Fic Rec: Compound a Felony

Title: Compound a Felony
Author: by [livejournal.com profile] 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.
