Mycroft Holmes is surrounded by people everyday. He occupies a minor role in the British government, for pete's sake! Nevertheless, Mycroft is lonely. After needing someone from Scotland Yard to work with him, he gets a less-than-warm welcome from Detective Inspector Greg Lestrade. They're complete opposites from each other. Hoping to be acquaintances is a long shot, let alone friends.
But don't opposites attract? Does Mycroft have feeling for Lestrade? And does Lestrade?

The American Fire that Melted the Ice Man (Mycroft Holmes x OC - BBC Sherlock)
What could bring together an American working for Scotland Yard and a man in a 'minor position' in the British government? What might melt the Ice Man, and what could strike fear into the heart of he who has faced down terrorists and negotiated with countless governments? Perhaps, in the end, caring -does- have its advantages. *This is lots of fluff, add in some sass, and a dash of intrigue and adventure. **I'm an American, and I apologize in advance if I get some British bits and pieces wrong. Also, this is fan fiction, so except a dash of OOC and AU because that's what makes fanfic fun. :) ***My original characters and the plot are mine, The Holmes brothers and their family and friends sadly don't belong to me.
