-I'm the King of the Castle! by fantasybean

Sherlock, John, and their toddler, Hamish, spend a week with the Royals. With a toddler, a genius, and an ex-army soldier, things were never going to run smoothly anyway, were they?

[ 16/16, parentlock, briefly mentioned Mystrade. ]

-Unsettled by AxeMeAboutAxinomancy

Sherlock's dæmon hadn't settled. Once John realised that, so much made sense. Though so much else didn't, because it practically wasn't possible.

[ 10/10, His Dark Materials AU ]

-Simple Gifts by agameofscones (orithea)

Every person is born with one innate talent. They are also born with one soulmate, and the full potential of their talent is not realized until they've found that person.

“So why does it matter to find your person if you’re okay without them?”

“Because”—Mummy sighs, and perhaps sounds the littlest bit sad—“you are perfectly okay without them, but that doesn’t change that you’ll always be better with them.”

[ oneshot, soulmates and magical realism, mentions of Mystrade ]

-A Very Sherlock Musical by flawedamythyst

So, you know how musicals are set in a world where people just burst into song every five minutes, and everyone around them automatically knows to join in with the tune and choreography? This fic is set in that world.

John finds it extremely frustrating that Sherlock won't sing their theme song with him.

Not Season 3-compliant.

[ oneshot, musical AU ]

-Luminosity by what_alchemy

John and his daughter come to live at 221B.

[ oneshot, parentlock, series 3 spoilers. ]

-Learning Curve by allfinehere

John is a Kindergarten teacher. One of his students, a boy named Henry Holmes, refuses to speak in school. John is determined to get to the bottom of it, and that is how he meets Sherlock Holmes.

***-As the Stars of Heaven: Holmesian Reproductive Strategies by Tammany

Some concerns are unavoidable for responsible middle-aged men of a certain style and dignity. Mycroft's got to decide what to do about the estate and inheritance and all those good and worthy family sorts of things, given he and Sherlock have no offspring. Family planning the Holmesian way. This is not Holmescest/incest, barring a few mild and tasteless jokes.

This one turned longish and decidedly Mystrade, though quite non-erotica. Love-story. Main characters: Mycroft, Lestrade, Sherlock.

[ 8/8, some parentstrade ]

-Analysis of a Self-Portrait by Tammany

This is very mild, flirty Mystrade. Timing is pretty much any time after Sherlock's return. I just can't write these two as ending up together by mistake: I tend to see them as too adult and too self-aware to blunder into anything. On the other hand, I can see them wickedly, intentionally clever-foxing themselves into something. In this one, Greg Lestrade mischievously opens some lines of inquiry...

[ oneshot ]

**-Mycroft's Vulnerable by Tammany

Still working on "Dancing with the Lightning." That said, this grows out of some of the character conjecture I've been doing in the META stuff.

This is character study in a totally speculative framework. It's Mystrade, of a sort, and it's even romantic. It's got erotic elements. It's just not what I think people expect of any of those things. It's dysfunctional but-still-standing Mycroft, and empathic but pretty tough and non-sentimental Greg. It's non-romantic romance. It's erotica with no sex worth mentioning.

I hope you like it anyway.

[ Series with 5 parts. Summary from part 1. ]

-With This Ring by agameofscones (orithea)

Mycroft’s hand feels naked without his ring.

[ oneshot ]

-Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas by ChelsaOfBakerStreet

Greg is invited to the Holmes's for Christmas, not knowing what might happen.

[ oneshot, implied Johnlock ]

**-An Act Too Often Neglected by Eva

DI Gregory Lestrade is, actually, a silver fox. And it's not an easy life, by any stretch of the imagination.

[ 9/9, Were-creatures AU ]

-MI Sex by marysutherland

A man in the Secret Service naturally keeps a lot of things hidden.

[ 3/3 ]

-Jealous Guy by marysutherland

Lestrade's not insecure normally.

[ 4/4 ]

-David Holmes by marysutherland

Lestrade finds out an unexpected part of Mycroft's past.

Given Summary - Sherlock finds it difficult to live without John in any life, and always remembers how he is taken from him. Or: how many ways can two men die over the course of more than 2000 years?

********* 

Sherlock conducts an experiment in distracting John.

'I'd call you a tease, but—'

+

Sherlock realises that something is wrong the moment he is flanked by people in dark clothing halfway through the park. They circle around him, faces impassive, but their stances tell him they'd take him down if he so much as tries to run. Sherlock moves then, in his crowd of nameless strangers, until there's a familiar tap of an umbrella on a leather shoe. Sherlock's first thought is how did he follow me through before he realises that it's probably this world's Mycroft.

The crowd parts and he sees his brother in this universe for the first time. He's vaguely recognisable, but the Mycroft here has hungry eyes and is leaner than the one Sherlock had left behind with his John. His suit is pale, like his eyes.

'Who are you?' The tone is clipped and short and hateful, sharp as a knife-edge and Sherlock gets the impression that this Mycroft would not hesitate to have him killed if he doesn't answer quickly.

'I'm not your Sherlock. I'm not from here.'

'Obviously. My little brother died four years ago, drugged out of his mind in an unoccupied flat.' Sherlock remembers that night. His dealer had gotten a newer, more expensive strain of drug and they'd all been snorting it fervently. In his world, he'd stopped because Lestrade had been tipped off and broke into the flat to arrest them. 

Sherlock supposes that in this version of the universe, Lestrade hadn't gotten the tip.

'I'd love to be frank with you, but only if you call off the dogs.' Sherlock tilts his head to gesture towards the people standing around him. Mycroft stares at him.

'When I was seven, I cycled down to the end of Peacock Bottoms and you did as well. We found one of Father's hunting dogs dead and frothing at the mouth. You told me it was a toad, and later that night you found me trying to eat one.' A flash of emotion flickers across Mycroft's face; the crease between the eyebrows, the twitch of a lip: but it's gone just as quickly as it came.
