epiphany; a moment when you suddenly feel that you understand, or suddenly become conscious of, something that is very important to you
Mycroft has one of them when Greg gets ready to leave.
Cool Grey by @oneblueumbrella, rated GA, words 3,694
Greg attends the work New Years' Eve party out of professional obligation. When someone gets engaged at midnight, he leaves, loneliness sitting heavy on his heart. He doesn't expect Mycroft... or the quiet talk in the garden, or what comes after.
Whammed! by @lavenderandvanilla, rated T, words 447 (WIP)
Another year, another opportunity to play Whamagedden. Greg Lestrade is hoping this year will be different. It should be, since it’s his first Christmas with Mycroft.

The last day to post a fic to the Mystrade Holiday Collection is almost upon us. At 11:59 pm EST (or sometime after) on Jan 6, 2026 the 2025 collection will close. A final update will be posted later on January 7th.
I want to thank all the authors who have contributed so far to the Mystrade Holiday 2025 Collection. We are a small ship and every fic is treasured.
Character A has thrown a New Year’s Eve party. Character B surprises Character A by staying after to help them clean up.
The game is to write a flash fic this weekend and post it here (or with a link to the fic on AO3) on Monday with the hashtag Mystrade Monday.
Flash fiction is a complete story that is less than 1,000 words. 360mg is complete fic of 360 words with the last two beginning with “M” and “G” in any order. Please spread the word.
Hot tip: if you tag @mystradepromptsandscenarios , we’ll reblog it.
Happy New Year! We have three new fics in the collection, bringing the total to twelve. Also another WIP has been completed. Start 2026 off right with some holiday Mystrade. Don’t forget to leave kudos and comments to help the authors have a great start to their year. Keep reading below to find the links.
The collection remains open until the end of the day January 6, 2026. Because the collection is open and unmoderated you can add a fic anytime up until then.
Thank you so much to all the authors who have contributed so far!
A Mystrade Holiday Card for 2025 by @lavenderandvanilla, rated GA, words 615
It’s that time of year to send out holiday greetings. Greg and Mycroft team up again to create their holiday card.
On the Eve of a Christmas Miracle by AbAbsurdo, rated M, words 2,171
Mycroft always knew the difference between the emotional and the physical, and the first was out of the question.
Greg has a different opinion. Even if he thought it was too late.
Sometimes, everyone is happy to be wrong.
“You are mine, and I am yours, and no one in the world can alter that.”
The twelve huntsmen - Fairy tale by The Brothers Grimm
The Birdbath by @johannadc, rated GA, words 874
Mycroft had to travel at the last minute over Christmas, and Greg misses him, but some Christmas magic might make everything ok.

This is a BIG update! We are up to nine fics in the collection! In addition two WIPs are now complete. Set aside some time this weekend to enjoy these wonderful holiday works. Be sure to let the authors know how much you enjoyed them while you are there. Keep reading to see the links to the fics.
Before you do, I want to give a big thank you to the writers who have added fics to the collection. Without their efforts, there is no collection. Remember the collection is open and unmoderated. It will close at the end of the day on January 6, 2026. There’s still plenty of time to add your fic, and it doesn’t have to be completed by January 6.
Say Something, Anything. by @inkwovenworlds, rating GA, words 2,251
"I wish I could spend Boxing Day with my partner... That's all I want this year." Greg had never experienced 221B Baker Street this quiet.
"Wait, what?" John spoke first, his hand raised. "You're seeing someone?" A wide grin appeared on his lips.
"Obviously he is seeing someone, John!"
Or, a new Christmas tradition at 221B forces Greg to make a wish. Will it be granted?
First Christmas by @stlgeekgirl, rating GA, words 1,909
How in the world-when you're in a relationship with a man as equally powerful as God-do you find the perfect way to celebrate your first Christmas together?
Secret Santa by @inkwovenworlds, rating T, words 5,007
Secret Santa.
As simple as it seems what do you gift someone who can afford everything? Greg already knows the answer and tries his best to make Mycroft's gift as unforgettable as he can.
And in the end he receives his Secret Santa. The best gift he has received in a long time.
Mistletoe by @littlefluffycloudsao3, rating T, words 1,777 (WIP)
Mycroft got the call only ten days before Christmas–his mother fell off a ladder trying to hang mistletoe, a ridiculous tradition encouraging questionably consensual physical contact. After he whisked his parents to London for better care, Mycroft soon realised that he hadn’t considered the risk of hosting his parents as unexpected houseguests during her recovery. Or that mistletoe was not her only option for matchmaking.
"How am I supposed to find the perfect present in just four days?”

