Summary
“Thrice.”
“Yes.”
John blinks. Shakes his head. Blinks again. “Thhhhrice.”
“Yes.”
Is my mouth moving right n- “Thrice in your entire life?”
“Yess, John,” Sherlock growls, hissing like a snake grabbed by the tail. “Thrice, three times, twice more than once and once more than twice, a veritable triptych of onanism. Thrice.”

Upon moving back to Baker Street following Sherlock’s return from the dead, John finds that Sherlock is a bit more keen on entertaining gentlemen callers than he once was, a fact that seems to make John irrationally angry. Intent on proving that he’s not a total dick, John decides to make it his mission to find Sherlock a boyfriend. This, as it turns out, is the worst idea John has ever had.

Summary
John Watson, WWII army doctor, is injured in the line of duty and can no longer wield a scalpel. Sherlock Holmes, Britain's best code-breaker, is side-lined by his own devastating injury. In a work inspired by Frances Hodgson Burnett's "The Secret Garden," the two men must find meaning and purpose in a world which seems to have taken away all they hold most dear.
But of course, it really hasn't.

Summary
Based on this prompt on the Sherlock BBC Kink Meme.
(Mostly straight) John is desperate for a change in vocation. Along comes the imposing, and slightly intriguing, Mycroft Holmes with an offer for John to join his brother's shop. Sherlock is doubtful his brother is capable of hiring anyone who is not prudish, squeamish or a complete prat, yet maybe he's on a winner with the good doctor. Not that he'll admit it. Yet.
Featuring all the regulars you know and love (and hate), a trip to Sexpo, pining of the requited and unrequited variety, and lots of talk of butt-plugs and dildos.

Summary
John chases some empty dates looking for a relationship that he comes to discover he's already in.
++
Sherlock pulled back with a gasp. “John.” With the hand on his leg, John could feel the movement of Sherlock’s lower body, trembling and restless. "John."
"I know." He let his eyes close, finally feeling that they just might be on the cusp of something wonderful, and he pressed his forehead against Sherlock's. "Feels like home."
"So you never actually had a date last night?"
"No."
"You let me think ..."
"You assumed ..." John chuckled. "By the way, Mrs. Hudson fussed at me on my way in. I think she's concerned I'm going to hurt you."

Just what it says on the label.
John Watson has agreed to teach a section of advanced biology. I'm fairly certain he is not expecting to find a rather challenging student in his class.

Summary
"You're a man," John says
"Problem?" the man asks, his voice a rumble of thunder across sandy planes.
"No. I just didn't expect..."
"Well," the man says. "Neither did I."
John Watson wants not to be bored, and not to be forced to take these dance classes his fiancée wants him to take. Sherlock Holmes wants to live off of money not begged off of his brother, and to be allowed to solve cases that the idiots at New Scotland Yard clearly can't solve. They meet one Friday at 4 o'clock. Nothing is ever dull again.- Language:

Summary
Before he knows it, he and Lance have overstayed their welcome at the afterparty bar, too, and Lance says, “I’d invite you up to my room, but I’m pretty sure Hunk is passed out right now,” and before Keith can second-guess it, he says, “I have beer in mine, if you still want to catch up.”
Which is weird. Since when do he and Lance catch up? Keith has no idea. He also has no idea what they’ve been talking about, other than anything and everything that’s not Shiro and the fact that he’s marrying someone who isn’t—
Fuck.

Summary
This is not the first time John has escaped the petulant airs of 221B and soaked his troubles in a couple of pints, softened the edges of a rough day in the company of friends.
Well, Sherlock says ‘friends,’ but really. Five blokes that indulge in team sports, getting together weekly to talk footy and act like ruggers – an otherwise completely deletable bunch if not for the fact that about once every four weeks, John prefers their company over Sherlock’s.
Inconceivable.
And yet.

Prompted from the kinkmeme: 5 times Sherlock and John almost kissed at work, and one time they did. I chose to broadly interpret 'at work' as 'while on a case'.

Summary
“Mmm - Mendelssohn Lied ohne Worte number seven in E-flat major,” John mumbled groggily. “I always loved when you played that one.”
“Since when have you known what the songs were called?” The question came out a bit more snappish than Sherlock had intended, but John just closed his eyes again and shrugged.
“Since you died,” he said simply.
Oh. “I . . . didn’t know.”

Maintaining A Personal Life by AuburnRecluse

Summary
Sherlock and John discover some interesting revelations about each other’s sexuality, which lead them both to question the assumptions they've made about one another for years. In the midst of their mutual discoveries, a dangerous psychopath looms on the side-lines who threatens to destroy their new beginning.
----
Sherlock’s head snapped to the right, where he fixed his gaze upon the rather unexpected development that was a man standing in their kitchen wearing nothing but his pants and a t-shirt. …
Unexpected…was this unexpected? Shortly after meeting him, Sherlock had easily deduced that John was not uninterested in men sexually. This was something that John was at least mildly conflicted about and overcompensated for constantly. It was likely that he’d experimented with this interest at least once in the not too distant past, although this was one point on which Sherlock was chronically uncertain. And Sherlock hated being uncertain.- Language:
