    Summary

    In a time where homosexuality is a crime and money defines one's worth and future, two people have found each other against all odds. Separated by status and as dissimilar in prestige and wealth as two people can be, they meet in secret. Unwilling to spend their lives mourning for what they can never have, both seek comfort in each others arms, knowing that the night will end eventually and they will have to part again.

    Summary

    Mycroft operates under the assumption that his life is fine. Sure, he picks up strangers from bars and screws them senseless without learning their names. Sometimes he picks fights with his little brother under the guise of caring. Maybe he drinks a bit too much. But everyone has their problems, right? And he has his completely under control. Until he doesn't.

    When Sherlock starts working under Detective Inspector Lestrade, Mycroft arranges his obligatory meeting. Just a quick vetting process and they can go on their merry way. But it doesn't go as he expects, because that wasn't the first time they had met - the first time was four days ago. In his bed. And Mycroft doesn't do repeats - does he?

    Broken and shut off from the world, Mycroft and Lestrade eventually - sort of - fall into an arrangement. It's not talked about. Not official. Neither would admit to it. But neither would give it up, either. What happens when it starts to become more? What happens when two broken people decide to see if they can become whole?

    Summary

    There was only one certainty in Mycroft Holmes' life: That being alone was inevitable, safe and the only option.

    Spending time with Greg Lestrade was the stupidest decision he ever made. It was a decision he'd never regret.

    The companion piece to Human Remains.
