headers: pinning, satan, torture, shapeshifting, the grim reaper

1. Greg can't believe that the man he has been pinning for the one and only Mycroft Holmes, wants Greg to play his boyfriend at an event where Mycroft's mother will be. This is maybe his only chance to show the man how he feels. He can't blow it.



2. Mycroft IS the British Government Mycroft was a spy Established Mycroft Holmes/Greg Lestrade mystrade Established Relationship Overprotective!Mycroft
   Summary: Greg was kidnapped and tortured. Six months later he wakes up after a nightmare and has a long-overdue conversation with Mycroft about his role as the British Government.



3. Christmas Mycroft is Satan Greg's an Angel a puppy is involved Sort Of Don't copy to another site
   Summary: The King of Hell receives a letter that sets him on a task requiring the advice and assistance of a certain, manly angel...



4. Summary: Mycroft has groomed his persona as the Ice Man, but sometimes he needs thing to get a little hot. Cue his inherited ability to shape-shift; he transforms into someone else and burns off his pent up sexual energy.
   
   It's a system that has worked beautifully for years. Until, that is, he becomes mildly obsessed with getting into Lestrade's pants. Unfortunately, no matter what guise he approaches the man in, Mycroft strikes out. His hunger for Lestrade isn't helped by the time the two spend together.



5. John's been obsessed with Sherlock since the first time he saw him, when Sherlock showed up to take his mum's soul. But Sherlock was a spectre and John's a human, and John just couldn't do it anymore.

postal adventures

I finished knitting the lilac cabled hooded sweater and ordered the zipper practically a month ago - from Germany because I couldn't find the right size in a purple one at a Finnish shop - and it shipped on July 18th, but no sign of it whatsoever. Presumably just lost forever, given that Citymarket is no longer in control of our parcel deliveries so it can't have been behind the sofa the whole time. I'm just gonna wait around and hope it shows up a bit longer, however, because I don't want to deal with ordering it again. (Weather that would make it possible to wear the sweater is still a month or so away, anyway.)

Also I ordered a Shefit bra in June for Wax, after isilya mentioned them in the comments on my last brassierology post. Since it had to ship from the US, the total cost was $97 USD, and then we had to pay a customs fee of 20€ (and it's still in Helsinki atm). Given the amount of existential, physical, and emotional pain people with large breasts must go through, it will totally be worth it if it's as revolutionary as some of the reviews claim, and if she doesn't like it it won't be the most expensive failed lingerie purchase (maybe the most expensive single item though).
