221b_recsTitle: "my heart pumps yet the poison"
Author:coloredink / wreathsandbells
Pairing: John, Sherlock, Irene Adler (see more in reccer's comments below)
Length: 4,433
Rating: Mature
Warnings: None for this comm, though I recommend that you read the author's tags on AO3.
Spoilers: for "A Scandal in Belgravia".
'Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: "Hit me." Sherlock cocked his head at John and gave him a thin, devilish smile. "We’ve been through this once already. Don't tell me you don't want to."
Reccer's comments: I love it when an author takes something small but canonical and explodes it, ascoloredink has done here, into something devastating and wholly believable as part of the character's off-screen lives. In this case, coloredink takes several tiny bits of canonical violence that tremble right on the edge of disturbing and weaves them together into something that's simultaneously funny and hot and pretty damn messed up, within bounds that are both entirely plausible and very unexpected. This story doesn't fit nicely into a "slash" or "gen" or "het" box, which makes it about a thousand times more interesting.
Link: Here on AO3.
