Fic Rec: The Fundamental Things Apply
Title: The Fundamental Things Apply
Author: raina-at
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Length: 6,500 words
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: none
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: "Kisses that are easily obtained are easily forgotten." - Proverb
Reccer's comments: Happy April, everyone! This fic is one of my favorite uses of the 5+1 format, in this case "five times Sherlock kissed John and one time John kissed him back." The heart of the story is really a gentle examination of the idea of addictions -- to drugs, to danger, to losing control -- and it becomes a lovely portrayal of a romance that refuses to be defined by those addictions. I adore the ending, especially.
(Note: It was written in the hiatus between S1 and S2, so the imagined resolution to the pool stand-off in "The Great Game" is different than canon).
*Mods, for some reason the comm's tag list is not appearing for me, so I can't add the appropriate tags right now. It's probably a temporary glitch -- I'll come back and try to add them later.
