Never Look Away

[axidentalquark]

So, this fic also fits this prompt over at the sherlockbbc_fic comm.  Moar MYCROFT/LESTRADE.  Oh yes.  It /happened/. ;D
Again with the bonus Sherlock/John pre-slash, because that also just sort of happens without me meaning it too, really, promise. ;D

Never Look Away

There were very few people in the world whom Mycroft Holmes cared enough

Thank you very much! ;D

I actually started out by reading Lestrade/Sherlock, but I had some problems with the mental balancing act of shipping Lestrade/Sherlock *and* Sherlock/John at once (well, true, OT3's exist for that reason ... ;D), but Sherlock/John sort of became a bit of an OTP, and then I though "MYCROFT! Why not?" And so a ship was born. (Hmm, that may be mixing metaphors. ;D)

Yes, protective!Mycroft is absolutely my favorite version of him. ;D

[axidentalquark]

;D Well, BBC!Mycroft and Lestrade own my heart, so yes, there will be more, and more protective!Mycroft, because he owns my heart, too. ;D

And yes, I have written more, but it's so fluffy it may kill you/make you puke ... ;D

Oh, I *love* Mycroft keeping track of everyone on hidden cameras - "only every few hours" while at work! And it's certainly convenient for him to be with Lestrade, just to make everything symmetrical. :-)

Thanks! ;D

Conversion achieved? ;D I am trying to get people /on this ship/ with my evil mad schemes. ;D

He /would/. You /know/ he would. Look, you're the British government and everyone in the world you care about is a danger-seeking idiot/just tends to do really stupid things, and OMG, are you /erally/ the only one with common sense??? WHY??? ;D Must ... keep ... watching ... ;D
(Also, Mycroft's totally a bit of a stalker. ;D)

[axidentalquark]

Thank you! ;D

Mycroft and Sherlock are really quite similar generally, aren't they? ;D (Except they would kill me if I said that, probably. ;D) Only Mycroft tends to be ... slightly more sublte, tactful, and socially competent. Also, Mycroft is WATCHING YOU. Sherlock just figures everything out from, like, your fingernails or something. ;D

[axidentalquark]

Thanks! ;D

Aww, I'm actually really totally easy for protective!Mycroft ... ;D

Mycroft WATCHES YOU. And WORRIES ABOUT YOU. CONSTANTLY. ;D Yes! ;D
(And, yeah, he is kind of cute, in a spiky, I-am-really-actually-a-bit-scary-honest-why-does-nobody-*see*-this way. ;D)

I want Lestrade/Mycroft. I don't know why, but it's awesome, as you've proved.

[axidentalquark]

Thanks! ;D

Conversion achieved? Yay! ;D This ship needs more ... sailors? (Ah, well, I know my metaphors have always sucked. ;D)
