Sherlock teaches John how to play (the violin)kytherSeptember 22 2010, 21:23:51 UTC

String instruments are clearly the sexiest-looking of all instruments. The smooth curve of the body punctuated by jutting hips and a narrow waist, brown glossy wood giving way to the dark, long neck and the curled, flared elegance of the head. The tension of the strings running all the way down from the head. The curve of your hand on the bow.
UST/pre-slash/slash. Inevitable proximity and arousal - or just a growing ...awareness. It's all about the violin.

In surprise, John almost dropped the violin but caught it in time and if he wasn’t mistaken, Sherlock’s eyes widened slightly in fright. He knew the violin was emotionally important to Sherlock but he had yet to uncover the detective’s intimate relationship with it. It obviously went beyond mere love of playing

He had to admit, he was learning fast. Playing the violin was as wonderful as listening to it. It was a wholly satisfying experience learning, clumsily as he was, such a delicately instrument. Perfectly logical in construction yet malleable when mastered, John understood why Sherlock adored it

I love this. Maybe because I too was forced to play clarinet when I was kid when I really wanted to play the violin or cello. Now that I'm older I play the guitar with hopes of taking up the cello. Their so beautiful.

This was really a lovely fic :) very sensuous and nice... Can I pick at one thing though? Being a violinist? Middle C being taught to be a beginner would most likely be in 1st position, in which case it would be 3rd finger on the G string :)
Sorry, I'm obliged to do this when i see fics involving violins! Other than that it was great :)

Author here, thanks very much for your comment! And for the added finger placement knowledge! I'm a pianist, not a violinist so the practical side of playing the violin isn't really my strong suit. But I'm planning on uploading the fic to my writing journal and bbc Sherlock comms so will amend it to add that. Thanks!

*prints out fic, gets into bunk* THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Awesome. And his legs were kicked apart slightly. For some reason, OMG THE HOTNESS *fans* And Tremolo; even the name is hot.
My violin teacher called C5 (i.e. 2 fingers on A) middle C, because on a violin in first position it kind of is more central than Middle-C-on-the-piano. Maybe it depends?
Oh, and Anon? You get so much love for mentioning the left-handedness. Although pianists do have it worse - bloody Mozart with his third-and-fourth-finger trills on your non-dominant hand...
