Fics like The Sociology Experiment (Or, How Sherlock Holmes Lost to a Textbook)

It starts with a book. A completely ordinary, perfectly harmless sociology textbook. John found it among his old things, a relic from university, and—naturally—dares Sherlock to read it. Sherlock, unwilling to back down from any challenge, accepts. Big mistake. What follows is two hours of Sherlock arguing with a textbook, Somewhere between monarchy and autocracy, marriage and culture, kinship and social control, Sherlock Holmes realizes he is in love with John Watson. At 4:30 A.M., he wakes John up, kisses him, and asks if they’re a family. Unfortunately for Sherlock, Mycroft hears about it. And he brings gifts. Sherlock loses the battle with a book, loses the war, and somehow gains a boyfriend. But he absolutely refuses to admit that sociology might have had something to do with it.
