Why this must be read:

While going through some of Watson’s manuscripts, Holmes stumbles across one that was never meant for his eyes*, leading him to consider many questions. One in particular...

What would the very, very nice Doctor Watson do, he a man of the Hippocratic oath, if confronted by a lover who was excessively fond of pain? For Holmes knew his vices well, knew them by the list he had already worked his way down, beginning at the top with all the usual and common divertissements men of his sort indulged, and slowly lowering himself past those mundane activities with their small pleasures to the more complex patterns of sexuality which he himself found to be so…fascinating.

A long, lush, story about shifting boundaries and pleasant compromises.
