Fic: With Patience He Stands Waiting by emungere
Title: With Patience He Stands Waiting
Author: emungere
Pairing: Mycroft/Moriarty
Length: 6918
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: Rough Sex, blood, implied off-screen torture
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: Shortly after the Irene Adler business, Mycroft invites James Moriarty in for a chat. He sends four of his best, and he sends Anthea. That is as personal as his attention gets towards people in Moriarty's position.
Reccer's comments: How Mycroft is manipulated by Moriarty. A love story, of sorts, between two people who are cynical, and manipulative and it’s everything I want from this sort of pairing.
Moriarty's charm is seductive, and the way emungere portrays the open manipulation between the two of them. They both know what’s going on yet can’t seem to help themselves. The way Mycroft links Moriarty and Sherlock in his head is heartbreaking and wonderful. One of my ultimate favourites.

"Maybe," Moriarty murmurs, "you should've tried this first. Maybe you could've kept me as a pet. Your tiger on a leash. I know you've thought about it. You might've been good enough. Why didn't you try?"
The last question is accompanied by an almost wistful expression and a hand around his neck. Moriarty doesn't squeeze, not yet, but the threat is literally palpable. Mycroft swallows and feels his throat move against Moriarty's palm.
"Because if I had succeeded, I would eventually come to believe you were safe, and you will never be safe."
