John and Sherlock start sharing sex dreams about each other. Neither of them realizes that the other is experiencing the the same dream or that the other has feelings for him, until... happy ending!
John knew right away that he was dreaming, which was unusual for him. What tipped him off was that he always slept on his side, but was now on his back. With his wrists handcuffed to the headboard. And, right on cue, there was Sherlock, naked. This had been happening quite a bit lately, not that John was complaining

“Or the one where we were taking a shower together. We were covered in lather and the water had made your skin so hot, and your muscles so relaxed
( ... )
That could have been phrased more tactfully and politely, especially as the very first comment to a fill. Maybe it was unintentional, but it came across rather rudely.
No need to lecture me on the importance of spaces; I did include them when I wrote it, of course. I just didn't notice LJ had eaten my formatting until after it was all posted. ):
Preview sometimes doesn't even catch it. To be sure, you need to post it in a comment somewhere (I've got a private entry on my journal just for pre-flight checking) to see what horrors LJ will unleash.
Thank you both for the useful advice. This is the first time I've posted anonymously on LJ, so it honestly didn't occur to me that I wouldn't have the option to delete the post after the fact, but I'll be sure to take measures in the future.
DA Oh, god, I get that all the time! With me it's something weird about returns going from Mac to PC or vice versa in a word processor. Looks fine on either platform, but LJ reads one of the returns as null characters, it's horrendous. *smacks LJ* I've switched to writing strictly in .txt files with TextEdit or Notepad and haven't had the problem since!
Fantastic story by the way! I normally skip stories where the spacing is missing due to my own vision issues, but your first few lines sucked me in, so I cut and pasted and made myself a 'blind as a bat edition' with spacing and 24 pt characters so I could enjoy it fully! :D
Writing comment fic for over 10 years. You can blame LJ but the bottom line is that with preview, a complete readthrough and simply clicking 'return' more than once is far easier and more reliable than html if you are going anon.
Block text is a huge drawback for many readers. It is seen here yes, but frankly it is more the act of a writer who doesn't preview and reviee than it is an act of LJ.
And I'm sorry that LJ likes being a dick when it comes to formatting. I hear that double-spacing (2 spaces in between lines) actually helps? Never tried it before, but it couldn't hurt for future reference! And thank you for writing this fic, regardless of what other people say. ♥
Bonus points if one of the dreams is in a shower.

One big block of text is extremey hard to read, distracting and annoying.

Also, I didn't really notice the lack of spaces until the other reviewer mentioned them, and I still don't mind them.
