Author's summary: This is the story of what happened in Santiago, or When Mycroft Met Anthea.

Reccer's comments: Despite being part of sheffiesharpe’s wonderful Mycroft/Lestrade series “At Least There’s Football,” this story is all about Anthea and can be enjoyed on its own.  Anthea is such a cipher in canon that you can build almost any backstory for her, and sheffiesharpe’s “Anthea is totally a ninja” version is my favorite.  In this story sheffiesharpe builds a picture of Anthea’s past that is so dense and real that I found myself tearing up by the end. Mycroft is simply wonderful in this as well.  Highly recommended!
