Summanus
Mycroft awakened to thunder.
He reached out, surprised to find the empty space beside him.
After years of secretly pining for the man, they were together at last. Still, a part of him marveled that he had become familiar with Greg’s presence, enough that he was now missing the man who should be beside him.
It took a moment for Mycroft to realize not only that Greg had not returned, but also that he was not in the en suite.
He frowned, remembering when Greg once told him he did not sleep during night storms. It dawned on Mycroft then that this was the first time they had shared a bed together through such a heavy storm. Naturally, Greg would not want to disturb him with his restlessness, so he left him to his slumber.
Mycroft donned his dressing gown and made his way to the home office.
The skies were dark and ominous, clouds laden with imminent rain.
Greg stood outside the slightly opened French door to the balcony, oblivious to the wind blowing madly, the silver strands of his hair whipping about his head.
With his eyes closed rapturously, Greg took a deep breath.
He raised one arm out to the sky, five fingers outstretched…
Four…
Three…
Two…
One… Greg’s fingers flew open just as lightning cracked across the sky and…
BOOM!
It looked as though Greg were Summanus, the dark god of night storms, summoning the elements at his command as the clouds unloaded their burden.
Greg ducked inside, locking the doors with rich laughter just as heavy drops splashed hard against the panes.
Warm brown eyes raked over Mycroft, “Hello, Luv…”
Mycroft thought Greg’s restlessness had stemmed from a childhood fear of storms.
Mycroft was wrong.
It was not because of fear.
Mycroft could not help kissing him, laying a hand on Greg’s wet chest. “...I know that smile.”
“And I know yours…” Greg opened Mycroft’s dressing gown. “Whatcha gonna do about it?”
“What any zealot does before a deity…” Mycroft placed his hand inside the waistband of Greg’s pajama bottoms, “...genuflect and…” and pulled them down as he dropped to his knees.
“...worship my god.”

Trying to find the right chord to strike for Greg bc I think it’s rly corny and lame when ppl just make Mystrade into Johnlock 2.0 bc they are not the same ship by any means. So I don’t think Greg is a closet case like John is. I think he’s VERY aware he likes men AND women. But I also think that means he’s very aware of how he’ll be treated and I think self-preservation kicks in for him. So it isn’t so much a problem he has with himself, but rather a problem he has with the lack of control he has over how others treat him. And I think if you give him some kind of struggle with a lack of control, that adds to both his compatibility with Mycroft AS WELL AS the ongoing conflict in their relationship.
I know Greg is one of the more laidback characters in the show, but I think Mystrade would benefit from a ControlFreak4ControlFreak dynamic.. narratively speaking. It ravages them at an interpersonal level
^ “Greg is one of the more laidback characters in the show” in the very first episode he broke into Sherlock’s flat and tore his shit apart doing a fake drugs bust for funsies just to get an answer abt a case. He absolutely is a control freak LMAOOO
Lestrade liking Mycroft's belly, laziness and strict routine following hmmmmm yes
His Last Bow had Mycroft and Lestrade spending quite the time together 👀
