This is such a wonderfully satisfying story. I loved everything about it (and can't believe I've only just discovered it now). It felt really well placed and gave someone with very little skiing experience (read: a tabogganing trip as a kid) a clear idea of the comfort and luxury of the ski lodges, the beauty of the view, and the more mundane realities of Greg's life working in the village.
I'm fond of a well written holiday fling (and disappointed that life doesn't follow the meet-cute rules of narratives, honestly) and I do love a good AU, and this hits both requirements. It's a lovely holiday romance, with a few very hot scenes, and the conclusion feels possible and well earned.
I also loved the Holmes in this, especially Sherlock who is both obnoxious and brilliant. You can clearly feel how much Mycroft cares for his family, and simultaneously how deeply infuriating he finds them (especially Sherlock, but certainly his mum too).
