The Seduction of Dr. John Watson by XistentialAngst (Mature)

Hi, I'm Cloudtrader and I'll be posting Sherlock recs here this month. Hope you enjoy them!

Fandom: SHERLOCK
Pairing: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Length: 19,264 words
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: XA's blog on Tumblr
Why this must be read:
This is a superbly written story, with some very interesting characterization. From the author's summary, it sounds like it should be cracky and humorous, and while it is funny in places, XA manages to write the premise extremely well. I adored the scenes with Irene, too.

Author's Summary: John finally convinces Sherlock that he needs sex and that if he keeps sabotaging his love life with women, it'll be a deal-breaker. Sherlock goes through his deductive process and decides that he himself will have to provide John with sex if he's to keep John from marrying and moving out. Unfortunately, Sherlock is an inexperienced seducer and John is totally straight. Sherlock goes to Irene for advice on seduction.
