Ooooh, this is one of my favourite chapters so far!!! I recently read a lot of fics where I skipped the sex because it was just inserted into the story and felt boring, but this was soooo different. There was so much happening and it wasn't just sex for sex itself but it took the story further. Of course, I totally love all of Sherlock "Omg, I'll fuck this up so better enjoy it while it lasts" and ahahahahahaha, Sherlock's deduction about their sex life talk to move things along quicker. John's reaction was hilarious and I loved that despite it all he wasn't deterred. :D
Found this part really beautiful:
A future in which John lived here, with him, and they were on their way to bed – their bed - at the end of the evening.
John would use the bathroom first while Sherlock put on his pyjamas, and then Sherlock would take his turn while John got settled. And maybe Sherlock would wander back down to the living room if he still had something on that held his interest, or maybe he would slide into bed beside John; and then maybe they would make love, familiar and steady and still taking Sherlock's breath away. Or maybe they would turn the light off and Sherlock would tell John the things he'd discovered and thought about and wondered that day, and John would smile against his shoulder and tell him he was daft and mad and brilliant.
*happy sighs*
And Gladstone in the bedroom with them was funny! :D Loved Sherlock's reaction to John's scar and of course I giggled at the Princess Bride reference (and the earlier Inconceivable!). :D
Can't really do justice to this chapter but soooo enjoyed it!!! Thank you so much! I'll store this away to re-read when we get to the sad bits.
