rusty_armour: (friendship)


Title: Plummet
Author: Rusty Armour
Fandom: Sherlock
Characters: Lestrade, John, Sherlock, Donovan
Category: General, friendship, angst, hurt/comfort
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 4,056
Summary: The fall had been inevitable, but Lestrade hadn’t expected anyone to catch him when it happened.
Spoilers: Sherlock in general, I suppose.
Notes: This story was written for [livejournal.com profile] fengirl88 to celebrate her LJ’s first birthday, though the fic is incredibly late. It’s also not quite what I promised. I was supposed to write John/Lestrade slash. In fact, I had the whole thing mapped out in my head and had even done a bit of research on civil partnership (for a Lestrade backstory). Then, one Saturday morning, I was lying in bed when this one image flashed inside my head and started forming into an idea. That idea coalesced with some other ideas I’d been toying with, so I ended up with one idea and one story. It was a story that refused to leave me alone, and I knew I had to write it. I explained the situation to [livejournal.com profile] fengirl88, asking her how upset she would be if the promised story wasn’t slash, but a John/Lestrade friendship fic of the angst and hurt/comfort variety. Fortunately, she said she would be happy with any John/Lestrade story. I hope she still feels the same way after reading this.

I owe a HUGE debt of gratitude to [livejournal.com profile] grassle for the EXCELLENT Britpick and beta. She really helped me a lot.

Disclaimer: With great power comes great responsibility. Thankfully, I have neither. Sherlock and its characters are owned by other people, though I feel fortunate to have been allowed to play in this wonderful sandbox.
