Summary
They'd never talked about sex in the year they'd known each other. Well, that wasn't quite correct: Sherlock had never said a word about sex; John had bemoaned his personal dearth of it on many occasions.

SEXUAL EXPLORATION — Kink with plot. Sherlock is bored and, after accidental prompting on John’s part, begins a sex experiment (not even remotely cracky, despite what it sounds 😂). This sex experiment goes through various stages. But it very quickly begins to center around John and his reaction to sexual stimuli (while Sherlock watches).
THOUGHTS — Not at all what I expected, but I loved it! I’m not usually into Dom/Sub fics (although this one, which is less about bondage and pain play is definitely easier to swallow for me) or fics that are heavily sexually-driven. But this is done very well. That is, the kinks are connected to the character development of both Sherlock and John — which is great fun to watch. The story is well written too, and very realistic (on point characterization-wise, that’s for sure). The UST is strong between actual JohnLock, which seems ridiculous to say considering the amount of sex in this 😂, but well worth it.
Would definitely read this again. The fight to the end is definitely worth it, in any case. Burning UST or not. I kind of wish there were more of the JohnLock bits. Or the after 🤔 which is rare for me. I usually also dislike sequels. The fact that I’m looking for one that just say a lot about this fic and this author I suppose!

P.S. -- There's an 'Alternative POV version of this that is in all Sherlock's POV. [https://archiveofourown.org/works/375433] I read it after this. But. I think it might be enjoyable to read first next time (since it has all the details). This version is good if you're in it for the surprise. The Alternate version if you're in it for the character development (specifically, Sherlock's).
