Mycroft Holmes/Greg Lestrade Prompt

The discovery of each other's peculiarities (my examples are lame perhaps you can come up with more fun ones), i.e.: like Mycroft has blueberry and banana pancakes only on Tuesdays and Lestrade lines up his toiletries in a perfect row (cologne, toothpaste, etc)

[bbcsherlockmultishipficprompts]

Mycroft Holmes/Greg Lestrade Prompts

Silver fox; As a consequence of getting older, Greg finds he's needing bifocals to function properly. He had no idea how much of a turn-on Mycroft found them...

[bbcsherlockmultishipficprompts]

Mycroft Holmes/Greg Lestrade Prompts

The nape of his neck; Greg finds out that Mycroft is particularly… receptive to being touched in a certain spot, and he uses/exploits this mercilessly.

Mystrade May 2026

Mystrade Sacrifice May Collection is now created! Please visit this COLLECTION PAGE for Info and FAQ.

Intro:

A collection of stories posted for the Mystrade Is Sacrifice event in May 2026. Originated and maintained by @paialovespie, with collaboration by @ewebie and @meansgirlwrites.

This event is intended to inspire new works in the Mystrade fandom on the theme of Sacrifice.

FAQ:

Can I post a WIP? : Yes, as long as at least one chapter is added to the collection by July 1, 2026.

What do you mean by "Sacrifice"?: This theme is up for interpretation. Your submission should include some element involving a sacrifice by one or both characters, or a plot centering around a sacrifice that affects them. Definition: sacrifice (noun): the act of giving up or losing something of value for the sake of something else.

Can my story have other relationship pairings?: Yes, but Mycroft and Greg must be the primary romantic pairing featured in the story.

Can I post crossovers with another fandom?: Yes, but all other rules must be followed.

I added my story - Why don't I see my story in the collection?: All stories added to this collection are moderated, meaning they must be confirmed by a collection moderator before they are added. Stories will be confirmed within 24 hours - please be patient :)

I finished my story early - can I add it to the collection now?: The collection will not be open for new story submissions until May 1, 2026.

Rules:

1. This should be a new work that hasn't been posted anywhere else yet. (if you want to post early, or late, just let me know - we can be flexible.) 2. The main pairing should be Mycroft Holmes and Greg Lestrade. 3. The story should feature a main theme or element of Sacrifice 4. All maturity ratings are welcome. 5. The minimum word count for acceptance is 2,000 words. 6. Collection opens May 1, 2026.

This collection was conceptualized and has been traditionally maintained by @paialovespie. This year, @meansgirlwrites and @ewebie are also pitching in, so please feel free to reach out to us with any questions.

TUMBLR'S RECENT UPDATE IS AWFUL AND WE SHOULD COMPLAIN LOUDER AGAINST IT.

Hey so, I thought maybe we should participate in a blackout day to protest against the new tumblr update.

Let's try March 19. So that people have time to see this and plan for it.

Do not log in or use tumblr for 24 on this day.

Reblog this and make a tag chain to maximise visbility—the more people aware of this awful update, the better.

Circle the date on your calendar, or set a reminder on your phone. As a bonus it will be a good break from social media. Spend the day doing things you like—start that book you've been waiting to read, go outside, watch a good movie... just do anything except open tumblr.

I think we should show tumblr that we are not happy with this update in every possible way we can.

File support tickets with feedback (SEE BELOW ON HOW TO SEND FEEDBACK), post about how this update makes you feel, reblog other's posts about this update, offer as detailed and honest feedback as possible to tumblr—WE DO NOT WANT THIS UPDATE!!

Remember that WE are the end consumers.

WE build their platform, WE fill it with posts, WE are the reason they generate revenue, WE are the reason this platform has power, and for these reasons WE should feel satisfied with the service they provide. ESPECIALLY if you pay for tumblr premium, you are entitled to make a complaint about the platform you are PAYING.

I used to like tumblr and I'd like to cling to it, but this update is just horrible. It makes me not want to continue posting at all. It is utterly demotovating as-is with my being mature labelled, but this update is just intolerable. I do not know how I will feel motivated to post at all in the future if this update is not rolled back.

I know I don't have much reach, especially with a label on, but I hope this reaches at least a few people.

Please participate if you care. Please reblog and tag people you know. Send every bit of feedback to tumblr that you possibly can.

I really don't want to see my once favorite site ruined beyond repair. I really want to continue enjoying this site. I have a community of people here which I have built over years, a community which I deeply love and appreciate and cherish interacting with. My blog thrives on being able to see feedback in reblogs on my post. The whole point of posting is that people see it and engage with it. This update is at best nonsensical and at worst, going to shred off many creators from the platform and rip apart any last bits of fun we have using it.

Tagging everyone I can think of.

Im enjoying the longevity of tumblrs recontextualization style of humor. a seemingly innocuous post followed by like "posts that a gnome would make" or like "are you a phone"

Mycroft stole the key and that’s why he looks so smug over in April

Btw I just discovered I’m losing followers for posting these so I hope the rest of you appreciate them haha

And those who don’t why on earth were you following me in the first place this is what i do

[feri-arts]

I've been drawing illustrations with Mycroft and Greg for many years, but I've never really published them. Therefore, I will just leave some old works here, and later I will publish some more recent sketches with their participation :3

Domaystic 2026

Domaystic comes from “domestic” + “May” and it's a prompt event that runs throughout May with a list of 31 prompts for its 31 days. And also 5 alternatives are back. The overall theme is that of the domestic trope: anything inside, outside, beside the house or that has that normalcy flavor of everyday life.

Anyone, in their own way of expression, is welcome to use the prompts and create: fics, art, gifs, podcasts, whatever tickles your fancy, there are no restrictions. For any questions or such, the ask inbox is always open :)

Hello, all! I’m @staticmothhell, stepping in for g. to make sure we have Domaystic this year! I’ll be doing my best to run it in the same way, so you all hopefully won’t notice too much different. The one thing is that I’ll likely be slow and/or erratic with my reblogging during May. Rest assured I’ll still be reblogging everything tagged as properly (as described below).

Thank you all for your patience with me!

All fandoms or original content are welcome.

Any kind of media is welcome.

No restrictions in ships, size, pixels, min/max word count or language.

There are a 31 prompts, one for each day of the month + 5 alternatives if needed.

If you plan to share your work, and if you want, you can add it on the 2026 AO3 collection; or, by tagging or mentioning this blog here on tumblr, I'll reblog it.

It's okay to combine more prompts together or with another event.

You don’t have to do all the prompts: do the ones you enjoy.

Domaystic runs actively throughout May; tracking #domaystic2026, mentions @domaystic, and previous years tags too; if you tag the blog on a later date, that’s fine too, I just reblog on a lower pace after May is over.

Tags to navigate the blog: tumblr post or page on blog

Tagging your tumblr post:

Mention: @domaystic or use the tag: #domaystic2026

Tell me the fandom name or if it is original content

Tell me if it is sfw or nsfw

Tell me which prompt you used if a day# or an alt#

For lengthy posts, please use the “read more option”: ctrl-shift-k on rich text; [[*MORE*]] on html (remove asterisks)

Please, TAG PROPERLY. If there are any trigger warning, I will base my own reblog on your tags so, please, take even a moment longer to carefully tag it. I hope all participants to stay safe in this event.

Here’s an example:

This is my fic/art @domaystic! #domaystic2026 #day1 #[altA - E if alternative prompt is used] #[fandom name or oc] #[sfw or nsfw] #[trigger warnings that I get from your post] tw
