"Open Season" on Lestrade = possible whumpage, violence, H/C

[anonymous]

Lestrade's made a lot of enemies in his time. Criminal enemies. After Sherlock's fall, the sensationalist media plays up Lestrade's disgrace and suspension from his position (along with plenty of photos), and some of those enemies realise that Lestrade is now a man alone, without the Yarders behind him, without so much as a baton for self-defence. In fact, it actually would solve some of the problems faced by the Met's senior leadership if Lestrade just... disappeared.

I'd like to see who (if anyone) realises how vulnerable Lestrade is and tries to watch out for him, before it's too late.

Whumpage, violence, and darkfic don't scare me. ;)

Fill: Everything You Know I Haven't Got, 15/15

[anonymous]

In the corner of the hospital room, Mycroft Holmes angled his phone just so, took a digital photo, and sent it on its circuitous and encrypted way. The number to which he forwarded the picture would be changed within the next thirty-six hours; the recipient it represented was identified only by the title "Unknown Caller" in Mycroft's list of contacts

Thank you, thank you, Anon!

This is all I could've hoped for and more. Here at the end, I especially love the contrast between the awkward and understated alliance in the scene between Mycroft and John and the cool, practical "I'll send them a message" interaction between Mycroft and Sherlock (I mean, these are the good guys, and they're talking about eliminating people, and it's perfectly IC). Protective!Mycroft is as awesome as cold-blooded!Mycroft, and the balance here is just right. His concern and John's for the awesome Lestrade, who's so alone, is the best. I love this! THANK YOU.

I'm so happy (and so relieved!) that this worked for you. Thank you very much for the lovely feedback. I'm particularly pleased that the balance between the "c" in h/c and the threat (not only from the baddies, but also from the Holmes brothers) worked for you.

This was so much fun to write. I'm grateful for the awesome prompt. :D

Fantastic story, excellent action, and seeing these three in this situation is unusual and well done.

I totally did not expect it to end with Sherlock. That was an awesome twist.

I kind of hanker to see their household set up after this. :)

Oh, thank you so much! I'm so happy that you liked this. And it's great to hear that you didn't see the bit with Sherlock coming at the end. That makes my day.

I kind of hanker to see their household set up after this. :)

Oh gosh: stubbornrecovery!Lestrade, medicalBAMF!John, and scaryprotective!Mycroft. I can only imagine. That's quite a potent combination! :)

I'm really grateful for your kind words. Thanks again for reading!

P R O M P T ! !

And fussyworriedfrustrated!Sherlock, trying to caretake and scold from afar.

That would be a great story. *thinks about it*

Eeeeeeeeee! *flails* Sherlock, and Moran, and Mycroft - his trust and his word, and "constantly" and and and....

(Honestly, I've reread this section three times, and still can't manage a coherent response. I've enjoyed this story so much! Like the other anon, I'd love to see more, if you ever feel like writing it.)

Oh, you've made my day, dear Anon! *flails back*

I'm really tickled that you liked Mycroft, in particular, as well as the facts that Sherlock was watching and Moran was involved.

It's fantastic to hear there's interest in more. I'm most grateful for your encouragement!

Thanks again for reading and for your lovely comments. :D

Holy Crap this was amazing! Your characterization was spot on and the intrigue! *fans self* Unfortunately this post will be far too short to convey my admiration. I simply do not possess the words. I will, as others have posted, have to hunt down and read every fic you've written. Am I a terrible person for saying I wanted more of the boot scene with John being a BAFM!doctor?

Re: Revised and Expanded "Everything You Know I Haven't Got"

[morganstuart]

Oh, thank you so much for this! I'm absolutely delighted that the characterisations seemed right and that you liked the intrigue here. You've made my day! I appreciate your kind words more than I can say.

I adore BAMF!doctor John (and stoic!patient Lestrade, for that matter). It put a huge grin on my face to hear you liked that part in particular and wanted more.

If you read any of my other stories on my LJ, I do hope you enjoy them. Thanks again for your encouragement and kindness.
