Title: The Great Sex Olympics of 221B
Author: XistentialAngst
Pairing: John/Sherlock, John/OFC, John/OMC, Sherlock/OFC, Sherlock/OMC
Length: 58,611 words
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: None
Verse: BBC

Author's summary: John Watson thinks Sherlock Holmes should admit that he, Watson, is more of an expert on sex than Sherlock is. But Sherlock refuses to concede the point. He comes up with an experiment plan that will resolve the issue. The results will determine who wins the prize. But sometimes even the best thought-out scientific study has unexpected consequences.

Reccer's comments: Why should you read this fic? *smile* Because it’s just flat out fun! If this is crack, it’s of the highest grade. The plot is outrageous and hilarious, yet you’ll completely recognize John and Sherlock. Their strong friendship is the core underneath it all. When the quiz forms for ranking their performances started appearing, I was laughing so hard, I couldn’t breathe. The author has thought of everything in this wild romp. She also manages to take us on an unexpected emotional journey, because for all the craziness that ensues, there is a depth of feeling between John and Sherlock. (And when VulnerableSherlock shows his face, he slays me.) Do not let the tags for other partners with John and Sherlock dissuade you. The heart of this story explores John and Sherlock’s desires and realizations for one another. (The only downside I can see about reading this fic is that if you are like me, you may wish you had been a candidate participating in their experiment!)

I read this fic just a while ago and LOVED it!

In fact, all the fics by this same author are some of the best I've ever read in this fandom!

I wholeheartedly agree with this rec. This is a brilliant story and a wonderfully fun, exceptionally hot read.

This sounds right up my alley. Thanks so much for the rec!

Thank you, I've just taken a peek and can't wait to settle down for a long read and laugh!

This was on my to-rec list! Really great fic, so much more than the title suggests.

Not surprised. You read everything! And I read your reccommendations. When I saw your name listed as a reccer this month, I thought, "Oh, shit! *scrunches face* I see her name on everything I read too."

But as John would say, "It's fine. All fine." *grin* Let the games begin.

One of the pleasures I'm discovering about volunteering to rec is that it's causing me to reread. And learn technology. And get out from under a rock.

It's also more challenging than I thought once I realized many stories I like have already been recommended and that I can't include WIPs.

I've returned with a hearty "Thank You" for recommending this story. I loved every word, from the cracky beginning to the thinky sex to the hopelessly romantic ultimate union.

I put it on my own recs list, that's how much I enjoyed it. Thanks again!

I'm glad you liked it! The author has returned with a new fic, The Halloween Party, now posting at Archive of Our Own.
