I'm going to rec the sins of our fathers series of fics. It's a teenage AU where John & Sherlock meet at the age of 15/16 rather than as adults. Many teen!lock fics are challenging to read as they are either painfully teenage-angsty or the characterisations are so off the wall. I think this one actually did a really good job. 

The first two stories are whilst Sherlock & John are teenagers, and the third and fourth story focuses on things when they're a bit older - I won't tell you what that is as it's a bit of a spoiler

Thanks for the rec Wholocked.  I enjoyed these very much.

Re: Johnlock Fic Recs *warning - adult content*

Adventures of a Single Girl in London is complete! SQUEEEEEEE

It's an eventual-Johnlock post-season-three fix-it-fic (yeah lots of hyphens sorry) and it's PERFECT. I dislike S3 John much less having read it. Yes, there's lots of Janine but she's awesome and the story is awesome and the payoff is perfect.

Go read it! *points*

Re: Johnlock Fic Recs *warning - adult content*

Love_bug 54, who posts here ocassionally, has a series of fic's called Watson's Journal. She has done research into the era and has a mini-series where our boys are observing the Oscar Wilde trials.

When a letter, written by Wilde to his supposed lover, is read in court, a big deal is made of the fact that he opens it with "My dear boy." They think that sounds like a greeting to a lover. Well, Holmes calls Watson "my dear boy" in canon Sign of Four.

Love-bug also refers, in her comments, to having read the era's....er, literary work that is not so prudish, if you know what I mean.

Does anyone remember something called Tokens and Traditions - a multi-chapter novel about Holmes and Watson's romance, with the recurring theme of them giving each other gifts (including a bed!)

I think their conversations with each other made them sound like completely different people...but that could just mean Watson did his job well in writing public stories that covered up their true private life.

I think TandT may have been taken down. But on another rec list, the story/novel was described as "The Pearl starring Holmes and Watson." Now, the Pearl was a magazine published in that era that was....well, Johnlock with different characters, if you get my drift.  Defying many stereotypes about the era.

Another good list. http://excessant.com/HI/latest_additions.htm

In one of the stories here, "Horseplay," I believe, it is alluded to the Watson reads The Pearl.

From this list, I particularly enjoy "Night Interrupted," about Watson getting off on just sleeping in Holmes bed...and what happens when Holmes finds out. Another thing I love, Holmes telling Watson how desirable he is, happens in both "Night Interrupted" and the later Love-bug stories.

And if you can't decide whether you like "established" or UST, here is a story that has both: after some banter about which of them is more insatiable, they decide to test their ability to resist each other, and constantly do things to break each other's resistance.

(Note - all of the above are based on the original canon except a few of Love-bug's more recent fics.)

Here's a great new TeenLock.  Lots of angst and hurt/comfort.  Rated E for a good reason!

Re: Johnlock Fic Recs *warning - adult content*

I'd like to recommend this one by apliddell, hoping I didn't oversee it on the masterlist:

http://archiveofourown.org/works/691284/chapters/1270251

It's getting the reader hooked very quickly even though (or maybe precisely because) some of the chapters are rather short. Ta!

Re: Johnlock Fic Recs *warning - adult content*

You must read this: https://m.fanfiction.net/s/10100172/1/

It is a fantastic story! Definitively one of the best fan fictions I ever read! It has all elements a good story needs: a thrilling story with a lot of tension and surprises, very well written characters (the known ones as well as the OCs) and a lot of Johnlock (sweet and hot  ). Espacially the baddie is very well written, cruel and relentless on the one hand, but the past of the character which is revealed during the story let yourself sympathize with this character. The story is set directly after TEH and is over 200,000 words long! Sorry, for babbling so much, but I'm really stoked about this story.

I've read it some time ago. It is very interesting, and definitely something different from other fics. I liked it a lot.

I finished it the other day and also enjoyed it. Nice story twist about a rediscovered diary of 19th century Watson. And quite steamy. Not that long either.
