Greg Lestrade is forty-three when he saves the life of a brilliant drug addict. Two years later, he's starting to realize there are some certainties to his life now that Sherlock Holmes is part of it. He's going gray quickly, for one thing. He starts finding experiments in his kitchen. And he may even be, inexplicably, beginning to care for the detective. A series of vignettes that cover the five years leading up to “A Study In Pink.”
Nor the Years Condemn at AO3
Starts with Lestrange's and Sherlock's first meeting, covers the years until Sherlock moves into Bakerstreet. Sherlock is wonderfully canon-like - the drug abuse is neither too explicit nor too dampened.
