Happy Chanukah, everyone! This fic is part of my Jewish!Lestrade series, but more or less stands on its own, I think. If you're following along, this story takes place after the last part of Four Times Sherlock and Lestrade Danced Without Touching (and one time they did), "Midnight," and refers to the first part of that story, "Sea Wrack."

This one is for

thesmallhobbit and

myownprivatesfc.

This is a belated birthday fic for

Title: Summer Cold
Pairing: Sherlock/Lestrade (pre-series, established relationship)
Rating: G
Word count: 1449
Disclaimer: not mine, no profit

a/n: This story is part of the Jewish!Lestrade series, but you don't need to have read the other parts of the series to understand it. Just know that pre-series, Sherlock and Lestrade have an on-again-off-again relationship.

If you are keeping track, this story comes after On the Doorposts of Your Houseand Sea Wrack, the first part of "Four Times Sherlock and Lestrade Danced Together without Touching (and one time they did)," but before The Most Pious Jew in the RAF, the second part of that fic.

Summary: How long could they go on like this?

Summer Cold

I try to post a fic on my birthday (though I didn't manage it last year). This year I'll be out of town, so I'm posting this now: the final chapter of a fic I started in Dec. 2011. (yes, that's 15 mos. to write a little over 10k).

I'm not entirely satisfied with this as an ending, but I figure if I don't post it, I may not finish the story 'til 2014. If I get inspired, I'll put together the playlist for the fic at some point.

Midnight (on AO3)

In case you haven't already guessed, this was always meant to be a Simchat Torah story. I've missed posting on that holiday two years in a row, but hope it will count now for the fourth and fifth nights of Hanukah.

Four Times Sherlock and Lestrade Danced Together Without Touching: Rejoice

“You won’t like it," said Lestrade. "It’s a bunch of old men. First they pray, then they drink. And dance. There’s a lot of dancing.”

“I know perfectly well what Simchat Torah is,” Sherlock said pedantically. “You come to the end of the five books of the Torah and you begin again. Jews rejoice that God has given them the sacred books, so they dance. I didn’t know about the drinking. That sounds fascinating. You know how curious I am about the more atavistic religious rituals.”

Happy third night of Hanukah!

Taking up this series again--hoping to finish it this week!

This chapter is a little angsty, but things will get better, I promise!

Four Times Sherlock and Lestrade Danced Without touching: Gala

Summary: The next time there was dancing they quarreled. The quarrel was mostly silent, and took place almost entirely inside Lestrade’s head. But it was a quarrel nonetheless.

I seem to have hit a patch of work/life busyness. So much busyness I don't have time to participate in

mad_server's wonderful Again, but with More Colds meme, or my most favorite thing, the Five Acts Meme going on this week. :( Too busy to have watched the latest episodes of Downton Abbey, Person of Interest or Homeland yet. :( :(

I got no sleep over the weekend and I'm sitting here trying to convince myself that going running will make me feel less like crap.

BUT--there are some lovely things!

The talented and generous

twasadark recorded a podfic of my Jewish!Lestrade series for the Fall Fandom Free-For-All. I've never been podfic'd before, and I'm tickled pink! She does an absolutely lovely job with it, and it's a wild experience to listen to someone else reading your own words aloud.

Here's the link -- thank you, bb!

Word count: ~3.1K
Disclaimer: not mine, no profit
a/n: for

innie_darling’s request at

oxoniensis’s fall fandom free-for-all . Hope you enjoy, bb –it’s more dirty talk and schmoop than porn, I’m afraid.

Summary: “You know.” Donovan grinned. “Three continents, two sexes, one extremely talented—“

I have no idea why this ended up so long—it really is just a comment fic at heart.

Title: Reciprocity

Rating: PG (gen)
Genre: h/c
Word count: ~4.5K
Disclaimer: not mine, no profit.
a/n: written for this prompt at Running Hot: Feverish Lestrade on a case, attempting to tough it out and refusing to admit he's ill, and Sherlock being the one to notice and forcibly escort him home..
a/n: Although this is, in its weird way, Sherlock/Lestrade, it has nothing to do with any of the other flavors of Sherlock/Lestrade I have going.

Summary: Lestrade is ill. John is bossy. And Sherlock is not quite as heartless as he means to be.

Title: Certain Events in Lambeth
Rating: nc-17
Pairing: Sherlock/Lestrade
Genre: pre-series
Warning: non-con, of the aliens-made-them-do-it variety, except with no aliens.
Word Count: ~2.5K
Disclaimer: Not mine, no profit.

a/n: written for

brighteyed_jill for the 5 Acts Meme: Round Four. The act was: non-con.
a/n: not part of my Sherlock/Jewish!Lestrade series.

Summary: While Lestrade was working his way up through the ranks he pulled a few hard years in Narcotics. That time had included three stints undercover. He hadn’t liked them much, but he’d gotten the job done all the same. He’d grown his hair out a bit, worn clothes that let his muscles and his service tattoo show, ratcheted up his accent and kept his eyes dead. Only once did anyone ever come close to making him as a copper.

I meant to get this out before Passover...But better late than never, I hope!

Title: This Different Night
Pairing: Sherlock/Lestrade
Rating: pg
Warnings/spoilers: Set in a vague near future, but no spoilers for the series, though I’ve borrowed a line from Study in Pink. Please note that I do not share Sherlock’s lack of reverence for the traditions of Passover.
Disclaimer: not mine, no profit.

a/n: This is a continuation of a series of short fics begun for

purimgifts. The original prompt for a Jewish Lestrade came from

Title (for the series): Thy going out and thy coming in.
Rating: from PG to NC-17
Pairing: Sherlock/Lestrade
Warnings: religion-bending, kinda.
Word count: ~3K total
Disclaimer: not mine, no profit.

a/n: written for

purimgifts. The recipient suggested Lestrade as a French Jew whose family immigrated to England sometime in the late-19th to mid-20th century. Originally posted anonymously at AO3, as a series, here. The exchange called for 3 fics, 300-1000 words long, about 1) characters who are Jewish and/or 2)characters who are women and/or 3) characters who are persecuted by evil viziers (as per the Megillah).
a/n: my thanks, once again, to the kind people at

sh_britglish. All remaining idiom fail my own.
a/n: title from Psalm 121.

Summary: “Hmm.” Sherlock slumped against Lestrade’s doorway, and drew a tapered finger along the one unusual item there.
