Summary: Sherlock returns to a different John. Or rather, it's not John at all.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.
Author's Note: Warnings for non/dub-con & a rather dark fic. My new style of fanfiction writing seems to be "vomit up whatever words you can think of and refuse to edit it before posting."

Summary: How do you keep your omega safe when the biggest threat is yourself?
Omegaverse, Ragnarok Online fusion--though it's not necessary to have any knowledge of Ragnarok to read.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.
Author's Note: Hello and welcome to the most idfic of idfic. If you are looking for something of actual literary merit, I suggest one of the many other brilliant works in this fandom!
If you do not know what omegaverse is, I strongly suggest reading this primer first so you aren't in for any disturbing surprises. Please heed the warnings--the dubcon in here verges on noncon.
No prior knowledge of Ragnarok Online is needed to read this fic. You just know that it's an massive multiplayer online roleplaying game (like World of Warcraft but lamer) that I played in my teens and subsequently became nerdy enough to write 40k worth of fusion fanfiction about. Here are some helpful links for the uninitiated: these are the job classes with some of the major characters highlighted in red (if you played RO a while ago you'll notice that there's a new transcendent class), pecos are total rip offs of chocobos though they also rode gryphons, and here's the world map made by some private server that I based my locations off of.
This fic was initially written for Melody because she wanted pining John but then I bastardized it with omegaverse on Julia's insistence so now it's for both of them?? I'll have to write non-A/B/O pining John later. As always, I really wouldn't be able to get past the 3k mark without Julia's support so I am eternally grateful for her patience. ♥

Summary: Sherlock is John's guardian angel. Or at least he was.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.
Author's Note: This fic was written for Melody in response to a picture and set of tags that she reblogged. ♥ It has not undergone any external editing since it's not very long.

Summary: The thing is: Sherlock thought that the two of them would have forever to figure it out.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.
Author's Note: This fic is written as a birthday present for awesome, who is one of the most fantastic people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. ♥ And when I was like, "what are the tropes you enjoy?" the answer involved angst and pining and really just all of the angst in the world, which made me realize that we were OBVIOUSLY MEANT TO BE because that's all I'm really capable of writing. And as always, I am forever grateful to anonbegone for being the best beta/britpick to ever exist. ♥

Summary: There's a reason why Sherlock and John are no longer welcome at any SIS functions.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.
Author's Note: Follows a few months from the epilogue of hurry home which is in the us against universe. This is definitely not my usual style because it's REALLY FLUFFY?? Also I'm pretty sure I'm too incompetent to even breathe in this fandom without Julia continuously encouraging me to inflict myself on everyone's eyeballs so blame and/or thank her for this fic. HAPPY HOLIDAYS GUYS. ♥

( John drops an elaborate looking piece of paper onto Sherlock’s chest as he passes by Sherlock’s chair on the way to the kitchen. )

Summary: He thinks maybe he should change his name because this is a life he cannot have any more. Teenage!AU
Warnings: child abuse/neglect, mention of suicidal thoughts
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.
Author's Note: Written with this prompt in mind. I. This fic. I'm not sure where it came from. But credit where credit is due: inspired by elements in Curse of the Starving Class which a friend and I saw on a whim. And I seriously don't know where I would be without anonbegone who betaed/britpicked this fic and is eternally patient with my neuroticism. ♥ Any remaining mistakes are entirely my own fault.

Author's Note: Based off of this prompt from the kinkmeme. Saw it, thought it could be a brief fun exercise in magical realism to encourage myself to write again--AND THEN. AT 1AM, IN THREE HOURS, I VOMITED THIS FIC. WHAT DID I JUST WRITE? And as always, my eternal gratitude to the utterly fantastic anonbegone for assuring me that this wasn't too ridiculous to be posted. IDK WHERE I WOULD BE IN THIS FANDOM WITHOUT HER. ♥ ♥

Summary: At Baskerville, John is infected by a virus that turns him into a genius. But when the infection progresses into neurodegeneration, it's a race against time to save himself. Flowers for Algernon fusion.

Author's Note: So if I were to title this fic truthfully, it would be called "SCIENCE!!" And if I were to summarize this fic truthfully, it would be "In which I proceed to be completely self-indulgent with science! Also, SCIENCE." I would like to point out that I only really have an adequate knowledge of immunology, so not at all an expert in neurology. I am forever indebted to the fantastic anonbegone for her beta/britpick/putting up with me. ♥ Any remaining mistakes are entirely my own fault.

Characters/Pairing: John/Sherlock
Summary: When Mary dies, John finds himself in financial trouble without a home for himself and his young son. There's not much choice except to turn to his ex, Sherlock Holmes.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.
Author's Note: I was intending this fic to be a quick 2k words...and you know how that goes. A hundred million thanks to the amazing Lulu for being the best and quickest britpicker ever. She fixed up this fic and made it infinitely better. ♥ ♥ Any remaining mistakes are entirely my own fault.
Kinkmeme prompt: John and Mary have a son, Hamish, then Mary gets ill and dies. John, who wasn't previously on speaking terms with Sherlock, moves back to Baker Street with Hamish in tow because he can't afford anywhere else on his own. Sherlock is surprisingly wonderful with the kid, and supportive of John (in his own, asshole-ish way). Reconciliation, and formation of a makeshift family unit once more in 221B, please?
Burn Down is intended to be set in the same universe and to provide background on why John and Sherlock fell out of touch, but the two can be read separately.
