My wish-fulfillment fic: All of the things that Janine "made up" for the tabloids after breaking off her engagement to Sherlock... actually happened. I don't care if it was because Sherlock was high, or trying to make John jealous, or whatever. I want to see "Shag-a-lot Holmes" in action. And I want to see John's reaction when he finds out the real reason why Sherlock reacted so calmly to Janine's post-engagement campaign to humiliate him was because it's all true.
Bonus: Sherlock is secretly amused by Janine's antics because he knows exactly how hard it will be to convince his friends and family that she's NOT lying. Over time, they all discover the truth, and are flabbergasted. Particularly Mycroft, who realizes for the first time just how far off he was when he figured Sherlock was "alarmed" by sex. Rather, Sherlock was incredibly intrigued and sought out answers for his curiosity about sex/sexuality in the wake of his flirtation with Irene in ASIB.
HUGE bonus: It turns out that Sherlock secretly lost his virginity to Irene Adler, and they were lovers for all the time he was gone, meeting for secret trysts around the world. She gave him a real... education, which he then put to use with Janine (and others). He EARNED that nickname the tabloids gave him. If it turns out his motivation was to try and move past his secret love for John, all the better (he doesn't have to "get over" that love, just stop pining and get on with life). Angst is good.
