Summary
John wasn't going to let the opportunity pass though. How many times would he have Sherlock drunk and unable to control that mouth of his. It was time to get as much information as possible and pray to god he remembered it when he sobered up.
“Go on. We've got all night locked in here. Tell me something at least.” John slurred and sank a bit further down the wall of their holding cell, “Was there ever anyone...special?”

So.

Summary
He had just been learning the shape of his life after divorce when this relationship with Mycroft came along. And now a feeling of change hung about the corners of his mind like a spectre, unwilling or unable to let him go, and the sand under his feet always seemed to be shifting, shifting. Greg needed something solid to lean on.
They'd fought their battles, and reached a measure of peace. But it was still going to take a little time to bring everything into accord.

Summary
He shapes relations with sovereign states and your commute on the A4, but Mycroft’s power is worthless for what – whom – he wants most. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t think about about it. Him.

A fantasy in seven bite-sized parts.

Summary
ArwaMachine wrote a wonderful PWP about Sherlock and John waking the house at Christmas by having noisy sex on an old bed. Mycroft and Greg were mentioned, so I had to show their viewpoint. And give them their own hint of a happy ending.

Summary
As if John and Sherlock don't have enough problems already (that whole Sherlock getting shot by Mary thing), now there's a cold case detective from Canada snooping around asking questions about Moriarty.
Kate took her time, wanting to give him time to get settled. When she returned, John had cleared away the tea and Sherlock was sitting in the leather chair wearing sweat pants and a faded white t-shirt under a blue silk bathrobe.
She didn’t know men still wore silk bathrobes.
Thinner than his pictures, paler too. All cheekbones and unruly dark hair. Blue eyes dulled by the pain meds. Needs to shave. Bare feet. Holds one arm against his chest. Like he’s literally trying to hold himself together. Is he aware that he’s doing that?

Summary
Sherlock tries on Irene for size.
The scent of her perfume makes his mouth dry as he dabs it lightly on his wrists, his collarbone, careful to avoid the delicate pearls. He brings his arm up to his nose, inhaling deeply, his lips leaving traces of red where they touch the delicate skin of his wrist.

Summary
It seemed that Lestrade's salt-and-pepper hair grew in the same on his face as it did on his head. His beard was bristly, patchy, viscerally appealing in a way that had little to do with aesthetics and more to do with masculine sensuality. Mycroft was stood rapt, conjuring up the rough brush of the beard against his lips without having moved an inch. His apprehension dropped away, lost behind a painful stab of want.
Christmas, when he and Lestrade had both been strong-armed into growing beards for a cause, proved to be the turning point for the whole desperate, shattering, uncomfortable scenario.

Inevitably Johnlocked posted an ask on Tumblr a couple of weeks ago from someone who wanted to know if there were any fics with one of the boys drunk dialing the other to declare their love. I adored this idea and I know some others did too, so here's my take on that. Other drunk dialing fics are available!

Summary
After the events of Sherrinford, the Holmes family is forever altered. Mycroft no longer has anything to hide, but instead must find a way to win back his brother's trust. Sherlock is faced with truths about himself long-buried, and both of the brothers Holmes realize that their positions in the world are no longer as fixed as they might have seemed.
Along with these realizations come new opportunities. Mycroft finds himself drawn to Inspector Lestrade, and now that all his secrets have been laid bare he finds he doesn't want to hold back anymore. Sherlock too begins to find it harder and harder to remember why he has been repressing his desires - especially when he is around his best friend, John Watson.
The past is a dark and melancholy place, and neither Holmes wants to return there - so it's time now to push forward, and take a chance on something brighter.
NOW COMPLETE!
