Summary
"As Sherlock’s birthday approached, he had called Mycroft almost every day until he accepted the invitation, not taking any of Mycroft’s excuses. It had been Greg who had convinced him eventually. As he checked his hair in the mirror, he pushed away the thought that somehow this felt like more than just putting on a battle suit."

Summary
"Greg hadn’t expected this to happen when he had arrived at Baker Street for John’s party, nor had he wanted it. But from the moment that she had shaken his hand with that little wink, it has been so easy, and he hadn’t realised how much he had craved for it to just be easy for once."
Or: Greg and Mycroft have been stuck in a situationship for months and Greg is just about to give up on it (but then he doesn't)

Summary
"As was always the case with knowledge, there were also things he wished to have remained ignorant about. With a bit of practice, he could easily detect the signs of attraction in Lestrade’s behaviour on seeing Mycroft at crime scenes. The way his gaze lingered on him for longer than average, how he laughed a bit louder than usual, or how his mood improved sustainably after exchanging a few words with him. It became blatantly obvious at the last Christmas party, when Lestrade – surely encouraged by several glasses of wine – pulled Mycroft into a conversation and didn’t leave him for the rest of the evening."
Or: Sherlock confronts a tired, freshly divorced Greg about why he won't get with his brother "for science"
