    Summary

    Mycroft Holmes gives his account of six firsts: in corridors after tedious receptions, on the other end of accusatory phone calls, in bedrooms, on sofas, following crime scenes, and beneath lights too bright for confession.

    A careful summation of evidence in the matter of Greg Lestrade.

    Summary

    John's been obsessed with Sherlock since the first time he saw him, when Sherlock showed up to take his mum's soul. But Sherlock was a spectre and John's a human, and John just couldn't do it anymore.

    Fortunately, Lestrade refused to take no for an answer.

    "I," Lestrade said, and then paused. "So you're in love with him, then. With Sherlock, I mean."

    An embarrassed flush seeped into John's face. He said nothing.

    "Because there might be an answer to this. But you'd have to be for it to work."

    John kept looking at him. He'd relaxed a little, though, the wary tension in his muscles easing. "Yeah, I guess I am," he said with a bitter smile. "God, what that says about me..."

    It said a lot of things, Lestrade thought, not the least of which was that John Watson was an idiot in his own right. "You know that to be with Sherlock, you can't be alive anymore."

    "Yeah. I figured that."

    Summary

    ‘Orphans make the best recruits.’ This may be true for field agents, but perhaps not for quartermasters. A series of drabbles depicting Q’s relationship with his brothers and men who were important to them Holmeses.

    (Or: Where Q and Mycroft try matchmaking each other and Sherlock observes in derision until he realises that James Bond and John have a history. Greg is amused. Bromance and BAMF-ness ensue.)
