Excerpt: “Nothing ever happens to me,” John said, meeting his therapist’s detached gaze. He could look someone straight in the eye and not give away a thing. The skill had been as valuable in his career as when he played poker. Ella glanced down to scratch at her notebook. She had perfected the same technique.

John looked beyond her. Outside the firmly closed windows, bare tree branches scratched at the pale grey page of the sky.

"Anymore," he added silently.

Title: Wrapped Around Your Finger
Author: mojoflower
Status: 4/4
Characters and Pairings: Sherlock/John
Rating: Explicit
Warnings:  Sex!  If you need a warning for that.  Little bit manipulative and dub!con, not quite underage, but a vast age/experience difference
Length: 27k
Summary: Virgin!Sherlock, 18 and just out of school, is in Morocco in the early 1900's to learn about the ways of the world.  Dr. John Watson, lately invalided from the British Army at age 36, picks him up in the local bazaar.  Lessons (you know what kind!) are taught and absorbed.  Inspired by the song Wrapped Around Your Finger by The Police.  I'd say PWP except there's a soupcon of plot, given that it's a story worked around the lyrics of the song.

**I apologize if I'm spamming your f'list with all the cross-posting!
*** The setting of this story is based on my having misheard a line of this song for my ENTIRE FUCKING LIFE, until I just now looked up the lyrics. The line I heard was "Hid in the casbah, you with passion linger". The actual line is, "Hypnotized by you if I should linger." I actually like my version better.  I tried for like 5 minutes to find the lyrics that mentioned the Casbah before I had to give in and realize it was my own personal "wrapped up like a douche" moment.
***John is a bit morally gray in this story. He takes distinct advantage of someone much younger than he (Sherlock is 18, and John is in his mid 30s), and the consent is a bit blurry. I'm just saying. But, hey, it's PWP, more or less. In spite of my best efforts, a happy ending will be had by all.

Fairy tales are for those who remember how to dream;  not John Watson, broken and hiding from his bleak future in a beige bedsit.  But then he discovers a lamp and finds himself in the dangerous riptide of an enigmatic man whose very existence is unbelievable, murder charges against his sister, and the growing pains of feeling alive once more.

Summary:: It is a well-known fact that Dr John Hamish Watson has trust issues. What most people fail to realise is that there are two sides to every coin, and that every phrase has a double meaning. And Sherlock Holmes? Well. Let’s just say he has trust issues of his own.

Author's Notes:  This is in response to a prompt made on my tumblr by maladroitoracle  Any chance of you continuing that Sherlock Christmas fic? I love reading about Sherlock's mother but I'd be happy with anything you wrote! 

The fic referred to in the prompt is here on LJ and here on AO3.    You probably should read that one first to know what's going on.  But not to worry, that one is nowhere near the monster that this one is.

Sherlock should be focusing on the series of brutal vivisections Lestrade has brought to him.

And does he need help in order to do it? An AU. Eventual Johnlock.
