Semper Fidelis by BLIND_AUTHOR
Summary: Written for a kinkmeme prompt: Moriarty frames John and “Anthea” of betrayals which cause both of the Holmes brothers to cut them off. Cue BAMF!John and BAMF!”Anthea” doing their best to clear their names. Both het and slash; Mycroft/Anthea and John/Sherlock.
Rating: R
Warnings: Violence, sex
The verdict: BAMF!John and BAMF!Anthea. I think that more or less speaks for itself.
The Whore of Babylon was a Perfectly Nice Girl by Out_There
Summary: “Sherlock walks into a room and takes all the space right out of it. He does the same inside John’s head”.
Pairing: John/Sherlock
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: None
The verdict: I’ve got this on my iPod. I have a particular soft spot for this one for a mention of druggie!Sherlock. Well written and nicely in-character porn.
In Depth/A Thorough Examination by emungere
Summary: “You’ve spent all this time—
“Preparing you,” John said.
”Manipulating me.”
“It was easier than I thought it would be.” He paused and laid a hand on Sherlock’s thigh. “But this isn’t really your area, is it?”
Pairing: John/Sherlock
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Noncon, dubcon, psychological manipulation, thoughts and discussion of suicide. Medical fetish, sounding, e-stim, use of a gun during sex. Dark.
The Verdict: I’m a sucker for Dark!John and medfet so this was a win-win for me. Another one that I have on my iPod. Avoid if you’re not into power play or darker things but other than that, allons-y!
The Paradox Suite by Wordstrings
Summary: Being with Sherlock is a series of shocks, but John is game for it anyhow.
Pairing: John/Sherlock
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: None
The Verdict: Again with the beautiful words. A good examination of how John deals with all the contradictions that come as part and parcel of a life with Sherlock.
The Warzone Series by abundantlyqueer
Pairing: John/Sherlock
You’re a Soldier, I’m a Warzone: Episode One
Summary: Post-episode story for A Study in Pink.
Notes: Gun porn, John porn, porn porn. Timestamp: the early hours of Jan 31st 2010.
You’re a Soldier, I’m a Warzone: Episode Two
Summary: Missing scenes story for The Blind Banker.
Notes: Similar territory to Episode One – suture porn, John porn, porn porn; irresponsible eroticization of injury, violent death, and John’s pissy-face.
Timestamp: the late hours of Mar 26th 2010 (so about two months after Episode One).
You’re a Soldier, I’m a Warzone: Arms Race
Summary: OT3: John/Sherlock/John’s gun.
The Verdict: Hello, gun kink. As written by abundantlyqueer. What about this is not amazing?
Stretch Out and Wait by estas_absentis
Summary: Post TGG, Sherlock/Moriarty. Pretty much PWP, works standalone but I plan sequels.
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Porn! Fairly kinky porn at that.
The Verdict: I have a serious weak spot for this particular pairing, it’s just so messed up. This is really hot, and pretty much how I imagine it would go down between the two of them.
Phone Sex by rubyofkukundu
Summary: This fic does exactly what it says on the tin.
Pairing: Sherlock/Moriarty
Rating: R
The Verdict: Very interesting, I love how Moriarty’s idea of phone sex is teasing Sherlock with clues. This is a lovely piece.
Look Out, I’m Moving by quamquam20
Summary: “I love watching the noble ones fall apart. And they always do.”
Pairing: Sherlock/Moriarty
Rating: NC-17 (?)
The Verdict: I love how Jim takes Sherlock apart so thoroughly in this. It’s dark and creepy and sexy. These two are such a guilty pleasure for me.
Sherlock’s Military Kink by kirakira_nanoda
Summary: PWP Sherlock won’t let John take his dog tags off during sex
Pairing: John/Sherlock
Rating: NC-17
The Verdict: I have such a military kink it’s not even funny. Two boys in army uniforms walked past me in town and my heart rate went through the roof. Conclusion: this fic is relevant to my interests.
Sherlock’s Military Kink: Uniform by kirakira_nanoda
Summary: John’s uniform does still fit… he decides to indulge in a little role play.
Pairing: John/Sherlock
Rating: NC-17
The Verdict: Intended as a sequel to Sherlock’s Military Kink but works just as well as a standalone. If anyone wants me, I’ll be in my bunk.
Vox by quamquam20
Summary: John has a bit of a thing for Sherlock’s voice. Sherlock tells John explicitly what hes going to do to him.
Pairing: John/Sherlock
Rating: NC-17
The Verdict: John isn’t the only one with a bit of a thing for Sherlock’s voice. It’s not difficult to imagine that voice being able to talk almost anyone to orgasm. Aural sex indeed.
