Looking for a Mystrade fic

I'm trying to locate a Mycroft/Lestrade fic I read (I think) on AO3; they decide to play matchmaker for Sherlock and John. In the process, Mycroft and Lestrade realize their mutual attraction. I only remember bits and pieces but here's what I can recall. Lestrade tries to teach Mycroft to play darts and Mycroft fails miserably at it' Lestrade and Mycroft team up to tail Sherlock and John; they arrange a blind date for Sherlock and John at the opera,where they find out Sherlock knew what they were up to all along.

EDIT: Found! Thank you, mick_gz

Hello!

I saw your request on Sherlock_search and tried searching for the fic, but to no avail. When I saw your request again here, I thought I'd try my google-fu once more.

I found a fic that looked promising, so I read it to see if it matched your description. It's sort of what you described, but with some, well, differences: Mycroft tries to teach Lestrade how to play darts, not the other way 'round -- there's a symphony, but no opera -- Sherlock is clueless, not all-knowing.

I had hope, but now I'm not sure it's the one. Still, if it's not correct, you might like reading it. I did. :)
