Reccer's comments::
Ever wonder what John thought of the fact that Sherlock tried to drug him immediately after apologizing to him? Well, the talented lariopefic has written the most touching and insightful story in which she explores that particular situation. After Baskerville is moving, honest, and in character. A lovely first time story--I can't recommend it enough!
(Er, full disclosure: I was the beta reader for this fic... lucky me!)


Excerpt: :

“Are you arguing with me in your head?” Sherlock asks, and it isn’t until John opens his eyes and catches Sherlock’s glance in the rearview mirror that he realizes Sherlock’s been watching him.

“You do realize, don’t you, that people think about things other than you?”

“It’s come to my attention,” Sherlock says dryly. “But you haven’t said a word in nearly an hour, and it appears you’re doing some sort of violence to your trousers, so I thought—”

John’s hands still where they’ve been picking at the inseam of his jeans near the knee. “Well, you were wrong. Again.
