"John, I," Sherlock cleared his throat and visibly steeled himself. "John, I believe we may have had sexual intercourse last night."

In which John and Sherlock go to the opera, apprehend a criminal, and then return to their hotel room to have jubilant, endorphin-fueled, post-case sex.
Seriously hot fic with established Johnlock who obviously can't have sex while on a case, so the tension between them is off the charts.

Summary: Post-case sex is the best kind of sex. Just ask Sherlock Holmes.
In which John and Sherlock go to the opera, apprehend a criminal, and then return to their hotel room to have jubilant, endorphin-fueled, post-case sex.
Seriously hot fic with established Johnlock who obviously can't have sex while on a case, so the tension between them is off the charts. And of course, when the case is finally solved the smut is fabulously hot. :D There's also a sequel that I think switches things up, but it's unfinished so I haven't read it.
