He realised that some officers were able to maintain reasonably healthy relationships and remain on the force, but he had tried that. He was too intense, too passionate, to balance his life to the satisfaction of a partner, and when given the choice between a partner and his job he had chosen his job. Every time.

That was wonderful. I just love reading BAMF Lestrade, and the friendships in this fic and the emotion, gosh the emotion is incredible. Love the OC, and Anthea’s character is wonderful. Not to mention the amazingly vulnerable and strange yet sweet shipping!

The summary does not do it justice. Not only is this the longest Mystrade fic I’ve read, it’s also one of the best. Lestrade’s OC family is simply incredible, and the nieces are just the best. Anthea’s part in here is so well developed, and the progress of Mycroft and Greg’s relationship is believable. In short, this fic is beautiful. Definitely a love story. A Romance.

Die Hard, Lestrade Style

Greg Lestrade headed to LA to fix his marriage. What he didn’t expect was to be stuck in a heist situation. To make things worse, Mycroft Holmes was caught up in this impossible situation as well… Inspired by the movie Die Hard, where Greg Lestrade = John McClane, with extra plot twists thrown into the mix. Cheers.

Lestrade and Mycroft are so bad ass in this. Action packed plot, mutual pining, hella angst-this fics got it all. Oh, and Anthea is great in this.
