Title: She's Got Eyes Of The Bluest Skies (As If They Thought Of Rain)
Recipient: afteriwake/penaltywaltz
Author: REDACTED
Verse: BBC Sherlock
Characters/Pairings: Greg Lestrade & Bianca Lestrade (his daughter), Greg Lestrade/Mycroft Holmes
Rating: Gen
Warnings: None
Summary: "Her dad was talking to someone again, she could tell. She could always tell when he came home late, smiley and blushing and twirling the keys in his fingers. Since she was “only ten,” or whatever her mom kept saying, she was too young to officially know these things. She knew anyway, though. She may be ten, but she was not stupid, and she knew what it was like when one of her parents had gotten a new boyfriend."

10-year-old Bianca Lestrade doesn't mind having divorced parents, honestly. However, she does mind when her dad is spending all her time with this new guy. (Spoiler alert: the "new guy" is Mycroft. She doesn't mind Mycroft.)

Authors Notes: So this is my gift to capsquared! I had a lot of fun writing this, even if I thought it was going to go on forever before I sat down and Mycroft was like "Nope. You can write sequels after the reveal." So enjoy this one shot, and if you want, I'll gift the other boarding school/university-era fics to you! There's also a Rosemary & Thyme reference if anyone watches that show. See if you spot it!

Also, many thanks to my beta [REDACTED] for Brit-picking and fixing my grammar mistakes as I finished chapter 3 on no sleep and with a lot of coffee.
