Warning: series 3 content - spoilers

Here is a nice short one - what would have happened if Sherlock and John had not been disturbed by the client during their drunk conversation:

did anyone come across any other good series 3 related fanfics? (johnlock or other)

AO3 seems to be down/sluggish this morning, but I read this fic yesterday which was absolutely beautiful. It's post The Sign of Three, but Pre His Last Vow. It's Johnlockary, but the beginning and nothing explicit. And it's written in such a beautiful way. I absolutely loved it.

Sequelae
The truth is, Sherlock’s coming apart at the seams. He needs—he needs, but they can’t all dance.

The truth is, they need just as much, just as desperately. The truth is, he hides far too well, and they’re clever, they are, but they’re blind: they’re not him.

And the truth is: John and Mary don’t see until it may be too damned late

ETA: Also, for Season 3 fics, check out SherlockBBCFicRecs Tumblr post here: http://sherlockbbcficrecs.tumblr.com/post/73383090584/sherlock-series-3-fic-recs-teh-tsot-and-hlv

thank you very much! I'll check these out!

I also found two funny texts which are supposed to be metas but which certainly have a fanfic quality (and a very good one):

Sherlock's view on his relationship to John throughout the episodes:

And John's POV:

A very sweet one about the waltzing lesson that must have taken place when we weren't looking:

Started reading it on a lunch break at work but had to stop as there are no cold showers in the building.

SusiGo · January 18, 2014 10:15 pm

Quite a risk to read that in a public building.

tonnaree · January 18, 2014 11:27 pm

I almost set of the sprinkler system Susi!

Wholocked · January 21, 2014 5:42 am

This one is rather hot and features jealous and possessive Sherlock

This here is not really Johnlock but they are in the centre of the story so I put it here. A HLV fic I really like:

Finished reading A Cure for Boredom. That's going in the keeper file!

I recently discovered that some fics have some kind of "add ons" or "bonus material" (actually this is a huge understatement) which I'd like to share with you.

First a fic that I already rec'd here recently:A Finger Slip by Pawtal (http://archiveofourown.org/works/601000/chapters/1083777) which solely consists of text messages (and phone calls) and where John accidently wrote a text message to a wrong number- to Sherlock! Obviously it is AU but it is so great, it already made it to the top of my favourite fanfics list.
There is a kind of complementary fic to this one whose author, Katzedezimal, works closely together with Pawtal: A Slip of the Finger (http://archiveofourown.org/works/667835/chapters/1219753). This fic is written as conventional prose and fills out the gaps that are left by A Finger Slip (because of the texting format, many things have only been hinted at). It is a great read, too!

This fic now also got it's own kickstarter campaign aiming to produce a mini web series based on it. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1879289266/a-finger-slip-web-series

Wonderful. Thanks for posting!

SusiGo · January 24, 2014 8:12 am

That was beautiful.

"What if John and Sherlock hadn't been interrupted and the drunken Rizla game had continued?"

emmagrant tells us in this both very erotic and emotional fanfic. Highly recommendable!
