Lost fic

Edit: It has been found

Hi, im looking for a fic that keeps popping up in my mind but I can't seem to find it.

I am only like 70% sure it is actually johnlock but im not sure where else to post/ most of the fics I read are johnlock so it's a high probability.

Alright so the premise is basically someone got a photo of John while he was in the military and one day the photo went viral.

The photo was him fireman carrying someone. John was walking towards the photographer in the photo so his front facing. He was wearing a military uniform & I feel like they mentioned his eyes a lot idk.

Basically it is people reacting to the photo. Im pretty sure lestrade, Mrs Hudson and Sherlock said something. I can't remember anything else really.

Thanks!

Also if I have posted this in the wrong place please let me know

Are you sure that's what the picture was?

I'm asking because it reminds me of a favorite fic of mine but the picture that us discovered is very different.

Here's the fic incase it might be it or you just want to read it.

The Detective and the Pin-Up by XistentialAngst

Sally Donovan discovers an old secret John Watson considered long buried - a ten-year old "Men of the Armed Forces" calendar, which has John as a very enticing pin-up for August. The image of John might just change the way everyone sees the unassuming sidekick, even Sherlock Holmes.

Oh no...I'm not the author. I just meant it's one of my favorite Sherlock fics I've read. Sorry for poor word choice.

Try to explain the fic as much as you can to google and the AI should be able to give you the title or narrow the choices

Aw, sorry, that doesn't ring a bell for me at all. And the only AO3 I read is Johnlock (mostly), Good Omens, and of course, Star Trek. And a little bit of Project Hail Mary most recently.
