Title: Surveillance (Chapter 2 of Seat Assignment: Open)
Author: saki101
Characters/Pairings: Gregory Lestrade/Mycroft Holmes
Rating: R-ish
Genre: Slash, romance, AU
Word Count: ~1.5K
Disclaimer: Sherlock is not mine and no money is being made.
Summary: Starlight. Conversation. Surveillance tapes.
A/N: Not Series 3 compliant. A continuation of the fic written for Let's Write Sherlock Challenge 13-Vacation Getaway. Although these two chapters may be read alone, they may also be read as part of the Mystrade set of stories which, more or less, began with an earlier holiday in We Are Sorry For Any Inconvenience.

Excerpt: The room at the top of the stairs was dominated by a skylight, a huge oval of star-scattered heavens. By the faint light from the landing, Greg saw a few outlines of furniture and more sky out a series of arched windows making up one wall. It didn’t seem very secure, not at all suited to Mycroft. There was a click and the light disappeared, the stars coming into sharper focus.

Title: Moats
Author: saki101
Characters/Pairings: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, OCs
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Slash
Word Count: ~2.7K
Disclaimer: Sherlock is not mine and no money is being made.
Summary: A fairly straightforward stolen property case yields information about Sherlock's childhood and John's imagination.
Notes: A small, stand-alone case fic inspired by photos. Not Series 3 compliant.
Moats may also be read as part of the Other Experiments Series; it would fit in after Leaf Fall.

Excerpt: "Old moats are full of surprises," Sherlock said. There was a gleam in his eye; the corner of a lip turning up.

It always put them at risk, Sherlock's glee at the prospect of a surprise.

Title: Rue Morgue
Author: saki101
Characters/Pairings: Gregory Lestrade/Mycroft Holmes
Rating: PG
Genre: Slash
Word Count: ~800
Disclaimer: Sherlock is not mine and no money is being made.
Summary: During the Hiatus, one of the Met’s cases and one of Mycroft’s investigations intersect and Greg’s and Mycroft’s interest in one another develops beyond the professional. The photo didn't help.

Excerpt: “May I?” Mycroft asked.

“Be my guest,” Greg replied. “It’d just disappear off the shelf if I said no anyway.”

Rating: R
Genre: Slash

Disclaimer: Sherlock is not mine and no money is being made.
Summary: Sherlock had been counting on the foliage for cover. Nature had other plans.

On AO3

A small stand-alone inspired by the season.

Leaf Fall may also be read as part of the Other Experiments Series; it would fit in a while after Necropolis. (For those who have read Necropolis, there is a small word game in Leaf Fall based on some symbols in the former.)

Excerpt: Sherlock glared through the bare branches of the shrubs curving around the east side of the hillock, dividing it from the lower path and the bench on its verge. Only the holly stood green and glossy to one side. “It wasn’t that windy last night,” he hissed, consulting his phone again. He shoved it in his pocket. A leaf floated past, serrated and gold, to land on the pile that came nearly to his knees.

Title: We're Sorry For Any Inconvenience
Author: saki101
Characters/Pairings: Mycroft Holmes, Gregory Lestrade
Rating: Between PG-13 & R-ish
Genre: pre-slash and rather fluffy
Word Count: ~10K
Disclaimer: Sherlock is not mine and no money is being made.
Summary: Months after The Fall, John doesn't return from a holiday. His friends and family don't report his absence to the police. Mycroft thinks Lestrade may know why. At least that's the ostensible reason for his visit to Lestade's office.
A/N: Written for the Sherlockmas SPF 2013 to fill Prompt #39: Lestrade; upgrade to first class for bwblack)

Also, posted on AO3

Can be read alone.

(The first paragraph is a summary of the opening scene between Mycroft and Lestrade in Carbonado. The full conversation that preceded Mycroft’s offer may be read here.)

We're Sorry For Any Inconvenience may also be read as part of the Other Experiments series where it would fit in after Carbonado.

Excerpt: Lestrade considered the man standing in his office. He was sure that if Sherlock wanted his brother to know he was alive and well and where he and John were, Mycroft wouldn’t be suggesting a friendly chat over dinner. Mycroft gestured towards the door as Greg stood and rounded the desk. He knew it was a dangerous move to accept, but Sherlock wasn’t the only one who loved a challenge.

Summary: John doesn't only write about their cases.
A/N: Written for the Sherlockmas 2013 SPF: First Friday Drabble Day Post to fill Prompt No. 81: Sherlock, John, Lestrade (optional Sally); too many memories of a bad case. Their flexible rules permitted fills longer than 500 words as well. As usual, I've interpreted a prompt in my own strange way.

Posted, also, on AO3.

Can be read alone.

It may also be read as part of the Other Experiments series where it would fit in after Revisionist. (Other Experiments begins with Sometimes.)



Excerpt: “The folks from the theatre were more than willing to help; they’re still grateful about The Navel Treatment case. Well, of course, you know that,” I continued, heading towards the fridge. I reached in and seized a water bottle. “They said we could have kept the hats. Just as well we didn't. That must have been the best-documented petty theft in history.”

Characters/Pairings: John/Sherlock & John/Sherlock/Maria(Mary)
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~8K
Disclaimer: Sherlock is not mine and no money is being made.
Summary: Post-TRF, Sherlock came back for John before he finished destroying Moriarty's web. Together, they are working on accomplishing that goal.
A/N: My attempt at imagining how Ms Morstan fits into their lives. Written for impulsereader's prompt: pockets, as part of the first tag challenge on come at once, if convenient. Revised slightly from the post there on 9 February 2013.

Can be read alone (I think) or as part of the Other Experiments series where it would fit in after Correspondence and before Revisionist.

Excerpt: The surface of the water rippled where it had closed over his head. Fluid heat pressed against his eyelids, into his ears, sealing out the world, magnifying the sound of his heartbeat, providing a brief respite. His muscles relaxed further, even the ones in his face, especially the ones in his face, which suppressed one emotion to mimic another, showing nothing he didn’t want shown.

Title: Frail Blue
Author: Saki101
Genre: slash
Rating: R-ish (this section), NC-17 (overall)
Length: ~3100 words
Warning: AU, post The Reichenbach Fall
Disclaimer: I don't own BBC's Sherlock and no money is being made.
Author's notes: This is a continuation of the Other Experiments Series which forms an AU frame for the Experiments Series. Frail Blue follows Carbonado.

Excerpt: Three days late. It wasn’t much. Timelines needed to shift and stretch, wild improvisations often followed meticulous research. Without their personal deadline, three days wouldn’t constitute a deviation worth mentioning.
