    Summary

    When Greg Lestrade met Mycroft Holmes for the first time he wasn't quite sure what to make of him. But nine years down the line, he could never have dreamed that this was where they were going to end up.

    AKA: A slow-burn Mystrade, starting in 2005 and covering all three seasons of Sherlock.

    As of 19/04/2016, I am going through this fic and reformatting it, so if you find some inconsistencies in formatting, that's why. I'm also trying to remove the typos and the unnecessary words and clunky phrases. It's a long story and it'll be a long process, so your patience is very much appreciated.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    An absolutely phenomenal piece of work. Four hundred thousand words and more, starting before anyone meets each other and going all the way up through series three. Canon offscreen events never shown or explained are shown and explained within the context of a relationship between Greg and Mycroft that makes Johnlock look like some kind of children's story. Reading this, I experienced physical pain and delight and arousal and tears. It's just bloody marvelous. If you can carve out the time for it, do.

    [This is the one with “your move” and “other people aren’t gay” and so much more.]

    Bookmarker's Notes

    A Before Sunrise AU that strikes just the right balance between hitting the high notes of the original and being true to our characters. It’s just lovely all the way through.

    “Because the idea that David liked him had made his skin warm and his head buzz and his cheeks flush; but the idea that he had somehow made David like himself? That set him on fire.”

    Summary

    David is quitting.

    He’s had enough of working for a photography company with an off-the-books philosophy of "sleaze and cheese", he's had enough of getting forced into assignments at the last minute when the company president decides he's flitting off to party with D-list celebrities instead. He’s quitting. This is, in fact, his last job.

    At least it's an easy shoot - a puff piece on some up-and-coming Canadian singer-songwriter on the indie circuit who's just been catapaulted to widespread fame. No complications, no controversy. He'll be in his apartment and wallowing in his bamboo-silk sheets before he knows it.

     

    A PhotographerDavid fic inspired by THAT photo shoot by Vanessa Heins.

    This made me cry like a fool. I had to change my shirt. Just so, so good. The wanting is delicious and pays off beautifully.

    (This is the one with the darkroom under the stairs and “is it a one-Time thing or a one-Night thing?”)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Holy fuck, but I LOVE THIS. I almost didn't read it (AUs are often not great for me, and I don't know anything beyond the very basics of the D/s relationship), but I'm so glad I persevered. This is amazing. This version of Greg, who is always in control and always so generous and loving, is (as the author says in the comments) made of awesome.

    If you'd asked me before I read this whether I would be into a D/s AU,I would've said no. But I keep thinking about this story, especially part two, A Series of Firsts. It's beautifully done. I can't believe how much I like it. Pieces of it reply in my mind almost every day.

    (This is the one where you’re always there on Thursdays, sir.)
