Woohoo! I love the tangled web you're weaving for these two. It's all shadows and threats..or threats-that-aren't-threats. Poor Lestrade, utterly powerless to stop Mycroft except by throwing his entire career away. But I'm glad that they *seem* to be fighting on the same side now. Possibly...

Yay! You updated! And it's soooooooo good!
Poor Lestrade - Mycroft just keeps on steam-rolling over him. But it's gonna get better now he's going to help Sherlock... right...?

Hurrah - another instalment! Admiring Lestrade very much in this. Also wanting Mycroft to get his come-uppance though I realize this is unlikely....

Mycroft is going to have to get used to surprises...

Thanks for commenting, feeds the soul!

Okay, I am well and truly hooked on this and will avidly searching for updates

[randomly_rusted]

Yes, this is prior to Study in Pink, I will put a note in the headers. Good call!

I'm stoked you like my Lestrade. Yes, I'm working on it, but the update rate is slowing as the work is harder and the characters aren't co-operating.

If you want to friend to catch updates, feel free.

That's not a bad idea. Although I don't regularly check my flist en masse, at least I'll always know where to find your stuff.

I'll also keep checking out sherlockbbc which is how I found the story in the first place.

See ya round.
