him. But when John shows up unexpectedly to 221B in the middle of the day hoping for a place to stay, things take a different turn, forcing them both to confront their past and their future.
Takes place during and after Season 3.

Summary
Sherlock begins stirring, but John places a hand in the middle of his back.
“Be still. Just--” John’s mouth waters a little at the sight of the whitish fluid and he clears his throat, “Hold on.”
Sherlock looks over his shoulder and meets John’s eyes in momentary bafflement before something like recognition rolls across his features. The familiar blend of smugness and deduction, and he snuffles down against a pillow.

The Waning of Withdrawal by LoloLolly
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms
04 Dec 2022
Tags
Summary
Sherlock holds a weeping John in his arms and… does something that will forever change things between them. For better or worse. He fears the latter.
Excerpt:
“Sherlock. Look at me. What was that, hm?” John’s jaw was shifting, cheeks hollowed. “Why did you do that?”Sherlock cleared his throat. His whole body was trembling. He stood up straight, trying to disguise the slight struggle this caused him with his balance (shaking his head to dispel the dizziness), and walked briskly past John. “I apologize,” he said, voice quieter than he intended. “I was quite unaware of myself. I am still in an affected state. You’re only here to mind me, after all. You know I am a recovering addict. It shall never happen again.”

Summary
Written for this promt on the kinkmeme: "After Mary's death, John moves back into Baker Street, but is still upset at the loss of his wife and child. Eventually, he and Sherlock stumble into a sort of relationship, but it's more physical than anything and they don't talk about it.
They especially don't talk during sex.
If they are going to have sex, Sherlock notices the signs hours beforehand, and he prepares carefully. The lights are off, they're under the covers, he prepares himself using lots of lube so he can make it feel as much like a woman as he can, and he doesn't let himself make any noise so that, if John wishes, he can pretend that he's still with Mary."
