Abstract: We simplify and extend the construction of half-BPS solutions to 11-dimensional supergravity, with isometry superalgebra D(2,1;gamma) oplus D(2,1;gamma). Their space-time has the form AdS_3 x S^3 x S^3 warped over a Riemann surface Sigma. It describes near-horizon geometries of M2 branes ending on, or intersecting with, M5 branes along a common string. The general solution to the BPS equations is specified by a reduced set of data (gamma, h, G), where gamma is the real parameter of the isometry superalgebra, and h and G are functions on Sigma whose differential equations and regularity conditions depend only on the sign of gamma. The magnitude of gamma enters only through the map of h, G onto the supergravity fields, thereby promoting all solutions into families parametrized by |gamma|. By analyzing the regularity conditions for the supergravity fields, we prove two general theorems: (i) that the only solution with a 2-dimensional CFT dual is AdS_3 x S^3 x S^3 x R^2, modulo discrete identifications of the flat R^2, and (ii) that solutions with gamma < 0 cannot have more than one asymptotic higher-dimensional AdS region. We classify the allowed singularities of h and G near the boundary of Sigma, and identify four local solutions: asymptotic AdS_4/Z_2 or AdS_7' regions; highly-curved M5-branes; and a coordinate singularity called the "cap". By putting these "Lego" pieces together we recover all known global regular solutions with the above symmetry, including the self-dual strings on M5 for $gamma<0$, and the Janus solution for gamma > 0, but now promoted to families parametrized by |gamma|. We also construct exactly new regular solutions which are asymptotic to AdS_4/Z_2 for gamma < 0, and conjecture that they are a different superconformal limit of the self-dual string.
