Fics like For Fear of Greed

Mycroft has built a careful system of predictions to control the beast he calls Greed, always roiling in his chest, driving him to gather power, knowledge and (unfortunately) calories. By predicting what he's most likely to gain however, he can direct his desire towards them and not waste time striving for impossibilities. The system's worked for a decade, and he hasn't wanted anything badly enough to break it - until, that is, he's presented with a photograph of Gregory Lestrade and Greed crashes through his carefully erected barriers. To protect Greg from the beast, Mycroft must turn him into the most unattainable man in the country... by saving the man's crumbling marriage. Greg's satisfied with his lot. He works long hours, sure, but it's a worthwhile job. His wife's cheating on him, yeah, but honestly if he had a chance with Mr Perfect McRockHardAbs, he'd probably cheat too. And he likes the bed cold, anyway. He's never been the sort to step on other people's feet or push for something as silly as his own happiness. Besides, he's never wanted anything strongly enough to push - until, that is, he meets the infuriating Mycroft Holmes, who seems intent on doing nothing but brush him away.
