Why this must be read: Sherlock checks in to an exclusive hotel that caters to a specific clientele, investigating a crime at Mycroft's behest. As his brother raved about the establishment and is paying for his stay, Sherlock decides to sample the hotel's wares and selects a sub for the night; a broken, ex-Army doctor named John.

If BDSM stories aren't your thing, it's best to skip this one but you'll be missing out on a neat little mystery and some keen character insights. (Even if it's an AU, Sherlock and John are still very much themselves.) The sex scenes are robust, Sherlock's deductions ring true, the dialogue is cracking and, best of all, we're treated with a happy ending. What more could you ask for? (Besides a sequel, that is.)
