(1/3) Not really a headcanon or a promt… Just sort of a little drabble for you:) Dark!Lestrade: “I never called you in on cases because I needed your help, though the image of the ‘bumbling DI who can’t even solve his own cases’ did help me stay hidden. I never needed your help because in many cases I was the one organizing the crime. No, Sherlock. I never called you in for the help. I called you in so that I could see how you work, what your limitations are, your weaknesses.
(2/3) I called you in so I could know exactly how to defeat the great Sherlock Holmes when time came to do so. And, after all these years, I know you better than you do. You’re clever, Sherlock. You really are. But not quite clever enough. And this little game of ours? The one you didn’t even know you were playing? I’m bored of it. It’s time to make a decision, Sherlock.
(3/3) Continue working for me, this time on the /fun/ side of justice, because you are a valuable asset and I’d hate to waste you, or get out of my way. Make your choice.”
Ahhhhh omg this is so perfect. <3 Thank you thank you thank you, sweet anon!
I’ve got such a soft spot for dark!Lestrade. :D
(Everyone can feel free to send me headcanons/your favourite ship/whatever you want! I love to hear what you all think, what your favourite things are, everything~ You're such lovely people!)
