Fic: The issue of cuddling

Title: The issue of cuddling
Author: lavvyan
Pairing: John/Sherlock
Length: 2500 words
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Verse: Sherlock BBC

Author's summary: The inherent problem is, of course, that Sherlock is the world's only consulting detective. He doesn't ask for information; he deduces it. That John keeps behaving in unexpected ways is irksome. That Sherlock still hasn't been able to determine whether or not John wants a physical relationship beyond cuddling on the sofa is… annoying. Vastly so.

Reccer's comments: I have got a thing for asexual!Sherlock, especially when he’s completely clueless. Here he tries to apply logic to John and John, as usual, surprises him. Sweet, funny and very in character

Author's Summary: There doesn't seem to be one.

Reccer's Comments: Tam Lin is one of my favorite ballads/fairytales (I know it's a ballad, but after such ingenious retellings as Pamela Dean's novel by the same name, I've come to look on it as a sort of fairytale). If you'd told me it was possible to fuse it with Sherlock before reading this, I think I'd have proclaimed the idea mad. Much like two of my previous recs (And the seventh one has drownéd thee & A Brief History of Modern Magic), this piece is an excellent example of a crossover done right. The last two paragraphs are just...oh. Worth its weight in wonder.
