Very beautiful Johnlock story from hudders_and_hiddles. Very much recommended:

http://archiveofourown.org/works/4372328?view_adult=true

John and Sherlock tag along for the Met's weekly night out, where the evening's chosen drinking game is Never Have I Ever. Sherlock is reluctant to join in until he realizes he can learn all kinds of new things about John, but he forgets that John might learn a thing or two about him as well.

Oh yes, I've read that one. I loved it!

 

And downloaded. Sounds amazing. Thank you for the rec. 

Oh, wow, that was amazing. How can the use of a voicemail be so touching? Very clever, thanks for the rec, Keeper!

I think this has been never properly recommended. I just give you my comment on AO3 so you will know what to expect. It is long, a real novel, exquisite, original, very much AU and very beautiful.

Wow, just wow! This is one of my favourite fics ever. I admit I was hesitant because I could not imagine that geisha!lock would work for me - and was converted quickly. Such an original story, creating a whole dystopian world and then some. The idea of Xie and her Icehouse is so beautiful, the lovingly detailed descriptions of the costumes, not to mention the exquisite and heartbreaking love story. Kudos also for your John aka The Face who is a wonderful character. 
This was one of those stories I hoped would never end. Thank you so much for giving me a memorable reading experience.

I want to ask a question about that fic, I'll put it in spoiler tags just in case:

Is this Femlock or his Sherlock a man in this fic?

I'm asking because there is just some tags I won't read, and I would like to know if this is the case here.

Vhanja: no problem: 

It is definitely not femlock. Sherlock is a gay man who dresses professionally as a beautiful woman.    

Hope this helps. 

Tonnaree: Read this one until there is an update. It is amazing.

SusiGo: Thank you for replying. Gesihalock doesn't sound like it can work, however I've learned by now that there are a lot of odd AUs and tags that haven't sounded like they would work but has produced amazing fics. So I will put it in my bookmark and give it a go.

I just want to second a recommendation ukaunz made here about a year ago: Idle Hands.

Audio transcriber/signer John's final client of the day is a deaf Sherlock, who needs his help calling a sex hotline. It's an odd concept, but it works. Short, sweet and sexy.

The story is astonishing, beautiful, clever and heartbreaking. I'm nearing the end and thinking all the time about asking the author for her permission to translate the fic into my native Russian (which might be a little awkward technically because of all the Russian words used. Hmm).
