    Summary

    This story is written as a sort of sequel to Cthulhu’s Bonsai, a collection of short stories also available on my profile. Without it some context and worldbuilding is lost, so I recommend giving it a quick read beforehand. I hope you enjoy both, thanks for reading!

    After Earth discovers the wondrous and mysterious Tree, a colony is quickly established on the planet surrounding the Tree. One doctor finds herself involved in a mystery with the Tree at its heart.

    Summary

    “Then its settled.  You can take the other bed, and I shall sleep better knowing I didn’t send a man in need of a good night’s sleep out into the cold when I could help.”  Will nodded, a ghost of his laughter still painted across his features.

    “I appreciate it, Mr.-”

    “Lecter,” the stranger said, his voice low and smooth as honey.  “Hannibal Lecter.”

    When Will misses his flight home and has to take a hotel for the night, he's unsurprised to find that most rooms have been booked. When a handsome stranger offers him the second bed in his own room, they come to the profound understanding that miracles can be found in the most unexpected of places.

    Summary

    Tony doesn't begrudge anyone else their enjoyment of the holiday season; he just wants to be left out of it. He's never really seen the point. Bucky's usually all for it, but a disaster at work that forced him to cancel his plans to travel with his family have left him feeling a little curmudgeonly. The two meet and bond over their shared lack of interest in the holidays.

    When Tony unexpectedly finds himself taking care of a pair of kids who rather emphatically expect Christmas to be Done Right, he finds himself turning to Bucky for help.

    Summary

    Maybe he could have been an artist, if it weren't for the fact that the dead can possess him and communicate through his drawings. He's spent his life avoiding idleness with pencil and paper. The sensation of possession is rarely pleasant.

    But the spirits are persistent, and if they can't get him while he draws, they'll invade his dreams instead.

    Greg Lestrade joined the police force to placate the ghosts that haunt him. After his greatest asset in solving crime flings himself from a building, Greg is once again faced with too many sleepless nights. When a forceful spirit and a troubling case appear, an innocent man could end up in prison. Out of desperation, Greg turns to the one person who can help him: Mycroft Holmes.

    As attraction blooms between them, the case becomes far more twisted and dangerous than expected. The full moon approaches. Time is running out.

    Summary

    Greg Lestrade is a charismatic and accomplished musician. Mycroft Holmes is a shy and tweedy classics professor. Their friends realize they both plan to quit smoking in the new year. Greg is so lovely, so intimidating, and the threat of intimacy so frightening, that Mycroft keeps smoking. But all kinds of quitting are harder than they look.

    (They kiss)

    (If you like vulnerable Mycroft/confident Greg/Oxbridge aesthetics... *slaps top of car* this has that)

    Summary

    AU where Single!Surgeon!Hannibal really loves Halloween, goes all out decorating his house and ALWAYS hands out candy to the little trick-or-treaters. This year, he is just ENCHANTED by the little Lizzie Borden who comes to his door, Abigail Graham (and her handsome father, Will.)

    What he doesn't know is that Will hunts serial killers, like Abigail's father, and trick-or-treating was just a way for them to vet the place. All Hallow's Eve turns into a game of cat-or-cat as Will Graham stalks Hannibal Lecter.

    Or maybe Hannibal Lecter is stalking Will Graham.

    Summary

    "My horse is hitched to a post closer to Asperger's and autistics than narcissists and sociopaths, but that's not what you want to know. You want to know how I faked my genetic profile."

    Jack straightens. "The Bureau doesn't discriminate along species lines--"

    "Unless, of course, you lie on your application or tamper with the genetic screening your employment is conditional upon," Will counters, upper lip curling in disdain. He's not devout, content to be ignored by Others and gods alike, and though he acknowledges the usefulness of the Compact, he considers the monthly tithe too high a price for the boons they receive in return. He's still going to argue this point with anyone who'll listen, because as little as he likes Others, he appreciates hypocrisy even less.

    Summary

    Everyone has a soulmate. Everyone. It's simple human biology. Over the course of every person's life, they develop tattoos of the things their soulmate loves most.

    Though he has always disliked the concept, Mycroft Holmes is painted from head to toe with dozens of brightly-coloured tattoos. Greg Lestrade, once-firm believer and hopeless romantic, has just nine. They are all quietly sophisticated, sketched in smooth shades of black and grey and easy to hide.

    Neither of them has gained a tattoo in years. But when they both suddenly find new markings, things finally fall into place.

    Summary

    Greg leans close as the man walks away, murmuring directly into Mycroft’s ear. “Question,” he says, mirth obvious in his voice. “Was that a gay thing or a we’ve-never-seen-you-with-anybody thing?”

    Mycroft has sheltered Greg from the vipers' den that is his work for quite some time. Perhaps, though, it is time.

Only the power of quick thinking can save him from a fate worse than death but, luckily, Greg's thinking is some of the quickest in existence when meddlesome mothers are involved...

    Mycroft Holmes has rather a lot of gifts to deliver to a children's shelter and what a lucky coincidence that Greg Lestrade happens to be out and about with an evening free ahead of him. Of course, why he is out and about is a matter best kept secret for the moment from the handsome gift-giving stranger he's about to meet...
