I do not even have proper words for this chapter because it was a massive, beautiful thing made of YES. Action and all the UST and clothing porn and wonderful things. I should probably not leave comments when tired but I had to stay up to read this.
”Holmes smiles, his eyes sharp over cheekbones sharper still. Though attractive, the expression is not quite benign. John has the sense of a net wrapping about him and slowly drawing tight. He makes no attempt to resist. If anything, he sits taller in his chair for the sensation. When Holmes’ smile widens, a thrill pierces him.”
That’s nice to read - falling under Mr Holmes’ spell . . .
”What sort of a man might Holmes be if unburdened from that restraint? If Holmes could be untucked, unbuttoned, unlaced, who would be left? John has to wonder.”
It’s nice to see him wondering; I wonder, too, where it will lead.
It’s so fascinating this story, tales within tales and so much to discover.
This chapter... Well, I read it last night and then I read it again this morning, just because the entire Christmas scene is so lovely, so, you know, there's that.

Oh John, you're so horribly blind to yourself.

I mean that literally, by the way.
Brilliant work. Very subtle but effective.
