This is a bit complicated to answer without getting into a lot of rather personal details, but as this is a blog and I try to provide what information I can, I’ll answer this to the best of my ability— or at least with as much information as I feel is needed.

The relationship between Sherlock and his older brother, Mycroft, is complicated at best. They’re both irritating observant but have their shortcomings, and both are just as capable of being insufferable in remarkable and almost inventive ways.

When Mycroft and I talk, one on one, it’s usually in settings where I’m treated as messenger or watch dog, and it’s more for the sake of him pandering to his own senses of decorum and tradition than any sort of friendly chit-chat. He often brings cases to Sherlock and myself that he seems to lack the interest to handle himself, and has come to often try to use me as a sort of via between himself and Sherlock.

That being said— he has told me a few things I found interesting. Childhood fancies in passing are always the best to me. Things about when Sherlock was young and interested and thirsty for knowledge (which is a lot like how he is now, only the idea of him as a child makes it considerably more charming). He has gaps in time when it comes to Sherlock in his teenage years, but still, when I get snippets about Sherlock as a child, it almost makes me dislike Mycroft a bit less.

For a few moments, anyway.

As for vice versa, I don’t really talk about myself with Mycroft. He has full access to my military training and background, and makes an annoying habit of deducing what he can from me every time I see him.

From some of my archives. Mrs. Hudson found us like this after a particularly long case— Sherlock passed out on me (for once), and I was entirely too tired and relaxed to really care. I could go on about it, how she made a big production over how we looked, how much I protested over the fact two grown men are anything but adorable, but…

I like it. This. Moments like this ground me, and I like them just as much as when we’re busy with work.

“Sherlock— I saw the reports. Half his skull was on the roof, there was blood everywhere. He’s dead.”

“You thought I was dead, and I came back. What makes you think he couldn’t do the same?”

It’s been mentioned to me a few times that I should get further into my life, and case work, with Sherlock and the regular irregulars that make up a lot of our every day lives. I’ll delve more into it now and then, thanks to a… considerable about of submitted pictures of the two of us (though I’m pretty sure the focus is always really the Sherlock Holmes).

Fair warning that some of these images are of a crime scene, and a gruesome one. The victim had been tied up, submitted to considerable torture, and dumped from a moving vehicle into an industrial area. Despite the amount of damage she sustained, a lot of the marks and clues on her were subtle and complex (foreign substances under her fingernails) to an alarmingly noteworthy cut-in brand on her hip. Ms. Hooper lent a hand as well, which was incredibly sweet and helpful of her to do.

The image at the end was submitted by an anonymous reader (thank you!) of the two of us, seemingly, on the way to the scene. I— Well, I guess we should be a bit less obvious, but neither one of us particularly care anymore. We’re a couple.

We found these while running around the city, between dealing with crime scenes, tracking down criminals, and staring at kittens in windows. I purchased them for us. Not only because I found them interesting and that I’m proud to wear my family crest, but that it’s another link between us.

Just another way to show we’re a match, that he’s mine, and I’m absolutely his.

My first reaction probably shouldn’t have been that I would absolutely ask her out if I had no idea she was another version of myself.

It also isn’t exactly fair that we all deal with dicks who seem to thrive on making our lives incredibly difficult. I’ve only had a brush with the whole thing, but I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen of them.

He uses it half seriously, but I’ve taken to doing my own experiments on him— such as his reaction to wearing his scarf.

John!

Oh that’s alright dear! I rather him have a productive project(Or case) where the flat isn’t being destroyed or the smell of whatever lab project stinking the place up.

I just got the smell of his last incident out the hallway now I think about it…

God, that smell. We recently had a few cases come in, but there’s another lull. I’m trying to distract him with other routes with… some success. I’ll give you fair warning if he starts to get too restless, Mrs. H.
