Why this must be read:
John is a vampire. Sherlock doesn't believe vampires exist. Sherlock is part of John's territory and John is very VERY territorial.
Vampire AUs are a common meme in practically every fandom and this one is bloody brilliant, with emphasis on both words. Bendingsignpost does a wonderful job of world building, with a unique and satisfying take on vampire physiology, psychology, and culture. Watching Sherlock discover and deduce that world is a pure delight. BAMF!John is a very dangerous vampire - and a definite turn on :-).
I hope this fic is the first in a series. You will too.
"Sherlock, I could hurt you."
"You're presenting this as new information. Why?"
John takes a quiet moment to fume. Then he says, "You didn't know. About me. Before."
"I knew you were dangerous," Sherlock replies. "I knew you were acclimatized to violence, have an unfaltering nerve, and illegally possess a firearm. I also knew you were willing to kill a man in cold blood to save my life. Even Mycroft approves of you. Your presence in my life is unquestionably beneficial. What else is there?"
"Well," John says, "I do happen to be a vampire, there is that."
"And you still yell at me for body parts in the fridge," Sherlock replies, as if this is the piece that doesn't make sense.
