Fic Rec: A Cure for Boredom

[allonymity.livejournal.com]

Title:  A Cure for Boredom
Author:  emmagrant01
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Length: 81,714
Rating: NC-17
Verse: BBC

Author's summary:  They'd never talked about sex in the year they'd known each other. Well, that wasn't quite correct: Sherlock had never said a word about sex; John had bemoaned his personal dearth of it on many occasions.

Reccer's comments:  I was very happy this fic was recently completed so I could rec it before my turn ends this month.  Sherlock-exploring-sex-as-an-experiment is one of my favorite tropes, and this story does a great job with it.  First off, there’s porn – lots and lots of porn.  Very hot porn, of all sorts.  But that’s not really why this story sticks with me.  Because there’s plot, too.  Mostly focused on John and Sherlock’s character development and how it affects their relationship, but there’s also a clever case fic woven in the later chapters.  And it’s all woven together to form a satisfyingly hot, funny, and touching read.

I, too, was thrilled the author finished this today (although now I'm craving moar). Lovely hotness and even lovelier angst. A joy to read and the author is spot-on w/the boys' voices.

I was just bemoaning my lack of long, satisfying, porny stories, and here you come to fix that for me.

Looking forward to reading. Thank you!

I started reading this as a WIP and it's what got me hooked on this fandom. There is such a beautiful build-up of UST carried throughout this fic.
