Fic: Transition 9/12 (Emergence)
Titel: Transition (9/12)
Author: fennishjournal
Rating: NC-17
Fandom: Sherlock (BBC)
Pairing: John/Lestrade/Sherlock
Disclaimer: Arthur Conan Doyle invented them, Gatiss and Moffat created the AU we all fangirl and that this story is based on.
Summary: Sherlock comes back but that doesn't make everything OK. At least not all at once.
This tells the story of how Sherlock, John and Lestrade try to find a polyamorous set-up that works for them. Sherlock being Sherlock that is....not easy.
Chapter summary: They still have a serial killer to catch and the world is still a dangerous place, but the wonderful feeling of rightness, of puzzle pieces finally slotting together that John feels upon waking up like this stays with him all during the investigation.
Spoilers: this is set immediately after the end of season 2
Warnings: none
Words: 4110 (this chapter)
A/N: A world of thanks is due to who made sure the emotional trajectories of all four relationships made sense and Sherlock got his fair share of attention and to who heroically speed-betaed in a pinch and pointed out important fits and starts in the story-telling. Finally, was instrumental in figuring out the Sherlock/Lestrade part of this story. You are all absolutely brilliant!
All remaining mistakes are my own.
