Mystrade Angst anonymous September 24 2011, 04:56:11 UTC
After spending the night at some office party for the Yard, Lestrade comes back to his and Mycroft's flat drunk as a lord and determined to make the night even more memorable with the aid of that fine man of his.

Unfortunately, that plan is sort of blown out of the water when Mycroft promptly freaks out as Lestrade attempts to come anywhere near him and leaves.

What happens next? What freaked Mycroft out so much? How does Lestrade fix it?
I have no idea, what are your thoughts?

No intention (or ability) to fill this prompt, but I have to say, my mind immediately went to Mycroft is freaked out because this is exactly how things went with Daddy Holmes: coming home drunk as a lord, expecting Mummy to make the night even more memorable, then turning nasty when she refused his advances and maybe even violent, and Mycroft as the elder son trying to step in and diffuse events.

Poor Mycroft, and poor Lestrade, come to that.

WARNINGS: Physical (and emotional in a way) child abuse, alcohol abuse

A/N: I really hope the previous anon doesn't mind. Your idea for this prompt and my own one somewhat melded. It really was a better spin on my Daddy!Holmes was a nasty drunk idea :)

Anyway - I hope you enjoy.

Greg knew the second he woke up alone on the sofa with a splitting headache to the shrill ring of his mobile, the even shriller lecturing of his Sergeant - that the day (or at the very least, the morning) was going to be, to put it frankly, a bitch.
As such, it only made sense for the front door to swing open with a painfully loud bang, and for the world's most annoying only consulting detective to stride inside, completely unannounced and uninvited mere moments after said awakening ( ... )

Sherlock's tone became more bitter by the syllable as he answered, "For father to finish with us. You see, the plan was - he works out his frustrations on us, and then they go and make up afterwards. As soon as mother left the room, you knew you were in trouble. He'd turn to you and grab your arm, real tight. Like this ( ... )

Oh, poor Mycroft and Sherlock, I'm glad they at least had each other, even if their relationship is rather difficult. And poor Lestrade just walked into that situation with no idea what so ever. Time for him to apologize.

Great start!

Oh, my.

The Holmes family: more dysfunctional than you could have imagined.

No, Sherlock didn't come off as misogynistic; bitter and resentful (and it's a tiny bit ironic, him calling anyone else 'unfeeling', but then again, that's as much a shell he's created around himself as really not caring about others) but not hating women as such. He dislikes his father just as much.

Really good and going places I never imagined!

Dear anon: I'm not the OP or anything, but I have to tell you:

THIS IS MY LIFE.

And it always helps me to think of it as an allergy, too.

I am amazed by this - so well done! Very emotionally effective - Sherlock manages to scare the hell out of Lestrade and make sure he doesn't make that mistake again; despite his outward dislike of Mycroft, it's obvious he cares for his brother and wants to protect him. I like Mycroft as the forgiving, uncomplaining child, and Sherlock as the angry fuck-you! child. Very glad for the happy ending...

"And you're his Greg. He loves you,"
That line is beautiful. XD
