[baker-street-dolls]

I found out I really like reading books. I always been an avid manga reader, but not a book reader, I don't know why. But now, every night before bed I need to read almost a chapter of my currently book (and atm is All for the Game 👀)

And I always, /always/ loved BOOKMARKS! I have a lots of them, bought at the bookshop, at the conventions and so on.

In the past month I thought that was cool if I have my own collection, so why not started to drawing something, even if I don't have so much self esteem for my own drawings? So...

✨📖 I'M REALLY PROUD TO SHOW YOU, MY FIRST MAGNETIC BOOKMARK COLLECTION! ✨📖

And for the entire 🌈 PRIDE MONTH 🌈 you can have one with every 2 DOLLS you order! ☺️

How? ➡️ My cømmissiøns are open! ☕ You can check my Ko-fi page, or send me a DM for every infos you need! 🪡✨🫰🏻

Welcome to Letters2fiction!

The concept here is to send in a question or a letter request, and you’ll get a response from your fictional character of choice, from the list below. Please stick to the list I’ve made, but of course, you can ask if there’s some other characters I write for, I don’t always remember all the shows, movies or books I’ve consumed over the years and I’m sure I’m missing a lot 😅

What's Said And What's Heard

They didn't know it yet - it was their last minutes being alone…

First came the hurt…

"Mummy! What in heavens name could possibly have given you thought of such a connection?" Mycroft Holmes scoffed at the very thought. "He and I? That's utterly preposterous!" "Excuse me?"  It was not so much the words spoken, but how they were delivered that caused Greg to lash out. "Oh yes, completely ludicrous. What a pauper can't look at a prince? I can help with that.  Maman? Let's go!" Greg glad they had arrived at the booth but had not sat. He grabbed his mother's hand. "Gregory!" "Lestrade." "Greg, wait." Mycroft, Sherlock and his mother called out. Greg ignored the latter two to face a stricken looking Mycroft about to speak. "Don't bother, Holmes." Greg had hidden his feelings from the intimidating man for over a year because of this very fear. I’m not good enough. Hearing it confirmed in words stung. They stung deeply. He’ll never be mine… "Greg!" His mother tried. "Mère, no." Were he not upset and already turned away, he would have noticed her surprised face at being addressed formally, something he only does when he is very upset, as he gently, but decidedly pulled her at her hand. We’re leaving.

Followed by the embarrassment…

"Gregory Michael Lestrade, that is ENOUGH! Unhand me now, young man!" Giselle Lestrade thundered once they were out of the restaurant and in the car park.  He had parked near the divider wall between self-parking from one entrance and valet parking from the other side. Whoa! Haven't heard THAT tone since… Academy? He immediately released his hold on her. He had not realized how tight was his grip until she shook her hand. Shite! What are you doing, Greg! "Maman, I… I am so sorry!" He tried to reach for her hand, but she snatched it away. "I don't want to hear it, Gregory. You are lucky we were such a nice place, and I did not want there to be cause of a bigger scene than what was already happening. What is going on in that thick gob of yours?" Fuck it all! This weekend had gone so great, now it's ruined! Head down in shame, Greg ran a rough had through his silver hair, setting it awry. "I can't." "The way you just manhandled me? Boy, you better try!" Greg winced at her words and shook his head. Giselle Lestrade raised her son to fear no one. Then again, his mother had not come against the likes of one Mycroft Holmes. How could he explain someone like Mycroft Holmes? He was an uber intelligent man who suffered no fools. Mycroft will claim he occupied a minor office in the British government and had the documentation to prove it, but after nearly a decade of knowing - Greg certainly knew better. There was nothing minor about Mycroft's true occupation as a global political player of such immense power the world is better in not knowing existed. Mycroft can bring monarchs and presidents to heel with raised brow. Calculating and ruthless, Mycroft was a man willing to make the hard decisions no one else could and execute them for the sake of Crown and Country. He was also a man of droll, yet cutting wit who loved his parents who did not always seem to understand him. Adores his not-exactly-a-baby brother who lives to give him grief at every turn as only a little brother can. The man who publicly scorned sentiment and romantic entangles with a motto of caring is not an advantage. The man whose plentiful condemnations were as cutting as his rare compliments  Tall, posh with legs for eons in his three-piece bespoke, pocket watch wearing suit of a man he was madly, but secretly in love with. The man who emphasized the preposterousness of that love ever being reciprocated moments ago. The man I just walked away from. "You wouldn't understand, Mère." Greg sighed as he leaned against his car. "Would it have anything to do with how deeply paupers love princes?" she asked softly. Greg knew by the question his mother had gleaned the answer. Of course, she knows. She the only person who can read me better than Mycroft. And she heard what he said… She leaned beside him against the car. “When did my brave copper of a son become a coward of the heart, hmm?” She was about to say more when voices were heard on the other side of the wall.

