Reccer's comments: Mistyzeo is one of my favorite ACD writers, and this fic hits all the things I love about slash fic in the ACD verse. The boys are so familiar with each other; Holmes knows exactly how to get John "past the point of tipsy and well into knackered", and John knows exactly what's up. The small and simple ways they reaffirm their love in public are too good, and the sex is quite hot, without losing the sense of reality the story has. Also, I love mistyzeo's Holmes voice. It's a bit snarky, loving, and definitely in-character.
