Unfuckingbelievable. Actually no, totally believable. I love Sherlock's matter-of-factness about his personality disorder. Gave me chills, it did!

I'm glad it worked for you. For me it's hard to imagine Sherlock as a, well, caring sexual partner because that would involve selflessness and displaying feelings and he doesn't do those very often. So I tried to imagine how a sociopath would approach sex with someone who, puzzlingly, trusts him.

Oh God that worked so well. Incredibly *unf* and just a little bit heartbreaking at the same time. <3

That was my favorite bit, though all of it was great.

(Hi, not sure now how I got here, but happy about it!)

I have no words...

I will be revisiting this when coherence is regained... and possibly a few more times after that... and memming it... and... yeah... I'll just be over there - in my bunk

For some reason, I could never quite imagine Holmes and Watson being intimate while still keeping things in-character, but this. is. Genius.

It's so perfect that John would secretly crave the danger of submitting himself to Sherlock, and so right that Sherlock would warn him he was playing with fire...but the question is, was he warning him out of genuine concern, or because he unquestionably knew that reminding John of the possible dangers of putting himself entirely at the mercy of a sociopathic control freak was exactly the sort of thing that would make John's libido go through the roof? Possibly the most delicious thing about the character is that we'll probably never know, and John definitely won't. Plus, the sweetness of John realizing that Sherlock has never had anyone trust him - and the bravery of his willingness to be the first one to give him that gift - is utterly adorable and heartbreaking

Thank you so much for this lovely, lovely comment! ♥

You put into words what I love about this pairing. They're so dysfunctional and at least Sherlock knows how to manipulate John, though he's frequently surprised that John's letting him, even likes him for putting him in danger.