But then the surprise…

"Idiot boy! I'm not asking why you haven't told him. I'm sure you've concocted a hundred reasons why not. I'm asking how you, you who sees everyone and everything, have not seen it for yourself?!" Violet Holmes fussed. "Believe me, Mummy. He has excelled at hiding his feelings - even from himself." Sherlock drawled. Oh, HE’s one to talk! "Oh, don't you dare! Pot/Kettle, little brother, Pot/Kettle." "Oh, don't you dare try to change the focus, Mikey." Violet chastised. "And Liam hush! I'll get back to you your doctor fellow another time, don't speak out of hand again." "Yes, Mummy." Sherlock demurred. So, I'm not the only son to completely ruin Mother's Day brunch. Nice to know the Holmes Boys get taken to task by their mum too. “This is about Mikey being intimidated by Greg.” Violet continued. What? Greg looked at his mother and knew by her look of surprise he had not misheard. Mycroft intimidated by me? I am the one who is intimidated! “Oh, I am sure my brother has unconsciously tried his best to intimidate Greg.” Sherlock scoffed. “Are you aware, Mummy, that Lestrade and John are the only people outside the immediate family not cowed by his Iceman glare? I’m sure he’s tried to ward him off with his trademark Caring Is Not an Advantage lark – Ow! You kicked me!” Only because Greg had to stop himself from laughing out loud did it occur to him; he was listening in on their conversation. And I definitely should not be. Best to go before my feeling are hurt even more. “I did say stop speaking out of turn.” Violet huffed, “Besides, Mikey is correct, caring is NOT an advantage…” “Thank you, Mummy.” Mycroft said smugly. “Don’t thank me. I raised you to be wary of the pitfalls of love, yes, but not to disdain it altogether. Since when are you such a coward?” Without even looking at her, Greg saw the smug look on his mother’s face. He was not really cognizant of having moved until he had turned the corner.

Succeeded by the confession…

“Disadvantage or not - didn’t stop you from falling in love with me or I you, did it?” “Gregory!” Mycroft spun around at the sound of Greg’s voice behind him. Greg will treasure the day he caused surprised looks on not one, not two, but all three of the Holmes geniuses. “Maman was giving me the well-deserved what for too.”  Hands in his trouser pockets and blushing profusely, Greg tilted his head towards Giselle who joined him. “Sherlock, I know you can charm when you want to. Do it now and please take our mother’s back inside for brunch. Your brother and I will be in shortly.” “I will…” Whatever nonsense was about to fall from Sherlock’s lips evaporated as four sets of eyes glared at him. “I will do my best.” “You better.” Greg gave him no quarter, blithely ignoring the scowl from Sherlock, and the raised eyebrows from the mothers and the three returned to the restaurant.  “Sorry for listening in… I…”. “No, before you say another word let me speak, please.” Mycroft approached Greg. “You walked off before I could explain. The preposterousness of out being together was because I never imagined some like you would ever have interest in someone like me. It was NEVER that I have not sincerely wished for such between us. Mummy saw how much it devastated me to realize I had accidentally hurt you and why.” “And I thought someone like you would never be interested in someone like me. Your words, the way I took them sealed it. Maman saw how much I was hurt by you and why.” Greg smiled at his mother, then at Violet. “Nice to know you can’t hide from your Mum any more than I from mine.” “I’m beginning to see neither mother raised cowards, just two blind idiots.” Greg smiled gently. “But I think we’re both seeing clearly now – yes?” “Quite so.” Mycroft returned the smile.

Adding in the touch…

Eyes locked on each other; Greg realized it took Mycroft a moment for it register his hand was being gently tugged. Mycroft looked down to see Greg’s strong fingers slowly grasping to hold his. He and Mycroft have shaken hands countless of times.  This was the first time ever they have touched. “You…. You are the first person in YEARS, outside of family or physicians, to touch me…” Mycroft exhaled in wonder. “And to be blunt – you’re… oh sod this!”

With the kiss…

Greg is not sure what surprised him more. Mycroft using such a phrase as Sod this(!) or the kiss suddenly planted on his lips. Okay, he lied – the kiss absolutely was the bigger surprise. Oh, but a much, MUCH more welcome one! “Hello…” Mycroft was quite pink about the ears when they came up for air. “Hey yourself” Greg could not have wiped the smile from his face had his life depended on it. “I feel behooved to inform you that was seen not only by the valet, but at least two security cameras and…” Mycroft pulled out his buzzing phone without looking. “Oh?” Greg grinned was plastered in place as he spied the nearest camera and waved. “Tell Anthea she can give me The Talk on Tuesday.” “Why Tuesday?” Mycroft asked surprised. “Today IS Mothers’ Day and I don’t know about you, but I’m damn sure not telling Maman to fend for herself until she heads back tomorrow .” Greg headed back inside the restaurant. ”So, Anthea will have to wait until Tuesday.” “I do not say this often, Gregory, but I’m not following.” Greg turned around in time to appreciate Mycroft’s sardonic eyeroll in acknowledgement that he was in fact currently following Greg into the restaurant.

