Summary
Another "first time." So many ways to imagine happening what has never been shown but also never ruled out.
This one came from thinking how much we like Lestrade cocky and sexy and in control--and how, in some ways, that seemed potentially unlikely for a man presumed to have been closeted gay or bi, married, trying to sort things out in middle-age after a rough divorce. So in this one Mycroft's taking the lead, if wracked with his own uncertainties.
This has very little explicit in it... Character work, dialog, and tentative first moves, no more.
I considered calling it "Mycroft's Song," but chose the quote from "Kathy's Song" instead. I like it that way.

Summary
Or: A story about how two pipers can get on in one tavern.
Sometimes, you have to do something for yourself. Greg decides to sign up for the London's Gay Men's Chorus in a flash of insight that he hasn't really had gay friends since college and then promptly forgets about it again. Until he gets a call about being at the top of the waiting list. Of course he's still interested.

Summary
Fluff. I often let Lestrade take the emotional lead--even if he's not the experienced player on the gay team, he seems likely to be the more experienced player in total, and by far the more at ease with romance. But there are good reasons to play it the other way around a bit. So this story mixes it up a little. Mycroft may not be a pillar of swaggering male confidence, but he's definitely a bit more together about this than Lestrade...poor behbehs.

Summary
The watercolor painting on his studio table mimics the sunset: stains of color running into one another, edges blurring and lines saturating around coin-sized pools of wet pigment. He watches as the gleam of color dulls into a dry matte, and he thinks of how his own life is doing the same. A drying out of the steadfast and glorious career of Mycroft Holmes, his covert accomplishments disintegrating into the bones of an archaeological dig that no one will ever even think to fund.
Mycroft Holmes has sequestered himself in a desolate part of the world as he struggles with the consequences of the events at Sherrinford. He is confronted with the unexpected when a visitor appears on his doorstep.
