imagine trying to hug mycroft. i like to imagine it’d look something like trying to get a cat to take a bath
only if you’re not greg lestrade bc if you’re greg lestrade, after a second he sort of melts into you and gives in to his long-denied thirst for physical affection
As You Wish
The results of showing Mycroft ‘The Princess Bride’ are unexpected, but perhaps they shouldn’t be.
Intermission by Scissor Sisters. Requested by marmosette.
This is probably not what you wanted but I hope you like it anyway.

As You Wish – The results of showing Mycroft ‘The Princess Bride’ are unexpected, but perhaps they shouldn’t be.
teaser below the cut
Some time in their second year of dating Greg discovered that Mycroft apparently had been avoiding the cinema for the last thirty years. “You’ve never seen Die Hard?”
Mycroft raised an eyebrow. They were settling in at Greg’s flat to watch a movie. “Is it important?”
Greg muttered something about ‘idiot Holmes’ and grabbed a few more DVDs. “What about these?”
“No.”
That started a tradition. Once a month or so Greg would make popcorn and they’d settle on his couch and they’d watch a movie. Some Mycroft would just roll his eyes at, but Greg could always tell when the reticent man was secretly enjoying himself. No matter what else was going on, Mycroft always managed to find time for their movies.
One rainy autumn afternoon, Greg put on The Princess Bride. Mycroft started with arms crossed, but by the end of it he was leaning forward, an elegant hand on Greg’s knee and completely neglecting his popcorn. Two nights later Greg found a copy of the book on his nightstand. Autographed.
I’m writing a Mystrade where Mycroft has never seen The Princess Bride and Greg has him watch it and omfg this fic is cute as box of bunnies or something. >.<