Concluding with, the promise…

“You want to tell your mother you abandoned her on Mother’s Day to get railed by your VERY soon-to-be lover? Because once I get your in bed tomorrow, Mycroft Holmes, we’re not getting out of it before Tuesday.” Greg winked. Greg grinned as Mycroft stumbled nearly going offline again. Whoa! Got Mycroft to short-circuit twice in one day! “Follow me now, love?” “Yes, I follow, love.”

…Before the rest of their lives together.

#MayPrompts2024 - Prompt 9: Intimidate, Prompt 14: Eavesdrop

[inevitably-johnlocked]

i’m so sorry this is hyper specific…. any fics where john calls sherlock ‘WILLIAM!!’ when he’s in trouble or something?? i think it would be hilarious

Hey Nonny!

AHHHHHH eeeee I don't know if I have anything specifically for that, but over the years I have been asked for William Fics, so I'm just gonna use your ask to finally collect what I have <3 If anyone has anything more specific to Nonny's request, please let us know, 'cause Nonny's right, it'd be funny LOL.

That said, here is what I have for "William" fics, which I just did a search for his name and probably don't have any of them correct :( I pulled what I had on my MFL list as well to make this list a bit longer for you. Apologies ahead of time if they're not "William" focussed.

Expectations are that a marriage alliance between Harriet and Prince William might soothe tensions on both sides of the border regarding the alliance and end the protracted civil war.

But behind John Watson’s legendary prowess in battle is a dark secret.

Ch. || Post TRF, Rosie is in this Fic, Hurt/Comfort, Angst with Happy Ending, Amnesia (Sherlock), Torture, Scars, PTSD, Divorced John, Divorced Lestrade, Misunderstandings) – Sherlock Holmes was believed by most to have died by jumping to his death. A few people, Mycroft Holmes included believed he died in somewhere in Serbia, tortured to death, though his body was never found. Sherlock Holmes himself doesn't believe either of the above, obviously. After being extensively tortured in Serbia, he suffered a traumatic brain injury that left him with amnesia, and deafness. But the doctors say that the deafness is psychological in nature. It doesn't matter much to him. All he knows is that his name is William, and that he was once (and it seems he always will be) in love with a man by the name of John Watson. John has suffered much in the last eight years. Losing his best friend to suicide, marrying and then later being divorced by his wife, battling for joint custody of his child, and generally trying to forge ahead and figure out what the seemingly bleak future holds in store for him. But what he could never expect is Sherlock's sudden return. Nor the man's conviction that once upon a time they were madly in love.

Sehnenfäden by holmesian_love and Strange_johnlock (M, 67,879 w., 22 Ch. || Violinist Sherlock AU || Idiots in Love, Alternate First Meeting, Hurt/Comfort, Fluff and Humour, Friendship, Friends to Lovers, Slow Burn, First Time, Nature, Music, Seclusion, Angst with Happy Ending, Non-Explicit Sex) – William Sherlock Holmes is a world-renowned violinist, uncompromising with his principles and his punishing schedule, pushed to breaking point by his manager. John Watson is a lost, retired army-doctor, returned to London with nowhere to live. Both men end up in situations which lead them to a secluded German village in the mountains, escaping from the unforgiving world around them. A chance encounter brings them together, sharing a friendship and understanding neither of them have found before. Will they be able to find a way to express their true feelings for one another, to find the path to be together, despite Sherlock’s chaotic lifestyle?

The Killing Principle by Vulpesmellifera (E, 104,593 w., 46 Ch. || American AU || Gay John, Serial Killer Mary, Bum Appreciation, Sherlock is William, Dating Difficulties, BAMF Sherlock, Slow Burn, Thriller, Confessions, Whump, Angst with Happy Ending, Minor Character Death) – John Watson served twice in AmeriCorps, married his high school sweetheart, and then entered med school. A sudden arrest and accusation of multiple murders ends his promising career, irrevocably altering his life's trajectory. Acquitted of his wife’s crimes, John spends the next ten years as the maligned ex-husband of convicted serial killer Mercy Mary. A job offer draws him out of hiding and back to Connecticut - the very state where the crimes were committed. He needs the money, and the job is a dream. Then he meets the brilliant William Vernet, and it seems like he has a second chance at life and love. But the past has a way of catching up.

Beyond Recall by elwinglyre & MrBotanyB (E, 110,201 w. || Apocalypse/Dystopia AU, Alternate First Meeting, Case Fic, Amnesia/Memory Loss, Hurt/Comfort, Slow Burn, First Time, Alternating POV) – Dropped into Cardiff on a mission he doesn’t remember, everyday he wakes to a past he doesn’t recall in a world torn apart by pandemic. William (Sherlock Holmes) finds purpose when John Watson finds him. For Watson, this man is a mysterious thief with the uncanny ability to see into people. But there’s something more to this man, and Doctor Watson helps William find the answers to his “magical” deductions. Is he a mad man? A serial killer? Or just damn clever? And what’s his connection to the epidemic that wiped out most of the world?

Nine people you'd like to get to know better

Thanks @magnetarmadda for the tag!

