This one is cute and smutty.
As You Wish – The results of showing Mycroft ‘The Princess Bride’ are unexpected, but perhaps they shouldn’t be.

Some time in their second year of dating Greg discovered that Mycroft apparently had been avoiding the cinema for the last thirty years. “You’ve never seen Die Hard?”
Mycroft raised an eyebrow. They were settling in at Greg’s flat to watch a movie. “Is it important?”
Greg muttered something about ‘idiot Holmes’ and grabbed a few more DVDs. “What about these?”
“No.”
That started a tradition. Once a month or so Greg would make popcorn and they’d settle on his couch and they’d watch a movie. Some Mycroft would just roll his eyes at, but Greg could always tell when the reticent man was secretly enjoying himself. No matter what else was going on, Mycroft always managed to find time for their movies.
One rainy autumn afternoon, Greg put on The Princess Bride. Mycroft started with arms crossed, but by the end of it he was leaning forward, an elegant hand on Greg’s knee and completely neglecting his popcorn. Two nights later Greg found a copy of the book on his nightstand. Autographed.
