spikeface
Pairing: John/Sherlock
Length: ~8000
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Violence, knifeplay
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: One month, four days and twelve hours after John Watson shoots a murderer in the chest, Sherlock finally comes to understand his urges.
Reccer's comments: In this hot exploration of the sharp edge of Sherlock’s psyche,spikeface takes on the how-they-got-together trope with skill and panache. Sherlock here has dark depths, but John is definitely a match for him: he's the opposite of a weak victim. The story includes an intriguing exploration of what, exactly, a sociopath might find irresistible about John.
One thing I especially appreciate aboutspikeface’s style is her sparsity in terms of explanation. She leaves clues about the emotional details of the situation and leaves the interpretation up to the reader. It’s a lovely effect, very like a minimalist painting.
