    Summary

    Everyone speaks of an "aftermath" in the wake of a life-changing event, and that aftermath is generally negative. For Mycroft Holmes, though, Sherrinford and his subsequent confrontation with Rudy Vernet has led him down an entirely different path. He's always sneered at homilies and old sayings. But in this case, "it's an ill wind that blows no good" has proven to be surprisingly, shockingly, accurate.

    Summary

    People speak of scars as if they fade. Some do. Most don't. But the one you can't see - they quietly shape who we become. They never stop bleeding, staining you red from within, whether you realise it or not.

    This is proper slow burn, and when I say slow burn I mean years long.
    They might take probably 35 to 40 chapters to realise their feelings...!

     

    In this story I gave my mind to Mycroft and my heart to Greg, hoping they would find love even if my organs don't.
    So please be kind and also English isn't my first language.

    "If something happens fast
    Is it destined not to last"

     

    (From: Fall Like a Feather by Dan Owen)

     

    Mycroft doesn't really do social gatherings but he has made an exception for the Scotland Yard party he is currently attending.
    Mostly because he hopes to catch a glimpse of a certain Detective-Inspector. The same one he's been pining over for years but who will probably never see him in the same light.....

    Summary

    A panic started to rise in his chest. He didn't recognize any of it. Not the matching bedside tables, not the window curtains, not clothes on his back. Even the carpet felt odd against his bare feet as he leapt out of bed. He rushed into the ensuite and splashed cold water on his face. Eyes closed, he took a stabilizing breath before slowly opening his eyes to look at his reflection.

    He didn't recognize that either.

    Summary

    When threats against a minor royal family prompt the Crown to send their daughter into hiding, she is entrusted to none other than Mycroft Holmes—the British Government’s shadow, a man feared more than he is understood. With a past cloaked in blood and diplomacy, he is the last person one might deem suitable for caring for a sheltered girl. But that’s precisely why he was chosen.

    She arrives in London with secrets stitched into the seams of her carefully packed luggage, under the false identity of an aristocratic ward. Befriending Sherlock Holmes and John Watson offers her a sense of normalcy, even laughter. But it is in the cold, calculated presence of Mycroft Holmes that she feels most alive.

    She falls first.

    And he, for all his intellect and control, begins to falter.

    But how does a man built of stone admit he’s bleeding?
    How does a girl meant for thrones survive loving someone meant for shadows?

    “Where does it hurt?”
    “Here,” he pointed at his heart. “It hurts to see you in pain, hurts to see you suffer…if it were for me I’d cherish you, I’d spoil you, I’ll love you till my last breath,” he cupped Greg’s face.
    “You hit your head pretty hard,” Greg mumbled

When Mycroft accidentally leaves behind sensitive government documents hidden in a stack of books, Greg cautiously returns them, unintentionally uncovering a small political conspiracy.
