Summary
“I hear you killed a child.”
Patroclus looked up, wary. The boy crossing the garden to the olive tree Patroclus sat beneath had hair the colour of ripened wheat and skin like pale, fine sand. Younger than Patroclus but already just as tall, Achilles was rumoured to be half Nereid, half human. He looked altogether human, though, which had been a bit of a disappointment. Patroclus had been expecting at least scales or blue hair. Something.
“I did,” Patroclus said, keeping his tone even. It wouldn’t do to break down before a stranger. Myrmidons weren’t meant to be ruled intensely by emotions like regret. “Lyseon was a childhood friend, the son of a retainer.”

Summary
During an undercover task as a Muggle Prime Minister's secretarial team staff member, Harry Potter meets Mycroft Holmes, and they somehow slip into a brief, unspoken entanglement. Not quite a romance, not entirely nothing. Just something... The undercover job ends, and months pass. Then the man shows up at Grimmauld Place, looking exactly as Harry remembers: composed to the point of arrogance, with that ever-watchful gaze that misses absolutely nothing.
“I’m living in a world of goldfish,” Mycroft says dryly. Then, as if on second thought, he looks at Harry and something flickers in his eyes. “But,” he adds, “you’re quite an interesting goldfish.”
“Charming,” Harry says flatly. “So I’m more interesting than the average fish. That’s reassuring.”
A faint smirk tugs at Mycroft’s lips. “Don’t be offended. Most of humanity barely qualifies as plankton.” -

Summary
Being a follow up to 'The Case of the Unwelcome Owl'; Mycroft Holmes has a little chat with the good doctor. (I wrote this ages ago, and never got around to uploading it to the archive; it's possible that I will at some stage sit down and write the whole story of Luna's wedding, but lest that never come to pass, here's another snippet set in that world.)
