Sherlock Fic: Gravitational Resonance (Mycroft, one-shot)

( Mycroft Holmes recognizes that he possesses great power and complexity only because he is, at heart, very simple. He has accumulated a great many titles and positions, many of which will never be disclosed to the general public. But he has only ever truly been three things: a brother, a patriot, and a lover of poetry. There has never been time for anything else. )

This was gorgeous. Achingly so.

This piece is so contained and quiet. You capture the total exhaustion after a great drama is played out, how the players are so spent.

Your use of Henley works excellently for Mycroft. Having the brother's communicate through shared knowledge of his work gives us a deeper insight into their relationship.
