Fic Rec: Let You Kiss Me (So Sweet and So Soft), by out_there

[unovis.livejournal.com]

Hi!
I expect to make a few runs at recs during the year. I'm starting off with some of the first works I read in Sherlock, most of which also defined trends in fic for that fandom. I'll add in some more recent and maybe less known things as well, for readers who are familiar with other recs lists.

Title: Let You Kiss Me (So Sweet and So Soft) (AO3) on LJ on DW; podfic/audiobook read by pandarus/fayjay
Author: out_there out_there
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Length: 8666 or 8702
Rating: PG
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's Summary: The first time Sherlock kisses him, John keeps his eyes open, and so does Sherlock, and mostly, he wonders what Sherlock could possibly be up to. There'll be some logic to this. Some ridiculous experiment about body warmth or respiratory rates or testing a new way of picking pockets. Sherlock does the unimaginable for bizarre reasons, but behind it, there's always logic and curiosity. Sometimes, it just takes him a while to explain it to John.
Reccer's comments:
Sherlock fandom has the most gorgeous, sensual, funny, and touching kissing fic I've read anywhere. This is the first one I read and still one of my favorites. Sherlock is charmingly logical and clueless. John is steadfastly reasonable and puzzled. Reader is delighted with them both.
