Fics Based on a Song

[alexxphoenix42]

 

Closing Time by MapleleafCameo, 7 k, explicit. First meetings, new beginnings. He knows who he wants to take home tonight.

He's Coming To Us Dead by Vulgarweed, 13 k, explicit. The war is ending and the troops are returning. They do not always mean well. Their loved ones are not always glad to see them. A case straight out of an old folktale has deep repercussions for Sherlock and John.

Wrapped Around Your Finger by MojoFlower, 27 k, explicit. Period 1900′s daddy kink. Teen Sherlock meets an older man in Morocco, and things are never quite the same for either of them. Inspired by the song Wrapped Around Your Finger by The Police. I'd say PWP, except there's a soupçon of plot, given that it's a story worked around the lyrics of the song.

Giants by thegirlinthedeathfrisbee, 1 k, mature. Unilock. He'd skip his early classes, and they'd learn how their bodies work.

Ask by dragonQuill907, 4 k, teen. Sherlock Holmes works alone at Hudson Florals, arranging bouquet after bouquet for boring, predictable people. There's only one customer who ever catches his eye: John Watson. Based on the song "Ask" by The Smiths.

The Colours Dull, and Candles Dim by ImpishTubist, 3 k, teen. Parentlock. This Christmas is different. This is the final part of the "Winter's Child" 'verse.

Belong Here by belovedmuerto, 1 k, explicit.  PWP. Sherlock cleans his room. John rewards him. Based on the Depeche Mode song, "Home."

How Soon Is Now? by dragonQuill907, 3 k, teen. Unilock. When Irene dragged Sherlock to an LGBT+ club, he hadn't expected to run into decidedly-straight, crush-from-chemistry-class John Watson. Based on the song "How Soon Is Now?" by The Smiths. (Part of an 8 part series.)

Travellin' Soldier by orphan_account, 6 k, gen. (Angst.) Sherlock Holmes works after school at Angelo's cafe, and usually he's bored out of his mind. Then John Watson walks in one day and turns his life around. This is the struggle of love and loss and heartbreak, and how easy it is to experience all three.

My Heart The Red Sun, Your Heart The Moon Clouded by tiltedsyllogism, 1.5 k, gen. Not all mysteries need to be solved. John and Sherlock spend an evening on the porch, thinking about the past.

Slow Hands by Lediona, 1.9 k, mature. The jingle for Capital caught his attention. Oh, Christ. Why on Earth was their radio tuned to Capital?  Or when John listens to Niall Horan's Slow Hands and does a slow dance in the kitchen...

The Light of Day by allonsys_girl, 7 k, mature. Rewrite of the end of Sign of Three. John actually notices Sherlock leaving the reception early, and chases after him. Angsty Johnlock. Happy ending, for sure.

Take Me to Chuch by SeaweedWrites, 809 words, mature. I heard Hozier's “Take Me To Church” on the radio, and it gave me the idea for this. I think that song fits Irene Adler just about perfectly. So this is a little bit of a character study as well as a song fic. Someone has been VERY bad, and it's up to The Woman to put them back in their place.

The Autumn Mist by Kayjaykayme, MojoFlower, 2 k, gen. Sometimes Sherlock would open his giant sea-colored eyes and wonder what he had done in a previous life to be condemned to such tranquility as he’d experienced for decades. Quiet. Calm. Peaceful. It was hateful.

Of Chaos and Calculation by i_ship_an_armada, 65 k, explicit. Gladiator AU. (Based on Glory and Gore by Lorde) When John is captured and brought to Rome, he's sold to the most noted ludus in The Eternal City, the emperor's. There, he meets Sherlock, auctorati, enigma, a perfect partner in the arena. And out. Sherlock is investigating the murders of several gladiators, but has secrets of his own that could be more destructive than a defeat on the sands. (Locked to AO3.)

Take Me Back to the Start by janto321 (FaceofMer), 2 k, explicit. John's moved back into Baker Street, so Sherlock takes him to Angelo's. When so much has changed, let's go back to the start

Never Had No One Ever by dragonQuill907, 4 k, teen.  After John's thwarted attempt to woo Sherlock (thanks, Irene), he just really needs a drink. Surprisingly, Sherlock feels up to joining him. Unsurprisingly, it just ends up a mess. Based on the song "Never Had No One Ever" by The Smiths.

Tomorrow's Song by agirlsname, 26 k, mature. (Sherlock POV. A  different Reichenbach reunion.) How can he think a relationship with me would be a good idea? I am the sort of person to take a break from my life and when I come back after two years, I expect to find it exactly as I left it. In reality I find it shattered to pieces. (I actually equate you with my life. When did I start doing that?)

Gimme Shelter by SinceWhenDoYouCallMe_John, WIP, explicit. (1970’s, American surfing AU.) All John Watson wants is the feeling of a freshly waxed surfboard under his feet and the hot California sun baking down onto his back, leaving dark memories behind. That's all he wants, that is, until the hot young phenom taking Oahu and the Hawaiian shores by storm steps up next to him in the sand in the second round of the 1976 International Surf Competition.
