Well, hello, everyone!  An official “Happy New Year” to you all!  A shout-out to all the new followers this last month: such a pleasure to have you stop by!  Work’s been a bit intense as of late, so I’ve been putting off recs for a bit.  This one will be a quick one, but I didn’t want to leave you hanging.  Apologies.

What I like best about this piece is that it is overflowing with emotions. There are so many emotionally charged words in this one that you can’t help but feel as overwhelmed as both the main characters as you progress throughout the story.  I like how it’s told from John’s perspective.  From what I see, John is as much of an enigma as Sherlock is: he saves lives, but he can take them; he is crass, but sweet; he is stubborn, but accommodating - a duality in most cases, so who’s to say that his emotional connection to others can’t swing both ways as well? We get a very good read on John Watson in this, and through his eyes we readers must also infer Sherlock’s unclear and sometimes confusing actions. 

The ending of this story is incredibly sweet (in addition to steamy). A great read again by @silentauroriamthereal! 

Can highly agree, one of my favourites to re read and as always sheer perfection by @silentauroriamthereal
