Summary: It was always John Watson's dream to own a pub. He runs the moderately succesful place called The Green Lion, and he has hopes that this pub will be around long after he is gone. But with the new hires and the conflict that brings and the looming threat that a certain rival businessman provides, will his dream come true, or will it all fall to pieces?
Authors Notes: This is probably one of the most AU stories I've ever written, but I quite love it anyway. Written for sherlockmas's Summer 2013 round, answering prompt #15 ("AU where one of the characters runs a pub and everyone else is employed there"). Hope you guys enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it!
