Experimental Repeatability
Luke is in love with his best friend, Eric, and always has been. When he and Eric get drunk on the last night of exam week and Eric suggests he sleep over rather than walk home, Luke takes him up on it even though he's convinced Eric doesn't return his feelings. But when their tipsy pillow-talk turns steamy, Eric is horny and Luke just can't resist. The next morning Luke is mortified, certain he's ruined their friendship, but Eric isn't about to let him get away without facing the consequences.

In 2002, just after the release of The Fellowship of the Ring, Elinor discovered internet fandom, and with it the magic of fanfiction. She dwelt in the Lord of the Rings fandom for a long time, and followed it up with a stint in Pirates of the Caribbean. She took a break between 2005 and 2008, and returned to fandom upon her first viewing of Supernatural. This was her main fandom until about 2012, though it overlapped with her introduction to the 2009 Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes movies and the 2010 debut of the BBC’s Sherlock. Elinor fell head-over-heels for the Holmes canon fandom, and has been there ever since.
Elinor now writes primarily Holmes/Watson romance, although she can sometimes be persuaded to struggle through a case fic or toss out a little gen fic. All fanfic post-2009 can be found at Archive Of Our Own.
Elinor’s first published-for-pay work was a Sherlock Holmes pastiche featured in the Elementary Erotica anthology published by Circlet Press in 2011. Her original gay romance was not far behind. She has published primarily contemporary, new adult romance, but she hopes to expand more into her true genre loves: fantasy, sci-fi, westerns, and historicals.

I read this in one sitting. Couldn't put it down. It's sweet and hot and so fucking adorable I almost got tooth-ache reading it. It's short, but so much is implied between the lines about the friendship between Luke and Eric. I highly recommend this!

“I’m going to kiss you now,” Eric says, “and I’m going to mean it.” That line just made the book for me. I am a big fan of friends to lovers stories, and I especially appreciate when there is some uncertainty involved, which this story has.
Luke and Eric are best friends, have been for years. Luke has painfully watched Eric fall for other guys, never letting his feelings show because he doesn’t want to lose the friendship. When they have a drunken night out to celebrate the end of finals, Eric asks Luke to just spend the night. They sleep in the same bed, and have a grope session, which Luke then analyzes to death and completely freaks out about. It was a bit frustrating to see how much he was hurting Eric in his efforts to maintain some distance so things didn’t change.
It’s a short story, so it’s really just the span of a day, but it’s enough to show you where they begin. Very sweet and romantic.

Sweet story about two friends who are secretly in love with each other. One drunken night changes everything. Frankly, it's another friends-to-lovers story, nothing unusual here. Quite a lot of sex in this one, which considering the length of the story, is too much in my opinion. No traditional HEA, rather HFN.
Although I didn't enjoy this story as much as I would like, it was still quite a nice read.
