Reccer's comments: One of my absolute favorite things is when an author takes a prompt or concept that is inherently ridiculous or cracky and makes it work in a way that is neither, and this fic is an absolute brilliant example of this. Each case is compelling, well-plotted and unique, and leaves absolutely no doubt that the boys simply must lose their pants for the greater good. The characterizations are lovely; Sherlock's blunt offers for John to look at his penis had me face-palming right alongside John, and the UST is just delicious. Stir in Reichenbach feels and an absolutely beautiful, gut-wrenching look at John's PTSD and you have everything you could want. I'm so happy I stumbled across this gem of a fic.
