hurrah, you liked it! *dances*

thank you very much - I'm so pleased this worked for you. I thought of the punchline early on, and of course there had to be apricot brandy, in tribute to your hint fiction... *grins*

Love your Mycroft! He's delicious. I think his skin tastes like apricots and honey. lol

Was very worried though, knots in the tum, but Maurice and Lestrade are ok at the end. whew.

thank you very much! very glad you liked this Mycroft and that you enjoyed the fic. I couldn't break up my OTP, so it had to end happily for Maurice and Lestrade. *grins*

thank you very much! *sporfles* oh yes, poor Mycroft...

This is such a cool premise! I can easily imagine Mycroft seeking out anonymous partners and running into someone like Maurice -- someone who is trying to forget the pain of a failed relationship. Of course, given how in the closet Maurice was all those years, it makes sense that he's had sex with a number of anonymous partners. It probably suits his lifestyle almost as well as it suits Mycroft's. Anywaaaaaay, I really like the way they run into each other at Clive's party, especially when Maurice can't help asking Mycroft if he's related to Sherlock Holmes. Maurice's guilt and concern about Lestrade is really touching. I thought it was funny that Lestrade found the situation so amusing and couldn't help teasing Maurice while trying to reassure him. Love the "blow his cover" pun and the "What happens in Budapest stays in Budapest" line that crop up in their banter at the end.

I hope you'll consider writing a fic in which Maurice and Lestrade roleplay an anonymous sexual encounter scenario. That would be awesome.

thank you very much! I wanted to do this as a trio of 221bs so there wasn't space for the actual roleplaying, but I'm not ruling it out for the future. *grins*

I think that (as kalypso_v said in her beta comments on this) Maurice would like personal with the right person but appreciates anonymous - so he's half way between Mycroft's preference for anonymity and Lestrade's personal approach, where the anonymity becomes roleplay.

very glad you enjoyed the humour, especially "What happens in Budapest stays in Budapest"!
