Author's summary: The Mayo Clinic prescription for hypothermia is this: Tea. Blanket fort. Sex.

All right, it doesn't come right out and say that on the website. But Sherlock can read between the lines.


Reccer's comments: The arcsupport prescription for Season 2-induced trauma is this: Tea. Shock blanket fort. This fic. (It provides the sex.)

I'm frankly astounded none of this author's works have been rec'd here before. This is gorgeous and fizzy and ecstatic, filled with word play and foreplay and some side-splitting lines. God love Sherlock and his bullheaded determination to sex John back to health as per strict medical guidelines. God love John and his witheringly sarcastic attempts to fend off a tongue bath. God love me, what an innovative use for tea.

Lest I sound unbearably twee: this is some well-written shit, y'all. Smut, hot, shot through with tender at the core.
