Pairing: John/Sherlock
Length:75,789
Rating: Explicit

Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: Everyone thinks that they're a couple, but Sherlock's self-sexual and John's straight, so they're never going to fall in love, are they? Even if neither of them can imagine life without the other.

Reccer's comments: Full disclosure time. I was lucky enough to find this story when it had a chapter left to post. I think if I’d stumbled on it sooner, it might have killed me. The story centers on Sherlock edging for an entire month, after some false starts in the beginning, and his developing relationship with John. Talk about your unresolved sexual tension.

There’s also a heart-aching subplot with Sherlock’s grandmother who dies, leaving with him an estate and an unwelcome deluge of awkward memories and emotion. And of course, there’s John’s battle with the blurred line that is his sexuality.

This story is gloriously hot, emotionally satisfying and hilarious. It’s well-rounded enough that it falls *this close* to being cracky without tipping over the edge. And the pacing is extremely well-planned, painfully so towards the end, but worth every one of the 31 chapters.
