Reccer's comments: I adore fics about chosen families, and this fic uses both an actual familial relationship (Lestrade and his daughter) and a network of extended "family" (ranging from John and Sherlock to Mrs. Hudson to Anthea to Donovan) to great effect. It's lovely to see them all come together around a common cause. Also, morganstuart does a capital job of showing John and Sherlock in a domestic situation with Lestrade's family while keeping them marvelously in character. Also, lots of people get to be heroic, which is always fun.


"I have a look," Sherlock informed John. After a beat, he thought to ask Sofie, "What is my look, exactly? Be precise."

"Hmmm… like music is playing in the background, even when it's quiet, and wind is blowing in your hair, even when you're indoors." Blinking at him over her phone, she added, "Like you should be wearing a cape. All the time."

Sherlock seemed inordinately pleased.
