Following the (Silver) Fox
Coming to AO3 on February 8. This is a complete story.
Pushed out of my comfort zone by a dare from @loveismyrevolution, I ended up writing a story for Greg (please check out her sexy houseboat owning Greg in “Shatter Me” on AO3). It is a slooow burn Greglock Series 3 fix-it, and I had lots of fun writing it! Even though my true OTP is and will always be Johnlock, I’ve decided to post it. Let me know if you want to read along! I understand if you want to skip it, just let me know.
Sherlock looked up, still confused, his brow still scrunched, his face, almost translucent in the mostly dark flat. “Lestrade? You are actually here?”
“Yes. You stayed over at my flat.” he reminded him.
Sherlock reached out and touched Greg’s chest with two fingers, rubbed the fabric of his cotton vest. Then he looked into Greg’s eyes. “You are real…” he said, his voice full of wonder.
“Ta for that. Real, yeah.” Greg smiled.
“Well Mind Palace Lestrade always has his ill fitting suit on. More hair too. You cut it too short Gustav.” Sherlock said.
“Ah you prick. Have half a mind to send Mind Palace Lestrade to make you a Mind Palace cuppa!” He said. “Are you hurting Sherlock? You seem like you could use some paracetamol.”
“Perhaps I can. But can you...stay a while. Things are still...fuzzy. You are real though?” Sherlock did in truth look confused.
Greg reached out and put his hand at the bottom of Sherlock’s neck, cupping it, thumb gently touching his curls. “Yeah real. I’m here mate, I got you.”
Sherlock’s hand went to the bottom of Greg’s vest, grabbed the edge of it and held on.
The next morning, as Greg painfully straightened up from his horrid sitting position on the side of the pullout, he knew by the stillness Sherlock had left.
So I’m tagging some WYTMH and TBOL readers, feel free to let me know if this is not your cup of tea, though if you have a friend you think may like it, please share!
