There's an irrefutable buzzing noise between my ears.

It's the p0rn, it's short circuited my brain, i know it.

Honestly, this was a little too...i guess, endearing, cute, perfect? It reminded me of a harlequin, which i would normally hate, but as remarkable as this fic was, i liked it.

Heh... part of the fun of writing for a prompt, I think, is that it gives me an excuse to try my hand at something that's a bit outside my usual writing preferences - for better or worse, as the case may be. And so, you're right... I don't write a lot of smut, and I'm sure it shows!

Thanks very much for the comment, and glad to hear that you enjoyed this little piece in spite of its flaws ;)

Thank you! First times are always nice, no matter how many different variations I read - glad you enjoyed this one ;)

Oh, my, this really hits the spot.

I like your brand of unadulterated smut! Any time you're selling, I'll buy. I have to (respectfully) disagree with the above comment - this is endearing and sweet, but I don't think it's Harlequin-ish at all. I think you showed Watson's patience and care beautifully, without pushing it into sappy territory, and I liked Holmes like this - he was uncertain without becoming stupid about it. Thanks for a great read.

Thank you! I enjoy reading smut as much as the next person (unadulterated or otherwise!) but rarely write it myself, so this little piece was a bit of an experiment for me... personally, I adore innocent!Holmes and patient!Watson in just about any form ;)

So thanks very much for the kind words, and I'm thrilled to hear that it pleased.

This is just lovely, sweet and tender, but but not at all sickly so... I could happily read this many times over, both Holmes and Watson just ring so true <3
Beautiful x
