“Before we do this,” said John, “I have some ground rules.” He had been thinking of this all day. Just because he was about to relinquish mental control didn’t mean Sherlock could do whatever he liked. That would be frightening. “First of all, I want to remember every single thing that happens. No blackouts, no amnesia. Secondly, this is private, between you and me. So no mentioning this around Scotland Yard, and nothing that interferes with my daily life. And third, nothing permanent. I don’t want to wake up with altered memories like that poor sod.”
Sherlock raised an eyebrow. “What about triggers?”
Good lord, was Sherlock already planning to do this more than once? John swallowed thickly. “Triggers are okay. But again, nothing that would interfere with my daily life.” Triggers were more than okay, in fact, and John was starting to get aroused just thinking about it. “I trust you, you know,” he added. For better or worse, he thought.
Sherlock’s smile turned affectionate. “Yes, I know.” Which wasn’t exactly comforting, but it would have to do.
With a flourish, Sherlock pulled a lighter from the pocket of his robe and lit a candle that had been placed on the table in front of John.
“Has that been there the whole time?” John asked in surprise.
Sherlock responded with a sigh. “Once again, your powers of observation astound me. Now, focus on the flame and feel yourself start to relax.”

Okay, now I'm off to do the things I should actually be doing today...

Haha, of course Sherlock's prepared! I can't wait to see how this goes. I'm a bit nervous for John, though, so as much as he might trust Sherlock, I'm glad he set some ground rules.

Wow, this is intense, I really like how John is responding already. John is a bit mad for trusting Sherlock, but then, he always is. :D Trustworthy!Sherlock is <3 and I'm relieved to see there are ground rules.
