Thanks, dear. Sorry for the breakage! *offers glue*

Poor Lestrade!

At least he is free Lestrade in here, the one who have cases and a busy life at the Yard

But he couldn't move in with Mycroft? To have something of that dream even if not to much??

[brighteyed_jill]

In any verse, I'll find a way to torture Lestrade, I suppose. Whoops! And yes, I'm sure there are some solutions to this problem, but that might require talking openly. ;) Thanks for reading!

Lovely! But I'm not sure who to feel sorrier for - Lestrade, building his house and knowing he'll never get it, or Mycroft, never realizing that Lestrade wants it.

[brighteyed_jill]

For as close as these two are, you think they'd learn to talk about their feelings once in a while! Sadly, no. But yes, I feel sorry for both of them. Thanks for reading!

Ohhhh. So many different levels of action and emotion in such a small amount of time, including my own anxiety as the reality of their type of relationship became clear by the end. And azriona's comment only adds to the sadness!
Sigh. Well, maybe Lestrade *will* be able to tell Mycroft, and they can have that house. *keeps hoping*

[brighteyed_jill]

Yes, perhaps someday these two will get their communication channels open! Until then, much will continue to live in the space between them. Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment!

First I was so ridiculous happy to find out you wrote another M/L fic and then I read it and of course you break my heart but I still loved it all, maybe even more because you have your gorgeous Greg and all his needless self sacrifices that I love so much even if I'm just yelling at him to talk to Mycroft hehe.

Ah Greg, maybe I'm crazy but I can't help thinking that Mycroft is almost as wretched about being apart as Greg but since those two never talk, that's what you get. Greg and maybe Mycroft thinking they shouldn't want more than what they have.

Every once in a while I have to break out of slave AU mode and write something else. However, as you've noticed, I can't escape the angst and communication issues! I think you may be right about Mycroft's opinion on all this. If only they would talk! Glad you enjoyed :)
