Hemp tempeh and bergamot tea with flower essence for an afternoon delight for Chicken. Afternoon delight: . . . . . . . . . . . an action. A feeling of pure joy. Anticipation of a day off of work that will include singing. A snack before my Love comes home from 101 heat index and his hardest night of the year every year.

Review: Another great and classic post-Reichenbach fic, one that portrays John’s anger and resentment at Sherlock’s ‘magic trick’ quite realistically. Once John forgives Sherlock, it becomes an elegant two-step of mutual attraction and desire for love, without knowing how to express it clearly. One step forward, one step back. Complicating this is a major assumption John makes about Sherlock’s sexuality, or rather his preferences in bed, and one that he’s not sure he can overcome. A love story about forgiveness, risk, negotiations, confessions, and acceptance.
The words that took my breath away: “Just the other day, [Sherlock] said to me, 'I would much rather live in this world knowing John was alive and hating me, than live knowing John died still believing in me.'”

Summary: John is a mess. Sherlock can't fix him, but he tries. That's good enough, John thinks.
(11k, Teen, post S3, no Mary, slow build, getting together, angst) Warings: PTSD, flashbacks and nightmares
I really really love this. It’s a great slow build up of them rebuiliding their friendship and then realizing how much they really mean to each other.
Achieving the Together-Coloured Instant
Achieving the Together-Coloured Instant (20776 words) by teahigh
It's then that John endeavours to find out just what it is, exactly, Sherlock fancies in bed. He starts thinking of it as an experiment of his own. He even goes out and buys himself a new Moleskine notebook that he keeps tucked away in his bedside drawer. On the first page, he writes the title in thick, black pen:
The Unravelling of Sherlock Holmes – An Experiment (of Sorts)
Subject A: Sherlock Holmes – Male, born January 6th, 1979. 6'1”, slender build. Allergies: Mild allergy to pineapple and mosquito bites, skin sensitivity to most fabric detergents. Consulting detective (the only one in the world), genius and perpetual man-child. Sexual orientation: Still no idea.
Subject B: John Watson – Male, born October 21st, 1973. 5'8”, average build. Allergies: None. Army doctor. Sexual orientation: Bisexual.
The Experiment: Sher Subject A, though not particularly sexual, still agrees to engage in sexual activity with Subject B. However, Subject A refuses to inform Subject B on any of his sexual preferences, and tells Subject B to “Find out for himself.”
Which is exactly what I Subject B plans on doing.

Rec: A beautiful, delicate approach of two friends becoming lovers. This feels so natural and easy, although it's not without moments of angst and uncertainty. Like taming a wild creature. Written pre-series 3, so AU.
