Okay, I saw ratherastory and claudiapriscus do this yesterday, and even though I'm kind of busy, I want to do it too!

Tell me about a story I haven't written, and I will give you 1-3 sentences (or more) from or about it.

Any of my fandoms are fair game...even ones that you know I like, but I've never actually written for before. Only, I won't write about Teen Wolf, because I haven't actually watched that show yet. You can also prompt for any of my 'verses if you like. ETA: You can also prompt for my original fic fantasy novel (for those of you who liked the drabbles I did of it back in April.)

In other news: I finished watching the first season of White Collar. It was good, and the actors are great, and I love the Peter/Neal/Elizabeth dynamic... but the show didn't really grab me when it comes right down to it. It was, however, GREAT to watch while sewing my new curtains, because it's the type of show that you don't actually have to pay that much attention to.

I may have given in and downloaded the first few episodes of Teen Wolf.... I haven't watched them yet. But just to give you an idea of how little I know about the actual show: I did not realize it was an hour-long drama. For some reason, I had it in my head that it was a half-hour program... like a dramatic sitcom or something? I have no idea why I thought that. Perhaps because the last teenage werewolf program I watched was Big Wolf on Campus. And for those of you who know what that is: Don't judge me! It was back in the age of dial-up internet and I wanted to understand the Tommy/Merton slash that I had found while looking for Dead Man on Campus slash (again, no judging allowed... I loved that movie.)

Now off to do errands... if anyone prompts, I'll most likely leave the responses until tonight or tomorrow. Tomorrow I have to clean my apartment, and writing tiny little fics instead would be a welcome distraction to that.

"May I help you?"

The man turned to her, giving an insincere smile.

"I'm here to see Detective Inspector Gregory Lestrade," he replied.

"This way," Sally moved through the desks, knowing that he had fallen into step behind her. "And you are?" she asked, half turning.

"Mycroft Holmes," the man replied, as though the name should mean something. It didn't. Only... only there had been that bloke, the other day who had shown up at the crime scene - made comments... and he had also introduced himself as Holmes. Sally stole a glance behind her as they neared Lestrade's door - they didn't look much alike, yet there was that same posh condescension about them. The other Holmes had been open about it, but this one tried to hide it behind a creepy smile.

Sally gave a perfunctory knock on Lestrade's door, and then poked her head in. "There's a Mycroft Holmes here to see you, sir."

Lestrade narrowed his eyes, but before either of them could say anything more, Holmes was pushing the door open full and striding into the room like he owned it. Sally gave Lestrade a shrug and left. Greg would tell her about it after, he always did.

Only he didn't, and Sherlock started turning up more often... and Sally... well, those Holmes brothers gave Sally a bad feeling, and she had long learned to trust her gut when it came to things like this.

(PS: I don't actually think this is something that happened. In my headcanon, Mycroft and Sally haven't met yet... and Mycroft would certainly never pull strings to get Sherlock a job that Mycroft doesn't even approve of.)

Ooooh, thank you so much for filling my prompt!

Well, we could always pretend that Mycroft was there to bully Lestrade into refusing Sherlock further access to crime scenes, right? :)

Otherwise, I really liked your comparison between the Holmes brothers:
There was that same posh condescension about them. The other Holmes had been open about it, but this one tried to hide it behind a creepy smile.

And how Lestrade's working relationship/friendship/whatever with Sherlock caused a riff between Lestrade and Sally.

So happy right now, thanks again!
*hugs*

Yeah, I actually do believe that Lestrade's relationship with Sherlock caused a riff between him and Sally... that's true!

I'm glad you liked it! :)
