Summary
Mycroft has groomed his persona as the Ice Man, but sometimes he needs thing to get a little hot. Cue his inherited ability to shape-shift; he transforms into someone else and burns off his pent up sexual energy.
It's a system that has worked beautifully for years. Until, that is, he becomes mildly obsessed with getting into Lestrade's pants. Unfortunately, no matter what guise he approaches the man in, Mycroft strikes out. His hunger for Lestrade isn't helped by the time the two spend together.
In the end he finds the solution surprising.

Summary
Greg was 36 when he first met Mycroft.
The man in the three-piece suit had been waiting in his office, uninvited, the day after Greg had found himself taking advice from a junkie (and smart-arse) on how to interpret his crime scene.
Greg was sure he saw the younger man’s expression positively lighten the moment his gaze fell on Greg, but that was soon replaced by what might be disappointment, which immediately faded, leaving a polite neutrality that gave nothing away.

Summary
It seemed that Lestrade's salt-and-pepper hair grew in the same on his face as it did on his head. His beard was bristly, patchy, viscerally appealing in a way that had little to do with aesthetics and more to do with masculine sensuality. Mycroft was stood rapt, conjuring up the rough brush of the beard against his lips without having moved an inch. His apprehension dropped away, lost behind a painful stab of want.
Christmas, when he and Lestrade had both been strong-armed into growing beards for a cause, proved to be the turning point for the whole desperate, shattering, uncomfortable scenario.

Summary
The door opened and a new arrival came in. Mycroft straightened his back and took a good look at the newcomer.
Dressed in blue jeans and a white shirt, he could easily be one of the most handsome men Mycroft had the pleasure of meeting -or not meeting- in his entire life. With a dash of exaggeration. But not much.Written for Mystrade is Meet Cute May Challenge & Mystrade Monday Prompts: "You know you can't fool me."
