Previous 221b: Cunning as a fox


Today's prompt: burn

________________________________________________

Slash and burn


Desire is a curious thing. Sometimes it burns slow and steady and sometimes it rushes up in you like a wildfire.

Sherlock closed his eyes because now was most certainly not the time to ponder about the different shades of desire, not while he was bound to a broken radiator in a mouldy cellar and John was fighting with a man holding a rather impressive knife.

John stood there, confident and looking almost relaxed but Sherlock knew that he was as alert as a predator. The man laughed and asked John what he thought he was doing. John’s eyes turned dark and he growled, “You took something that’s mine. I’m taking it back.”

Sherlock felt another sudden surge of lust go through him and suddenly he understood why so many babies were born nine months after a war.

Suddenly it was over. The man fell to the ground unconsciously and John rushed over to free Sherlock.

The moment Sherlock was free, John pushed his tongue into Sherlock’s mouth like he was still conquering ground, not yet finished doing the taking, and Sherlock moaned, ready to be conquered and taken.

Some of the best sex they'd ever had happened while they were both high on adrenaline and suddenly Sherlock thought that he wouldn’t even mind doing it in this dirty and damp basement.


Next 221b: The lovers' dance (2/3)


------------------
AN:
The prompt was 'burn'.

FYI:
This series now has a title (An almost gravitational pull) and will be renamed eventually! I'm going to mention it a few times so that everybody has a chance to see it and not be confused. ;)

I said it before but I say it again: your fics are so educational. I didn't know what "slash and burn" means in English. Now I know it. Thank you for this nugget of knowledge. I think this is the most important thing about this 221B. *lies shamelessly*

John’s eyes turned dark and he growled, “You took something that’s mine. I’m taking it back.”
Raaaah (this is a "raaaah" of lust), I LOVE possessive!John. Or possessive!Sherlock, I'm not demanding. (What?) Also, I'd be really disappointed if you told me that, actually, it's John's favourite jumper that the guy stole and that John wants to get back.

The moment Sherlock was free, John pushed his tongue into Sherlock’s mouth like he was still conquering ground, not yet finished doing the taking, and Sherlock moaned, ready to be conquered and taken.
I'm not keen on war books usually but I think I could enjoy this story. Which leads me to...

I WANT THE SEQUEL!!! (I imagine your surprise, yes. :D)

Your 221b's are like a roller coaster! :D
Yesterday the fox-story (which was really brilliantly done) was animalistic, funny and written from a fresh perspective. And today you throw us in a dirty basement full of lust, humanity, danger and desire. Oh I love it!

I really like the perspective on this one, too...Sherlock's "inappropriate" thoughts are wonderful—and the reasons for them real and so human. This is life-affirming AND sexy!

Well, I'd say this is one more proof that these two are forces of nature and definitely pulling towards each other :)

Why isn't there more fanart for your stories?
Hm, ... it might be, because you manage to paint the most vivid pictures with so few words.

I'm probably not popular enough. *shrugs*

Oh, I highly doubt THAT!
If I could draw at least moderately well, I would try to capture your stories in pictures. And indeed, I dare say I will try it, once I find the time and the courage to try drawing again.

This is nothign to do with the fic (which is brilliant as always ;D), but do you watch Doctor Who?

I feel like you'd do a brilliant job writing DW fics as well as Sherlock... ;)

Ooh, I love Doctor Who! 9 and 10 especially.

What makes you think I'd be good at writing DW fic? *is intrigued*

I can just see you having a really good grasp on Ten and Jack... (who are, after all, my DW OTP...)

You have a real talent for writing, (smut especially... hehe), and I can see the humour and playfulness that your Sherlock and John sometimes show coming through particularly well for Ten with any of the companions, but especially with Jack.

OMG Such a good one. Definitely a fave. So very very definitely.

I loved the tension and the thrill and I love how I could feel myself the rush of adrenaline and the surge of lust.

Wouldn't mind feeling their tongues either but oh well

Thanx for this delight!
