   Summary

   Greg Lestrade quit Scotland Yard after the Fall. One night he receives a text from someone he never expected to see again, and ends up being the one to help Sherlock recover from Serbia.

   Mycroft has cared for Gregory Lestrade for a long time. He cannot wait any longer, but the events of The Fall and the fallout after means he'll have to work to earn Greg's trust.

   Please note that I've updated the tags to "Mature" for some violence.
