Relationships: Sherlock/John
Summary: Sherlock goes undercover at a psychiatric hospital for a new case. For John and Sherlock it's the start of an unforeseen, emotional adventure that has far-reaching consequences for their relationship.
======
Each one of this author's stories is so special, with a focus on some particular area/topic/hobby that is in itself fascinating but also somehow connects to John and Sherlock and brings them together. In the first two fics I translated by ampersand, that was erotic photography and martial arts. In this one, it's Celtic traditions and sex therapy, and what a combination that turns out to be! As you might imagine, it's a very sexy story for that reason, but it's also emotionally draining, keeping both the characters and the reader on a knife's edge throughout. The angst and tension - both from the case and the relationship - is maintained at a sky-high level, leading to an explosive revelation that turns the entire story inside-out. With a serial killer, erotic massage, art therapy, a Celtic coven, the reappearance of Sholto, lies, lies, and more lies. And quite a lot of truth.
