Vamp AU, M/L, S/J, anyone?

I'm usually the one who finds things, so it drives me bonkers that I can't remember where I read that.

It's a Vampire!AU in two parts. Mycroft and Sherlock are vampires, and according to vampire social customs to achieve a certain status they have to find a mate and according to vampire physiology, as soon as they find their Only One, they have to bond with that person within a very short time period or die. Mycroft meets Lestrade, who is his Mate, and freaks him out with what Lestrade considers creepy obsession and stalking behavior. Mycroft has to call Sherlock for help and Sherlock tells Lestrade that if he wants to get rid of Mycroft all he has to do is resist the pull and wait - Mycroft will die and Lestrade can get on with his life. Lestrade makes the right decision. :) In the second part, a disgustingly matrimonially domesticated (from Sherlock's POV) Mycroft and Lestrade have to set things right between Sherlock and John. They (things) are quite complicated because almost all Sherlock's life as a vampire homosexuality was a big no-no and he Has Issues. Sounds familiar to anyone?
