Why this must be read: John Watson is sentenced to life in prison for accidentally killing a man. Within his first day inside he finds himself ensnared by fellow inmate Sherlock Holmes and soon John finds himself Sherlock's prison wife. All is not what it seems, however, and John finds himself to be a pawn in the middle of a deadly game Sherlock is playing. This is a powerful piece of writing;  the brutality of prison life isn't sugarcoated, but neither is it sensationalized. There's a terrific puzzle for us to observe Sherlock solve with plenty of twists and turns - not only in the case but in the relationship between the two men. It's one of those rather believable AU stories where our heroes are still at their core the men we know, love and respect but whose lives took a sharp turn leaving them to meet in wholly different circumstances. This is one of those rare stories that I've re-read a dozen times or so and it never fails to engross me. Give it a shot, won't you?

Sounds very interesting. Can I ask is the dub-con between Sherlock and John? That I could handle. Thanks.
