a while ago (i'm talking at least 2 years) someone in the mystrade community (i'm pretty sure it was @myteapotthings ) made some mystrade christmas decorations to print out and colour yourself, and even though i'm not really that invested in mystrade anymore, those decorations still hold a place of pride in my book case and i feel happy every time i see them, so i just want to say thanks again for this daily dose of contentness i get every time i walk past them

@Good afternoon!  Sorry for the delay in this post, but I’m in London (again)!

Tomorrow is Mark’s birthday! 🎂At the moment, we have raised £265 (independent of the fan auction)! We are slightly over halfway to goal!

The auction page is coming along, with a few new bids to report since yesterday!  Remember bidding ends THURSDAY AT MIDNIGHT BST (or effectively when I get up Thursday morning).

I will post the auction page at the end of this post as some people are experiencing issues in viewing it on mobile (I think this is a tumblr issue).

The auction page is here, but also the information will be at the bottom of this page.  I will update it again this evening when I get back home.

Questions? Send me a message at @antheas-blackberry

Today’s picture of Mark:

Hello and welcome to the auction page! All items that are up for grabs will be listed here.  Remember, you will be bidding in pounds.

Thank you so much to those of you who have chosen to participate and special thanks to @lavenderandvanilla for all her help in supporting me with this and getting more people on board.  

That being said, I’ve managed to get the individual pages up, but I have NOT been able to figure out how to display the highest bid.  I will have to do that manually, and my sincerest apologies for that.  I will try to do update it as many times during the day as I can.

New fic. Fairy business

As I’ve said a million times before, my self control is non-existant, so of course I went and wrote more for this little thing. So, here, have the first actual chapter for this little tale.

Tagging some people who seemed to be interested in it, hope nobody minds ;)

@daisyfairy1 @swimmingfeelsinajohnlockianpool @lavenderandvanilla @myteapotthings @musicprompts @agent-elaine @roseofdarkness0 @who-vian01 @ratherbethedragon @waistingyourgum

Summary: The plan was simple: go to the human realm, find his brother, bring him back. The problem? His brother might not want to go back.

Pairings: Mycroft Holmes/ Greg Lestrade

Tags: Alternate Universe - Fantasy/ Fairies/ Some angst/ some drama/ Happy Ending/ Sherlock is a Brat/ but he'll see the error of his ways/ Miscommunication/ there'll be some side johnlock and molrene

Preview

The more time he spends in the human realm, the further convinced Sherlock is that this is his worst idea ever.

He had heard the cautionary tales, of course, although he had always believed them grossly exaggerated. He has learned he was more or less mistaken: humans aren’t dangerous, but they’re annoying, ridiculous and impossibly stupid which in turn makes them dangerous. He certainly doesn’t understand why one of his kind would spend a second more than what’s absolutely needed in this dreadful realm.

And yet, his brother has been living among humans for the past year.

His family might be a dying clan, but they are quite fond of following ancient traditions. As such, the oldest child of the clan is sent to the human realm for a quest to prove their value. Mycroft had been sent to look for some family relic; useless but show-y. Sherlock had assumed his law abiding brother would be back in less than a heartbeat, not wanting to stay with the disgusting creatures any longer than needed and yet, to his (and his clan’s) eternal surprise, Mycroft had sent the relic back with a simple note stating his decision to stay with the humans.

Which was plain crazy, of course.

It wouldn’t have mattered to him (or at least he’d have never admitted that it mattered to him), if Sherlock hadn’t turned into the clan’s heir due Mycroft’s departure. As such, he has all sort of unfortunate obligations, including, but not limited to, continuing the line and therefore marrying as soon as possible.

Luckily for him, his bride-to-be had been as reluctant to marry as himself and so she had agreed to come along on his rescue mission (he wasn’t going to brave the human realm by himself, of course. That would have been suicidal. Also, he might need help dragging his dear brother back home.)

May i add to the above the artists @cuchabra @myteapotthings @merilwenart @bryntwedge @joanacchi @dingonato

And fic writers @savvyblunders @tammanyt @dianessus @copgirl1964 @echo84 @out-there-tmblr (it seems to me that all the others have been mentioned!)

Hi there! I'm just getting into mystrade and wondered if you could recommend blogs or authors to follow? I've followed a few lovely people but would love to know more creators in this really nice fandom, like you!

I was halfway through a list for you, secret person… then realised there’s a much more fun way to do this ❤️ 

Can every Mystrade fan who sees this post please reblog it with a recommendation of an author or a blog for our lovely new member to follow?

I’ll start with an immediate suggestion to follow @gravesdiggers. I’ve genuinely spent days of my life scrolling through their archives, soaking in all the gorgeous Rupert content. I’ll also recommend @letmecomealong for their amazing gif sets and @lavenderandvanilla who posts Mystrade drabbles every Monday.

Let’s go, team!
