they both strike my fancy

they slapped the shit out of my fancy

my fancy now needs stitches and vicodin and few weeks off work

we could go on with this

two-boobs-johnson: could I maybe possibly request either a Sherlock and John bro-hug, or a Sherlock and Mycroft awkward-bro-hug? Whichever one strikes your fancy more, I suppose.

then there's the one that was somewhere in the middle, in s3e1 when lestrade hugged sherlock as in the one on the right, and sherlock tolerated it as in the one on the left.

Happy 14th anniversary of the first time we saw the modern (gorgeous) face of policing in an updated Sherlock

RETROSPECTIVE

Say what you want about BBC Sherlock, I absolutely freaking love the version of Lestrade we got - cause he's prolly the relatable realistic character in the show I could think of - he just wanted to get the job done and he was living that life where he was just looking to get that cleared out and just continue with the rest of the day - that is a total mood tbh - like yeah man - you go - And also like we didn't see a Lestrade that was grounded and less of a comic relief - so this was refreshing and also Rupert Graves!

Greg Lestrade is the most underrated character. He deserves more love, I mean just look at him.

Lestrade likeness practice

That's it. That's the joke.

"I promise, I didn't even bring these ones, they just keep showing up!"

Aways be prepared when coming to a crime scene.

Muffin is a great shoulder cat… One day he might even be a good one (he still puts claw marks all over Lestrade’s suits).

Lestrade's cat Willow is trying to tell him something. I wonder what?

A bit of breakfast for Lestrade and Kiki.

Lestrade mulls things over with his cat, Prosecco.

Rupert Graves Birthday 30 June

In honour of the inimitable Graves' version of DI Gregory Lestrade, I draw your attention to my series Got My Eye on You.

Twenty-seven stories (and not done yet!) 265,580 words and my most bookmarked series.

There was something very special about the Sherlock-Lestrade relationship that I enjoy exploring.

There will be more! As the Magpies series moves on to Five through Ten, there will be minor detours to see how the world looks from Lestrade's perspective.

The next one up will be Bolthole, in which Lestrade follows up on the shooting of Sherlock in Magnussen's office.
