Sherlock/John - Oral Fixation (kinda): thumb-sucking, cock-sucking, nipple-sucking etc

[anonymous]

Anyone else notice how when Sherlock is thinking/brooding (especially in the backs of cabs) he tends to touch his own mouth

Given just how often Martin/John's lip-licking gets mentioned, and how little, in contrast, there seems to be about this I was starting to think I was the only one to notice Benedict/Sherlock's habit.

AYRT

Ah, glad it's not just me. I am kind of obsessed with it, I'm always looking out for it in interviews. I find it really fucking arousing. And if his hands aren't touching his mouth, then they're stuck in his pockets. Which is quite a strange pose to keep adopting in photos, especially if I can see the outline of his individual fingers. Strange, weird, beautiful man.

I just might have to write this, OP. Might take me a while (I'm not at home til tomorrow evening) but I quite literally cannot stop thinking about it now.

OP

I could not thank you enough if you did fill this, Anon. And would happily wait until Doomsday if I had to. :) (I wish I could write sex scenes, but I can't.)

I think the thing for me with him keep touching his own face - quite aside from the beauty of his hands and mouth - is that face-touching does tend to be a self-comfort thing so there's something sort of insecure and shy and vulnerable about it. And there's something... attractive about that IMO.

can't be bothered logging out to re-anon, haha. i've started this, but i don't want to post til i've finished, which will be the weekend at the earliest. so don't worry, i'm on the case. :D

i think you're right about the fact it's a comforting thing for him. he strikes me as being very self confident in terms of his acting talent, but when he's got to be ~just benedict~ he seems to get a bit nervous and twitchy. bless him. ilu benny.

Another thing I didn't notice until I heard BC himself ranting about it, is his tendency to play with and "twiddle" props. He is just lovely and gorgeous and rather adorable. He also comes across as so *real* if you know what I mean.

I'm really looking forward to what you are going to do with this. Can I pay you back in icons? I have a screencapping obsession and really ought to do something with them other than stare at a very pretty folder. ;)

This is an awesome prompt.

MMMM, yes yes yes

Fill - FIXATION

[erinaceousfic]

I AM SORRY I TOOK SO LONG OH MY GOD

It's here on AO3, nearly 3.5k so I'm not posting it in separate comments, haha.

I hope it's close to what you were after.

Re: Fill - FIXATION

[anonymous]

this was lovely. I like how firmly it est the comforting aspects of sucking on things, and other people's reactions--it made John's presence a more logical progression than S/J usually is for me.

I sucked my thumb well into primary school, to my parents' utter mortification.

Re: Fill - FIXATION

[erinaceousfic]

he'd kill me for telling you, but my 32 year old fiancé still sucks his thumb sometimes when he's concentrating (or watching a film), it's really fucking adorable and is also why i knew i had to do this fill!

i'm glad you liked it, and glad you commented so quickly! :D i didn't want to jump straight in to BAM SMUT, and i've not written kid!sherlock before so it gave me a chance to give it a try :)

FIXATION - OP Review

[anonymous]

I am so sorry *this* has taken so long. I left kudos on AO3 and then my computer decided to go on a go-slow and I couldn't comment and then BT decided to do some updates which meant my broadband went down. GAH.

Annnnnyway. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS OH MY GOODNESS CAPSLOCK CANNOT ADEQUATELY CONVEY MY GLEE AND I'VE BEEN MAKING NOISES THAT ONLY DOLPHINS AND DOGS CAN HEAR! :D

I love - adore - that John was all just, "Go ahead and suck your finger if it works for you," even *before* they were romantically involved, just so accepting and so *John*. And I love that you *explored* the history that I sort of outlined, that was lovely. (And your child!Sherlock certainly worked for me. I think my heart broke just a little when he crammed those three fingers in his mouth to try to ease his grief. oh, Sherlock! <3
