A few wishes for Sherlock and John fics

[karadinart]

*note these ideas come about because fanon trends are the opposite of these ideas, ie: fragile Sherlock, asexual-until-he-meets-John-who-rocks-his-world, etc.* With exception of the last, that's Benedict's idea. Not that I expect anyone to write these.

A fic where John and Sherlock separate when John gets married (to a woman) Sherlock and John continue to work together, Mary (or Sarah or whomever) is NOT a bitch. Sherlock does NOT shoot up or cut himself or distance from John. He is allowed to grumble about John leaving however, because in canon Sherlock was able to get along before-and-after John Watson.

A fic where Sherlock's lack of desire for sex does not result from childhood trauma, sexual assault or other psychological problems. Mycroft is also asexual. Points for John (who is not in a relationship with Sherlock) trying to see if he can abstain from sex with his partner(s).

A fic where Mrs.Hudson comes to the rescue of the boys add Anthea, Sarah, Molly and Donovan if you wish.

A fic where Harry's issues are addressed, she's not a bitch, she and John don't get along but they find some common ground. Points for Sherlock not being arsed what's going on, only if it interferes with their work.

Benedict wondered in DVD commentary if John and Sherlock could go on holiday in an episode, hijinks ensue. Benedict did his gap year in Tibet, so put it there for points.

I remember dozens of the first type of fic when the movieverse fandom exploded, some of which were very good. I'm fairly sure there were a couple set in the BBCverse when I was active there. Definitely there were fics addressing the second type of storyline. Some were on AO3 so you should be able to find them with some poking around.

This is a bit more about seeing the opposite of these fics all over the place, fanon likes to characterise Sherlock as fragile, but he did have a life before-and-after John Watson.
