fanfiction rec: Dream State

[wakemexsoftly.livejournal.com]

Title: Dream State
Author: teaandjumpers
Pairing: John Watson/Sherlock Holmes
Length: 4323
Rating: NC-17/Explicit
Warnings: BDSM, disturbing themes, a tiny amount of cannibalism (it's not that much I promise)
Verse: BBC Sherlock, AU with Inception
Author's summary: Sherlock is afraid to let John into his mind because he doesn't know how his subconscious will react to him.
Reccer's comments: I love AUs that allow the reader to explore the characters we know so well. Inception works so well with Sherlock; who knows what lies inside the mind of a Holmes? The imagery is so striking and slightly disturbing, which is Sherlock all over. This is also probably one of the strangest ‘first time’ fics you’ll ever read. 

Excerpt: For the most part, Sherlock's subconscious leaves them alone. Except... John notices that the people populating the streets pay more attention to him than to the other two men. It's subtle, but the unfamiliar faces do a double-take when they pass by John. They watch him from beneath their lowered eyelids. They quickly look away when he locks eyes with one of them.
