Title: Your Friend is Your Needs Answered
Recipient: penaltywaltz
Author: milverton / AlgySwinburne
Verse: BBC Sherlock
Characters/Pairings: Mary Morstan/Janine, Molly Hooper/Greg Lestrade (mentioned), Sherlock Holmes, John Watson
Rating: T
Warnings: None
Summary: Old friends, new flames.
A/N: Dear penaltywaltz: I glanced at your AO3 and Tumblr to see which femslash pairing I could take a stab at and loved the idea of Mary/Janine. I also see you’re a Molly fan, so I gave her a bit of lovin’ too. Apologies for the slight angst at the start; it is ephemeral, I promise. Happy Holmestice!

Author: swissmarg
Recipient: tiltedsyllogism
Beta reader: frodosweetstuff
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 21K
Relationships: Sherlock/John, Greg/Molly, past Sherlock/Victor
Summary: When Greg asks Sherlock to be his best man, the past returns in an unexpected way, confronting Sherlock and John with the need to define what they are to each other. Set about a year after series 3.
Warnings: Food is used as a compensatory mechanism of sorts in this story, although there is no depiction of eating disorders. However, if descriptions of food, eating, and the enjoyment of food might be uncomfortable for you, please proceed with caution.
Notes: Dear giftee, your request was rather broad which I always find has two sides because I felt free to write pretty much anything but I'm not sure if it will suit your taste. In any case you mentioned exploring something about a character that intrigued me along with some Greg/Molly so that's what I tried to do. I hope you enjoy it!

Title: First Days And Second Chances
Recipient: meredydd
Author: Ragna (scandalbaby)
Pairings/Characters: Greg Lestrade/Molly Hooper and Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Rating: PG
Summary: It’s Molly’s first day back to work after having her daughter with Lestrade and he’s going to enjoy the day alone with his daughter. But complications arrive when he gets stuck in the middle of the fight Sherlock and John are having, and he offers advice to each of the two men.
Authors Notes: I had a lot of fun writing this for Meredydd! I got two prompts for two different ships that I thought would make the perfect story when blended together: “Lestrade and Molly are now parents to an infant and he is alone with the baby for the first time ever when Molly returns to work at St. Bart's” and “Sherlock and John are each planning on proposing to the other and trying to be secretive, which leads to each thinking the other is cheating/hiding a major secret/unhappy.” I hope you enjoy it, sweetie!
