Ah! I found a few while I was doing a fic rec list! They’re not really “papa” Lestrade, but they’re from his POV and he’s concerned about them :D
It Was All Right There In Front of Him (A Five Times Plus One Story) by bees_stories (T, 3,191 w. || 5+1, Protective Idiots, Grooming, Bed Sharing, Lestrade POV) – DI Greg Lestrade is a good detective. But sometimes he doesn’t trust the evidence in front of him, until there’s a compelling reason to do so.
In Which Lestrade Looks in on Sherlock and Observes by Aztecwarfareandcrumping (K+, 1K+ w. || Lestrade POV, Friendship, Hurt Comfort, John Whump) – John’s in hospital, which means Sherlock is, too. Lestrade takes it upon himself to look in on them.
The Dying Detective Remix by SailorChibi (K, 6K+ w. || Friendship & Family) – No one hates admitting illness or wounds more than Sherlock… perhaps that’s why no one believes him when he actually gets sick. Fortunately, when he can’t do it himself any longer, John and Lestrade are there to pick up the slack. Features Paternal!Lestrade and Gen John and Sherlock. One-shot.
Waiting and Recovery by A Wandering Minstrel (K+, 3K+ w. || H/C, Friendship) – Lestrade waits for news of Sherlock and John at the hospital. Mrs. Hudson looks after her boys. Two companion pieces.
Wreckage and Rubble by grannysknitting (K+, 1K+ w. || Drama, H/C, Ambiguous Ending) – Lestrade’s point of view when he’s called to the wreckage of the pool. He doesn’t want to deal with the wreckage that would occur if London’s newest crime fighting duo are parted from each other.
Defining John Watson by StillWaters1 (K+, 660 w. || Friendship) – "Not good?“ Two words and Lestrade realized just who John Watson actually was.
The Art Of Communication by StillWaters1 (T, 2K+ w. || Friendship, H/C) – Lestrade was used to getting odd, non sequitur texts from Sherlock. But when “John went out for milk” was followed by a terse “two hours ago,” Lestrade immediately understood three things: John was missing, Sherlock was quietly panicking, and this could all end very, very badly.
Listening By Ear by StillWaters1 (T, 3K+ w. || Friendship, H/C, John Whump) – Lestrade figured that anyone who thought John Watson wasn’t important, and that Sherlock hadn’t changed since meeting him, had to be completely, bloody deaf. Because it was all right there, in every sound Sherlock made. For anyone attentive enough to listen.
