Why this must be read:

The key to this rec is that lettered writes girl!Sherlock so brilliantly, your jaw will drop. John is very casual about trying not to be attracted to her, but you can imagine what it must be like for the poor bloke when she's wandering around half-clothed and being inscrutable and incredibly brilliant. Read, and marvel:


She did not mind John looking at her, but she minded him looking away. It was more difficult trying to tell if people were hiding something if they were already trying to hide something. Not that John often lied, but he sometimes did and that was interesting, very interesting; it wasn’t as interesting when he was looking away or off in his room or distracted because of something so utterly tedious as John happening to catch sight of her breasts.

So Sherlock added a vest to the pyjama bottoms and dressing gown combination, how wearisome, but John didn’t complain about the bones or the beetles or the barnacles, and he stopped looking away, and he never commented on the vests being his (too short), so she guessed that was that.

Distractions, texted Mycroft.

I don’t get distracted, texted Sherlock.

I didn’t mean you.
