Summary
“Romantic entanglement, while fulfilling for other people—”
“—would complete you as a human being.”After the Culverton Smith case Sherlock is clean, working, and looking for a romantic partner—since John has told him that’s what he needs. Shame John didn’t mention he was interested in that role himself, before Sherlock went off to Rome with a gorgeous Italian copper to try to fall in love and become a complete human being.

Summary
“Never have I ever kissed someone of the same gender,” Lestrade says with A Look between him and John, and Sherlock is uncomfortably aware of eyes on him as Donovan and the desk sergeant drink.
(Sherlock is frankly surprised that Lestrade himself has never kissed a man, given his inordinate interest in Mycroft, of all people. Oh, God. Not a mental image he needed. He shudders. Delete.)
Take that, Lestrade. He hasn’t drunk and neither has-
“Fuck you, Greg,” John laughs, ruddy-cheeked. He drinks.
The ensuing beat of silence is the longest Sherlock has ever felt.
***
It's Christmas, and Sherlock and John are finally flatmates again after the tumultuous events of the previous year. But a sudden revelation about John's sexuality and James Sholto's unexpected presence throw a wrench into Sherlock's plans, and his jealousy threatens to overwhelm him even as John remains blithely oblivious. Their relationship has reached a turning point, and the ball is in John's court now.

Summary
John hoped that a holiday away from Baker Street would clear his mind of a certain infuriatingly sexy and tragically disinterested consulting detective. So far, it hasn’t gone well.
It goes even less well after the consulting detective gives him a call.

Summary
“For god’s sake,” Sherlock blusters, “John and I are--”
“Happy. So very happy,” John cuts in loudly. He gives Sherlock a resounding slap on the back, jerking Sherlock forward. “In fact, we couldn’t be happier, did I already say that? The two of us. Sherlock and I, that is. Because we’re together--in a relationship--as you so astutely noticed before we could break the news. So. Yes. Thank you, Mrs Holmes.”

Summary
"Doesn't it piss you off though? That he can't even be bothered to remember your name?"
Greg looked confused. "He knows my name, I don't mind that he never uses it though. I mean, it's understandable really."
"Understandable how?" John sipped his beer with a frown, one that only deepened when Gregs confusion turned to vague horror.
"Fuck, I assumed you knew. Look, it's best if you talk to Sherlock about that. Not really for me to tell, mate."
