I really liked the Scotch series by earlgreytea68. I think the stories can also be read as stand alones. AO3: http://archiveofourown.org/series/15348

Two nominations here

[birggitt.livejournal.com]

Scotch series, by earlgreytea68. This series has 17 stories and is a little over 100k in length,
It's truly delightful, a series of short stories set after TRF, and the relationship between Mycroft and Lestrade is built slowly, and, for moments, almost painfully. A 'must read' for those who love Mystrade.

And a classic! 'At Least There's The Football' series, by sheffiesharpe. Another long series, with 14 works and almost 200k in it. But I think we could discuss the first 4 stories (one by week) :D

Seconding the Scotch series. This was the very first Mystradd I ever read and it really sold me on the pair. It's been a long time since I read it, and I'd live a revisit.

Seconding both of these!

I'd like to nominate So Full of Light (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1397623/chapters/2929123) by Mydwynter. Such a great emotional story, and I really love the characterization here. 20k, 2 chapters.

Seconded! A lovely fic with great characterisation, as you say.

It really is a fantastic fic, yes.

The Sum Of Our Failings, by wintergrey

wintergrey (winterknight on LJ) has written one of my favorite stories in Sherlock fandom, a lovely romance that is also about confronting, and moving past, our disappointments with ourselves. I think you might have to be logged into AO3 in order to read it.

It's about 11.5k.

I definitely agree with the Scotch series and "At Least There's the Football."

I also nominate Mydwynter's "Memoranda of Understanding" series (two fics). It's an amazing series. He's working on the sequel right now, so by the time we discuss it, there might be part two up!
