Sherlock Fic Rec: Beta
Oct. 30th, 2013 09:41 pmNo, it’s not Omegaverse, but some fantastic dark!John/vulnerable!Sherlock. *dances*
Oh my Goddd... *hyperventilates*![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fireofangels, the absolute master of dark, kinky Sherlock fics (seriously, check out their wonderful masterlist on AO3) so very kindly wrote something amazing in response to a prompt I left, and I’ve been re-reading it constantly and love it more every time:
Beta (5,337 words) byfireofangels
John/Mary. Author’s summary: Sherlock, back from the dead, promises to do anything to appease a deeply hurt John. Little does he know what John has in store...
So basically post-Reichenbach, dark!John is angry and upset and decides he needs to take steps to ensure that Sherlock can never pull something like the Fall again. And so John starts corseting him so tightly Sherlock finds it hard to even breathe, much less to think.
But this story is even more than that—it’s also a deep psychological study of Sherlock after the Fall, of the depth of Molly’s friendship and concern, of how manipulative John can become when pushed too far, of the power that Sherlock gives him. Chilling, heartbreaking, beautiful.
The author totally nails Sherlock’s perspective here, really getting into his head and showing us why he has to do this. Oh, my heart!!!
Quote: He wonders if this will work, if this will bring John – or anyone – back to him. He hopes so.
