    Summary

    In the summer of 2011, psychiatrist and FBI consultant Dr. Hannibal Lecter travels with a crack forensic team to the murder capital of America to assist the New Orleans field office in hunting a possible serial killer. But bodies aren't the most interesting thing he finds when the water starts to rise.

    Or, what would have happened if Will never left Louisiana?

    Summary

    "Lestrade had forgotten how different it was, kissing a man. The rough intensity, the raw strength of his partner, pushing harder, overpowering and being overpowered — all juxtaposed with astonishing gentleness, the feeling of being cared for, not just having to take care… Lestrade wondered why he’d given it up."

    I wrote this for the Mystrade Advent Calendar that I just learned, through the @mystrade-advent-calendar tumblr, that due to lack of submissions isn't on this year. RATS!

    However, as I wrote it already, here it is for your reading pleasure.

    The rules: Mystrade at Christmas, a standalone story that's brand new and no more than 5,000 words. This baby is EXACTLY 5,000.

    A big thank you and shoutout to the Mystrade-Advent-Calendar people. This is the first prompt and/or challenge I've taken on and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I only regret that it isn't "official."

    Summary

    Mycroft sees things other people can’t. Lights, spectres, shades, demons, phantasms, and creatures that no one else can see. Voices no one else can hear. Colours eddying around people’s bodies, visible only to his eyes.

    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.

    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.
