Title: The Heart In The Whole
Author: verityburns
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Length: 102,000 in 21 completed chapters
Rating: PG - R most chapters. NC-17 later. Each chapter has its own rating.
Warnings: none
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: Events after The Great Game leave Sherlock dependent on his best friend and colleague. But John has a secret of his own...
Reccer's comments: John becomes indispensable during Sherlock's recovery from a brain injury received in the pool incident.  I loved this as a WIP, and enjoyed it all over again as podfic. Take Hurt/Comfort and stir in generous quantities of UST and stir: it's a wonderful combination. It's terribly romantic, assuming a Sherlock who is inexperienced but not unwilling.

no, its the technical term for when the brain has been bruised or shaken, as by an explosion or other head trauma.

Thank you for answering that. I've been burned before by reading novella-sized fic that went OOC or had a hasty ending. It's frustrating to invest so much in a fic and then have no satisfaction from it.
