Summary
After Mary is deported after it turns out she was never pregnant, John moves back to Baker Street. All should be well. Sherlock is solving crimes, the milk no longer tries to kill him, and John is where he is supposed to be. So why does everything still feel wrong?
A biting comment from Donovan sparks an inconvenient thought that just won't be silenced - what if he doesn't know himself as well as he should? What if a deeper understanding could make things feel right? As Sherlock stumbles through diagnosis, therapy, and the shocking realization that he might actually want to feel better, the people around him begin to notice - some sooner than others.
Complete! Chapters all posted at once. Now with beautiful cover art by wordsandpics, thank you so much!

Summary
Now complete!
The first time it happened was completely by accident.
Post-Reichenbach, John finds a way to hold on to Sherlock after all.
Prepare yourself for 1.) angst 2.) plot 3.) smut 4.) more smut 5.) even more smut 6.) more plot 7.) happy ending. But, in apparently WAY too many chapters. If you're worried about the graphic violence / torture, be aware it's limited to Chapter 30. Probably canon-typical, but I'd rather over-warn than under-warn.
Here's an excerpt, just to give you hope through the angsty first few chapters:
"I am going to seduce you, Sherlock Holmes," he rumbled into Sherlock's ear, smiling as Sherlock's breath grew unsteady again. "Not because you need it, but because you deserve it. We both do." He gave Sherlock a squeeze. "Trust me?"
Sherlock's head lifted, those uncanny pale eyes looking at John with complete sincerity. "I've always trusted you, John."
John felt the last bit of tension leaving his shoulders. "Good." He kissed Sherlock one more time, swift and soft — a promise. "That's good."

John hoped that a holiday away from Baker Street would clear his mind of a certain infuriatingly sexy and tragically disinterested consulting detective. So far, it hasn’t gone well.
It goes even less well after the consulting detective gives him a call.

Summary
Inspired by a fic idea on tumblr : "John and Sherlock know the Yard has a pool going for when they’re finally going to get together. It’s been running forever, and it’s worth thousands of pounds. It’s all fun and games, hahaha, until they find out Lestrade is in dire financial straits (dog needs emergency surgery, he’s putting his kid through gymnastics training, I don’t know, something), and they decide to fake a relationship to win the pool for him. Sherlock figures out the day and way that Lestrade thinks it’s going to happen, and they act it out. It’s all for a good cause, fake relationship style, until it’s not."

Summary
“You’ve stuffed an entire body into the fridge this time,” John accused. “What happened to the milk? The leftover risotto? My bloody jam?”
Sherlock opened his eyes at that. “As a doctor, it should be readily apparent to you that there is only a partial body in our refrigerator. Popular horror stories notwithstanding, it’s rare for an entire corpse to fit into one this size. I had to cut it up into several parts to pack it in, and there is still only seven eighths of it there.”
John stared at the ceiling. “That’s... not better.”

Summary
It is an arrangement between two people who cannot be called friends - cannot be simply thought of as student and teacher - but know each other far too well to be considered mere acquaintances. There's no real label for what they are to each other - every single one Harriet tries on feels inadequate - it's all too complicated between them. But the arrangement between them, at least, is simple.
Right up until it isn't.

Summary
Seven months into Severus Snape's term as Headmaster, he finally perfects a potion that could change the war for the better… or destroy everything Dumbledore set in motion before his death.
Dumbledore is dead, and his plans seem to be falling apart before Severus' eyes. Harry Potter and his friends are no closer to finding and destroying the Horcruxes, and Voldemort's hold over the wizarding world is growing. Severus Snape desperately creates a potion that can send him back five years into the past. Hopefully, with more time, he can find the Horcruxes, find a way to save Harry from the Horcrux inside him and maybe even save some of his other students along the way.
Or he could fail and doom them all.

Please see series notes for a more complete synopsis and an update on the rating.
TW for the series: As of Chapter 86 in December 2023, the rating for this fic has been updated to M from T. For the last half of this story, there have been more and more fight scenes and deaths, and I have felt like I have been toeing the line, so finally increased the rating. All problematic scenes have TW at the start of the chapter so the reader can skip scenes if they wish.Series

Summary
“Surely my use of the word ‘partner’ was a rather large clue, brother mine?” Once again, Mycroft’s words are softly delivered but his growing irritation at Sherlock’s distracted attention shows in the minuscule downturn of his mouth. “You go as part of a couple; romantic, of course.” Mycroft sneers slightly at the concept before continuing. “You are relatively famous, that should be enough to entice someone into spending time with you. Surely some pretty young thing will be eager to spend time with the famous Sherlock Holmes and his infamous temperament; it will only be for four days, after all.” He has chosen his words with care, knowing they will get a rise from his brother and sure enough ….
“Pretty young thing!” Sherlock spits, his pale eyes suddenly blazing, full attention finally on his brother. “I don’t want some insipid person fluttering their eyelashes at me and simpering at my every word! What I want….” Sherlock trails off, aware that he has already said too much.
“Indeed.” Mycroft raises an eyebrow and leans forward once more in his chair, hands templed, an unconscious echo of Sherlock’s favoured pose. “Then ask him.”

Summary
John's first six months without Sherlock are the worst thing he's ever experienced, and he's fully prepared for the next to be just as hard. But he's surprised when Sherlock comes back and changes all of that, though he really shouldn't be.
*
Sherlock opens his mouth, clearly about to argue, or apologize, or speak at all, and isn't that the strangest thing? Sherlock speaking, living. John can't function, can't think, can't breathe. He just turns and rushes out the room, slamming the door behind him, stomping hurriedly down the stairs. Mrs. Hudson opens her door and sticks her head out.
“Where are you going?” Mrs. Hudson asks in concern, touching her hand to her cheek. “Oh, John, I tried to warn you, I did. It's a good thing, isn't it, him being back? Oh, don't go, John, just-”
He slams the door, not even throwing her a glance, sucking in air as soon as his feet hit the pavement. And here he is again, just as he was not too long before, having gotten everything he's wanted for six months, not being able to handle it.
