Why this must be read:

This fic is the opposite of virginal!Sherlock fic. But so much more. Okay, so Sherlock has slept with a lot of people, what's different about John? So many things, as it turns out, but the real epiphany is from John's POV, and it hits like a hammer. The writing is top-notch, the dialogue is convincing and the sex is sexy.

There are also insights like this:

"Even if I had no experience with other people, I still would have had ideas, thoughts, concepts of sex. In our society, surrounded by media that uses sex as both currency and product, it would be impossible not to have some preconceived ideas about sex. No one enters their first sexual relationship without some idea, some concept of what it should be and should mean. There is no blank page waiting for your desires to be written out in indelible ink; no complete innocent to be shaped by your needs alone." ~Sherlock

Ooooh, I love this one! My delicious rec for it is "The one where John's assumptions about Sherlock's history, both sexual and personal, were completely wrong and it takes him a long time to figure out exactly how -- but watching him figure it out, watching them come to understand each other, makes for one of the best romances I've ever read." It is so wonderful.
