ahhh! Lestrade! I'm all... lost for words. Poor Lestrade!

You paint such a clear picture in each one of these. I just want to find him and hug him! Well...find him and give him a bath and hug him...

[wastingyourgum]

Oh, that's coming - now John has found him (or maybe now they've found each other?) he has to do something with him...

But he has to do other things with him in another universe first ;)

I love forward to both 'things' and, indeed, 'other things' with much impatience and enthusiasm! :)

[elfbert]

err..look forward, even. Love to look forward? Will love? I can't imagine why my brain would supply the word 'love' there at all, really can't.

Thank you!

I'm sure Sherlock just bltihely assumed Lestrade would be fine. Why wouldn't he be?

And now Sherlock's engineered John's discovery of Lestrade's current state, hopefully John can help Lestrade on his way back - any maybe help himself at the same time...

Oh, this is wonderful and terribly sad...and I'm so glad you have a sequel planned...I admit, my main concern at the end of TRF was how things were going to go down for Lestrade...and this is both believable and tragic...well done

Holy hell Greg :(
I get in line for bathing and hugging him. Really, if we all had our way, that man would be the cleaner than clean by the end of it.
Now John, do something. Help!

I really adore the way you write btw. I just flows and feels so right and IC. (and given the (imo) huge OCCnes in this fandom that is probably the biggest compliment I can give)

And another random note, this is my personal worst case scenario as to what might happen to Greg after The Fall. I don't know, since we didn't get to see him at the end of the Reichenbach episode... so much could have gone wrong for him. I'm kinda worried about my favorite character.

I need to learn to leave shorter comments, sorry

Aaaaakkkkkkk! This is very well-written, and boy does it hurt my heart!
