Title: When Your Belly's in the Trench
Author: Morgan_Stuart
Pairing: Gen
Length: 4,743 words
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Torture (happened off screen)
Verse: Sherlock BBC


Author's summary: The next time that door opens, John Watson will kill the person on the other side.


Reccer's comments: The set up seems pretty straight forward. The rescue for John and Sherlock has arrived.

One problem. Between Sherlock's still and battered form and the door is crouched one equally battered, but fiercely waiting, John Watson who is determined to tear apart whoever comes through the door. No one is getting near Sherlock.

Step up, one volunteer. Greg Lestrade.

The tension is terrific, the characterisation of Greg Lestrade (story told from his point of view) is just magnificent and it has both bamf John and Lestrade! Worth reading again and again.
