Summary
The chessboard burst into flame and flipped over the table, pieces clattering and spilling and knocking Mycroft in the face as they soared across the room, blasting into dust against the ornately hideous wallpaper of his family home.
The smouldering wreckage of his chessboard jeered at him from the fine mahogany dining table, several metres of space between him and his father both too much and too little; too safe and too dangerous at once.

Summary
When Baron Mycroft Holmes violated the Law of Hospitality and angered a goddess, he was cursed to live his days as a beast. No longer fit for polite society, the baron spends his time lamenting his foolishness. At night, when his self-pitying routine becomes too much for even him to withstand, he sneaks down to the gambling hall for a bit of distraction.
It's a crime to traffick people, but when he wins a boy, he finds these idle days are over. Gregory Lestrade is more than he seems, and it could be that he's hiding a curse of his own.
