Rare Lestrade/Watson, please!

I have somehow lost a very rare story; I'm greatly hoping someone can find it. It was a Watson/Lestrade fic, either ACD or Granada verse, and it involved Lestrade and Watson growing closer during the three year hiatus. After Holmes is revealed to be alive, Lestrade goes to see him, because he knows that Holmes will always be more important to Watson, and demands to know if Holmes didn't realize how badly he was hurting Watson, or he just didn't care. I remember that Holmes' reply is something like, "Lestrade, you've fallen in love with my Watson." It ends with Watson moving back into Baker Street, but still remaining with Lestrade. Does this ring any bells?

While I'm on the subject, if anyone knows of any other good fics with Lestrade/Watson interaction, I'd love to see them. Slash or just platonic friendship; I'll take what I can get. But please, ACD or Granada only.

Edit: Story found!!!

I'm afraid this is not the one you're looking for, because Watson does end up with Holmes, but it's worth a read!

Ooh ooh, I'm pretty sure it's Honest and Altogether by janeturenne! It and its - sadly WIP - sequel Altogether Mysterious are here (http://archiveofourown.org/series/1204).

There is an exchange between Lestrade and Holmes similar to this in JaneTurenne's Honest and Altogether (http://archiveofourown.org/works/14494). Is the story you're looking for?

Or at least, "Great minds think alike", eh? We certainly timed that one to the millisecond.

Thank you bothe for the quick action! It was indeed Honest and Altogether, although I didn't know there was a sequel, even if it's unfinished. Cool beans. And I will definitely check out that other story as well. Obviously I do read H/W, it's just every so oftern I have a fondness for Lestrade. (I loved his character in the Granada series!) Sad that he's so hard to come by in the fic world, and sorry to say, BBC verse does nothing for me. I prefer my Holmes to reside firmly in the Victorian era. :D Thanks again!
