Title: Tardy
Fandom: Sherlock (Mycroft/Lestrade)
Round #70 – Amnesty Week: Written for 51: Shakespeare II: "For which of my bad parts didst thou first fall in love with me?"
Rating: G
Notes: It has been so long since I tried to write a drabble. It's ridiculous how hard it is to keep it down to 100 words.

Gregory Lestrade is a terrible timekeeper. He's fifteen minutes late to everything. If someone sneaks in late to the department-wide meeting, slouching up the back and hiding from the Commissioner, it's Gregory.

When Gregory ends the stalemate of appreciative glances and asks him to dinner, Mycroft knows he will be late without meaning anything by it. It's simply who he is.

Mycroft walks into the restaurant at precisely 8pm, because punctuality is as much a part of his character as tardiness is part of Gregory's. He's unexpectedly pleased to find Gregory already sitting at a table, toying with a breadstick.

Title: Bad Motherboard
Fandom: The Three Body Problem (Liu Cixin)
Challenge: Prompt: #051 - Shakespeare II
Characters: Von Neumann, Qin Shi Huang, Wang Miao
Rating: G
Notes: During the tri-solar-syzygy

“Of course! The computer! We can make the motherboard with electronic elements!” Von Neumann shouted as he drifted by.

Qin Shi Huang shouted back, “Westerners always think you know best. What about this failure, then? You said you could predict the next two years.”

Wang said, “Look out! You’ll be crushed!” He gripped the telescope as it floated up, dodging black stones. Above him three suns shone hard and blistering.

“Does it matter? We’re falling up into the void,” replied Qin. “Into the bright eye of disaster.”

“But next time,” Von Neumann breathed, subtitles dancing below him. “We’ll do better.”

Title: Spite it For My Sake
Fandom: The Strain (TV Series)
Challenge: Prompt: #051 - Shakespeare II
Characters: Dr. Ephraim "Eph" Goodweather, Dr. Nora Martinez
Rating: PG-13
Notes: Spoilers for the end of Season 3

“Seriously, Eph,” Nora whispers to him in the night, just another ghost in the apocalypse. “You know Zach did this.”

He flings the empty bottle across the room. “Shut up! It’s not his fault; he just misses his mom.”

Nora continues, inside his ear, a white worm turning and slithering in the canal. “He set off a nuclear bomb. His mom died a long time ago. All of our moms did.” She’s angry. Frustrated.

“Nora, I can’t … he’s my son,” he protests weakly, his fingers scrabbling for another bottle. “I love him. Even the … even the bad parts.”
