I still love this story so much.

Greg's concerns are reasonable but in the end, he needs John and John needs him. They will find a way. They have to and for all our sakes, I hope it's soon.

Ooh, so much progress - Sherlock's talking sense into Lestrade (is this a first). I really like the way Sherlock understands Lestrade's reasons for keeping himself apart and carefully points out the flaws; really showing how much he himself cares for Lestrade.

And so much UST - if it doesn't end soon I think I shall burst.

And Sherlock's expression at being licked by Lestrade - the infamous spit on the handkerchief from your mother.

Another fabulous installment! :-D I love Lestrade's internal struggle against his desire for John. That conversation he has with Sherlock on the subject is great. I found it really touching that Sherlock wants Lestrade to stop pushing people away and let someone like John into his life. He makes some wonderful arguments and really drives the point home, especially here:

"Lestrade - you're trying to pretend you don't want a relationship with John so you can keep him safe, but any idiot can clearly see you already have a relationship with John - and me for that matter. It doesn't even matter that John and I know what you are. Even if we didn't, anyone watching you for more than five minutes would mark us both as potential leverage to use against you based solely on our friendships with you. You have so few relationships it's not really the strength of them that matters, just their existence. John, me, possibly Sergeant Donovan as well, are all already at risk ( ... )

You know it's never good when Sherlock gives you relationship advice! LOL!

Poor Greg! I understand he's afraid but Shurlock's right.

Here's hoping John gives him a THIRD chance.
