I just read that fic today, tonnaree. I found it so sweet and funny that I had a look at what other stuff cwb has written - which lead to me posting this recommandation:

Sherlock and John have a measuring contest. Yup, exactly what you think. I laughed so hard at this fic that my cheeks are hurting. Darn, this woman can write!

A wonderfully wicked fic!

New author.  Wouldn't mind if she continued these.

Re: Johnlock Fic Recs *warning - adult content*

Quite right, tonnaree. This fic did break my heart. Well, produced even more pieces (how can it still be in one piece after oh-so-many fics, and such excruciatingly long waits?) is more accurate.
I've only read the first one you suggested, but I will certainly read the sequel.
Thanks for the rec

Read I wanna be yours, and...Yep, definitely heart breaking.
Hoping for a sequel, now.

Re: Johnlock Fic Recs *warning - adult content*

I came across a wonderful fic today that I thought I'd share.

Half-Cocked by AtlinMerrick
Rating: Explicit

This is a four-chapter wonderful thing of it's own. I haven't read anything like it, really. Short summary could be something like:

John has bought Sherlock a present for their bedroom activities, but it might not be what Sherlock thinks it is.

This fic masters the art of being equally part sexy hot, incredibly warn and romantic and also very, very witty and funny. Not in a silly way - this is really hot and romantic - but in a very witty way. Her writing is amazing, but it might not be a style that suits everyone. I loved every single sentence, and several times she surprised me with something so funny I laughed out loud. 

Don't be scared by the title or the start of the first chapter - this isn't a hardcore kink fic. I was just as surprised as Sherlock.

Re: Johnlock Fic Recs *warning - adult content*

Anyone reading any WIPs right now that are updating on a fairly regular basis? My two favs right now would have to be All The Rest (Of What I Want)and The Burning Life.

Re: Johnlock Fic Recs *warning - adult content*

I am reading "Only by the heart" by prettyvk.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/3574907

That's my only WIP right now besides "All The Best And Brightest Creatures" which is perfect but not updated on "a fairly regular basis".

Edit: Thinking of my own 16-years-old pupils I don't think "The Burning Life" will work for me.

Ahh, yes. I could imagine that might not be quite the cup of tea for a teacher.

Re: Johnlock Fic Recs *warning - adult content*

What in God's name possessed me to try out The Burning Life...? I thought I'd enjoy it -that kind of reading was strangely appealing as a teen. But, as a teacher, it's definitely not.
What have I done?

Oh, I'm currently reading part I of There But For The Grace Of John Watson... and LOVING it immensely. It's a shame I have to sleep, really -and that I've come to the decision to be a grown up and be reasonable...though, how long will *that* last, one can only wonder.

Re: Johnlock Fic Recs *warning - adult content*

My most recent fan fic subscription is for scullyseviltwin's "It Figures", it's just getting started, only 3 chapters up so far. It's supposed to be a "You've Got Mail" AU. So far I'm enjoying it!

I tried reading "There But For The Grace Of John Watson" since everyone seems to love it, but didn't get pass the first chapter. It just didn't grab me right away. Maybe I'll have to give it another go tonight. I know sometimes if you stick with a fic it'll grow on ya.

Re: Johnlock Fic Recs *warning - adult content*

I really enjoyed "Grace" and "The Boys of Baker Street."   But I haven't started the 3rd part because it hasn't;been up dated in so long.  I know the author has had some rough times of late and I don't hold it against her.  I just don't want to get emotionally invested until I know there's an end in sight.

Re: Johnlock Fic Recs *warning - adult content*

The Grace-series is one of my all-time favorites. (Only beaten by the Paradox-series).

She is sort of back on track now, though, the author of Grace. I do know what you mean, but I recommend reading it still. It takes the series in a whole new direction, focusing more on Sherlock than John this time around. I found it incredibly interesting.

Re: Johnlock Fic Recs *warning - adult content*

I just started "Novel" by lifeonmars the other night and it updated today. It's an AU where John is a struggling writer and Sherlock is a consulting editor. It's actually really interesting, I feel like I haven't read anything quite like it. So far it's not slash and only has a teen rating, but it does have Sherlock/John listed as a relationship and it's only 4 chapters so far so who knows where it may go.

It seems like a lot of you guys on here are writers yourselves so I thought this might be a good one to pass along.

Also just generally curious, how often do you guys search for new fics? I'm honestly on AO3 a couple times a day trying to get my fix. If there was a rehab for Johnlock fan fic I'm 150% sure my husband would have sent me off a long time ago.

I sub to a AO3 Johnlock update blog on Tumblr. Every Johnlock fic that gets posted AO3 gets automatically posted to that blog. So I check my Tumblr feed a few times a day. If I come across a fic that looks interesting, I will bookmark it for later.

I will admit I peak at AO3 almost everyday.  It's just part of my "Internet routine."

For those of you loving on Nature & Nurture, earlgreytea has posted a sweet new tidbit.  I do hope she's going to continue with this plotline.

Thanks tonnaree! Hadn't seen it yet.
Ah, the school debate. With Sherlock. I've been waiting for that one!
I do hope she'll do more of those ficlets!
