Um, if you're just starting out, I can give you some beginner recs, if you'd like. There's a nice long list of fandom classics here (part I) and here (part II), if you want to browse some of them. Also, most fic is now on the Archive of Our Own (AO3), which is very handy and has a "download" button so you can save stories to read later on an e-reader or whatever.
This fandom can be a bit overwhelming, as there is a lot of great writing (but we are always desperate for more wonderful writers!). I think a handful of some of the most well-known stories are:
--26 Pieces, my personal favorite in which John and Sherlock get kidnapped and fall in love. (I think you have to have an AO3 account to read this one.)

--The Whore of Babylon Was a Perfectly Nice Girl, in which John learns about Sherlock's sexual past.
--The Progress of Sherlock Holmes, an epic first-person story that gets into Sherlock's head about his feelings for John.
--Two Two One Bravo Baker, an AU in which Sherlock joins John in Afghanistan and they have crazy amounts of hot sex.
--The Good Morrow verse, a very plotty story which imagines life for both John and Sherlock after Reichenbach.
--The Paradox series, in which Sherlock has pretty dark and crazy thoughts, but John loves him anyway.
--Alone on the Water, the fandom tearjerker in which Sherlock gets a brain tumor and dies.
Hope that helps! :)
