Sacrifices (3/4)

Nov 04, 2010 10:46

BBC Sherlock

Rating 15: high angst levels, slash, really not-good Sherlock

Spoilers: none

Previous parts at marysutherland.livejournal.com/6271.html and marysutherland.livejournal.com/6527.htm

Summary: Mycroft knows grownups don't die of love. Which is probably just as well, now Sherlock has managed to break up his engagement to John.

( The one camera he'd been allowed inside 221B covers the front door and part of the kitchen, as the two most likely danger zones. Mycroft manages to hold out until the afternoon, but then he can't help himself watching the silent, slightly grainy images obsessively )

slash, hurt, sid paget, mycroft's pov, blame jeremy bentham

Arrrrrrggggghh! Bentham, you bastard! *shakes fist*

Absolutely heartbreaking! And beautifully written! But if Mycroft doesn't gat some solace soon I'm going round to UCL to have words with Mr B in person....

Bentham's corpse does actually get a mention in the last part anyhow. (Obviously not a walk-on role, because that's only for fresh body parts).

Bentham's body needs more fanfic love!! Wait...maybe not...

I am _so_ loving this!

I suppose he could be paired with Lindow Man...

painfully good, like the rest of this series. poor Mycroft.

mourning someone who's not dead is a very particular kind of misery which you catch beautifully.

like the arthouse surveillance, and Mummy's unexpected reaction.

counting on you for the promised resolution.

High angst levels indeed! You write Mycroft's pain exquisitely.
I hope things get better for him soon...

Poor Mycroft. And poor John, too. I see so many ways that this could end so very badly, but I'll wish for a happy ending anyway.

I can't even... Ugh damn Sherlock, damn him!!! I must confess that when I read that he and John kissed at the beginning of this part, I almost threw my NDS (on which I'm reading) to the wall. It's not fair, S/J is my absolute OTP but in this fic I hate it so much!! Poor Mycroft, he needs to elope with John, come to Mexico and live the rest of their lives happily, sunbathing on the sands of a Caribbean beach. Sherlock can go to hell or OD, whatever. x( Oh god I love this fic, it's wonderful! :)
