Summary
Despite having been in phone and text contact for years, Mycroft only meets Lestrade face-to-face for the first time at Sherlock's funeral. An initial request for coffee blossoms into something more, until Mycroft has to admit something he'd much rather not acknowledge: he and Gregory Lestrade, together, are inevitable. The only problem is, what will Greg do when he finds Mycroft lied about Sherlock's death?

Summary
Mycroft has groomed his persona as the Ice Man, but sometimes he needs thing to get a little hot. Cue his inherited ability to shape-shift; he transforms into someone else and burns off his pent up sexual energy.
It's a system that has worked beautifully for years. Until, that is, he becomes mildly obsessed with getting into Lestrade's pants. Unfortunately, no matter what guise he approaches the man in, Mycroft strikes out. His hunger for Lestrade isn't helped by the time the two spend together.
In the end he finds the solution surprising.

Summary
This fic is my response to the question,"What would Mycroft Holmes do to rescue Greg Lestrade from the very determined arms of Death?"
The answer's obvious, isn't it? He'd do anything. Anything at all.
Hence, this is a time-loop fic in which Mycroft is jet-lagged, Eurus is creepy, Greg is quite wonderful until he dies (repeatedly, but also temporarily), Anthea is confused but supportive, the Prime Minister is kind, Sherlock and John are helpful (sort of), it rains an awful lot, Mycroft’s coat is very clean, and tomorrow is a new day.
Until it isn’t.

"There was something better in life than this rubbish, if only he could get to it—love—nobility—big spaces where passion clasped peace, spaces no science could reach, but they existed for ever, full of woods some of them, and arched with majestic sky and a friend..." E.M. Forster

Summary
Mycroft:
For the first time in a month, he feels rested and well. Something has eased. Buying the piano three weeks ago was also turning some kind of corner. He’s done reacting and ready to return to his default state of action. He’s finally found his boxes of sheet music and he arranges them by composer in an antique lateral file he purchased for the exact purpose. Tomorrow he will sketch out his job's restructure and send it to Alicia, Garreth, and Edwin. Today he will test the potential for turning his friendship with Greg into a romance.Greg:
For longer than he’d thought remotely possibly he’s managed to be underfoot, helpful, responsive. Noting that Mycroft likes him in rugby pullovers and Henly’s in the forest colors he’s adjusted his wardrobe accordingly. Mycroft loves his hair and he’s let it grow to such disastrous lengths that he often looks like an overgrown Yorkie by day’s end. He has perfected the two-day scruff that’s perfectly balanced between the Yard’s restriction on a beard and Mycroft’s attraction to his facial hair. He’s been fucking careful. He’s been deliberate, damn it.Bookmarked by AvidReader79
