... I'm home, Stateside, for the holidays until Thursday, during which time I will be unable to see it again. After which I will be in a country where AGoS doesn't come out until F***ING MARCH 10TH!! ... I hope someone uploads to YouTube soon... I wouldn't like my own fill of the details were all wrong!
In the meantime, because I'm an evil bitch, here is a teaser:
Moriarty gripped the hook in his other hand, shifting it slightly in the open wound. His eyes, locked on the shuddering form beneath him, tried to absorb everything at once: the way the blood seeped with increasing volume to dye Holmes' clothing and paint the trembling flesh exposed by the ragged tear in the shirt... The slow, fractional slide of the thick wedge of metal in and out, in and out of its point of insertion... The way pure, sensual agony poured out of his adversary's dark, moist eyes. It was a struggle to keep control, not to push in harder to hear those exquisite cries again. His head spun with the smells of blood, sweat, and fear and only his desire to take in more of that heady perfume kept his breath from racing to catch up with his accelerating pulse.
Don't answer, he willed, even as he moved to hear Holmes' rasping capitulation. We're not nearly finished.

Oh, that's fantastically chilling. Especially the bit about Moriarty hoping Holmes doesn't answer him, so he'll have an excuse to keep hurting him. *shivers*
I can't give you the entire scene from the moment Holmes wakes up, but I happen to have a REALLY good memory for dialogue and that scene was...memorable. If all you need are the words, I'm 99.9% sure it goes like this:
"You are familiar with Schubert's work. 'The Trout' is, perhaps, my favorite. A fisherman grows weary of trying to catch an elusive fish. So he muddies the water -- confuses the fish...it doesn't realize until too late that it has swum into a trap."
*Hook* *Music* *Screaming*
"Let's try this again, shall we? To whom. Did you send. The telegram?"
"To my...ah."
(Moriarty leans down and grabs the hook) "...To my brother Mycroft."
"Just got one more question for you. Which one of us is the fisherman, and which, the trout?"

You have a brilliant memory, if I may say. Just reading this dialogue gave me chills again. I absolutely cannot wait until this scene is on YouTube so I can get my fill of it.

Math and I...don't get along. :) Like I said, not very good with numbers. Words, on the other hand, seem to stick to my brain like glue, particularly words with an emotional charge and/or perceptible rhythm. In practice this means that I have a much easier time remembering poetry, fiction, and movie dialogue than throwaway everyday conversation, though I'm pretty good at that too.
Long story short my memory is not especially impressive, except in that one area. It's a very random skill, but every now and then it comes in handy.

That is actually very interesting to me. I wonder what causes this very particular form of memory. I'm sure you wished or wish that you could remember boring facts and formulas... Perhaps if you put into song or poetry.

Yeah, that helps a lot. It's not that I have a bad memory, in general it's pretty good (except when it comes to numbers), it's just nothing at all like the total recall I have with certain kinds of words. *Shrugs*
But anyway, I will stop cluttering up your prompt with discussion of my odd quirk and join you in waiting for this fill, which looks to be awesome.

Indeed. This promises to be a wonderfully gruesome fic... I need to find a way to go see AGoS again without making myself look insane and obsessed (which I already know to be true, but I don't want others to catch wise).

Thanks a bunch! I might still prefer to know how many times Moriarty pushes Holmes (when he's dancing with him, *shiver*), but we'll see what I can do.
Having just written a couple non-con Moriarty/Holmes fics, I think I'd like to write some consensual M/H before coming back to torture.

Hope that helps? I'd love to see more of this.