Three ships

Jon/Martin, Jon/Gerry, and Jon/Tim from The Magnus Archives

First ship

Depends on how you define it, I guess. The first canon couple I appreciated in media would probably be Prince Valiant and Aleta from the Prince Valiant comics by Hal Foster. (Talk about a power couple. They’re both just so talented and intelligent individually and complement each other so well when they work together.)

The first non-canon couple I sought out fic of was Greg Lestrade and Mycroft Holmes from BBC Sherlock. (Yeah, I know, I was a BBC Sherlock fan. Anyway, I will forever be in awe of the person who has been writing Greg/Mycroft fic for 11 years and is still going, and who has written almost 200 fics, several of which are over 300,000 words long. I would love to have that level of dedication and prolific output as a writer.)

I think Jon/Tim is the first ship I wrote for (although I quickly followed that with two Jon/Martin fics and then a Martin/Tim fic). I’m arospec, so my interest in shipping comes mostly from exploring different character dynamics, and I enjoy shipping characters with different people to see how that changes the way they interact with each other.

Before I got into TMA fandom, I wrote mostly original fiction and the few fanfics I had written were gen fics.

Last song

I Never Wear White by Suzanne Vega

Currently reading

Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites by Joy Demorra

Last film

Everything Everywhere All At Once. I love that film so much.

Currently Craving

Chocolate-covered cherries. I’ve been thinking a lot about vampires lately, and for some reason I always imagined that to a vampire blood would taste rich and sweet like cherries and chocolate.

[percyjacksonfan3]

Heyyyyyyy lovely how are you? Read any good fic lately?

Hello my dear! The answer to this is always of course, though I've been pinwheeling through different pairings and fandoms (though what else is new) because I haven't had a hyperfixation since Good Omens :(

I'll list a few from different recent fandoms. My bookmarks tend to be more mature or explicit ratings and longer fics because I love a good established dynamic

Mystrade (Mycroft Holmes x Greg Lestrade from BBC Sherlock)

I've been reading for these two since October now so there's definitely a few for them.

Paperback Writer by meansgirl

Rated E and totaling 82 265 words, this was an awesome fic where it's technically still canonverse only Greg is secretly an erotica author who just so happens to be Mycroft's favourite. So then of course Mycroft finds out.

Human Remains by Saziikins

This series lives in my head rent free and is so wonderful. It's canon compliant and a very slow burn of Mycroft and Greg getting together and then making a relationship work. Rated E, it's got 3 works in it and totals around 900k words, but the second work is a retelling of the first from Mycroft's POV instead of Greg's.

Pater Noster by manic_intent

Another rent free series, this one is Mystrade but set in the Good Omens universe where Mycroft is a high ranking demon and Greg a lower tier angel. So of course after being brought together a very human Sherlock, they fall in love. Eventually. I adored every bit of it, there's 3 works numbering at 26k words and it's so much fun.

Which brings me to some other recent goodies....

Ineffable Husbands (Crowley x Aziraphale from Good Omens)

Ah, my beloveds. I only listed three here but I have a ton of bookmarks saved for them that I am only too happy to share, should anyone need some recs

Not For All My Little Words by mia_ugly and soft_october

Rated E and about 8k words, this is set post season 2 and is Aziraphale and Crowley's reunion and apology.

you're not a religious person (but) by isozyme

Some snippets of Aziraphale and Crowley over the years. Historical fics for these two are some of my favorites and this fic takes us through some great moments to post season one. Super cute, rated M and nearly 20k words.

post-professional endeavors by darcylindbergh

A look at Aziraphale and Crowley figuring themselves out in retirement, as told from the POV of their poor realtor and other humans involved. I love outsider POV fics and this was top tier. Rated T and about 9k words, it was extremely cute.

Some honorable mentions:

What Spring Does with the Cherry Trees by riosnecktattoo

If you're in the NBC Good Girls fandom you'll probably already know this author, because everything they write is phenomenal, but this fic was lovely. A friends to lovers AU for Beth and Rio that still kept the original characterizations, I can't recommend it enough. Rated E, about 77k words.

Curse of the Green Hag by Moorishflower

A Xedgin fic for DND: Honour Among Thieves. It's a fuck or die curse fic with just enough plot for me to be invested. Edgin is great, Xenk is great, and the smut is great. Enough said. Rated E, 16k+ words.

The Veretian Flytrap by Just_Another_Day

A Dament fic for the Captive Prince fandom, this fic is a great twist on the canon story if Damen and Laurent were an Alpha/Omega pairing. Super in character and has all the greatness of the trilogy itself, I loved it. Rated E (obviously) and is 176k+ words.

Alright, I'll wrap it up here, but I hope there's something in here that interests you! If you want anything more specific (a certain fandom, pairing, rating, etc.) then just let me know and I will have another list for you asap <3

Anyone else with some good fic recs feel free to drop them in the replies or reblogs :)

Fluffbruary - Day 17 (Fantasy)

Seventeenth day of @fluffbruary, using the prompt "fantasy"

I know, I cracked up. I wanted to keep it short when I saw how late I was, but I love this kind of AU so much that the more I wrote, the more ideas I had. If anyone has similar fics to this one, Prince Sherlock and Knight John, I'm interested!

