Summary
The door opened and a new arrival came in. Mycroft straightened his back and took a good look at the newcomer.
Dressed in blue jeans and a white shirt, he could easily be one of the most handsome men Mycroft had the pleasure of meeting -or not meeting- in his entire life. With a dash of exaggeration. But not much.Written for Mystrade is Meet Cute May Challenge & Mystrade Monday Prompts: "You know you can't fool me."

Summary
Initially, Greg sees Mycroft as just another fussy regular with overly specific tea preferences. When Mycroft accidentally leaves behind sensitive government documents hidden in a stack of books, Greg cautiously returns them, unintentionally uncovering a small political conspiracy. Forced to rely on each other to resolve the issue discreetly, they grow closer, bonding over literature, tea, and late-night talks. Soon the bookshop becomes their secret haven, helping them navigate life's uncertainties together.

Summary
Since it's Christmas I thought we needed (even more) Mystrade Christmassy goodness so this was born. And because it's our boys it does not go according to plan, mostly because Mycroft is an idiot and Greg is scared of being deported and Mycroft is sarcastic and Greg enjoys pissing him off way too much. This will probably be three or four chapters and I'll hopefully get it all uploaded over the next couple of days.
