Characters/Pairings: ‘Anthea’, Mycroft Holmes, Lady Smallwood, No pairing
Rating: Teen and up
Warnings: Mentions of drug use. Mentions of 2016 Brussels bombings, the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, and other terrorist attacks.
Summary: After having used up all favours he had with people at foreign intelligence services, Mr Holmes had tracked Sherlock down. Andrea really wished she didn’t know about some of the things he had promised to get the information he needed, because she wasn’t sure she was ready to lie under oath for him. He had asked for help, though, and to Lady Smallwood she had no problem bending the truth a little.Most people think she is Mr Holmes PA. Her nieces thinks she is a spy. Lady Smallwood knows she’s neither. Mr Holmes knows she’s both. Her dates think she works in politics. The woman in question… isn’t sure.
Note: Hi,
ancientreader!
Thank you for the prompts (and thank you mods for the match)! I took the “Whatever became of Anthea?” and ran with it. I hope you enjoy it, I had a lot of fun writing it. (and I’m stuck contemplating “Did Mrs. Hudson ever meet Irene Adler?” so that might come later…)
Also thank you to
zedille who did some amazing beta work and a lot of support throughout.
As for Anthea’s name in this fic, I’m going with Andrea, the name she has on the script according to the
Sherlock Series 1-3 Special Limited Edition Collector’s Box.
