The question of Incest Alley is a fraught one as well as what's taking place between them isn't conventionally sexual, isn't derived from attraction or even especially from affection, and Mycroft's "sex life" such as it is exists elsewhere. I think from HIS SIDE at least envy pretty much defines his interest in (such as it is) Sherlock; some of it spills over into the physical; as to Sherlock he has needs he'd rather he didn't have and only trusts one person to make the nagging itch go away so that he can get on with more important things. Or at least that's how I view it. The only person Sherlock loves is John; but possibly because he feels that way about him, he refuses to involve him in this.

isn't conventionally sexual

UNDERSTATEMENT.

I like your explains. Though I never really thought Sherlock didn't love Mycroft, on some level, even though neither of them very much... like each other?

SHUSH YOU.

Though I never really thought Sherlock didn't love Mycroft, on some level, even though neither of them very much... like each other?

I think loving John... that is a CHOICE he has made. Mycroft has just always been there. So it's not that he loves him so much as recognises him; Mycroft is his constant, something that can be relied upon to always be the same, even if that consistent characteristic is something that makes him want to throw shoes. ;)

I love Sherlock's "oh he's still angry then" text about John's limping, it is perfeeect.

"Oh and you just do what he tells you all the time, I suppose?" John spluttered, cradling his left hand with his right. "When have you ever done what he wanted you to?"

More often than I've done what I wanted to, Mycroft thought huffily, but he said nothing.

MYCROOOOFT

I don't really know how to adequately explain how torn I am between this is quite attractive and jesus christ boys you are so fucked up no D:. SO BOTH OF THOSE.

Also no one will ever write Mycroft POV I enjoy. I mean, not that that was likely to happen anyway, but you have definitely cornered the Mycroft market, I consider basically all this canon backstory now. YEP.

[apiphile]

Hah I didn't even get "attractive" while writing it, this is all just PHENOMENALLY UNCOMFORTABLE.

I consider basically all this canon backstory now.

VICTORY

[swear_jar]

NOPE. BOTH. [/bad person].

ALL YOUR MYCROFT THOUGHTS ARE IN MY BRAIN NOW. Holmesception.

[apiphile]

DISGUSTING. DISGUSTING. THERE IS NOTHING HOT ABOUT THIS.

Read this earlier today at work (again). Love love love, ngk. I'd sit here and talk in your general direction about how you've sort of managed to shape my entire Mycroft headcanon, but I'm so tired I can't words and herp a derp I love you and I love Mycroft and I love this series *pets it like a precious if vaguely worrying kitty cat*

[apiphile]

The kind of kitty cat that tries to take your skin off. Mycroft has ruined my stomach. (Well, it's kind of gone to hell in tandem with this...)

<3

I AM PROUD TO BE YOUR CANON.

[stratospherique]

BUTTFACE I LOVE YOU AND YOUR MYCROFT AND YOUR SHERLOCK AND JOHN AND THE RULER FINALLY MAKES ITS DEBUT APPEARANCE

you are an irredeemable pervert and you are the best butt.

I AM JUST VERY MUCH IN FAVOUR OF THEIR SEX BEING TOTALLY WEIRD AND NOT ACTUALLY SEX

[morecake]

Yep, definitely canon now.

Although - "At 3pm his phone vibrated discretely" - itym 'discreetly'.

[apiphile]

God's flaccid COCK, I always get those two mixed up. (This has had about all the beta-ing that everything else I post does: none. So if there's only ONE mistake...).
