Summary
Mycroft Holmes suffers a great loss. He longs for something he never really had. He grieves for a person he didn't really know.
But someone else has suffered a loss far greater than his.
Mycroft is faced with a situation that's out of his control, and his usual self-assured calm is shattered. He's forced to trust the people around him, because he knows he can't trust himself.

Summary
Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes know each other better than anybody else. Which is why Mycroft knows, that for Sherlock a choice between himself and John Watson, isn't really any kind of choice at all.

Summary
Ellie’s been eyeing the blueberry bush by the street down the road for days now.
There’s probably hundreds of freshly ripe berries adorning the branches, growing more and more plentiful by the day. Yet, the bush is never tended to and the blueberries never eaten. At this rate, they’re all going to rot and fall off. Ellie can’t just let that happen.
Not when she hasn’t eaten in two days.
*
or: Ellie steals blueberries from the man down the street and ends up finding much more than what she came searching for.

Summary
“She’s cold, Joel.” It’s the first thing Tess says about the kid that isn’t practical, isn’t about the job. It’s quiet, too quiet for the kid to hear since she’s wandered a bit away and found herself a spot to sit down, out of the rain still dripping from the roof. “She’s just a fucking little girl and she’s cold.”
He stops trying to argue they should keep moving.
Or: Joel doesn't like Ellie being cold.

Summary
As their quarantine period elapses and they move to a permanent home, as weeks turn into months and they join in on the rotations and activities in town, Tommy still can't get to know Ellie. She dodges him at every opportunity, constantly has an excuse for not joining them for dinner, and just…seemingly wants nothing to do with anyone that isn't Joel.
Which should be good, because that means it probably ain't personal, ain't aimed at him directly. But it still feels a bit personal.
(ellie struggles at settling in, and tommy struggles at getting his new niece to interact with him) (bthb - choking)

Summary
"Greg knew that he was being punished for his moment of hesitation, for his refusal to fall in line the moment Mycroft flinched. This made him angry, but there was something more galvanizing there too. A punishment felt like a gauntlet, an acknowledgement. Mycroft had said he didn’t want the debt of a favour from Greg, but he still overreacted when the opportunity was denied."
Greg and Mycroft discover that intimacy is the most frightening experiment of all.

Summary
Mycroft has built a careful system of predictions to control the beast he calls Greed, always roiling in his chest, driving him to gather power, knowledge and (unfortunately) calories. By predicting what he's most likely to gain however, he can direct his desire towards them and not waste time striving for impossibilities. The system's worked for a decade, and he hasn't wanted anything badly enough to break it - until, that is, he's presented with a photograph of Gregory Lestrade and Greed crashes through his carefully erected barriers. To protect Greg from the beast, Mycroft must turn him into the most unattainable man in the country... by saving the man's crumbling marriage.
Greg's satisfied with his lot. He works long hours, sure, but it's a worthwhile job. His wife's cheating on him, yeah, but honestly if he had a chance with Mr Perfect McRockHardAbs, he'd probably cheat too. And he likes the bed cold, anyway. He's never been the sort to step on other people's feet or push for something as silly as his own happiness. Besides, he's never wanted anything strongly enough to push - until, that is, he meets the infuriating Mycroft Holmes, who seems intent on doing nothing but brush him away.

Summary
Everyone has a soulmate. Everyone. It's simple human biology. Over the course of every person's life, they develop tattoos of the things their soulmate loves most.
Though he has always disliked the concept, Mycroft Holmes is painted from head to toe with dozens of brightly-coloured tattoos. Greg Lestrade, once-firm believer and hopeless romantic, has just nine. They are all quietly sophisticated, sketched in smooth shades of black and grey and easy to hide.
Neither of them has gained a tattoo in years. But when they both suddenly find new markings, things finally fall into place.

Summary
Detective Inspector Greg Lestrade has always known that his job came with the risk of danger; he was prepared for knives, guns, and belligerent drunks, but he never saw being taken hostage by violent members of a Mexican drug cartel coming. His only hope of being saved is that one of his closest friends is a consulting detective and another is the "minor" wizard-behind-the-machine, Mycroft Holmes. If "friend" is really the right word for what Mycroft is to him...God, he'd like to live to find out.

Summary
Three weeks ago, Mycroft Holmes picked Lestrade up outside New Scotland Yard and made him an offer he'd been unable to refuse, despite his best judgement. Mycroft had sucked his cock, dropped him off at home, and Lestrade hadn't heard a word from him since.
Now, the door of the black car swung open as Lestrade drew level with it. He could just see Mycroft's profile, hawkish nose and shallow chin limned by the orange glow of the streetlight.

Summary
'We had a complaint about noise. Fighting. You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?' Greg scanned the area with his torch, noting the delicate turn of the wrists at the jumper's cuffs. Skeletal. No meat on him at all. An addict, then, if Greg had to guess. He had that sallow, thin-skinned look as well, the one that came when the next hit meant more than the next meal. A bad state to be in. 'You got a name?'
The hesitation was just long enough for him to realise he wasn't getting the truth. 'William.'Or: Five times Greg met a man called William, and one he found a friend called Sherlock.
