    Summary

    What could bring together an American working for Scotland Yard and a man in a 'minor position' in the British government?
    What might melt the Ice Man, and what could strike fear into the heart of he who has faced down terrorists and negotiated with countless governments?
    Perhaps, in the end, caring -does- have its advantages.

    *This is lots of fluff, add in some sass, and a dash of intrigue and adventure.
    **I'm an American, and I apologize in advance if I get some British bits and pieces wrong. Also, this is fan fiction, so except a dash of OOC and AU because that's what makes fanfic fun. :)
    ***My original characters and the plot are mine, The Holmes brothers and their family and friends sadly don't belong to me.

    Summary

    I looked at Mycroft and thought about Sherlock's tells of him and his world of goldfishes.
    And i realized that, when all this was over, I'd be left alone, barely breathing and completely broken. I'd be sad and miserable. It'd be so painfull that i might never be able to enjoy life again.
    Which is great. Fantastic. Tempting!
    Oh how i cant wait for that day to come.

    My name is Julie Jasmine Joyce, i'm the new secretary of Mycroft Holmes - a minor government official, and i think i'm having a massive crush on him.

    Summary

    “Go to college,” they said. “It’ll be fun,” they said.

    It is fun, actually - that is, until a classmate gets a little too carried away during a demonstration and shoves you headfirst out a third-story window. You wake up with your phone in one hand, some money in the other, and a rather attractive, rather familiar cabbie awaiting payment. All this would be grand, of course, if you had any idea where the hell you are. You could also do without the on-again, off-again migraines and nausea, and - holy mint chocolate chip, is that Benedict Cumberbatch?

    Summary

    'A Case of Poison Ivy and Stinging Nettles'

    “Very original title, John,” Sherlock snorted. John glared up at his friend, his fingers hovering over the keyboard.
    "The whole case was about betrayal, plants, and pharmaceuticals," he shot back. "It's a clever title."
    "What about chemistry? There was plenty of chemistry."
    "Our client was a botanist," John rolled his eyes and continued typing at the laptop. "Don't worry, there's plenty of mention of your glorious prowess with chemical reactions."

    Or- how John and Sherlock find themselves in a flower shop after forgetting Mrs. Hudson’s birthday, and they quite literally stumble into an international mystery with the shop’s owner, Amelia Brenner.

    Summary

    “What's this about a girl?” Mycroft asked in a rather detached tone; he had better things to do.

    Sherlock turned to glare at his brother. “Oh, you mean the one screaming your name?”

    Or, the one where Mycroft's past comes back to protect him, or does it?

    Summary

    When Isabelle Holmes stumbles upon her husband on one of her few outings to Marylebone, she recognizes the man he's with as John Watson. Upon realizing John Watson doesn't know Mycroft has a wife, she realizes that something will have to change. For seven years, she has been willing to play down their relationship around his colleagues, letting everyone assume she'd the closest thing to a friend he can keep, because she assumed the small circle he seemed to know through Sherlock knew. Knowing John Watson doesn't even know about her makes her reevaluate what she is willing to accept. The question then becomes if Mycroft can reevaluate his priorities.

    Summary

    When Sherlock told John Watson that he didn’t have any friends, he only had one, he wasn’t lying. Aurella McCoy wasn’t a friend, she was his sister-in-law. His brother simply hadn’t formalized it yet. Or even caught on that he had his “goldfish” at all. Sherlock really needed to do something about that. After he figured out how to get John to call him his partner in a more formal sense. Priorities after all.

    Summary

    No one would assume that the world’s only consulting detective ever felt affection towards another human being. No one can even imagine what he’s like without his cold heart and demeanor. But everyone always wondered why he is the way he is. That question will always cross one's mind.

    Someone from his past comes back, and the person opens another area in his mind palace that he desperately tried to suppress and remove, but never could.

    So, what really is the reason why he’s the way he is? What made him like this?

    [TL;DR: Sherlock met a girl during Uni. They meet again eight years later. Wounds reopen.]

    Summary

    Maybe there's another reason Sherlock 'deleted' the solar system.

    When spacey astronomer Olivia Wainwright befriends John Watson, she crosses paths with two childhood friends. But only one of the Holmes brothers remembers her.

    Sherlock isn't entirely sure why he resents the solar system, but Ollie Wainwright seems to be making things worse.

    Mycroft failed to protect Olivia when they were children, and will do whatever it takes to make it up to her.

    John has a habit of getting too attached, and Ollie Wainwright is certainly no exception.

    Summary

    Clara Adams broke up with Mycroft Holmes three months ago when she found out he had been lying to her about his identity. For all five months of their relationship Mycroft claimed to be a book keeper named Mike Herring, all to keep her from learning how powerful, dangerous, and rich he truly was.

    But when Mycroft knocks on her door with a baby in his arms and an enormous favor to ask, Clara can't seem to tell him no.

    An angsty domestic story that dives into Mycroft's personality and thought process.

    Summary

    In an infinite universe, anything that can happen will happen. Even more than that, it probably already has... coincidences are a part of reality, and people who don't accept that are cretins. Still, Sherlock had to admit that the likelihood of a woman he may or may not have been in a relationship with years ago moving into the downstairs room was infinitesimal.
