Summary
The last of the three stories in this small series; AU post "Study in Pink," canon-compliant through "The Reichenbach Fall."
The call comes at 2:05 pm, on a cold grey day threatening rain. One very bad day for Mycroft albeit one with a satisfactory ending, eight years in the making.

Summary
Can be read as a standalone (with established Mycroft/Anthea) or as Story 2.5 of the Power Series, a year after "Comforting Power."
Wherein Mycroft and Anthea run an op in Los Angeles against one of Moriarty's followers, joined by a dirty, disreputable, seemingly homeless person who hasn't smelled that bad since he blew up an outbuilding on the family estate when he was ten; wherein there are disagreements about operational protocol and sartorial choices, there is Mozart, and there are barriers upon barriers.

Summary
A step or two off canon and running adjacent to the Power Mycroft/Anthea stories, from before "A Study in Pink" into the Hiatus. Sherlock-POV: pretty much what it says on the tin.

Summary
Established relationship, wherein Anthea leaves Mycroft's employ at the end of "A Study in Pink" but maintains an ever stronger hold on his heart.
Every generation needs its version of Mr Steed and Mrs Peel.
Or,
It can be instructive and pleasurable to watch the operations of those who practice the Higher Common Sense.(With heartfelt apologies and acknowledgement of Stella Gibbons' novel Cold Comfort Farm.)
Although this is part of a larger series, it can be read as a stand-alone.

Summary
Part of the Power 'verse, a few steps off Sherlock canon (diverging after "A Study in Pink"), wherein Brexit didn't happen but the 2016 US Presidential election did.
My friend Susan gave me this prompt, from Leonard Cohen's "The Night Comes On":
Yes, and here's to the few Who forgive what you do
And the fewer who don't even care
And the night comes on
It's very calm
I want to cross over, I want to go home
But she says, Go back, go back to the WorldSeries

Summary
An AU series in which we diverged from canon right after "A Study in Pink," but the beginning of this fic is inspired by a scene in "The Six Thatchers."
Anthea returns from a work trip to find an empty refrigerator and Mycroft up to something. The result is joy.
This is the last of the Power stories.
