Fic (and fanmix) rec: Virginity/Brighton Morning series, by thinkpink20

[petronia.livejournal.com]

Title: Virginity series
Author: thinkpink20
Pairing: Sherlock/Lestrade
Length: 4 stories (27,254 words in total)
Author's summary: Sherlock and Lestrade spend the evening together, and Lestrade learns some things he never knew.
Rating: NC17 overall
Warnings: None for content, but WIP
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Reccer's comments: In which Lestrade sleeps with Sherlock (first time! quick learner though) with what in retrospect might be seen as a certain lack of foresight, and things get emotionally complicated... on Lestrade's end. Nil sign of stoic pining from Lestrade in canon, I have to say (for anyone, let alone Sherlock), but if he were to, I imagine it would come off like this. There's a likeable, unforced naturalism to the characterization, a light touch that keeps the stories from devolving into OTT angst. The sex is really hot and intimate too, which helps. :D

Links go to sherlockbbc posts. The author hasn't explicitly continued the series to a resolution that I know of, but she's written other, fluffier stories that may fall somewhere within the same timeline.
