Finding a Fic

Hello! Looking for a fix I loved and read ages ago and hoping for help 😊

It’s a Sentinel AU—Mycroft is the head sentinel (or at least most powerful sentinel?) in the UK, and he comes to Greg’s aid when Greg’s stepson, who he’s raised since he was a baby with an ex-girlfriend, bursts into Scotland Yard for help. The boy (around 10?) is coming online with his psychic powers and it turns out he’s going to be a jaw-droppingly powerful sentinel, so he’s instinctively sought out Greg for help and comfort. Mycroft shelters them both at his home while helping Greg referee the political minefield the situation puts them in—the boy’s maternal grandpa is the head sentinel of France, and the head sentinel and guide of the US pop up to support Mycroft. John and Sherlock show up for a few chapters to help/provide comic relief—Sherlock is the UK’s most powerful sentinel next to Mycroft and claims London as his territory.

I remember a few more details, if they’re needed. Hoping someone remembers the fic and knows if it’s still somewhere on AO3, or has a pdf/epub? Thanks so much in advance!

fanfic searching

Hello! looking for a Mystrade fanfic where that has something to do with photos being leaked and having to find who is behind it. I think I read it on ao3. There is one chapter where they walk into a trap, and Greg is seriously injured as a result. I have been searching for this for 3 days and would appreciate it if someone knew what is this. Thank you!!!!

Join the Mystrade RP Discord server!

Hi! I've made a discord server for RPing - mostly Mystrade but if you'd prefer to be anyone else I'm sure we can fit you in! Please join at https://discord.gg/Zydden6M if you're interested! 😁 Hopefully it'll be similar to Omegle in its absence and fill a void in all our hearts 👍

Sherlock BBC RP server

Hi!

Omegle has apparently died, so I've started a discord server to fill the void until it either rights itself, or doesn't. Please feel free to join me at https://discord.gg/qE7rh9cn It won't be the same but I hope that we'll get the hang of it. Still very much under construction, so bear with me while we sort things out.

Interest issues!!

Is anyone else having issues with the mystrade tag? I used it all the time and it isn't working, but all other ones are - it just ignores it like I haven't put an interest in. I've tried on my phone & laptop, clearing the cache on both, using a VPN, using a different VPN, changing the browser 😅 any help would be much appreciated 😁

Does anyone still RP on Omegle?

I do a bit and there's some good Mystrade but there's no link to the fandom anywhere. No subs, no FB groups/pages almost nothing mentioned anywhere. It's one of my favourite forms of content since I'm too ADHD to sit down and work out a whole fanfic. I've been on it for about a decade now.

LF Gregory realises being gay very late

Hi, like the title says, I am looking for a fic including that as important part of the plot, leading finally to Gregory and Mycroft getting together. Mycroft knows he's gay since forever. I would be happy if the story is long. Thanks in advance

Looking for a fic

I'd like to read a fic that may or may not already exist. Anybody seen something similar? Otherwise feel free to embellish on the points for your own story...

-Mycroft has been quietly pining for lestrade for years

-They sleep together. Don't really care what leads to this. Clearly not lots of talking though. Could be baskerville-esque drugs, maybe Lestrade somehow doesn't realise it's mycroft, I don't know. Mycroft thinks his dreams have come true but Lestrade assumes it's a one night stand and can't get out of there fast enough after (standard one night stand etiquette).

-Takes Lestrade a long time to figure out why Mycroft isn't being friendly anymore or turning up to his crime scenes. Maybe he figures it out himself, maybe he says something to Sherlock and Sherlock tells him.

Does something like this exist? I just had the thought of the initial misunderstanding as Lestrade leaves and wondered if maybe I'd read it somewhere and I'd like to read it again :D

Bad Decisions In Mystrade Fanfic

Anthea as Mary Moran. Anthea as Andrea. Anthea as an emotional Mary Sue. Absolutely not!

Anthea has no real name, her chosen name is *perfect* and Anthea must always be enigmatic.

Fic Recs

Hi guys,

Apologies if this list already exists somewhere, I haven’t had much luck finding it yet.

I’m looking for recommendations for fanfic (preferably finished) of Mystrade that is realistic, not AU and set prior to the beginning of their relationship.

I’m looking for first meetings or first acknowledgments of attraction. Fics that show some of the pressures of their jobs, and them acknowledging those similarities in each other.

I’m especially looking for fics where Mycroft is reluctant to give in to temptation due to job pressures until something makes him snap.

If you know anything good that fits any part of this description, please let me know!

"Sunset" --Fan Art by Cuchabra, Ficlet by Lavender_and_Vanilla

The serene expression on Mycroft’s face pleased Greg. It was a rare sight. He leaned close and whispered in Mycroft’s ear. “Tuppence for your thoughts?”

“I was thinking how indulgent it is to be sitting here in my shirt sleeves in February enjoying a beautiful sunset with you.” Mycroft’s voice was a quiet murmur and blended with the soft sounds of the ocean beyond.

Greg chuckled. “I would indulge you every day, if you’d let me.”

“If you indulged me every day, it wouldn’t seem so special.” Mycroft was bemused.

Greg kissed Mycroft’s cheek and rested his forehead against Mycroft’s temple. Gentle fingers stroked Mycroft’s hand. He felt intense contentment wash over him. “You’re special. Everyday with you is special.”

Mycroft took Greg’s hand in his own. “Funny, I was thinking the same thing, of you.”

Thank you Cuchabra for my raffle prize! It is beautiful. <3

The Tenth Muse

I have a new story up on AO3! Please enjoy!

It isn't deduction for Mycroft; it's a living nightmare that leads to self-imposed isolation. When Sherlock "dies," Mycroft finds himself reaching out for a golden slice of happiness, just one person to call his own in a landscape of horrors.

Blocking subs?

Does anybody know if there is a way to block subreddits? I know I can block individual people, but if I'm scrolling through "all" I'd like to just not see "gonewild" or whateverthehell. I've tried to search for an answer and there is bupkis.

New chapters

Not sure why, but I got inspired on a couple of older stories, so here you go...

Boys of Summer, Part V, Chapter 3

https://archiveofourown.org/works/14575482/chapters/40271579

Reciprocation, Chapter 6 (7th and final chp will probably go up this weekend)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/15037730/chapters/40392821

As always, kudos and comments are super duper appreciated. After tumblr made me persona non grata, I think I've been getting even less traffic than usual. And I wasn't getting much to begin with, so...
