Sherlock managed to piss off a witch and her curse hit Greg instead of Sherlock so he turned into a goldfish. Mycroft and Anthea stay with Greg while Sherlock and John go on an adventure to figure out how to break the curse lol

The Source
Tumblr media
Sally Donovan is the outspoken, ballsy, youngest-ever editor of the UK's only left-leaning tabloid, The Yardstick. Anthea Doyle is the ex-activist Labour Home Secretary who's just ruined her reputation with a string of Tory-light policies in the run up to an election. Worse, Anthea's permanent secretary, Mycroft, has suddenly become extremely loose-lipped around Sally's star reporter, Greg. Now Sally's out for blood, Anthea's staring down the barrel of a reshuffle, and both of them are about to discover that first impressions are often misleading.

Question for Anthea. How do you deal with your stress and still have not fired. We all need to know this especially at this time
I’m an excellent PA.
I may get fired within the upcoming 72 hours though. It all depends on my boss’ reaction to what I’ve done (which he will never find out if @di-greglestrade decides not to disclose what I’ve sent him).
- The best PA, Anthea

This is fun headcanon that I like to think about to ignore eurus existence. The "secret sister" that Sherlock and Mycroft have is Anthea. After how many years by Mycroft side, she is like family to them or just protective or whatever Holmes version of sibling love is.
ASDFADSFASD Yes. I like this reality.
Headcanon accepted hahahah
PERFECT.

Mythea, 3, gold
This was also an answer to the 30 Day Writing Challenge, which gave us the title for the story. The prompt this request gave me was "Close the door behind you."
Promises Made, Promises Kept - Anthea extracts a favor from her husband for her help, leading him to think about the start of their whirlwind relationship that was years in the making.
READ @ AO3
"Close the door behind you."
Anthea did as she was told, walking into Mycroft’s office and sitting on the edge of his desk next to him. “Long day ahead?” she asked, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder.
“The Americans,” he said, placing his elbows on his desk and putting his head in his hands.
“No further explanation needed,” she said. “Representative Occasio-Cortez’s visit?”
“Yes, but she’s the least of the problems. It’s the three other people coming with her and their entourage.” He sighed and then looked up at Anthea. His assistant, his lover, his wife. He didn’t know what he would do without her. “If you take care of them I will buy you the gold earrings you had your eye on at Harrod’s.”
“I already bought them,” she said with a smile, then leaned over and kissed his forehead. “Make me puttanesca tonight and I’ll solve your problems for you.”
“Deal,” he said, reaching over for her hand and kissing the back of it. She smiled wider then got off his desk and made her way to her own area of the office, on the other side of the door. He leaned back in his seat, wondering if they had all the ingredients for puttanesca, before glancing to one of the many photographs littering his desk.
Strange, what one encounter with a homicidal sister will do to a man.
Lestrade had not left his side until Anthea arrived at his home, and he was a smart enough man to realize there were Things Unsaid between himself and his assistant. Lestrade gave her a rundown of tings he might need that evening, starting with some more brandy, and then he left, wishing Mycroft good luck.
Sherlock may have had doubts about Lestrade’s level of intelligence, but Mycroft knew the man was smarter than he seemed, at least when it came to human nature.
Anthea had waited until Lestrade was gone and poured herself a snifter of brandy, topped off Mycroft’s, and then put the decanter back, almost dropping it from how much her hands were shaking. He’d have given anything to keep the fear at bay, even if it had cost him a decanter of brandy, but after a sip she launched herself at him, holding him close.
Of course, the private feed into Sherrinford.
There was the private feed into his office. After the bomb, she must have figured it out and watched it. She had seen everything with her own eyes and knew exactly how close she had come to losing him. And when embraces became heated kisses and two snifters of brandy were spilled on the floor while they tried to find suitable space to show each other the things they had never had the bollocks to say out loud, things had changed.
It was impossible to hide their relationship, and he hadn’t wanted to. Fortunately, the Home Office felt it was in the country’s best interest for them to continue their professional relationship in addition to their new personal one, so he didn’t have to get a new assistant. Which helped matters when Anthea found out she was pregnant eight weeks after their first session of lovemaking on the desk in his study. A quick marriage later and he had to admit, he was blissfully happy.
There was a photograph from the wedding in Hawaii, the sonogram of the little boy they were having, photos of Sherlock and Dr. Hooper, who had had a similar conversation in the aftermath, it seemed. Photos of his parents and strangely enough, one of Eurus. Despite her actions, the results were favorable, and while she no longer verbalized things, it was a comfort to know she had gotten what she had wanted: her family back.
But the one that caught him the most was one of Anthea in her wedding dress, long-sleeved white and gold lace over a tight bodice and loose skirt. She was breathtaking in that photograph, wearing a lei of white orchids given to her by one of the members of the extended family who had attended, he forgot who. She was stunning, as she always would be. He turned away from the photographs to start ordering the ingredients for puttanesca to be delivered to his home, as he had made a promise to make it, and all promises, no matter how small, should be kept.
And if that meant cooking tonight to make his wife happy, so be it.

Some thoughts on their SHERLOCK verse!
All four kids have extra middle names— Elijah Ethan Scott, Dominic Alexander Castor, William Christopher Pollux, and Penelope Ophelia Enola Violet— because Mycroft is pretentious and a sap who wanted to name his children after his family members, and in the case of the twins, himself.
Elijah looks very similar to Sherlock, to the point that one can be confused for the other from behind or far away. Mycroft will sometimes call one when he means the other. (This, of course, makes Eli’s eventual descent into addiction even worse.)
They see Anthea, Sherlock, and John as parental figures, and each child gets some of the Holmes family talents. Elijah gets the skill for reading people, Dominic gets the propensity for music (all of them do, but Dominic especially), Will gets the theatrical side, and Penelope gets the knack for science and martial arts.
If Sherlock or Mycroft does not let the kids in on the Reichenbach plan, it destroys them and sets the self-destruction in motion much sooner.

Hello, I'd like to ask something.
My brother and I were fighting and he told me to stop attacking him with words.
The question is,
should I use knifes or guns instead?
Sincerely,
JE.
Mr. Holmes is currently unavailable. Please don’t try again at a later time.
- Anthea