You thought I was done creating stupid prompts? Nope.
I learned absolutely nothing from all the ao3 subscribers who unfollowed me during Schlocktober, so here are some schlocky prompts for December.
FAQs:
Why "schlock"?
It means trash/junk, and that's the content I'm striving for with these prompts. Think Chuck Tingle and "This Bisexual Snowman's Carrot Wiener Is In My Butthole." Think Jingle All The Way or Violent Night. (I say all of these things affectionately)
What fandom is this for?
Whatever fandom you want. Original fiction is okay too.
What about RPF?
RPF is fine, so long as it's clearly fictional. See the few rules below.
What ships can I write/draw?
Any of them.
Even [my fandom's most despised ship]?
Especially [your fandom's most despised ship].
What if I want to combine prompts? What if I want to write or draw things out of order? What if...
Go for it. The rules are made up and the points don't matter. Celebrate Jingle Bell Schlock in February for all I care.
Are crossovers okay?
Do. Whatever. You. Want.
What if I want to create something problematic?
That's 90% of what we do here.
What does [prompt] mean?
You tell me. It's all open to interpretation. I've seen people turn what I thought were the smuttiest prompts into safe for work fluff, and I've seen more benign prompts turned to absolute filth.
What are the vibes?
Just have fun.
But other people are having fun wrong!
Shut the fuck up.
Are there any rules at all?
Sure.
No irl bigotry, threats, etc.
Your characters can be problematic as all get out, but if you try to post a weird pro-JK Rowling essay or a manifesto about overthrowing the government of Guam, you're not going in the collection, bud. Don't kill the vibes.
No AI use.
If you need an LLM to write your schlock for you, consider a long walk off a short pier. If you need it to do your editing for you, use a beta reader instead. A stick figure peed into a snow bank is better than soulless AI art.
Tag appropriately.
'Creator Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings' means anything goes. 'No Archive Warnings Apply' means your work is guaranteed not to contain any of the major archive warnings (non-con, major character death, graphic violence, or underage sex). Schlock readers deserve to be informed.
How do I participate?
There's an ao3 collection right here:
Jingle Bell Schlock on ao3
The collection will open for submissions on November 14th.
If you're posting on bsky, just hashtag #jinglebellschlock or @ schlocktober.

A Heart for Christmas by @inkwovenworlds, rated T, words 1,549
After a disastrous Christmas dinner, Mvcroft received an unexpected visitor Greg brings cocoa, marshmallows and the quiet determination to stay. What begins as ar awkward late-night visit turns into something neither of them had expected.
Greg’s advent calendar by LiliBetto, rated GA, words 9,605 (WIP)
After months of silence between them, Mycroft quietly begins leaving small gifts for Greg—one for each day of December. Greg finds himself pulled back toward the man he pushed away. As Christmas approaches, Greg must decide whether he’s ready to open the final door—and let Mycroft back into his life.

We have two fics in the the collection! Go give them some love! To see specific links and summaries keep reading.
Miracle on Archangel Lane by @copgirl1964, rated M, 1,092 words (WIP)
The story begins on the First Advent 1946 when Gabriel Book remembers the encounter with a stranger on a train.
The story will consist of five chapters - one for each Advent sunday and one for Christmas. It's my version (well, one of them) how Gabriel Book and Mycroft Holmes could be one and the same person.
A Wish at First Snow by @inkwovenworlds, Rated GA, 2,222 words.
A late-night walk.
The first snowfall of winter.
A wish Greg never meant to make and Mycroft Holmes right beside him.
Sometimes, the first snow brings the truth to light.
