Author: ariadnes_string
Pairing: John/Sherlock

Author's summary: Did this mean he'd resolved his trust issues? John wondered vaguely, that he trusted Sherlock not to hurt him? He doubted it. The truth was probably far worse: that he wouldn't care if Sherlock did.
Reccer's comments:
This is a really intense fic! I wouldn't have called myself particularly into knife play before giving it a shot, even though I love power play. But it might have converted me... John willingly letting Sherlock cut him with a knife? That level of trust does things to me. And of course ariadnes_string's writing is perfection, so I highly recommend giving this a try even if you're not 100 % sure about the knife play. She really gets John and Sherlock.

"Mmmm" Sherlock almost hummed, ignoring him, looking only at the knife as he passed the point of it over the fabric of John's sleeve, across his shoulder, bringing it to rest in the hollow of his throat.

Sally Donovan was right, some part of John informed him, he's gotten bored—he's going to carve you up with your own knife, find some ingenious way to dispose of the pieces, and gloat forever about the perfect crime. You should be shitting bricks right about now, John Watson.

But John wasn't scared. No, fear had very little to do with the way he was feeling at the moment.
