Looking for a boxing/gambling fic

[vsee.livejournal.com]

I've read, and adored, at least two stories about arrangements between Holmes and Watson for Watson to place bets on him in boxing matches. I can't find one particular story in this theme again, and it's driving me crazy. It was a longer story that had Watson placing bets on him on an ongoing basis. Holmes is on a winning streak, and each time he wins, Watson takes him upstairs to the rented room above the boxing ring to "thank" him for his winnings. I think this was a first time story, and they didn't have a sexual relationship outside of the arrangement. I think inevitably he loses, and there some some hurt!Holmes and some hurt/comfort.

I really hope someone can remember this.

Found! This story is Don't Fall So Far (Next Time) .

Oh, I had no idea that I could ask over there. I love the results of the kinkmeme, but it sometimes feels like a black hole into which much awesome, awesome fic falls.

Anyway, it turns out that this story is Don't Fall So Far (Next Time) (http://community.livejournal.com/fic_flail/117961.html).

I am giddy over reading it again.

Thanks for your help.

Hmm, is it Don't Fall So Far (Next Time) (http://community.livejournal.com/fic_flail/117961.html)?

Yes, it is! You are my hero! (yes, yes, yes *crazy victory dance*)

Considering what I can remember about this fic, I am very surprised that I did not remember the initial hook of the story, what Watson was doing to put all of this into motion in the first place.

Thank you so much for the help.
