Author's summary: Loneliness and shared slumber are an odd combination.

Reccer's comments: To be honest, I don't know whose home this takes place in. When I first read it, I assumed it was Lestrade's, as Sherlock in Lestrade's home is a particular love of mine. But maybe not. It's someone's home, and it takes place entirely on a couch, which is home for Sherlock, or at least home base.

The author calls this a little "snapshot" of the two of them, without context. I'm not sure where they are, why Lestrade's hair and collar are wet, or why Sherlock is "wrecked." It might be nice to know. I'm reccing it for the writing, though, for the conceit, and for the sheer smoky sexiness here, where Lestrade is drawn to Sherlock's breathing.

Contains tobacco, the really good cigarettes. You might doubt how well this could work if it were described outside the story.
