Author's summary: “Breathe, John,” Sherlock said.
John exhaled and closed his eyes and tried to resign himself for the tenth time to the fact that he had to endure it now, that this was out of his authority, and that this would only be over when Sherlock determined it so. He inhaled through his nose and exhaled through his mouth slowly, until he gained control of his breath and his heart, and managed to settle again.
Reccer's comments: Reading this fic was one of those 2AM accidents that sometimes happens when you're crawling the ao3 looking for something, anything, surprising and good to read. This fic is both. This is one of the few D/s stories I've read that doesn't sacrifice character for titillation. Sherlock doesn't descend into an awful caricature of toppy sadism, and he isn't a surprise sex god. He's over-analytical, impetuous and makes mistakes - in short, Mugenmine's Sherlock!voice is wonderfully in character. Her take on John and what he needs and how he lets himself have it is really captivating. From the start she pulls you right inside his head and *keeps* you there - as unsure, and searching as he is. The end result is the best sort of emotional hang over.
The Doctor in the Boot is the second part of what is technically a series, but the author has commented that it can be read as a stand alone, and I agree.
If you give this a shot, please do be aware of the warnings.
