I missed this comm so much! How is everyone doing? Here, have a fic to show how happy I am to be back in the world of the Interwebs!
I've lost my feel for LJ's posting limits, so since my A/N is so long I've separated it from the rest. Story begins in the next post. It's unfinished, but I will be working on it. I have at least twice the amount written than I'll be posting right now, I just need to fill in more connecting scenes to get to where I can post more.
Apologies for the long-windedness and references to older fics that I've taken down. (Not that many people seemed to mind them missing.) Rest assured knowledge of those old stories makes no difference in understanding or enjoying this one.
Summary: Sherlock, long teetering toward a nervous breakdown, finally reaches a point at which he must admit he can't bear to keep John at arm's length anymore. He's been ignoring his infantile side far more than necessary for work and now it's pushing to the forefront out of sheer desperation while his mind also demands the comfort and security of having a 'Daddy' or 'caretaker'. Will John catch on to the hints Sherlock can no longer help dropping in time to keep the lonely detective from completely self destructing? Moreover, will John be willing to help once he discovers Sherlock's peculiar needs?
Rating: R (not really any hard slash yet, but might get there eventually.)
