Summary
John meets an old man who seems to know a lot about him.
“At my age, I finally understand: time is the only commodity you can’t stockpile. You wait, and all you have are yesterdays; and you can never know how many tomorrows you’ll have.” He stands, bins the paper coffee cup. “Now you’ve got me talking like a greeting card. Like the sentimental old fool I am. What I mean is, sometimes it’s worth taking a chance.”

Summary
What if Sherlock planned to fake his suicide, but John figured it out before he met Moriarty on the roof?
What if Sherlock refused John's offer to go with him?
And what if John did something so inexplicable that Sherlock couldn't stop thinking about it for two years?What John did was unexpected, and the realisation that John Watson can surprise me is humbling. I’ve called John an idiot more than once, tried his patience, ignored his pained expressions and muttered displeasure. And John has pulled the rug out from under me, first by reasoning out what I was up to, and second by kissing me. I’m afraid to think about what the kiss means. Love may be a mystery, or a defect, or a dangerous disadvantage, or a vicious motivator, but a kiss is a statement. Hello, goodbye, I love you. It hardly seems possible that John loves me despite my efforts to make myself unloveable. Goodbye seems most likely.

Long for the World by Calais_Reno
Fandom: Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms
22 Sep 2023
Summary
This series tells the story of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, androids created by Mycroft Holmes, a genius in the field of artificial intelligence who has learned how to make his androids self-aware and capable of experiencing emotion.
The first story, Learning the Heart, is told by Sherlock. It takes place directly after a nuclear weapon has been detonated over London, killing thousands. Mycroft’s androids, including Sherlock, comb through the wreckage to find survivors.
The second story continues soon after the first, as the world rebuilds and changes, moving towards another war. Sherlock and John live at Baker Street with Mycroft’s colleague and friend Mrs Hudson, who is observing them to learn the limits of the new Series 3 androids.
Part 2 is told by John Watson, an android, a lover of books, a writer of stories. Theirs is an important story to tell, he feels, because people should understand that an android’s heart is not just a mechanism. No one knows exactly what a soul is; who’s to say an android doesn’t have one?

Summary
If the Atlantic had been snatched away and all that remained of it was a solitary raindrop, would that not be the most precious quantity of dihydrogen monoxide ever known? Shouldn’t it be protected, venerated, treasured, even if it was a mere trace of the mighty ocean?
Holmes comes to terms with his connection to a robot named Watson, and that robot's connection to a man named Watson.

Summary
A bit of a fic for Red Pants Monday. Said pants aren't the star of the show, but they do make a nice catalyst.
Sherlock attempts to be a good friend to John during a difficult time. It goes about as well as you'd think, at least until the kissing starts.

The Scientist's Method by spacemutineer

Summary
Sherlock Holmes has always known the world through the straightforward lenses of evidence, logic, and reasoning. But when Watson is caught in a tragic preventable disaster, his trusted clear lines of reality start to shift and blur, and the scientist detective begins to piece together a grand discovery far beyond even his exceptional imagination.
Detection is a way of learning and science is a way of knowing, but as Sherlock Holmes is about to realise, love is a way of understanding.