Read on AO3

French Version

-----

John jumped on his white horse, and ordered it forward. A dozen guards followed him and together they rode into the magical woods surrounding the royal family's residential castle. It was starting to get dark, so Captain Watson must not waste any time

This morning the younger of the two princes set off on his morning walk. Normally, Greg Lestrade, the Prince's personal guard, goes with him. But in a matter of seconds, he managed to lose his guard. It wasn't the first time this had happened, so it didn't worry the king and queen. When seventeen o'clock struck, tea time, and the prince had still not returned, the parents ordered him to be fetched. The order was given directly to John, the captain of the royal guard. He chose ten men, took what was needed to treat the prince if he was in a critical condition, and rode his horse into the forest, which was known to be a place where you would not venture into at night, at the risk of your life. 

Three hours later, night has fallen completely, their lantern dimly illuminating their path. Still no sign of the prince. He knows he has been ordered to keep looking for him until he finds him, so he refuses when one of the soldiers offers to set up camp for the night. If they want to avoid one of the many creatures in the forest, they must keep moving.

The Prince's personal guard was with them and despite the directions he gave on the path they had taken this morning, still no sign of the Prince.

When John yawned for the third time in a minute, a cry was heard throughout the forest, waking him up abruptly. Without thinking, the whole group galloped towards the cry, John and Lestrade in the lead. But if they could guess which area it was in, they could not determine it precisely. John ordered them to split into pairs.

John and Lestrade together, walking through their patch of forest when he finds tall grass crushed by a man. At a glance, they understand each other and follow this trail. They arrive at a large waterfall, framed by majestic plants, the blue water magically illuminating. John could have stopped and admired it if the prince wasn't at the top of the waterfall, what looks like a wolf preventing him from moving away from the edge.

John orders Greg to fetch the other guards while he follows the passageway to the top of the waterfall. Soon he reached the top and saw the terrified prince on the verge of falling into the water, the white wolf making his size pushing him towards the edge while growling. When he saw John, the latter beckoned him to be quiet. He dismounted, drew his sword and took the wolf by surprise. He stuck the blade in its throat, giving it no chance. 

The animal tried to defend itself against its attacker but fell down, dead. Except that by turning suddenly, the wolf frightened the prince who took a step back. This was the step too far and John could only watch him lose his balance and fall. John didn't think twice and threw off his cloak and sword before following the prince and diving into the water.

The shock of the cold water took his breath away but he soon saw the prince sinking to the depths, and swam towards him. He managed to catch him, sticking to him so as not to lose him and quickly surfaced. He took a deep breath as he emerged from the water and was greeted by all the other guards. John swam to the edge, taking care to keep the prince's head above water. 

He was helped to pull the prince out of the water, lying down on the grass and John did not waste a minute. He tried to nurse the unconscious prince back to health, while the other guards, illuminating them, could only watch John do it, hoping he would succeed. If they brought the prince back lifeless, the Queen would not be kind to them.

Fortunately, a sigh of relief was heard throughout the group as the prince began to cough, expelling the water lodged in his lungs. John helped him sit up to prevent him from choking.

"Captain Watson?" The prince asked weakly. John smiled at him, wanting to reassure him.

"It's over, my prince." John says gently, not wanting the others to hear him. "We're here to take you back."

(continue below the cut)

The prince's handsome face twists in pain, then his body begins to tremble. The night was cool and his waterlogged clothes did not help him to warm up. John ordered something to dry the prince and two guards went to get towels, which they always keep with them, and asked others to fetch his horse and cloak still at the top of the waterfall. He took off the cloak and part of the prince's clothes, glancing at the other guards to make them turn around. He wiped him with the towels and draped his cloak around his trembling body.

He mounted his horse and with Greg's help, the prince rode in front of him, his legs on the same side, his head resting on his shoulder. John had his arms around him to keep him from falling and to keep him close. He managed to dry himself off slightly and change by stealing dry clothes from the other guards.

They made their way back, everyone already dreaming of their bed or a fire. The Prince's trembling calmed as he went, his still wet curls tickling John's face. John kept one hand protectively around his waist while the other held the horse's reins. The ride back was quicker and John quickly made his way to the main entrance of the castle while the other guards made their way back to their huts. Only Greg follows him.

He held the prince tightly against him and dismounted, carrying him towards his chambers. A panicked servant girl saw them and John ordered her to tell the King and Queen. He found the prince's room and went in to lay him on his bed. Three maids arrived in the room and John had no say in the matter as he was removed from the room. 

The eldest maid, Mrs. Hudson, reassured him that he was in good hands and that he would be told as soon as he was well. The King and Queen soon arrive, thanking him and his team for finding him and when they offer to return with the other guards, he refuses, saying he will leave once he is sure the Prince is well. The royal couple did not object, but John did not miss the look they gave each other.

