I really liked this.

Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed! Oh poor Mycroft.

I absolutely adore this. Mycroft's tactics seemed only logical, but of course, they'd create a strange aftertaste. Well done!

[brighteyed_jill]

Thanks! Yes, nothing untoward occurring here, move along, move along. *cough cough*

Oh, this is achingly well done. So much lives in the silence between them. The idea that they seem to be more honest/unguarded/in tune with each other when they're putting on an act for a third party's benefit is really wrenching. You capture both Mycroft's protectiveness and Sherlock's need/resentment of it beautifully.

You make my themes sound so eloquent! I love the way that the show plays with the silence/not speaking to each other aspect of their relationship, so I had to play with that. So glad you enjoyed.
