Now complete!

The first time it happened was completely by accident.

Post-Reichenbach, John finds a way to hold on to Sherlock after all.

Prepare yourself for 1.) angst 2.) plot 3.) smut 4.) more smut 5.) even more smut 6.) more plot 7.) happy ending. But, in apparently WAY too many chapters. If you’re worried about the graphic violence / torture, be aware it’s limited to Chapter 30. Probably canon-typical, but I’d rather over-warn than under-warn.

Here’s an excerpt, just to give you hope through the angsty first few chapters:

“I am going to seduce you, Sherlock Holmes,” he rumbled into Sherlock’s ear, smiling as Sherlock’s breath grew unsteady again. “Not because you need it, but because you deserve it. We both do.” He gave Sherlock a squeeze. “Trust me?”

Sherlock’s head lifted, those uncanny pale eyes looking at John with complete sincerity. “I’ve always trusted you, John.”

John felt the last bit of tension leaving his shoulders. “Good.” He kissed Sherlock one more time, swift and soft — a promise. “That’s good.”

Sherlock trips and falls head over heels in love, makes a lot of lists and stares, stares, stares.

In which Sherlock Holmes finds out what it's like to truly want something, John Watson isn't too bad at deductions, and everything gets a bit bright for a minute. Rated for language, sexual themes/discussion of sex, and a bit of violence. Complete work.

"Sherlock Holmes isn’t sure about John Watson right away. That in and of itself is unusual, as he typically forms instantaneous, and negative, opinions about everyone he meets. The truth is Sherlock is so engaged in his work when Stamford brings John to meet that him that he fails to register his presence almost entirely until John offers him the use of his phone."

“For John, it’s not a bullet that throws his existence into disarray – it’s a bite.”

In a world where twelve percent of the population are Mactiri - people with the ability to turn into wolves at will - John finds himself struggling with a new and horrifying existence. The victim of a shocking attack, he is discharged from the army and sent home, determined never to acknowledge what he can now become.

However, when his health starts to fail, it is up to his enigmatic new flatmate to show him that perhaps his life is not the nightmare John believes it to be.

Sherlock ran a website called The Science Of Seduction, on which he gave advice on the best ways to get laid, wrote blog entries detailing the results of his various sexual ‘experiments’ and generally contributed to the stereotype of ‘every gay man is a sex-mad playboy’. John avoided the thing like the plague. AU in which Sherlock treats sex like he does crime in canon. Inspired by Queer As Folk UK, but it very quickly went its own way.

When John realizes he has feelings for Sherlock and decides he must keep those feelings secret at all costs, the resulting tension might bring Baker Street to the ground.

Sherlock Holmes is an Oscar winner in the midst of a career slump. John Watson is an Everyman actor trapped in the rom-com ghetto. When they are cast as a gay couple in a new independent drama, will they surprise each other? Will their on-screen romance make its way into the real world?

Notes: do I even need to writes notes for this fic? This is an absolute fandom classic. It's in every johnlock starter kit right next to Alone on the Water. If you haven't read this, YOU MUST DO IT NOW.
