Oh Sweet Agony!, a Sherlock/(&)John post-Reichenbach fanfic rec
Like the cliffhanger spawned dozens of escape theories from the pool, the fall has resulted in some pretty great fics, too. There are some really, really sweet stories of reuinion in this list, but you know what they say about seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. You first have to survive getting hit by a speeding train. Wait, what? It doesn’t go like that? Well.
Some are BBC-compliant, and others were written even before series 2 aired. Like the AU and smut rec, you’ve probably already read these if you virtually live in AO3, but I like putting things in lists so.. As always, be mindful of the ratings!The Good Morrow by greywash (series)

AU! in which John is merely a delusion created by Sherlock.
“There is no John Watson. There never has been. You invented him.”
“Leave me alone.”
“You are alone.”
I SWEAR TO GOD WHEN THIS FANDOM IS NOT ON DRUGS IT MAKES SOME OF THE BEST GIFSETS
The difference between Sherlock’s face and John’s face: this is not the first time John has seen this happen to a man.
THAT EXPLANATION
As the story goes, Sherlock came back. This fantasisez about the how. (bbc Sherlock)
The first and last time they say goodbye to each other face to face…

oh god oh god it’s the same room and the same door but opposite who’s leaving and don’t mind me, just in the corner crying a little
SUPER JOHN THE AMAZING
So Sherlock series 3…they couldn’t care less about us waiting. I actually started to write something out of pure frustration. This is it, and it sounds smarter than it really is. This is what I was reduced to.

“Well, I don’t like it; but I suppose it must be,” said I. “When do we start?”
”You are not coming.”
”Then you are not going,” said I. “I give you my word of honour — and I never broke it in my life — that I will take a cab straight to the police station and give you away unless you let me share this adventure with you.”
[…]”Well, well, my dear fellow, be it so.”
The beginning and end of John Watson.
