Summary
Mycroft Holmes is an important man. He is the British Government, when he's not busy being the British Secret Service or the CIA. He is a creature of habit with powerful friends and dangerous allies. He needs protection and somebody that is not afraid to get their hands dirty on his behalf.
Lucinda Blackwood has trained her whole life for this, literally. As a child she was kidnapped and trained to be an assassin but she's tired of working for the bad guys and ready to settled back into London life. A job interview with Mycroft Holmes gives her, not only a job, but a reason to live again.
This is a slow burn fic of Mycroft Holmes with an original female character that runs alongside the tv series - I will be using the show as cannon with only minor changes to accommodate the inclusion of a new character.
There will be love, heartbreak, fluff, maybe smut (I am undecided yet) and so much more....

Summary
"Xie [...] had invented an entire pleasure-industry by combining superior visual aesthetics with impeccable personal attention. Drasha salons were by that time a feature of any even half-decent house of repose in every pleasure district in the British Isles, but once upon a time, when Xie debuted, there had been only one, and Xie had named it: the Icehouse."
*
In a contemporary dystopia, Unity is peace--despite the fact unsanctioned information, illicit currency, and every sort of danger flows unchecked in the world's pleasure districts.John Watson, a weary hired gun, is assigned by the mysterious Mentor to investigate a subversive element lurking in the Icehouse, the world's most famous House of Repose. As accustomed as he is to dealing with the unexpected, John is nevertheless woefully unprepared to meet the gem of the Ice house, Xie, the world renowned "drashaskaya," the living work of art after which all other drashas are modeled.
In sumptuous suites, amid trailing puddles of silk and fervent whispers in the night, John soon learns that nothing is as it seems in the floating world of London's pleasure district.
