Author:jagnikjen
Characters/Pairings: Greg Lestrade, Mycroft Holmes, Anthea, OFCs, OMCs, Greg/Mycroft, Mycroft/Anthea,
Rating: R for one instance of masturbation, mildy described
Word Count: 8483 (this part)
Warnings: Some mild suspending of disbelief might be required.
Summary: Detective Inspector Greg Lestrade is a closet Scottish history buff and has traveled to Scotland on his first holiday in several years to participate in war re-enactments. Fascinated, Greg inspects the stones after an outdoor performance in celebration of Midsummer’s Eve and finds himself hurtled through time.
Author’s Notes: First—Thanks to the mods for this assignment. I’m guessing it was because ofoboetheres and my mutual appreciation of Mystrade. But whatever the reason, it was the perfect assignment for me.
Second—Thanks tooboetheres for the prompts. I’m afraid I latched onto the bits that I liked and might not have done justice to a possibly important component request. I hope my recipient will forgive me… I’d been meh about writing for a while, but once the idea for this fic solidified, I had a blast writing it and I remembered how much I enjoy writing and why. Thank you!
Third—Many thanks to my friendcece_away for her initial read through and encouragement, and a HUGE THANKS to recentlyfolded for the beta. Her comments and observations pushed me in a good way and this fic is infinitely better for her help. Any reduction in quality of the last bits of this is because my fic eyes ended up being much larger than my time-frame stomach and I simply ran out of time. That said, this fic has basically become part one of a two-part series, so any rough patches will probably (eventually) be smoothed out and Greg’s interesting adventure will continue.
Fourth—Gaelic compiled from these websites:
http://www.faclair.com/
http://www.omniglot.com/language/phrases/gaelic.php
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Glossary_of_Scottish_slang_and_jargon
Any errors are completely my own mis-interpretation of the texts.
Names came from: http://www.namenerds.com/scottish/gaelicdude.html
Fourth—The title is a mangled version of a Tennessee Williams quote.
Fifth—Yes, it’s a shameful theft of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander premise. *sorrynotsorry*
