Author's Notes: Written in response to JWP 2016 #5 (A False Moustache) on Watson's Woes.
Mycroft disliked disrupting his routine immensely.
He was a creature of habit, always had been. His lines of travel consisted of Pall Mall, the Diogenes, and Whitehall-in that specific order. And within those three spheres, he always wore his charcoal-gray suit, with his red-and-yellow pocket square.
So to don mourning blacks-to disturb his clothing routine for six months-was most irksome to him. Yet it served a purpose. Not only did this lie keep his brother's foes in the dark, but his friends--and family--safe.
Yet even his logical mind irrationally wished he could let Doctor Watson know that his own sartorial trappings of a brother-in-grief was merely a disguise.