John ended up alone in the hallway, watching the maids go in and out of the room, with the doctor arriving a few minutes later, obviously rushed out of bed. John is a doctor, but the Queen had refused to allow him to care for the Prince, saying that he had already found the Prince and that she could not ask him to care for him in addition.

But seeing the doctor being driven away with hoarse cries, John was not surprised when a servant girl went to fetch him, her tired eyes begging him to accept. John followed her and set to work immediately, under the watchful eyes of the prince's parents. Despite the fact that he was beginning to feel tired, he did his job well. The Prince is awake but completely exhausted. He watches him behind his heavy eyelids, his eyes never leaving him.

He explains that he has caught a cold and will have to rest for several days. There is nothing broken, no visible injury, but there is a risk of pneumonia. The Queen agreed when John asked if he could stay at his bedside tonight to watch over him. Clean clothes were brought to him, and a cot to sleep on at the foot of the bed, and at last there was no one left in the room but him and the Prince.

He lay down, sinking into a light sleep, ready if the prince needed anything. He was right, for later that night the Prince called faintly to him. John got up to see him shivering, completely buried under the sheets except for a few curls sticking out.

"Prince Sherlock?" John whispers.

"I'm cold." Explains the prince while pulling his head out of the sheets. He looks so vulnerable that John's heart sinks.

John sees the fireplace and turns it on before pulling the prince out of bed. He moved his cot to stand in front of the fire and took the sheets from the Prince's bed and put them around his shoulders. The prince thanked him silently with a look. He sat in front of the fireplace, the large sheets wrapped around him warmly. John went to fetch a chair when the Prince called to him again. He turned to see him lift part of his sheet.

It's an invitation.

It's true that the idea of being warm next to the prince he loves makes him want to, but if they're caught in such a position, one might get the wrong idea and the Queen will never tolerate it. When the prince sends him a pleading look, he cannot say no. He settled down next to him and immediately the Prince settled against him, his head against his shoulder, and a warmth spread through John's chest. It wasn't coming from the fireplace.

He dared to put an arm around him, keeping him close as he felt the prince warm against him. He rested his back against a chair behind him and allowed himself to close his eyes, letting the prince's breathing lull him to sleep.

***

He wakes to the sound of birds, a weight on his chest and hair tickling his face. There is a conversation, words exchanged in a low voice and it takes John's sleeping brain a while to realise that it is Prince Sherlock and the Queen. He wakes up abruptly, ending the conversation. He thought he would fall into the Queen's angry, accusing gaze, but instead he saw kindness, a gentle smile on her lips. His son had the same expression, looking peaceful. Not many people are lucky enough to see the Prince so cold looking so serene.

"How are you feeling, Captain Watson?" The Queen asks.

John nods, wary all the same.

"Don't worry, I know you would never want to hurt my son."

John nods and can see the smile the Prince sends his way in the corner of his eye. 

"To tell you the truth, I've been wanting to talk to you for a while." Her face hardened, and John understood that this was a rather serious matter. He felt the prince tense against him. "For some months now, my son has been telling me of his interest in you." She said without sparing a word.

He looked down at the prince, surprised. The latter blushed, while keeping his eyes riveted on his mother. 

"I was not in favour of such an affair. But you are a respectable man, a brilliant guard who has risen through the ranks, loyal to our family and for some inexplicable reason my son has set his sights on you. After much discussion, my husband and I have decided that we will allow your union."

John is speechless. He could never have dreamed of such a thing. The hopeful look the prince sends him only makes his heart beat faster.

"Just one question." The Queen nodded. "Would I be able to continue to perform my job as royal guard." 

"Obviously, I know you value your position as a captain in the Royal Guard. We will discuss these details later." She said with a wave of her hand. "I'll leave you to discuss all that with the prince."

She smiled and left the room. John looked at the prince as she closed the door. He flicked a fallen curl back onto his forehead with his fingertips, before placing his hand on his cheek, caressing his skin with his thumb. The prince closed his eyes.

"Is this really what you want?"

"More than anything." Sherlock murmured.

He kissed his forehead, whispering "my prince." The concerned man smiled before opening his eyes, his gaze filled with tenderness. He could only kiss him tenderly.

Five months later, they were married, surrounded by John's friends and the royal family.

Chapter 11

——————

"Tell me something, Y/N..."

You slowly moved your eyes across the living room to look at Mary sitting in the corner with the biggest cup of coffee you had ever seen being held between both of her hands. "Yes..?" You asked resting a textbook on your lap.

"It's the first day back after the winter break and you are already throwing yourself into uni work, even the afternoon we met up you were studying." She lightly laughed as she shook her head "Don't you ever stop?"

"I would but I've got so much to do, I got through most of it during the holidays." You returned to reading your book. You had arrived back at the flat a few hours ago, Mary arrived an hour later and Molly was still on the train.

"I thought you would have been busy..." you could hear the playful teasing tone in her voice. It made you raise a brow.

You placed down your book again on your thigh "Please elaborate..."

