Author's summary: During the events of His Last Vow, John has sex with Mycroft seven times. He’s not gay, but this isn’t sex, it’s a release. An exhale...

Reccer's comments: This Johncroft gem is the angsty His Last Vow hurt/comfort fic I didn't know I'd been looking for until I found it. Don't be put off by the pairing; the premise is compelling and the characterizations entirely in line with my reading of His Last Vow. John is a bit more than not good. Mycroft, who must have had terrible days in there too, isn't either, and hints of his pain filter delicately through John's suffering - but they find some comfort in each other. Highly recommended!
