Summary
It’s a 360 MG —like a 221B, except for Mystrade. 360 words long, ends with an M word & a G word (for our boys, of course!)
In this postage stamp of a story, a smitten Greg Lestrade is trying to win the heart of a clueless Mycroft Holmes. When high class and delicacy don’t make an impression, it’s time to try a different approach.

Summary
Mycroft and Greg have the perfect arrangement- no string attached, blowing off steam, amazing sex. Even Greg seems to be on board with the plan, to Mycroft's surprise. There's only one problem: Greg is the sweetest guy around Mycroft's cat, and the famous Ice-man might be catching feelings.
(From a reddit post: "My fuckbuddy is kind to my cat and my cat likes him. I'm starting to have feelings for him because of that")

Summary
I want a story where Sherlock was severely emotionally and physically abused by his father and his mother while not abusive herself was complicit by actively helping to cover it up but Mycroft genuinely didn't know.
Sherlock from the time he became aware of just how abnormal his treatment at home was has believed there was no way Mycroft could have missed it. From his pov his brother choosing their parents’ side over his is the basic source of their conflict.
Mycroft, who was packed off to boarding school when Sherlock was still a toddler never doubted the stories his Mummy told him about Sherlock's injuries. From his pov it seemed his once curious and affectionate little brother became inexplicably and increasingly sullen and angry as he got older.
Mycroft just doesn't get why Sherlock is so cold and hostile and self-destructive until, of course, one day he does.
Whatever the reason, I want Mycroft crushed by guilt and helpless as to how to make it up to his brother for failing to protect him. And I want Sherlock realizing that his brother didn’t know and purposely leave him in that situation and he is as worthy of love and protection as anyone else.

Summary
Mycroft:
For the first time in a month, he feels rested and well. Something has eased. Buying the piano three weeks ago was also turning some kind of corner. He’s done reacting and ready to return to his default state of action. He’s finally found his boxes of sheet music and he arranges them by composer in an antique lateral file he purchased for the exact purpose. Tomorrow he will sketch out his job's restructure and send it to Alicia, Garreth, and Edwin. Today he will test the potential for turning his friendship with Greg into a romance.Greg:
For longer than he’d thought remotely possibly he’s managed to be underfoot, helpful, responsive. Noting that Mycroft likes him in rugby pullovers and Henly’s in the forest colors he’s adjusted his wardrobe accordingly. Mycroft loves his hair and he’s let it grow to such disastrous lengths that he often looks like an overgrown Yorkie by day’s end. He has perfected the two-day scruff that’s perfectly balanced between the Yard’s restriction on a beard and Mycroft’s attraction to his facial hair. He’s been fucking careful. He’s been deliberate, damn it. -

Summary
It isn't unusual, by this point, for John to come home from whatever job he hasn't gotten himself fired from for erratic hours to find Mycroft and Sherlock sitting in their flat, engaged in what neither of them would ever admit is a staring contest (though it could hardly be mistaken for anything else).
This time, though, Sherlock glances at John as if to say 'thank god you're home' rather than 'took you long enough' and Mycroft's look says 'if you'll just hear me out, you'll understand' rather than 'could you please make Sherlock be reasonable'. Neither look is at all reassuring, but reassuring isn't precisely the province of the Holmes brothers.
