warning for torture, Mycroft!Whump

[anonymous]

After the 007 Plane Thing fails, Mycroft is in Very Big Trouble with his superiors (his "Masters" as Irene says). When he gets dumped on Sherlock's doorstep, bloodied and broken, Sherlock finally understands the seriousness of his accidental security breach.

this might end up horrifically long. Um. I'll get to the point of the prompt soon, promise.

Jumbo Jet. Dear me Mr Holmes, dear me.

If Mycroft Holmes' hands shake a little, at that, if his gaze drifts and becomes fixed on something beyond others' sight, it is because he allows it. If he runs his hands across his face and bows his head, well, it is because there is no harm in indulging in a minor lapse of control, not here alone, not now. It's unlikely, in any case, that he'll have the chance again. He might as well indulge.

There's some comfort to be found, he supposes, in how small his world has become with those words. So many concerns, immediate and future, swept aside. Only one left, really. The constant, the always-there, the one that matters.

In the end, are you really so obvious?"You have to call Mycroft," Sherlock declares, slumping on to the couch with absolutely no mercy for John's sense of personal space

Sherlock is seven and Mycroft is fifteen, and Sherlock is doing his homework. It's a minor miracle. Mycroft is yet to find any pattern in the tasks that will pique his interest enough to make him participate, but this one - something insipid about future career paths - has worked, and he's not going to question it. Sherlock shuts himself in his room and writes with enough enthusiasm to break two pencils ("I'll tell you how I knew that from your thumbnail," Mycroft says demurely, "if you eat your sprouts. Yes, all of them." Sherlock wrinkles his nose but does it, because Mycroft keeps his promises) before coming down to dinner. Mummy doesn't emerge from her bedroom at all tonight, so Mycroft makes do

This is so good so far - I can't wait to read the rest. Things are looking really ominous for poor Mycroft aren't they? :( Hopefully Sherlock's about to act like a good little brother for once

I love the suspense you are building up! I am really excited--probably not the best sentiment--to see where everything goes from here.

Sherlock is seven and Mycroft is fifteen, and Sherlock is burning his homework. Mycroft takes a pair of wrought-iron tongs and kneels to push a stray piece back into the flames, where it curls to ash. Like this he's almost face level with Sherlock, who is still standing there silently. "Done," Mycroft says. He knows better than to ask, or at least, knows better than to ask out loud

"This is all too delicious," the caller starts, a delighted nasal purr that sends John right back to fury and fear and helplessness in an empty swimming pool, red dots dancing. "You should have warned me. I could have bought popcorn

This story is addictive. Seriously - 4 parts in and I am hooked, I almost missed my bus because I was busy reading this XD Well, you get the picture - I love it.

The tid-bit into Mycroft and Sherlock's childhood was sweet, Sherlock was adorable and so was Mycroft, being a good big bro as ever.
I like how that is how Sherlock worked out something really was wrong and it just seems like something Mycroft would do, a nice private goodbye. Really touching (or at least I think so. Perhaps I'm odd)

I also like how Sherlock's not messing about this time and excepts the deal immediately. It's good to see that he's taking it seriously.

Can't wait to see what happens next of course, you really are doing spectacularly.
