I doubt there would be any; and I say that because in the canon he was ignorant of Sherlock faking his own death and I think it's been taken as given that will be the case in the modernisation. It would be interesting to see someone write it differently; I just don't think it would be particularly believable or in-character for Sherlock to have included John in his plans.

Yes, please, Smoggy, please do that! I´d love to read it! 

I also read two quite good stories where in one case John just waits (knowingly) for Sherlock, while he joins him in the other version to fight Moriarty's web.. BAMF and all.

.. am currently re-sorting fan fiction and yes, I will try to find time and dig them out again.

for some strange reason I am coming across rather disturbing writings recently including slash - weird parings - and even brother incest. Interesting that some people have the need to play such fantasies out!

Well, I did it!

I sat down and wrote my own John-knew-it-all story. It´s not complete yet, but the first part of it can stand alone, so I boldly published it on fanfiction.net.

I´m very grateful for Smoggy_London_Air´s help with the language. Thank you so much for reading and commenting it! 

If anyone´s interested, here´s the link:

It´s the first time I´ve published something, and I still feel very heroic about taking that step at all. But honest reviews are, of course, highly appreciated!

It just wandered onto my reading list, Schmiezi. Looking forward to reading it. 

Nice job Schmiezi!  Even though the "John knows all" concept is against canon, it has always been a thought of mine that the Moftiss might make it the twist for Series 3 that John was in on it from the begining and played his part to a 'T' - probably because of those hidden cameras everywhere.  Personally, I don't want it to be that way - I'm looking for all the emotion I can get from the next series, and my take is that Sherlock couldn't trust John to be a good enough actor to handle his part, so he had to do what he did for realism.  But when you think about it, John is about as trustworthy as anyone can get so maybe, just maybe....he was in on it. Well, another year or so and we'll know for sure. Anyway, great job on the story and please keep on writing!  Right now, good fan fiction and this Forum are what's helping me through this interminable wait.

Now I've finally had the time to read the first part of your story. It's great, well-written and it is an interesting twist with John knowing everything and trying to trick everybody. I wonder what he'll do next.
