A Holmesian Solstice

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.)

Summary: When two near-strangers intended to share lodgings, it was best that they knew the worst of each other before they entered into an agreement.

Holmes was an excellent violinist and a habitual user of morphia, but Watson did not know that yet. Nor did he know that he could be reduced to stupefied despair by a full moon.

Characters/Pairings: Mycroft Holmes & Cyrus Douglas
Rating: G
Warnings: n/a
Summary: I only started reading the Mycroft Holmes series because of the amazing fanwork of everyone from Holmestice. Thank you everyone for introducing me to a verse I now love dearly!

A friend and I picked out these Mycroft & Cyrus fancasts together. Mycroft is portrayed by Colin Morgan in The Happy Prince and Cyrus is portrayed by Chiwetel Ejiofor in Dancing on the Edge. It was pretty funny when I realized my Mycroft fancast's role was Bosie Douglas, but not as funny as realizing what Sherlockian role Ejiofor has played. I'll let you look that one up yourselves lol.

Verse: Sherlock Holmes (ACD); The Grand Duke (Gilbert & Sullivan)
Characters/Pairings: Mycroft Holmes., Sherlock Holmes, Grand Duke Rudolph
Words: ~2600
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Summary: Either the following material is an out-and-out forgery...or just possibly, Gilbert and Sullivan owe the central plot device of their last operetta to none other than Sherlock Holmes. (Which is to say, the story to which this summary is attached raises a hell of a lot more questions than it answers.)
