pennypaperbrainMy fic Points of Light got accidentally wiped off AO3 after building up 14k hits, so I’m reposting a chapter a day in the hope that new readers will be interested, or rereaders decide to take another look. Here’s chapter 1.
Title:Points of Light Chapter 1 (follows on from a prologue)
Author:pennypaperbrain
Beta: Chloe andeldritchhorrors
Fic rating: NC-17
Fic warnings: suicidal thoughts, explicit consensual BDSM in a romantic, equal relationship
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Wordcount: 2882 for this chapter; about 16,000 for the completed fic
Spoilers: First three episodes
Disclaimer: I don’t own any of these characters. I couldn’t be trusted with them. There’d be kinky slash everywhere.
Chapter Summary: Although neither Sherlock nor John are poster boys for healthy adjustment, they’ve each learnt to survive on their own. But when they meet, they start to realise there may be a better way to live.
Fic Summary: I like fennishjournal's mini-review better than I like my own original summary, so here it is: 'John and Sherlock are broken but their jagged edges fit together in a way that is almost painfully right. This is intense and powerful and desperate. There is a scene where John tops the fuck out of Sherlock and, dear God, is it ever intense.'
There's BDSM in the mix, so that needs to go in the headers, but it's not the main focus of the fic. It's a relationship study, in which sex is a significant element but far from being the sole theme. It's about needing something right down to the bottom of your soul, and perhaps eventually getting it.
