Hello there everyone!

Today I'm on the hunt for Mycroft/Lestrade fics in the BBC 'verse. I'd particularly enjoy them if either one of them was genderswapped, but I'm good with them both being men as well. Just, the best ones you can find. Long, short, plotty, pwp, whatever, as long as it's good.

Thanks in advance,

Lots of Love,
Lady Merlin

<3 thank you! That's another one for my fic-reading-evening; haven't read it yet but it looks brilliant! Thank you! :)

You're very welcome. :) Oh! And I thought of two more, I couldn't find recced here already.

The Indistructible (http://archiveofourown.org/series/13200) series, written by Ghislainem70 and Playtime (http://archiveofourown.org/works/278101) and Experiments (http://archiveofourown.org/works/278239/chapters/441181), written by Chasingriver.

The first series starts with a lot of Johnlock, but the later stories are Mystrade. And the other two are actually pretty much Johnlock/Mystrade (and, yes, by that I mean all four), but the main pairings are still Johnlock and Mystrade. It makes sense, I promise.

ars-longa is so right! Sheffie is perfect and I can't wait for an update. In the meantime:

Wow! That's a lot of fics! Thank you so much! I'm going to have a brilliant night in reading this stuff! Thank you! <3

[dracutgrl.livejournal.com]

LOL! And that's not even counting the Football series, which is long and wonderful. I'm a Mystrade girl - always happy to share the love :)

I'll second, third, fourth, etc., the rec for Sheffie's epic and recommend rageprufrock's genderswap (Lestrade is a woman) Mystrade fic, even though it's a WIP.

The Least of All Possible Mistakes (http://archiveofourown.org/works/330685/chapters/533662)

If ever a people deserved tasering, it’s Holmeses.

I'd also recommend earlgreytea68's The Scotch Series (http://archiveofourown.org/series/15348), which is a post-TRF Mycroft/Lestrade fic that is really well-written and tense and sexy!

[lygtemanden.livejournal.com]

I second both recs by fitofpique, there is a Mycroft/Lestrade (Inspector) tag on AO3 which contains a lot of good fics. The authors I subscribe to include blooms84, earlgreytea68, marmosette, nicKnack22, Eva and nickelsandcoats among others. You should be able to see my bookmarks on there (same user name), there are a few of the more memorable fics, although I tend to only bookmark fics by authors that aren't prolific Mystrade shippers.

[obsessionality.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, I'll definitely check those out. Some of those names I recognise, and others I don't, so there's bound to be a motherload of good fics waiting -- thank you very much! :)

/dying. So beautiful. Thank you. <3

[obsessionality.livejournal.com]

*giggle* yeah I'd read this one; it's kinda what pushed me into Genderbent!Mystrade in the first place, but you're amazing for having read my mind because I'd actually lost the link, and found not one, but TWO new chapters waiting for me! Than you! <3
