Well, this seems to be a popular topic! I got the first ask and took my time answering it, and then these second two came in over the last two days, so rather than repeat links, I’m going to just put them all in one post!

So Nonny #2 and 3, for BBC Sherlock, I’ve actually done a LOT of posts about this already (obviously) so I’ll direct you to the following posts about it:

• The Origins of #TJLC
• Sherlock and John’s romance arc in BBC Sherlock
• The Unabridged Dictionary of Johnlock Tropes: 157 Romantic Tropes in The Gayest Show on Television (MUST READ!)
• The Subtext of Drinks in BBC Sherlock
• Here’s My S4 Masterpost: Johnlock and TJLC masterpost. All of those links are essentially “JOHNLOCK IS REAL, HERE’S WHY”.
• Actually, just go to the entire S4 Masterpost page. It’s hours and hours of reading! 😀
• This post here I made after S4 with links to various TJLC posts I made on this site Pre-S4, plus a few Tin-Hatting posts.
• Here’s another “masterpost” of links
• And Another, which contain “definitive” links to meta
• And because I think it’s still relevant, even if S4 isn’t, I have a TJLC Beginner’s Guide, which went around quite a lot pre-S4 to help introduce new people to the fandom. Please note that a lot of the links may be broken due to people leaving the fandom. Updates to the list can be found on my blog’s header bar (you have to go directly to my blog) under “new to TJLC / Johnlock?”. The most recent one is here.
• And because the link is broken on the Guide, here’s “TJLC for the Uninitiated” on Archive.org

As for Canon ACD, here’s some good reading material!

• The “It Wasn’t Canon” Argument
• “John Watson and Sherlock Holmes Were Never Married in the Book!!!”
• “OH MY GOD DO YOU NOT REALIZE THAT JOHN IS FUCKING MARRIED TO A WOMAN IN THE BOOK?!?!??!” (classic must-read)
• The Gayest ACD Story?
• ACD’s Intentions (links to other posts regarding Johnlock in ACD canon)
• ACD and Subtext
• How Does ACD’s Canon End?
• A Discussion About Doyle’s Time

• The Sherlock Special: ACD, The Black Diaries, and 1895
• ACD’s Sexuality
• Conan Doyle’s Circle of Queer Friends
• The Stark Munro Letters and TJLC
• IT’S NEVER 1895…
