Summary
Mycroft and Greg. Technically it's about Greg fulfilling Sherlock's request. More accurately, it's about...
Heck. No. Just read it. If it worked and you're as mushy as me, you will like it.
The theme music for the story is McCartney's "Blackbird."

Summary
Greg was 36 when he first met Mycroft.
The man in the three-piece suit had been waiting in his office, uninvited, the day after Greg had found himself taking advice from a junkie (and smart-arse) on how to interpret his crime scene.
Greg was sure he saw the younger man’s expression positively lighten the moment his gaze fell on Greg, but that was soon replaced by what might be disappointment, which immediately faded, leaving a polite neutrality that gave nothing away.

Summary
When Greg's mouth acts before his brain and he tells his mom he's bringing someone on vacation to meet them, he has to think fast and figure out someone willing enough to actually go stay at his parents' in France and pretend to be involved. There is, of course, one person he wants to ask more than anything. However, wanting the scenario and then actually BEING in the scenario are two completely different things, and Greg soon realizes he is in way over his head. And quite possibly falling too hard, too fast, for someone who would never return those feelings...

Summary
Greg Lestrade has been carrying a torch for Mycroft Holmes for years. Between cases and the petty dramas of life, he can mostly keep it at bay, flickering on a low burn in the back of his mind.
However, after he's pulled into a search and rescue operation for the man, he finds himself thrust into an unexpected role. He's trying to be respectful - and careful - but Mycroft Holmes is a force to be reckoned with, and the torch is burning brighter than ever.

Summary
He realised that some officers were able to maintain reasonably healthy relationships and remain on the force, but he had tried that. He was too intense, too passionate, to balance his life to the satisfaction of a partner, and when given the choice between a partner and his job he had chosen his job. Every time.

I really like the slow burn beginning. I have trouble with the ending though.

Summary
"Afraid I'll embarrass you?" mocked Sherlock, looking up suddenly, his stare spearing Mycroft where he sat.
Sherlock was too thin, too dirty - it was always a bad sign when he neglected personal hygiene - and he looked as if he hadn't slept for a week.
"Oh, that ship sailed some years ago. You've been vocal enough about what you don't want. So tell me, brother dear, what is it you do want?"
"You to leave me the fuck alone," said Sherlock venomously.
Several heads turned. Mycroft ignored them. He took such incidents for granted when he was with Sherlock and had never cared what strangers thought - unless required to do so by his job.
