Length: Medium
Status: Completed
Follows Mycroft Holmes from the age of seven up to the time of the series. Dark and sad.
Basically just Mycroft desperately trying to be a decent human being and a good brother - and often failing miserably.
AO3
This has got one of the most chilling scenes starring Sherlock and Mycroft when Mycroft contemplates killing his brother. It's something I remember most vividly. There are few scenes that stuck with one and this is one of those.
The sequel is nice but Mycroft got somewhat sappy. The first half is very good, though.
