Sherlock went with Greg to celebrate Mack’s graduation. It’s a grand affair with lots of extended family members and friends that all want some of Greg’s attention. The day after the party, as the family goes on different tours, Greg surprises Sherlock with an outing of their own. In the evening, yet another boys’ night out has Sherlock bored and flirting with a willing stranger. He ends up attracting the full attention of a silver fox.

Coming to AO3 on February 8. This is a complete story.

Pushed out of my comfort zone by a dare from @loveismyrevolution, I ended up writing a story for Greg (please check out her sexy houseboat owning Greg in “Shatter Me” on AO3). It is a slooow burn Greglock (Sherstrade). It’s also a Series 3 fix-it, and I had lots of fun writing it! Even though my true OTP is and will always be Johnlock, I’ve decided to post it. Let me know if you want to read along! I understand if it’s not your cup of tea, just say the word.

Here goes a teaser,

-Hello to you, too sunshine! Where have you been?

-Lestrade, tell me your lackey was right and you are in Clapham. SH

-In wedding dress hell. Mary has horrid taste and wants dresses that make her look like a giant tuna. John is no help at all, looking like a collared dog all the time. SH

-That bad huh?

-Worse. I’m done. I can’t possibly take this anymore today. Come and get me out of here before I tell Mary what I think about her in any of these dresses that cost more than John makes in a year. SH

-I’m supposed to be going straight to court to oversee some proceedings with a couple of new officers. You would have to come with me and behave. I’ll say you’ve been called as a witness.

-Whatever, just come get me out. SH

ooOooOooOoo

So Greg arrived in his official car, and his suit (ill fitting suit, the genius had said). As he entered the store John saw him, smiling instantly “Hi there Greg! What brings you here? New case?” he smiled hopefully.

“Hey mate! Big day getting closer?” Greg smiled back “No new case, sorry. I came for Himself, need him to come to the courts with me. Where is he?”

So John pointed to Sherlock, who was standing behind Mary, pulling at the fabric around her waist and talking with her, as his legs did that nervous dance they did whenever he had to listen to something boring. Sherlock saw him in the mirror and he let a breath out, his shoulders relaxed and his legs stilled. He said something to Mary, who turned around, annoyed.

He walked hurriedly towards Greg. “Let’s go Gavin.”

John muttered, “You guys are not leaving me alone here, come on!”

“Um, this isn’t a case you were on, mate. Sorry, but can’t get you into court. Next case, alright?” answered Greg.

Mary came hurrying over in a robe “Oh no no no, Inspector! You can’t take Sherlock now! We have other boutiques to go to! I have to pick my gown today!”

“Hello Mary. Sorry to intrude on such an important decision, but Sherlock here has to come with me. Unfortunately, it will probably be a long while til we are done. The Groom will have to step up!” Greg said, clapping John on the shoulder. John looked at him with the eyes of a kicked puppy. “You two have fun! Come on, Your Majesty.”

“Thank you Greg. I think it is not too much to say I believe you have saved if not my life, my sanity. I can not understand the thought process of a woman about to get married. Everything is of heightened importance and everything must be done as she says. Really! How can John tolerate this? I am thankful I will never have that problem!” Sherlock rubbed his temples, toed his shoes off and stretched his legs, moving the seat back and reclining.

Tagging some lovely readers. If you want to give the story a chance, let me know, I’ll tag you. If not, that’s cool, your name will be untagged.
