Perseverance (7/7)

[marysutherland]

BBC Sherlock

Rating 15 (swearing, implicit slash)

Summary: Greg's plan to win Mycroft is obviously illegal and stupid. Good job he's got some help...

Note: much of this chapter runs in parallel to the fic that inspired it (Second Skin's Persuasion), and may make more sense if read alongside it.

Betaed by the wonderful Small Hobbit.

Awww. So romantic. Breaks my heart that Greg would stand there and wait. Amazing proof of his love.

Mycroft coming home so broken and the comfort is there. Sounds like he has decided and there will be no more delay.

This is def. a favorite on my marysutherland shelf, a leatherbound volume, much thumbed.

Thank you for taking some of your summer to write and post.

I'm glad you enjoyed it - a lot of the credit, especially for this last section, should go to Second Skin, whose story started off with Greg's patient waiting. She set the mood for the whole piece and then I just had to write 20,000 words to explain how Mycroft and Lestrade got there.

A very enjoyable end to a lovely series.
