There have been some great Mycroft pining after John fills, but I haven't seen many John pining after Mycroft ones. So let's have a bit of that! Cue moping in adorable sweaters? Maybe some Sherlock being exasperated by his flatmate's inexplicable feelings? Up to you!

I don't mind how it resolves itself as long as there is John/Mycroft at the end, please!

Why has this never occurred to me? After reading all these awesome Mycroft chasing John fics, why has it never occurred to me to want the opposite happen? And oh God, I can just imagine the look on Sherlock's face when he realizes that John is totally hot for Mycroft. So hilarious.

Usually I go the other way around, but I'd really love to see how someone does this.

His answer is too delayed, and Sherlock prods him and crows, “You’re lying!”

“If you poke me again, I’m going to kill you.”

“That wasn’t a poke, it was a tap. And who are you in love with ( ... )

OH GOD, I LOVE YOU ANON. Sherlock poking John in an effort to figure out his unusual behaviour was just brilliant! And poor John not wanting to move, and being too obvious, and having Sherlock breaking into his email account. Loved the interrogation technique and I confess I cackled at the “Sherlock, those aren’t the only women we know...” line XD

Thank you so much! I'm so excited that my prompt is getting filled and this part was such a great opener that I really can't express my love for you enough ♥

OMG THAT WAS FAST. AND THANKS. Apparently, even my attempted!angst has humour. It's sad, especially when I know I can write sad!John but he's not in the mood to be sad. I will introduce Mycroft soon. Soooon. xx <3

They’re on their way to a crime scene, and Sherlock is still muttering.

“I can’t believe you’re in love with Mycroft...”

John glared at him at first, and told Sherlock not to talk about it, ever, because he was dealing with this in his own way and he needed absolutely no help whatsoever. But Sherlock kept repeating that one phrase like a trauma victim, and he started finding it quite funny. Good to know he still has that black, gallows humour left over from his Army days.

“How many times have you said that now?” John asks him, grinning.

“37.” Sherlock says, frustrated. “And I still can’t believe it ( ... )

(OP again!) Yay, there's more! And oh, the things Lestrade has to deal with!

Sherlock, who is crouched next to him over the body, pokes John unexpectedly on the cheek with the severed hand he’s meant to be examining.

“He’s in love,” Sherlock says, disgustedly, at around the same time John yelps, “Sherlock! That’s disgusting!” and Lestrade chides wearily, “Sherlock. That’s evidence.” Such a brilliantly funny exchange XD

This was the best thing to start a day ever, I believe. Looking forward to the next part already! (Although I'm not greedy, so take whatever time you need!) Hee, I can't wait for Mycroft to turn up ;3; <3

*snerk* I never thought this prompt could be so funny, but it is and I love it. Poor, long-suffering Lestrade. :D

But when they get home, John discovers that the crime scene was the least of today’s troubles. Admittedly, Sherlock was texting languorously in the back of the cab on the way back to Baker Street, but he hadn’t really been paying all that much attention. He should have of course, especially when he walks into their flat and Mycroft is in his armchair ( ... )
