Pairing: John/Sherlock
Length: Various, each part from drabble length up to 14K; total for the series as of this posting is 52K
Rating: PG for all parts so far
Warnings: None
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: Asexual!Sherlock/John. Author's summary for the first part: “In fact,” said Sherlock, finally sliding his phone away into his pocket, “I think I've worked out a solution to that.” He sat forward, putting his fingers together in a way that usually signified one of his more brilliant moments of genius. “We should get married.”
Reccer's comments: A wonderful offering from the well-known fandom authorflawedamythyst, this AU series (it was begun before series 2 aired and thus ignores Reichenbach) covers Sherlock and John's life together over the course of 30 years. The gist is that Sherlock and John get married, in all seriousness, even though Sherlock is asexual and John is heterosexual with a functioning libido.
The special thing about this series is how Sherlock and John settle into their marriage, how John's attitude in particular towards it evolves, what it shows about the deep bond between them that goes beyond the physical, and how they handle physical intimacy without betraying either of their fundamental natures. I especially like that Sherlock remains a true asexual and never negotiates physical favours that would make him uncomfortable.
Some of the parts are fluff, some made me ache, and some made me laugh out loud. You won't miss the smut, with all the wonderful feels this series brings.
