An anon dropped this request for bottom!John recs in my mailbox during the week I was writing my gift exchange fic. And, well, it does give me an excuse to go back through my bookmarks and reread some stuff. ^_^
First of all, anon, have you seen hestia14’s massive LJ post of bottom!John? That’ll hook you up for approximately the next 1000 years. And then, in case you were wondering, all my fics lean in that direction, because I have discovered that Sherlock is so dom in my head that if somebody’s on the bottom (and mind you, sometimes no one is), it’s never going to be him.
Let’s see, some particular favorites. For the record, all of these are explicit, since I am guessing that you want smut. ^_^
Trust Issues by thisprettywren – consensual D/s games with bondage and blindfolds and hnngnfgn. (Sherlock/John)
Swallow You Whole by lindentreeisle – Stockholmy vampire non-con. If you’re uncertain about non-con, avoid this because you will hit the end and be unable to decide whether you feel aroused or violated. (Sherlock/John)
He’s Mad That Trusts in the Tameness of a Wolf by cyerus – non-violent blackmail-related non-con and D/s. Surprisingly great even if you’re into S/J, because really it’s all about Sherlock even if he’s not there. (Irene/John)
Caring for John (series) by SailorChibi – Sweet, healthy D/s fic. John’s been looking for a good dom/me his whole life. (Sherlock/John)
Training Dr. John Watson by angelblack3 – kidnapping, captivity, and non-con to high heaven, featuring dark!Sherlock. I like it because I’m a twisted kitty and because despite all the hell he goes through (and it is so much hell; particularly beware if you have a tendency toward claustrophobia), John never breaks. (Sherlock/John)
It’s Not the Sort of Thing We Test That Often by anonymous – pure smutty consensual goodtimes with anal beads on the kink meme. (Sherlock/John)
Take a Bite by likes2lurk – dub-con vampire smut on the kinkmeme, where they’re both vampires. Unfinished and abandoned, but honestly it’s not like it had a plot anyway and it is brain-meltingly hot. (Sherlock/John)
When It Rains, It Pours by teaandjumpers – John is dating Victor Trevor. They have copious amounts of really gorgeous sex, until Sherlock comes between them. (Victor/John, Sherlock/John)
Sweet Surrender by Supernatural4Ever – mostly consensual omegaverse. It is about 99.999% unadulterated smut. (Sherlock/John)
The things I do for you, the things you do to me by anonymous – more censensual kink meme anal bead smut! (Sherlock/John)
Size Matters by toestastegood – consensual size kink. (Sherlock/John)
Claim of Darkness by Putigress2012 – vampire non-con, in which Sherlock decides to keep John. This is another one whose appeal lies not only in the hot sex, but also in John’s BAMFery even in captivity. First in a series, even (yay!) (Sherlock/John)
Under Control by rotaryphones – in which Sherlock helps John explore his hypnosis kink. (Sherlock/John)
The Long Game by stardust_made – in which Sherlock and John discover who’s better at poker. (Sherlock/John)
I think I’ll stop there. I’ve got more, but I’ve also got things I need to get to tonight. ^_^
