Fic: Transition 10/12 (Like my own Rubicon)

[fennishjournal]

Titel: Transition (10/12)
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: This is the breaking point. Or is it?
“This is not working!” Greg yells as he slams the cupboard door shut.
“This is not working!” John sighs as he makes his way down the stairs.
“This is not working!” Sherlock hisses as he angrily throws himself on the couch.

Spoilers: this is set immediately after the end of season 2
Warnings: none
Words: 5403 (this chapter)
A/N: A world of thanks is due to lostgirlslair who made sure the emotional trajectories of all four relationships made sense and Sherlock got his fair share of attention and to pennypaperbrainwho heroically speed-betaed in a pinch and pointed out important fits and starts in the story-telling. You are both absolutely brilliant!
All remaining mistakes are my own.
