Pairing: Holmes/Watson
Length: 7,400 words
Rating: R
Warnings: some violence I guess, but it's pretty mild, and all consensual.
Verse: Book canon or '09 film
Author's summary: The Prompt, found here : Holmes/Watson: Boxing matches of increasing sexual tension! Watson decides to challenge Holmes to a fight at the boxing club. They both rather enjoy the experience of being all shirtless and sweaty and violent so it happens again. And again. And again, until they can barely stand the overwhelming urge to fuck instead of fight. SUPER BONUS POINTS for them finally cracking and booking it out of the ring after a particularly frustrating match to finish what they started just out of range of the crowd.
Reccer's comments: There is nowhere near enough boxing fic up in this fandom. This one strives valiantly to fill that void and does a frankly marvelous job. It was written for a kinkmeme prompt shortly after the '09 film, but it's done in ACD pastiche, so it could fit into whichever verse you prefer. Personally, I like to think of it as book canon, even though Holmes's boxing prowess is far more prominent in the film. Basically, it is filthy boxing porn. You're welcome.
In fact:
Also, look for them lacing each others' gloves. Good lord. There is nothing about this that I don't like!

In fact:
Holmes’s sweat had dried but the dust remained stuck to his skin. His slim frame was tense, each muscle standing out in sharp relief, breathing now slow and steady. His expression was as bemused as it could be, underneath the focused, almost predatory look that was typical for him in such situations. A little smile crossed his thin lips as he moved into a semi-crouch, angling his torso half-away from me. I approached him, also assuming a semi-crouched position.
“I knew you were going to --”
I hit him in the mouth before he could finish speaking. I still hold that it was not unsporting so much as aiming the interaction in a certain direction.
He smiled, almost feral, and used his glove to wipe away a little of the blood that spilled from his split lip. “Oh yes,” he murmured.
Also, look for them lacing each others' gloves. Good lord. There is nothing about this that I don't like!
