Fic recs for Sherlock meeting Mrs Hudson the first time?

[hopeisathreat.livejournal.com]

Hi there!

This is my first time posting here, so I hope I'm doing things all right (if not, tell me please)!

I am looking for recommended gen fics that explore how Sherlock meets Mrs Hudson for the first time, and preferably also the causes for the trust of their relationship to grow on both sides (such as, how did it happen that Sherlock has grown so fond and protective over Mrs Hudson and vice versa?).

Johnlock is nice too, but I'd like to keep the focus on Mrs Hudson/Sherlock gen.

Thank you ♥

Try this, starting with chapter 5. (You can read the first 4 parts because they're really good too but you'll still understand if you start with part 5, where the Hudsons come in.)
