Rating: 18 (explicit femslash)

Summary: Anthea and Ella really shouldn't be so unprofessional.

Originally written for a Five Acts meme asking for quiet, voyeurism and semi-public sex.





This isn't just unprofessional, it's insane. And they are both normally very, very professional. But this Monday morning Anthea is skiving off a briefing at the MoD, and Ella is fingering a client in her consulting room. Well, it's Anthea pretending to be a client, but if they're discovered, that's not going to help.


Anthea has to leave in ten minutes and plans to claim she's late because she got stuck in a jam. When she purrs "stuck in a jam" at Ella, she manages to make it sound like the kinkiest thing ever.


"More," Anthea gasps now, her breasts wriggling under the fabric of her smart blouse.


"Someone will hear," Ella protests, looking up.


"Don't your clients ever start screaming?"


"Not normally 'Do that again'. You're so loud sometimes." Ella secretly loves her ability to shatter Anthea's cool facade. But it's too dangerous here.


"Well, if you don't want to be involved, you can just watch." Anthea's fingers reach down into herself. It's a beautiful sight, Ella thinks, but Anthea's soon complaining the angle's wrong. "And I need my hands free," she says, "to muffle the sounds."


But when Ella's renewed stroking gets her close, Anthea's hand instead hits a button on her Blackberry. And suddenly her lustful cries are hidden by a sound outside, as a car alarm blares.

Written for a Sherlock rare pair prompt by Blooms84 for Ella/Anthea:

Anthea's not allowed to/doesn't choose to talk much in her day-to-day life as assistant to the British government. Nice to go home to someone who wants to listen. Nice to get out of those uncomfortable suits and heels too.

Betaed by the wonderful fengirl whose fic Sleeping Beauty first got me thinking about this pairing.


Last client of the week finished with, and Ella could finally switch on her mobile.  )

Rating: 15 (swearing, slash, femslash, het)

Spoilers: for Scandal in Belgravia.

For Bloom84's Laud Lestrade prompt: Choosing a P.E. teacher over Greg Lestrade? That's just utterly implausible. There must be some really complicated backstory to explain that fantasy plotline. Unless the P.E. teacher is Michael Fassbender--and then I still have my doubts. Please give me a fic that sorts this out.

Note: NFB (Normal For Bridgwater) is an abbreviation allegedly used by medical staff in Somerset for patients with non-specific mental confusion.

Greg Lestrade had been happily married for six years. And unhappily married for a further seventeen. Or at least that was the official line. )

Originally posted at the Sherlock rarepair meme


It was supposed to be Molly in danger, not her, Anthea thought, sitting and watching the sleeping woman. That was why she'd been taken to the safe house: they couldn't leave a kitten like her wandering round the jungle on her own.

"Moriarty posed as her boyfriend and then blew up her morgue for fun," Mycroft had said at the briefing. "Ms Hooper needs protection, but a male bodyguard might alarm her."

"And I won't?"

"The evidence suggests she has very poor gaydar, but be discreet, please."

Anthea had been, of course; three weeks in, Molly had no idea the effect she was having on her. Ridiculous for this to happen, she knew. Anthea was Mycroft Holmes' PA, kept half the British government's secrets. Several very clever women had tried to seduce her over the years. As well as a larger number of very stupid men who apparently didn't understand about lipstick lesbians.

Molly didn't try to seduce Anthea. She just adored her, with an innocent sisterly adoration that seeped quietly through Anthea's armour-plated defences. Made her nostalgic for romantic urges she thought she'd long since overcome.

Impossible to tell Molly the truth now. She'd see it as a trick, another clever plan to manipulate her, Anthea realised. And even a kitten, if you cornered it, could scratch till you bled.

Happy Christmas to fengirl88.

Rating: 15 (femslash)

Prompt: Sally/Ella

Notes: Sequels to PC World and Straight, Scholar, Smooth

Calm

Ella was a careful woman, especially when her straight friends were concerned. There was a fine line between appreciation and causing alarm. Though less so with Sally Donovan. Sally was breathtakingly sexy sometimes, almost demanding that everyone in the room should desire her. Ella had grown used to letting her eyes linger unashamedly on Sally's breasts, or the strip of pale brown skin between crop top and jeans.

“What do lesbians do in bed?” Sally asked her out of the blue one day.

“Whatever they find erotic,” Ella replied calmly.

“Wanna show me?”

Sally was adventurous; it was doubtless the taboo-breaking that was driving her interest more than Ella. But she was also gorgeous.

“If you like,” she replied, and let her hand reach out to brush Sally’s cheek.

***

As she’d expected, Sally was impatient, almost aggressive in bed. Used to men with inadequate foreplay, Ella deduced. Let’s try and change the tempo a bit.

“Lie still,” she murmured, “I’ve been longing to get my hands on you.” Her skilful fingers started a slow, thorough exploration of Sally’s body, from the dense spring of her hair to her pale insteps. Only then did they reach into the warm heat inside Sally, slowly increase the intensity till she had her panting, desperate. Afterwards, Sally didn't speak, just lay there, gasping for breath.


