After months of limited computer access, I have finally got two chapters out.
"Doubts and Determination" is my next one for Tis Folly To Be Wise, my Rivers of London/Sherlock x-over AU.
Next chapter of Silence in the Library is also up, my Mystrade/Dalgliesh fusion au.

This was simply lovely.
Apparently the fic is part of a larger AU where Greg is a famous actor, and Mycroft, an equally famous mystery writer. Just roll with that premise if you’ve not read the larger series (I hadn’t), because the writing is so sharp and hilarious, the characterizations so deliciously odd, it was a treat and a half from start to finish.
See, Mycroft has discovered Black Friday and is as utterly obsessed with finding the best deals as you might expect for an over-achieving oddball like him. Greg is less enthused with the shopping, but in love enough to smooth out the rough corners (... almost ...). Also, there is a cat being confined against his will in case he needs to be measured for his new duds, which is also being done against his will.
And then there are the best bits, for us Mystrade shippers, which I shan’t spoil but will just say is as close to an italicized-oh as we can get in an established relationship, and is every bit as nice as that kind of thing ever is.
All in all: read the fic. It was lovely.

Sherlock BBC: Mystrade version
Emmaline "Emma" Sofia Lestrade Holmes
Faceclaim: Malina Weissman
Tumblr media
Emmaline is the only biological child of Mycroft Holmes
Mother unknown (or is known, but Mycroft doesn't want to go down that rabbit hole again)
Gregory lestrade is her stepfather
Mycroft and Greg married when Emmeline was only a few months old
She is 2 years younger than her twin cousins
Despite the sibling rivalry between her father Mycroft and her uncle Sherlock, she and her cousins get along really well, but they do have their little competition with each other regarding their unique intelligence
She is a master hacker and has secret access to the British and American government security
She often goes behind mycroft and Greg's back and hacks into their systems for either information or because she's bored
She inherited Mycroft's deduction ability along with high intelligence
She has an interest in mechanics and engineering
She loves Greg
Learned fencing
Math, science, and chemistry genius
Loves Rosamund and Allison
She often joins her cousins on their cases
She and the twins run on caffeine if a case gets challenging
She has raging OCD
She plays the harp, lyre, piano, and flute
Emma and the twins play games together, whether it's deduction games or board games.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Tyler Pierce Lestrade
Faceclaim: Keean Johnson
Tumblr media
Tyler is the biological son of Gregory Lestrade
He has multiple siblings. His oldest sibling is at college in america
He originally was in his mother's custody, but he would visit Greg a lot as a kid
As he got older, he thought Greg didn't care about him. So he would get into trouble with the police to get his dad's attention
Tyler didn't like Mycroft as he grew up or Emmaline. He thought that they were the reason he wasn't around him or his siblings growing up and that he was replaced
Things between Tyler, Emmeline, and Mycroft were tense until Tyler and Emmeline slowly started to get along then Mycroft slowly followed
After Tyler slowly got more involved with his dad and his new step-father and step-sister, he got involved with the Holmes children and their adventures, which he did not mind except the many enemies trying to kill a bunch of teenagers
When Tyler went to school with Emmaline and her cousins, he would always threaten the bullies who would dare to make fun of his new family (he always denies it, tho)
Tyler has a short temper and is aggressive
He loves to skateboard and do graffiti
Is a great liar and can come up with an alibi in a snap
He is incredibly sarcastic, and he is always questioning his life choices
He plays the drums as a hobby to smash or hit his feelings with sticks
Spends most of his time with the Holmes family
He will never admit it, but he loves the Holmes family as his own and will fight with and for them
Loves family game nights
The family dinners are a bit "extreme," but they are also very entertaining

Drew this based on my fic’s Pawns trying on crowns fourth chapter (of course) instead of writing next chapter. For a little context: Greg is homeless, that’s why he looks... The way he looks, yeah. Not much to say there, hope it’s not cinge to illustrate your own fics.

Everyone has a soulmate. Everyone. It's simple human biology. Over the course of every person's life, they develop tattoos of the things their soulmate loves most.
Though he has always disliked the concept, Mycroft Holmes is painted from head to toe with dozens of brightly-coloured tattoos. Greg Lestrade, once-firm believer and hopeless romantic, has just nine. They are all quietly sophisticated, sketched in smooth shades of black and grey and easy to hide.
Neither of them has gained a tattoo in years. But when they both suddenly find new markings, things finally fall into place.
I finished another fic!  (Five days ago, but we’re going to ignore the lateness of this post.)
Our Love Keeps the Things It Finds is one of my favourite things I’ve written.  It’s a Mystrade soulmate AU in which people develop tattoos of the things their soulmate loves most.
Word count is about 25,000 and it’s rated T with no applicable AO3 warnings.  Contains opera, goldfish, and idiots in love.

“The blood of Christ.” Greg closed his mouth and swallowed, his throat working. “Amen,” he said, and for half a second there was something in his gaze: an intensity, a pulse of awareness. Maybe want. Want of something. Mycroft was definitely imagining it. It was not possible that what he felt surging through his own traitorous body was mirrored back to him. He turned to the next parishioner, movements robotic, as Greg rose and went back to his seat.
get in losers, we’re sexualizing catholicism

Got the first chapters of my winner's stories out for the Rupert Graves 60th birthday auction (finally). Real life being what it is, it's taken me this long, apologies to @daltongraham and Mary (who isn't on tumblr), my winners.
Silence in the Library is up, Mycroft has retired and turned librarian, and Greg is a policeman/poet investigating a spate of murder tied up with book thefts. Cue our favourite policeman who doesn't realise he's also Mycroft’s favourite poet. In this AU they haven't already met.

My second one, Holmes: Ragnarok, has Mycroft running from an unnamed threat in the dead of night when sent a coded warning by his assistant. There's only one person safe enough to call for help. Greg is a bit BAMF and Mycroft is definitely out of his comfort zone.

I wrote something for Mystrade Monday, lightly inspired by that picture and the first @mystradepromptsandscenarios suggestion this go-round.
Greg's an art teacher, Mycroft's a supply teacher, and they fancy each other. But what happens when Mycroft's week is up?
Happy Mystrade Monday!

Scene from my fic's Pawns trying on crowns 10th chapter! Took me more than I expected, still not satisfied (as always). But, you know, still better than writing a new chapter...
