Perseverance (1/7)

BBC Sherlock

Rating 15 (swearing, implicit slash)

Summary: Greg Lestrade is a very patient man. Just as well, when it's so hard to get together with Mycroft Holmes.

This was inspired by Second Skin's Persuasion, and started off as a prequel and remix of that. It has ended up much, much longer...

Note: The chronology of Series 2 is notoriously dodgy. This fic assumes that Scandal takes place in April 2010-Summer 2011, Hounds in Summer 2011 and Fall in Spring-Summer 2012.

Betaed by the wonderful Small Hobbit.

( "You can't help who you fall for," Greg's Nan told him when he was sixteen. "You can help what you do about it." )
