Another commission from the absolutely amazing shootbadcabbies, who was incredibly sweet and had this ready for my birthday. I adore shootbadcabbies and I am in love with Mycroft helping Sherlock blow out his candles.

Let’s Draw Sherlock - December Challenge: Gift giving!
I’m quite early this time :)
I want you to write a fic about Mycroft feeling way too much for his brother than what's morally okay, but Sherlock doesn't feel that way and Mycroft knows he can never let Sherlock know so he struggles to keep this secret away from both of them
I will sometime read fics on this topic, but I’m not sure I could write them. I can vaguely remember a couple, one of them incredibly well written, but I’ll be damned if I can remember now what it was called.
I’ll throw this out to the masses, maybe they have some they can rec to you.
happy new year from some moody holmes bros!
(really hoping this season we’ll discover the source of their mutual prickliness)

are you two smoking?
“I’ll bring you home, little brother…”
So The Abominable Bride had a lot of brotherly feels and inspired me to draw this series - 3 times Mycroft carried Sherlock, I might call it? I indulged in cuteness, angst, and some punk in between! Was gonna pair each scene with a ficlet, to sorta explain my derived headcanons, but I’ll just leave the visual details to your own imaginings!

“Don’t look at them, John.”
“Why?”
“Because… they’re Holmes.”
**Edit**
-SEQUEL-
Base on my 100% imagination:
Sherlock and John met each other for the first time at Hogwarts. Mycroft is a Slytherin prefect. Harry is a Gryffindor student. Sherlock and John have’nt been sorted yet.
Hope you enjoy this one!

The conversation that Sherlock and Karim are having in this scene is amazing and I didn’t pick up on it until tonight. Sherlock: Mr. Baker, that completes the set. Karim: No, it does not. Sherlock: Well, who else am I missing? Karim: Master Bun, it’s not a set without him. How many more times Mr.Sherlock? Mr.Baker is Sherlock, and Master Bun is John. This is a conversation about how they aren’t complete without each other. Karim saying ‘How many more times?’ is directly referencing all of the times they’ve been separated. How many more times before they get it right and figure out they are a pair and need to stay together?
They are playing Happy Families here:

The conversation in that scene continues:
Hmm, maybe it’s because I’m not familiar with the concept.
What concept?
Happy families. This is foreshadowing what we will learn in TFP about Sherlock and Mycroft.
the games always reflect the theme of the series. cluedo (it was the victim), operation (can’t handle a broken heart), and now happy families (not familiar with the concept)
#OhWhatABeautifulMorning
Sherlock tweets this in first few moments of TST .
“Oh What A Beautiful Morning” are the first 5 words in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic love story musical….
OKLAHOMA!
Hello shoutout to camp gay parody (masterpiece) “Oklahomo”!!
Tagging folks who might enjoy :)
😂 😂 😂
Also, maybe a call back to that weird comment in HLV, about the Holmes parents going line-dancing in Oklahoma. There is a weird American thread running through the Holmes boy’s childhood.
Mycroft fans: if you’re not following Whitehall Edits on twitter, you’re missing out.
It looks like someone fixed a coding error on the noot noot citation. It WOULD be so like Sherlock to go around making sloppy wiki edits knowing that Mycroft would have to fix them (much like the door knocker) as he stalked Sherlock’s online activities.
The Holmes Brothers: the greatest wiki editing trash tag team the world has ever seen
Can’t believe my shitpost is basically canon
Sherlock wrote a fucking fix-it fic for a story he didn’t like I love it.
This was one of my favourite new pieces of info about Sherlock we got in this episode, because it was already a personal headcanon. Sherlock writes his own fanfic, bless him!