"Well I thought you would have seen your fancy man during the holidays." You rolled your eyes and got back to reading "Judging from the picture he drew you, he seems to be good with his hands-"

"Mary!" You gasped and tossed a pillow at her, you both couldn't stop giggling. "You can take anything and make it vulgar and for your information, I wouldn't know how good he is with his hands."

Her brow crinkled slightly "Wasn't he going to stay the night?"

"He was but a pipe had burst in his flat and had to head home, I didn't want to tell you that over lunch because I knew you would have announced to the whole restaurant something along the lines of: 'I bet you would have wanted him to burst your pipes.'"

She burst out laughing and frantically nodded "Oh you're so right! I think you've lived with me for too long!" You hummed a response and had a small smile on your face. Mary noticed you space out for a second, eventually moving over to sit beside you "You really like him, don't you?"

"I think I'm a little passed that..." Mary raised a brow at you "I think I'm really falling for him. Whenever I think about him I can't stop smiling." She noticed the bright smile take up half of you face. She hugged you from the side and pulled back seconds before the door opened. Molly waltzed in with her suitcase trailing behind.

After a few hours of catching up with the two of them, you phone buzzed. A text from Greg asking to meet at Sherrinfords. You stood up and headed towards the door, picking your jacket up in the way.

"Where are you going?" Molly asked as she sipped on her tea.

You nervously pointed between your phone and the door "Um...I'm...I'm going to the coffee shop!"

Mary scoffed "Yeah, well, make sure 'the coffee shop' uses a condom."

Molly giggled at her remark while you groaned "I'm honestly going to Sherrinfords!"

"Bring us back a double chocolate muffin each as proof!" Mary called out as you opened the door and stepped out of the flat, quickly shutting it behind you.

---

"Hey!" You ecstatically squealed seeing Greg standing waiting for you outside Sherrinfords. He moved his glasses up the bridge of his nose as he spun on his heel to greet you.

"Hi!" You both wrapped your arms around each other, Greg spun you on the spot before sweetly kissing you "I missed you."

"I missed you too! Come on," you dragged him inside "This is on me!" Greg protested but you weren't having any of it and shooed him to the usual table you both sat it. You approached Mike at the bar and placed your usual order, asking him to reserve two muffins for Molly and Mary. You pulled out your purse but before you could pay, Mike held his hand up to stop you.

"Already taken care of!"

You gritted your teeth together and your eye twitched. You turned to Greg who winked with a boyish smirk on his face. "I swear Mike, I'll get him back one day!" Mike laughed as you walked away with your drinks "You love getting one up on me..."

"Like you said- passively aggressively buying each other coffee is our thing." He took the coffee off you and slowly sipped away at it "What did you get up to over the holidays then?"

"Not much, I got up quite late one day actually and I went to make some coffee but I was half asleep so when my mum asked me if I'd pour her a cup of tea I put the tea bag and coffee in the one cup and poured the water in it. I took one sip of it and almost spat it out over the carpet!" You both shared a laugh before letting Greg know about Sherlock "Oh I actually met one of your roommates too!"

Greg almost brought his coffee back up and went as white as a sheet "Y-you wh-what?!"

"Yeah!" You hummed, not noticing his nervousness "I bumped into him by accident, he said he recognised me from your drawing you did."

"Oh I bet he recognised you..." Greg uttered under his breath, you never heard him. He knew this was all down to his guards, there was no way that you met Sherlock by chance. "What did you do?"

"Went for a coffee, wasn't as good as here. We just had a general chat, he seems nice!" You smiled and took a gulp of your now lukewarm flat white. You felt a hand hold onto yours, your eyes followed the length of Greg's arm before eventually connecting with his burning gaze.

"Y/N, there's something I need to say..." the seriousness in his voice made your stomach sink and your whole body paralyse with worry. You waited for him to continue, he struggled to get his words out.

"Greg, what's the matter?" You placed a hand on top of his and gently stroked it, it eased his nerves. He knew he had to tell you about who he really was.

"I...I uh...I'm..." he couldn't do it "I think I'm...falling for you." But he could tell you the truth about how he felt.

Your eyes widened slightly and you could feel your cheeks burn ever so slightly. But worry quickly washed away and you squeezed his hand "You don't have to be so nervous," you assured with a soft smile "I feel the same way." You could see Greg exhale the breath he was holding. He leaned across the table to give you a short peck. Your eyes flickered up to the clock on the wall and you let out a sigh "I need to be getting back, Molly is making dinner. Do you want to join?"

"Sorry, John, my other roommate is cooking tonight." Greg politely declined, he was going to tear though his guards when he got home. You understood that he had plans and invited him to yours anything for dinner. You knew Mary and Molly would eventually meet him one day. Being reminding of the pair led you to the coffee bar where you picked up their muffins before walking back home with Greg by your side.

"Thanks for walking me back, I'll see you tomorrow after class?" You asked with a hopeful smile.

"Sounds good with me," he kissed your cheek "See you then." He watched you disappear into the building, as soon as you were gone he rushed home to comfort his guards. When she stepped into the flat, they were all at the table playing poker.

"I asked you to keep an eye on Y/N not interrogate her!" He snapped and the three guards shared a glance.

