Domestic Abuse

[anonymous]

Lestrade's gay. Nobody knows - it's still pretty frowned upon in the police force and Sherlock honestly hasn't paid all that much attention to the DI's private life.

Despite this, there's no real problem. He's in a nice relationship and nobody's got any reason to suspect that something's up.

That is, until Lestrade start turning up to work with black eyes and split lips, and is acting rather skittish and seems really reluctant to go home. Then Holmes starts paying attention

Basically, I would like Lestrade to be in midst of an abusive relationship, Sherlock and John notice and as things begin to get really out of control, come to the rescue

John/Lestrade/Sherlock would be awesome but is up to you

I really really hope so :)
And you are most certainly doing the prompt justice - better than justice, this is like, above and beyond what I was expecting, so thank you again :)

His perpetual tension and dread of going home particularly ring true to me. And I love the thought that there are people eager to understand what's happening to him, who will help as soon as they know how.

Thanks! Really glad it works and is believable, since that was kind of a worry for me.

Thank you, glad you're enjoying it :D Next bit will be going up very soon!

Second Fill: Keeping Secrets (1/?)

[anonymous]

(please ignore above, I fail at posting today, we'll try again down here...)

First author anon is doing a fantastic job and I don't think this can live up to their fic, but they very kindly encouraged me to have a go at this prompt myself.
OP I hope you like this one too.

---There are times when Lestrade can see Sherlock's point about the competency of the police force, after all these people are paid to be detectives, to pay attention to details, and yet not one of them knows the first thing about each other. They know little things, they know about spouses or long term partners; they know who has kids and who supports which football team. But the big things; they're clueless when it comes to those. It works in his favour though, he doesn't have to work hard to keep his new relationship a secret, doesn't have to work at all in fact. As long as he doesn't come in and announce to the whole room that he's gay and has met someone new he's safe

OP

Ohhhhhh BRILIANT!

This is so good I'm...I...I can't really describe how happy I am I just really REALLy REALLY!!! Want you to update soon.
Please, I beg you...whatever you want it's all yours, seriously.

In summary, I'm waiting eagerly with more and am on standby if you ever need an organ transplant :)

Re: OP

[anonymous]

Aw thank you! I don't think I've ever been offered an organ before, always good to know in case of emergencies :)

More coming up in just a moment!

Re: Second Fill: Keeping Secrets (1/?)

[anonymous]

Yay! You did it! :D Really, really good - and never mind 'living up to' mine, yours way surpasses it. Can't wait for more! :D

Second Fill: Keeping Secrets (2/?)

[anonymous]

This part is quite short. But I want this and part 3 to be separate. All things being well part 3 will be up in the next couple of hours.

There is some description of domestic abuse and violence in this part. It's mild description, and I'm guessing the prompt makes that obvious, but I like to give some trigger warnings just in case.

---The time Paul throws a glass across the room comes as a shock. He knows Paul has a temper, the slamming door will attest to that, but he never expected it to go further than that. Paul is sorry afterwards though, so sorry, he clears the shards of glass up and apologises over and over. Lestrade apologises too, even though he can't really remember anything he'd done that could have provoked that kind of reaction

OP

[votesaxonx]

Oh please update really really soon, I am Really loving this.
Begs.
You're doing a fantastic job I can't wait to read more :)

Re: OP

[anonymous]

I'm glad you're enjoying this
Third part is up, fourth should hopefully be up tomorrow.

Second Fill: Keeping Secrets (3/?)

[anonymous]

He's not sure what it is that gives it away to Sherlock, he doesn't like to ask and, strangely, Sherlock doesn't tell him. He's been so careful to keep his sleeves pulled down over the marks on his wrist, and he thinks he's covered the slight limp almost perfectly. None of his colleagues have noticed, so he thought he was doing a reasonably good job. Not good enough to fool Sherlock though, he can feel the man assessing him as he glances up from the dead body on the floor in front of him - the second this week.

"Well, whoever gave you those cracked ribs is not the killer," Sherlock announces. "But then they never resist arrest if they're innocent, you'd better find out what they are guilty of

Re: Second Fill: Keeping Secrets (3/?)

[votesaxonx]

Most definetely looking forward to the fourth part :) This is so fantastic so far, seriously, they are quickly becoming the highlight of my day...what that says about me as a person, I'm not quite sure, but it is a sad fact.

So anyway - PLEEEEAAASE!!!! update soon, I'm waiting with bated breath :)

Re: Second Fill: Keeping Secrets (3/?)

[anonymous]

Sorry for keeping you waiting! Part 4 is up now though, probably another two or three parts to go now. I hope you still like it.

I wouldn't worry about what it says about you, what does it say about me that I'm writing this?
