Dec 20, 2011 11:55

BBC Sherlock

Rating 15 (swearing, implicit het and slash)

Spoilers: none for Series 2, possibly for Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

Betaed by lucoluco

Part 1, Part 3

Summary: Sally Donovan is proving a useful distraction from the Service's real mole. But things are getting a little too personal for Mycroft now.

( Mycroft realised the scale of his mistake as he watched the Met's press conference. A junior minister dead, talk of serial suicides, and at the heart of the investigations, was a woman who ever increasing numbers of people believed was crooked. )

Someone was just saying on another fic that we need more first person Mycroft, and here it is!

This story is so complex, intricate connections, fascinating.

Lovely intrigue for a rainy morning.

Glad you're enjoying the fic - I've just put the final part up. Yes, I'm trying to clear out some of my fics pre S2. Though there are still things lurking I'm not going to be able to post in time.

I was briefly a minor civil servant myself, so I do like writing fics which show some of the grind of governmental work (though my stuff's rather more fanciful than Tinker, Tailor, Soldier. Spy, which does show espionage in its true depressing ordinariness).

This is twisty and fascinating and I just love it.

This is pitch-perfect and HEAVENLY. MOAR PLZ?

I'll try and put the final part up either tomorrow or Thursday (it's all lurking on my hard drive).
