Summary
Kravitz hadn’t known Taako for so very long before Lup’s return. Long enough, though. Long enough to notice that Taako is different.
Some of that is undoubtedly the result of getting a hundred years of his own memory back. Like Taako had been a sketch, a black-and-white film, and Lup had restored his colour.-
“Oh, hey boss!” Taako says, unbothered by the flaming sword or the fact that he is the only person in the room that she is not, technically, the boss of. “Blame Barold. He keeps forgetting he doesn’t live here. If we invite you to stay for dinner will you fix it so it recognises all four of us?”
“WHAT ARE YOU MAKING?”
“Tacos!”
The Raven Queen’s feathers rustle. Her beak fades, and she smiles at the twins with a face that is almost human, a smile that is almost warm. Her eyes remain black, but Kravitz happens to know that it’s a stylistic choice, which makes it marginally less terrifying.
“THAT IS AN ACCEPTABLE BARGAIN.” -

The war is over, but the dust hasn't settled yet.

"Oh, there are some stories I haven’t told Otabek yet. Just in case Yuri really pisses me off sometime," Mila says.
“Okay,” Sara grins, slyly. “Maybe that part of having siblings is kinda fun.”

Summary
“The more you escape, the more determined he is to keep you in there.” Yuri grumbles, good-humouredly. “At this rate, I’ll be going to the damn wedding on my own.”
After the escapade at the feast (for which Otabek apparently both ran away from the hospital and also stole a crutch), he’s been allowed out much less often.
He blinks at Yuri, caught off-guard.
“What?”
“Victor and Katsudon. What did you think I meant?”
Otabek just stares. Slowly, it dawns on Yuri.
“Oh, right.”
That sours it somewhat.Series

Summary
That’s the thing about arranged marriages – they push everything too fast, too intense. Even people that might otherwise just be friends, Yuri can’t help but think... what if? What if I spend the rest of my life with this person? What if I never see them again? There’s no in-between, usually. This is the first time Otabek’s been back to Rusiki in over a decade.
“Because I don’t want to marry you?”
“Because you considered me an equal.” Yuri corrects, letting Ariya go again. She dives off the side of the battlements, and for a moment he’s with her as she falls, but then she pulls out again and he’s back on the castle walls. Heart thrumming, head spinning.
“Hang on,” he realises. “You came all the way here with the express intention of fighting me, which means getting to the final stage. That means...”
“If I win, we marry. If I lose, I become your bodyguard.”
Yuri’s actually relieved to see that Otabek understands the rules here, because he seems supremely unfazed by the ultimatum.
“Either way, you’re stuck with me for the rest of our lives.”
“Yes.”
“That doesn’t bother you?”
-
Everyone else wants to marry Yuri. Otabek just wants to fight him.

Summary
Otabek is spending the summer in Russia to train. Yuri takes offence at his stretching routine. Mila thinks they're hilarious.
"Yuri is staring at him. He can feel the heat of it even before he turns to see him. The death glare is somewhat mitigated by the fact that Yuri is lying on his stomach, with his legs splayed out in a box split. Impressive, definitely. Intimidating, not so much."
Now featuring: Instagram shenanigans, Otabek's fans, tutus, leggings, and Yuri attempting to take bad pictures of Beka.

We Are Something New by Linnet
Fandoms: Skyfall (2012) - Fandom, Discworld - Terry Pratchett
12 Oct 2014
Tags
Summary
Bond always breaks the rules. Alec never had any respect for them in the first place. Their game is one of survival, and the only rule is to stay alive.
Q has never been ordinary, and defies the rules for fun. Wizards who create new spells are almost unheard of, but a wizard is not all that Q is.
Somehow, Ankh-Morpork brings this trio of unlikely vagabonds together. M is the only one to see the potential of having all three of them under her thumb.

Summary
Q has had to learn his lessons the hard way, but they have served him well.

Summary
It is not unusual for Q to wake alone, his legs tangled in cool white sheets instead of warm tanned skin.
It is unusual for the earpiece to lie silent and forgotten on the tabletop when James is not at home."You can't choose what stays and what fades away,
Tell me what you want me to say" -

The Next Generation and The Dog by Linnet for legekg
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV), Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms, Skyfall (2012) - Fandom, James Bond (Craig Movies)
25 Aug 2013
Tags
Summary
This should probably be the next chapter of the fic, not the next part in the series. It won't make any sense if you don't read the rest first!
Emma is John's daughter. Hamish is James and Q's son. So far, they've always been surrounded by adults. Without the protection of their family, what are two eight-year olds to do? Wash the dog, obviously. In a swimming pool.
Or; what happens when I try and write friendly bonding between non-canoical children.
Thank you again to my incredible beta Iriya, who, as ever, has made this so much better than I could ever have anticipated. Thank you for consistently exceeding my already-high expectations!

