Summary
In which Sherlock Holmes discovers what it's like to wait, John Watson is pretty good at denial, and every shadow has a light source.
The conclusion to Conductivity.
" 'You see it now, don’t you?' Mycroft continues, sounding almost compassionate. 'You must let John move on, accept that no matter how willing you are to be there for him, he may not be able to be there for you. That’s implicit in whatever foolish promises you’ve made to him. And likely the only way you’ll be able to hang on to any part of him at all.'
Sherlock lets out a long string of invective, but his heart isn’t in it. The truth of this is undeniable."

Summary
"In a world where Alphas and Omegas make up a meagre 10% of the world's entire population, Sherlock and John find themselves at a dark crossroads when they unexpectedly present after five years of being partners, colleagues and best friends. What used to make sense between them now seems incomprehensible as both men desperately struggle to balance the dynamics of a gene that leaves them disgusted with themselves, terrified for each other, and almost lethally attracted to the other in a way that they never wanted to be. Explicit, Johnlock.” - Original Author

Summary
When Sherlock invites John to live with him, he fails to mention that he's a single father to a four-year-old girl.
When it comes, will it come without warning
Just as I'm picking my nose,
Will it knock on my door in the morning
Or tread in the bus on my toes,
Will it come like a change in the weather,
Will its greeting be courteous or bluff,
Will it alter my life altogether?
O tell me the truth about love.W.H. Auden, "O Tell Me the Truth About Love."

Gimme Shelter by SinceWhenDoYouCallMe_John

Summary
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. To finally go pro in the newly formed world of professional surfing and leave the dark memories of his past behind him as he rips across the face of a towering blue barrel. To lounge beside the beach bonfire every evening with an ice cold beer tucked into the cool sand beside him and listen to Pink Floyd and the Doors while the saltwater dries in his sun bleached hair.
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.

Summary
"Have we met before?" That is what John always says, no matter the circumstances of their meeting.
Sherlock always says no until, one day, he doesn't.
Yes, he says this time. Yes, and there's something I need to tell you. Yes, and I know already that I adore you; in fact, I don't just know it, I feel it.
This is where we always start. This is my twelfth time._________________
