This is definitely a sequel to A Reliable Man, but I think it stands alone and you don't need to read Reliable to read this. Just a little slice of life as two men get more comfortable with each other.

Summary: Lestrade is back at work, and a routine bit of legwork turns dangerous. For once it is only marginally Mycroft Holmes's fault. What happens later, well that's different. Very different. Very different indeed.

This stars Mycroft's Umbrella, first met in It's Not About The Rain and while I don't think you need to read that first, it won't hurt.
