Summary
In a time where homosexuality is a crime and money defines one's worth and future, two people have found each other against all odds. Separated by status and as dissimilar in prestige and wealth as two people can be, they meet in secret. Unwilling to spend their lives mourning for what they can never have, both seek comfort in each others arms, knowing that the night will end eventually and they will have to part again.

Summary
The annual Winter Ball at the Holmes Mansion brings Mycroft face to face with his responsibilities and what his future must entail. A secret relationship, he realises, is not only irresponsable but could have disastrous consequences.
Confused, hurt and repelled by himself, he flees to the only place he'd ever felt safe. His mother, of course, notices and decides to confront her son in the library. Thus secrets are revealed, comfort given and advice received.

Summary
As they are forced to live on without the presence of the other, an end to their separation unlikely, Greg reminisces how it all began many ears ago. The first time he had laid eyes on Mycroft, things had been much different. Or, looking back now, maybe not so different after all.
But while both struggle to cope, something evil is brewing in the streets of London.

Summary
Christmas should be celebrated with the people you love. For Mycroft, the family he was forced to dine with was nothing in comparison to the one person he longed to hold close. But traditions and appearances had to be upheld, at least until a credible opportunity to escape presented itself.
