Well, I've found this and this in terms of bottom!John reclists — if you don't know them already, you're likely to find stuff you haven't read yet in them. I think part of the reason why people adore top!John is because Watson's gone through so much flak in the decades since ACD wrote the stories; he's been viewed as the buffon and the lout for so long that many of us want to write him as slightly more in control in his relationship with Sherlock than he usually has.
Oh, dear, if it surprises you that I write slash it really has been a long time since we last talked. I've gone through quite a few fandoms since DCMK.
And yeah, John pseudo-dies in that one — it's finished, actually, it should be up sometime before Christmas. It's interesting, to reverse roles that way.
Oh, I'm pretty sure that already exists. Somewhere. In the LJ DCMK comms, maybe?
DW is mightily confusing at first, but you do get used to it rather fast; and then in order to understand everything you just go back up to the earlier episodes. :D If you don't start with s1, s5 really is best because it draws a clean slate after the entire plot arc of the previous seasons, but there will be some parts you won't get. You're entirely welcome to ask me for data, btw.
I have no idea. It's a trope that just works, I guess. In the case of TSN it also involves betrayal! traps! lawsuits! and basically a lot of angst. Delicious, delicious angst.
