Mystrade May 2025

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

Intro:

A collection of stories posted for the Mystrade Is Meet Cute event in May 2025

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

FAQ:

Can I post a WIP? : Yes, as long as at least one chapter is added to the collection by July 1, 2025.

What do you mean by "Meet Cute"?: A meet cute is a scene in which two people meet for the first time in a charming, humorous, or unusual way and eventually become a romantic couple. It's a common trope in romantic comedies, but can also appear in sitcoms and soap operas.

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, 2025.

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 Meet Cute 4. All maturity ratings are welcome. 5. The minimum word count for acceptance is 2,000 words.

He invites John to share a flat with him even though he knows one day John will find his soulmate and leave Sherlock. But then Moriarty happens and Sherlock is forced to leave by way of faking his own death. He will never forget the way John yelled while he lie there in a pool of fake blood.
