Fic Rec: Compound a Felony

Title: Compound a Felony
Author: by mistyzeo
Pairing: Holmes/Watson
Length: 12,000
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: D/s, spanking, rimming
Verse: ACD canon
Author's summary: Sherlock Holmes knows there is something else about his new flatmate that he hasn't figured out yet. The truth is, it's a compliment to the thing he hasn't figured out about himself. John Watson, however, knows just how to handle the situation.
Reccer's comments: I love stories about partners learning how to develop their relationships to fit new parameters, and I love kink negotiation, so this fic delighted me in those two ways (and many others, besides). I enjoyed seeing Holmes long for something he can't quite name, and Watson is appropriately careful with him as he tries to go about things in just the right way. Mind-melting hotness is intermingled with insightful character development, and all of it is wrapped into a terribly satisfying (and thoroughly entertaining) whole.

I mean, come on, d/s and Victorian clothes? I cannot resist.

We're twins right down to our tendency to procrastinate and post all our recs at the end of the month! I'm excited to read all the flurry of recs you posted yesterday. *fic twin five*
