Author's summary: He’s just one click away…

Mycroft Holmes has found the perfect lover – online. When the sexy words of ‘Sterling’ fly across the computer screen, he can seduce him in a heartbeat. The hot, detailed images of them together feed his sexual fantasies. The best part? Mycroft doesn’t have to make a commitment to ‘Sterling’. No fuss, no muss. He can switch him off at any time. So why is he feeling unsatisfied?

Gregory Lestrade, known only to his internet romance as ‘Sterling’, is ready for the next step – to meet in person. He wants to make it real with the man whom he only knows as ‘Mallory’. Their virtual relationship has left him in a constantly aroused state, hungry for a taste of his lips and the touch of his skin. He wants to make love – all night long – to the man who’s captured his heart sight unseen.

Except, once Mycroft and ‘Sterling’ meet face-to-face, both are surprised at the outcome…

Reccer's comments: I admit that the story first caught my eye, because it was written for Unconventional Courtship challenge in which I also took part. More so, my story based on the same Harlequinn's summary. But I never expected to work so well with mystrade pairing. Yet, I read this story after a bunch of bad and worse fics I encountered while reaidng through Lestrade/Mycroft tag on AO3 and I have to admit I was amazed.

It has great characterisation, even if like me you fear that meeting online is for those two characters already out of characters, I suggest you try to read anyway. I honestly did not expect how well the author will write both Mycroft and Lestrade into this scenario.
It is a delicious read with the characters well described, hot scenes plenty hot and ending sweet and happy. Enjoy. :)
