221b_recsTitle: A Thorough Examination / In Depth
Author: emungere
Pairing: Sherlock Holmes. John Watson
Length: 15,884 words
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: Psychological manipulation, Dub-Con, Non-Con, and all around darkness
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: Sherlock watched John's mouth as that smile slid away too quickly. There had been something there, something he'd not had time to analyze. He was left with the unsettling impression of having witnessed an expression that didn't belong on John Watson's face at all. In its wake it left the equally unsettling thought that perhaps he didn't know John as entirely as he thought he did.
Reccer's comments: Let's pull no punches here. John rapes Sherlock. In a way that I found plausibly in-character. *stops and blinks* Yes, I know. But ... let me tell you why this is worth your time. This Sherlock is slightly naive, but in a way that makes sense. The first half of the story is written from his point of view, but as the reader you can barely catch sight of John struggling with a terrible, long-term impulse, and gradually, gradually giving in to it.
The climactic scene was (IMHO) a blisteringly hot piece of kinky porn, made all the more effective and disturbing by the build-up.
But after the sex scene - that's when this story really took off for me. Because Sherlock's response to being sexually assaulted by his only friend is just as atypical as he is. And both of them working their way through the aftermath was FASCINATING. If the warnings don't trigger you, it's well worth a read.