"Greg, we just had to double check she wasn't a danger to you and to get a feel for her personality wise..." John tried to explain.

"Oh so you send Sherlock? I'm surprised you didn't scare her off!" He took off his glasses and threw them into the couch, running a hand though his hair "You know, I would give her the world if she wanted it, she deserves it. Please do not ruin this for me. Y/N is the only person who sees me as a regular person. That's all I ever wanted!"

"We know," the three of them said at the one time.

The young prince let out a drawn sigh before heading to his room. His classes started early the next morning and he wasn't in the mood to argue and debate with his guards all night.

---

Mary mindlessly walked through the small supermarket early the next morning, the milk supply was running low and she was the only one that was fully dressed, you and Molly were still in your pyjamas.

She hummed along to the song to the tune being quietly played through the speakers, there wasn't many people in the shop, just her, an older woman and two cashiers floating around. Mary picked up a pint of milk among other things but froze on the spot when she passed the newspaper racks.

The screamed so loud that the cashiers came rushing over to her and saw her gawking at the papers. She dropped her basket and picked one up, tossing coins at the the cashiers before running out the shop and back to the flat as fast as she could.

"Y/N! Y/N what the fuck?!" She burst though the door and tossed the paper at you just as you emerged fully dressed from your room.

"Mary what the-" you cut yourself seeing the words 'Prince Lestrade and his mystery lady!' In big bold writing with the words 'Exclusive photos inside!' Underneath.

There, clear as day, a photo of you and Greg in the front of the newspaper. "W-what is this...?" Your voice cracked "Is this a joke?!"

"Y/N there is a photo of you on the front page of every newspaper..." you looked up to her and then back to the photo of you and Greg.

"T-this is just a joke!" You forced a laugh "A joke!" You looked at Mary with pleading eyes "Right?"

"What is with all the yelling!" Molly came out of the bathroom "All this over milk?!"

Mary shook her head and didn't say a word, Molly slowly approached you and carefully took the paper from your hands. She instantly went wide eyed "Is this real?!"

"I need to get the others for you Y/N, there are different photos in each one..." Mary walked over to you and held your forearms.

"Fuck!" You sobbed out and felt the tears stream down your face.

"You must have known this was going to happen Y/N, it says you're snogging a prince for god sake!" Molly hollered as she read report.

"No," you whispered, Mary heard you. You looked up to her and sniffled "He never told me..." the tips of yours burned with anger "He never told me a thing." You escaped Mary's grip and grabbed your jacket, your knuckles turning white with force and rage. Your two roommates ran after you as you stormed out of the flat and headed towards the art department in the university.

do you know of any royalty!au mystrade fics? <3

Do I! Yes, of course.

In "Three Midnights" (36K, M) by kedgeree, a twist on Cinderella, Mycroft must find the Crown Prince Sherlock a husband quickly. Greg Lestrade is a blacksmith who seems the perfect candidate - but for which brother? https://archiveofourown.org/works/3154067

"Paradise Street" (10K, M) by Mottlemoth is a modern-day story in which Greg is a prince and Mycroft an ambassador. When they wind up living in the same building, their attraction builds. https://archiveofourown.org/works/32320030

"Let Sleeping Dragons Lie" (8K, M) by MerHums is a favorite, although a bit further away from your premise. Greg is a knight sent to kill a dragon, who's really a shape-shifted Mycroft who ticked off a witch. https://archiveofourown.org/works/7067551

A quick little piece in which Mycroft is crowned king and is supposed to marry a woman. "England's Got A New Queen" (1500, G) by Papa_Lazarou https://archiveofourown.org/works/13441305

Note that if you're into Omegaverse, there are others you can find by searching that tag and "Alternate Universe - Royalty".

Five Fics Friday: Jan. 14/22

Happy Friday everyone!! So glad it’s the weekend... only been back to work for a week and I already need another holiday, LOL. 

Hope you enjoy these fics, and please give some love to these new fics and authors in the Boosted fics, and a couple more added to my MFL list :) Cheers!

SIGNAL BOOSTING

Tonight's so very different by The_Spiral_Staircase (NR, 349 w., 1 Ch. || 221B Ficlet, Ill-Timed Love, Melancholy Memory, One Sided Pining, Angst, One Night Stand) – That a one-night stand can mean different things to different people is certainly no news, although it can be a hard-earned truth. Even for high and mighty Sherlock Holmes.

The Liar and The Lost by yesthankyouforyourinput (M, 38,459 w., 11 Ch. || Post TRF, Angst, Grieving, Depictions of Violence, Alcoholism, Established Relationship, Country Hopping, Depression, Guns, Anal/Oral Sex, Depictions of Torture, Blood, Injury, BAMF John, Slow Burn, Anderson's Fan Club) – 'You should take a look at this - A' And with that, John was on the next flight out. A cheap airport coffee in his hands and all of his necessary possessions in his backpack. If he was going after him, he had to be silent. Untraceable. He needed to find out what the hell was going on out there, even if it killed him. He had heard his call to action.
