    Summary

    Greg Lestrade is, probably, an alcoholic. His wife is cheating on him, his life is falling apart around him, and Mycroft Holmes is complicating matters considerably. After a case lands on his desk that turns out to not be his case after all, Greg finds himself pulled back into the orbit of a man he once did something costly for, something neither of them have ever addressed and something Greg had spent a long time trying not to examine too closely. He's not sure what's worse: the twelve years of silence, or the growing suspicion that Mycroft's been as aware of it as he has.

    Summary

    In 1957, widowed nurse Shelagh McIntosh arrives at Nonnatus House, looking forward to a fresh start for herself and her three-year-old daughter, Angela.
    Over the course of the next few years, she forges deep, lifelong friendships; falls in love with someone who understands her grief; and builds the family she always dreamed about but didn’t think would be possible.

    This is a story in which Shelagh is never a nun, never has tuberculosis, and doesn't arrive in Poplar until 1957.