Storm

Ella had dignity, that was the word, Sally decided. The calm, ageless beauty of a bronze statue. Not like her, always losing her rag, letting the bastards get to her. Ella had poise and Sally admired, envied that. But sometimes she found Ella’s self-control unnerving. Every action, every word carefully considered, as if she had forgotten the rawness, the passion that she must once have had.

Even in the bedroom, Ella found it hard to lose control: a slow simmer rather than boiling lust. But Sally was a detective: it wasn’t long before she found the parcel hidden away at the back of Ella’s wardrobe.

“You into handcuffs, then?” she asked, dragging them out.

“Not really,” Ella replied smoothly. “I bought them ages ago, but my partner then didn’t like the idea.”

“What you need a copper for,” Sally said smiling. “Teach you to use them properly.”

“I don’t need you to-,” Ella began, and Sally knew she was blushing now, even if she couldn’t see it.

“You didn’t return them or dump them.” Sally let her voice grow husky.  “You still wonder, even though it feels wrong. Maybe specially 'coz it feels wrong. Tonight, Ella, we’re gonna do dirty things together, all the things you've never dared to want. And I’m gonna make you come till I melt your bones."

Happy Christmas to rabidsamfan

Rating: 12 (embarassing medico-historical facts)

Prompt: Harry/Molly, last word "bananas"


“We get to the junction in about a m-mile,” Harry said, staring at the map by torchlight.

“And what direction do we go?” Molly asked. There was a moment’s intense concentration in the passenger seat.

“Left,” Harry announced triumphantly.

Molly tried not to look relieved when the signpost confirmed that Shrewsbury was the next turn on the left. It hadn’t been an easy drive.

“I could have come on my own,” Harry said mildly. “Taken the train.”

“I wanted to come. You need...” Molly paused. She mustn’t say: You need looking after. “You need someone to discuss medieval medicine with.”

“They should have invited you to speak, not m-me,” Harry said. “Why does a Cadfael Weekend want a historian of eighteenth-century crime?”

“Because one of the organisers heard your talk about hanging, and thought it was brilliant,” Molly replied, smiling. “But please don’t mention post-mortem priapism this time.”

“Not very Ellis P-Peters?” Harry asked. “But it’s fascinating.”

Molly had mostly got over her fear that Harry would start drinking when she went off to conferences. Now she just worried that she’d tell a roomful of elderly women about hanged men getting erections. Or forget to sleep or eat properly. Which was why, besides the sexy underwear she’d packed for herself, their luggage also included ear-plugs, lavender oil, cereal bars and bananas.

For all of you who want something that isn't Sherlock/John, the Sherlock rare Pair fest is open for prompts until Dec 15th. They include Mystrade as rare (strangely), but there are already prompts for Sherlstrade, femslash and het as well. So get over there and prompt or fill!

I am trying to resist filling stuff there, but if there is anything too tempting I may yet succumb.

The first of my two Summer of Sherlock fics It's raining, it's pouring went up on Thursday. It's yet another new pairing for me (Molly/Sarah).

I had a lot of help for this, when I asked for songs about rain (preferably from the early 1990s, when Molly would have been a teenager). There's a tracklist at the end of the fic, but I also had additional suggestions I couldn't use. So here, thanks to bookletting, flawedamethyst and shouldboverthis, is a tracklist with bonus tracks:


Main tracklist

Barbara Streisand/Donna Summer, No More Tears (Enough is Enough)

Geri Haliwell, It's Raining Men

a-ha, Crying in the Rain

Commitments, I Can't Stand the Rain

Frank and Nancy Sinatra, Something Stupid

Travis, Why Does it Always Rain on Me?

Zoe, Sunshine on a Rainy Day


Bonus Tracks

Madonna, Rain

Garbage, Only Happy When It Rains

Everything But the Girl, Missing

Billy Myers, Kiss the Rain

Heather Nova, London Rain

Jane Siberry, It Can't Rain All the Time

Blind Melon, No Rain

Jars of Clay, Flood

James, Sometimes

Please feel free to leave your own rain-related songs in comments, so my musical education can get expanded further. I am now off on holiday, which will hopefully involve not too much rain, and definitely will include broadband access.

Posting may be light here for the next few weeks, because I'm currently finishing up some long fics and getting them betaed. Meanwhile, here are some other shiny things to keep people occupied:


1) Sherlockmas: Summer of Sherlock


Photobucket
THE GAME IS ON!
Join us for daily Sherlock fic!

Click image to find us


A couple of fics of mine will be appearing in this at some point (both new pairings for me), but there are already a number of good fics there, including a very moving backstory for Lestrade by fengirl.


2) Further Interest: the Other Half of Sherlock Holmes


I know a number of my readers enjoy femslash and reading/writing about the female characters in Sherlock, so can I recommend Further Interest. This describes itself as "a community for recs, fic posts, and discussion of women and gender issues in Arthur Conan Doyle's original canon and all its variations." If you've got fics or recs suitable for going there, can you also post them, to help develop the community.


3) BBC Writer's Room


I recently came across this interesting resource for writers, which included shooting scripts for a number of BBC TV drama episodes. Among them is the shooting script for "Blind Banker". I know this is the episode of Sherlock that people can't stand, but I found it quite interesting technically to see how it got changed during shooting and how the actions we see on screen are being described in words.
