    Summary

    Before his marriage collapsed, Greg Lestrade had often thought about having a child. Not romantically, nor on impulse, just a quiet, persistent longing, like a space inside him that never quite closed. A child to whom he could give the affection he had never received from the father who left too early.

    Caroline did not want children, and Greg respected her choice.

    But the universe is rarely lazy. One day, without warning, a one-year-old baby appeared at his door, left in a cardboard box, accompanied by DNA results and adoption papers bearing Greg’s name.

    Greg swore to God, the child was his double at first glance. The only differences were the shock of ginger hair and the blue-grey eyes staring up at him. Eyes so familiar they were frightening.

    And so, at forty two, Detective Inspector Greg Lestrade became a father to a child whose mother he did not know.

    But life doesn't let him off easily.

    Mycroft Holmes.

    The man Greg had buried his feelings for. The man he never allowed himself to reach for.

    “Daddy.”

    The word struck like an explosion.

    Greg’s world was shattered, and for the first time, he seriously considered leaving England.

    Immediately.

    Summary

    Thorin is at work, and the other guys have noticed his Tinkerbell thermos that was a gift from Frodo and is filled every morning by Bilbo.

    As if Thorin gives a shit what any of them think, even if his brother is the one who is taking the piss out of him most.

    Summary

    “Would you stop staring,” Bilbo hissed, for the fifth time since service had started. “He’s not about to grow horns.”

    Bofur looked guiltily away from the door, and scuttled back over to the tail end of appetiser prep. “Just checkin’ if he liked the amuse-bouche.”

    “Well,” Bilbo scowled, “We have an entire restaurant to feed, not just Mister Durin, and Lobelia’s in a fine mood tonight, so if I don’t keep you at prep, she’ll light your tail with the blowtorch, I don’t wonder.”

    Summary

    They entered the portal with a big flash of light, like a family member welcoming you home.

    While consumed by the brightness, heartbeats away from blacking out and making everything go back to normal, Shadow prayed that they made it in time.

    Because for a second, just for a split moment, he felt Sonic disappear from his embrace.

    Summary

    Sakura has yet to learn how to heal life-threatening injuries. Until she finishes her training, saving lives is something she needs to leave to her fellow medical-nin.

    When it’s Kakashi’s life that needs saving, though, she can’t bring herself to stand by and do nothing. Even if her efforts won’t determine whether he lives or dies.
