Summary
"Well. I'm flattered and insulted. Just another afternoon with Mycroft Holmes."
"I do so like to be consistent."
There were any number of reasons why this was a terrible idea—not the least of which was that Mycroft seemed to think that making Greg angry amounted to a sort of charm.

Summary
Things were good, all told. Weren’t they? He had a job he was good at, a modest flat, a fantastic daughter who worried about him a bit too much for comfort, an ex he could at least speak with without it devolving into shouting and tears, and his car was in decent repair. On paper he was doing just fine. So why did he feel so…at a loss?
Furthermore, Greg and Mycroft weren't actually dating. Mycroft was just a casual shag. This was an important thing to remember.

Summary
He had just been learning the shape of his life after divorce when this relationship with Mycroft came along. And now a feeling of change hung about the corners of his mind like a spectre, unwilling or unable to let him go, and the sand under his feet always seemed to be shifting, shifting. Greg needed something solid to lean on.
They'd fought their battles, and reached a measure of peace. But it was still going to take a little time to bring everything into accord.

Summary
The snow was falling again, heavier and larger now, and up in the trees the ravens complained to each other about the state of it. Greg rifled in his coat for his emergency stash, then shook out a cigarette and his lighter.
"One more, please," said Mycroft.
Greg peered at him. "Really?"
"It's been a disconcerting day."
As far as Greg was concerned, the only Dickensian thing likely was the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come manifesting in the fireplace and ushering them all to hell.
