221B Fill

[anonymous]

Mycroft Holmes isn't his job. But his job doesn't offer him much chance to be Mycroft Holmes. The British government cannot stop for the death of one man, and so Mycroft cannot.

The words of the article are meaningless, nothing registers, but Mycroft feels the tears gathering. He blinks rapidly to dispel them before folding and lowering the paper.

Exhale, he instructs himself. Compose yourself.

My fault. All my fault. If I hadn't told Moriarty, if I hadn't let him go…He hadn't been lying when he told Sherlock caring wasn't an advantage. But it had been blasphemy of the gravest kind to imply he wasn't guilty of it. Sherlock has always been his greatest weakness, and in trying to compensate for it, he's destroyed him

Oh I like this fill! Sorry I posted the fill below without seeing yours (there's a weird lag in posts actually appearing at the moment). I hope you don't mind.

Poor Mycroft :( I love the idea of him as his job and having to be someone else all the time on the outside