Twelve things you should know about John Watson by Linnet
Fandoms: Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms, Skyfall (2012) - Fandom
17 Jun 2013
Tags
Summary
Working title 'a year in the life'.
John Watson is as close to normal as you can get, but there are some things you can learn about him only by watching him go about his life.
This is kind of a John Watson appreciation story, because I really do love him, and don't want him to be underestimated simply because he seems to spend a lot of time in Sherlock's shadow, however unintentionally.
Many thanks to the wonderful Iriya who has gone back over this for me and made it fabulous! -

Summary
Inspired by Duchesscloverly's fantastic video 'Bound to you', recommend watching!
'Mycroft and Sherlock were cursed to live forever. If they fall in love the curse will be broken. If their feelings are not returned they will die. Unable to cope with the idea of living forever alone they try to dissuade the other from forming attachments to John Watson and Greg Lestrade. Unfortunately they can't help themselves and when the curse starts to weaken them they have no choice but to admit their secret.' - Duchesscloverly
This fic spends a lot of time exploring the Holmes' brother's history before we get to the shipping, so I guess it's a slow build. Enjoy!

The Holmes' have never been the most conventional of families. by Linnet
Fandoms: Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms, Skyfall (2012) - Fandom
05 Apr 2013

Summary
Q takes his partner and their son to meet the brothers that he severed his contact with thirteen years previously. He hasn't got a clue how the reunion is going to go. He's slightly terrified that Mycroft is actually going to kill him. If Beowulf doesn't manage it first.
It begins fluffy and domestic, but rated for the relaying of the story of a traumatic death, and why Emma didn't have her father for the first two years of her life. I didn't intend it to be angsty, but I didn't really know where I was taking this anyway and then... yeah.
I'm still not sorry, though. I probably should be.
Many thanks, as ever, to Iriya my fantastic and ever-patient Beta, who is simply a star at pointing out not only the most obvious things (that I miss) but also all the little things that make this about a hundred times more accurate, and even more fun than ever.Series

Meeting by chance by Linnet
Fandoms: Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms, Skyfall (2012) - Fandom
05 Apr 2013
Tags
Summary
There has to be some kind of substitute for the excitement that a detective is used to. Climbing a hill with an eight-year-old wasn't really what he had in mind, though. Not the getting lost part, either. He wouldn't admit that he's actually enjoying it.
Rated for mentions of sexual activity. There probably ought to be a rating for the frankly incredible amount of fluff, too.
I'm Insane. I'm sorry (not)
Many thanks to Iriya for being a wonderful Beta once again. It was great fun going back over this with her!Series

Summary
This used to be the story involving everybody in the Sherlock BBC canon, but I've discovered that it works better to have the two stories running separately.
This is Lestrade and Mycroft's side of the story of Sherlock's return, Mycroft's disappearance, and the difficulties they all face as time goes on and ever more secrets are revealed that would have been better remaining in the dark.Mycroft's in more danger than he ever lets on, even to his closest friend. When events take a turn he could never have predicted, he's forced into doing something that he never thought would cause so much pain.
Lestrade's got a growing number of unsolved murders on his back, never mind the recent death of his wife. Maybe that's what induces his steady realisation that something is happening around him that he has no control over, and that it may be slowly tearing his life apart.Series

Summary
After Sherlock's death, things aren't going well, not for any of the people he's left behind. Lestrade's forced to try and bring them all together again. It's a daunting task.

Family Reunion - Holmes Style by Linnet
Fandoms: Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms, Skyfall (2012) - Fandom, James Bond (Craig Movies)
06 Mar 2013
Tags
Summary
Lestrade's been kidnapped, and Sherlock's missing (presumed bored), so Mycroft goes to the only person he can think of to help - His younger brother, Quinn Holmes, now a quartermaster at MI6. Needless to say, things don't go as smoothly as planned. Still, all's well that ends well. Probably. Providing 007 manages to survive the explosives and uranium bombs and doesn't actually try to shoot somebody VERY IMPORTANT. But it's ok, because there's always Q to talk him out of it.
Basically, I needed a break from writing serious stuff, and this happened :)
Speech only format!
Beta-d by the lovely Iriya who I will never run out of fantastic things to say about. Thank you so much!
