Very beautiful work! It was very interesting to read this from Mycroft's POV. :)

[frickangel]

Thank you very much. :) Glad you liked it!

Oh man, this is beautiful. I usually don't like Mycroft that much, but you've portrayed him here so gently and correctly. This a wonderfully constructed moment between these two characters and I take my hat off to you.

[frickangel]

Thanks!

You know what? I tend to cringe and go "Oh no.. no... no..." whenever a fanfic author portrays Mycroft as some evil/mean big brother. I really don't think he is and after all, we're seeing Mycroft from Sherlock's POV and honestly if we saw/met Sherlock from anyone else's POV, we'd probably hate Sherlock, too.

Haha... sorry, mini rant there. But am glad you liked it. ;)

Afraid to wait too long or type too much because I still don't trust LJ, but wanted to say I really enjoyed this.

Mycroft does have a heart, does love his brother, it's just very well hidden. And John... well John is John.

Thanks! Glad you liked it. :)
If you have anymore you'd like to add (constructive criticism is most welcomed) I'd be happy to hear it. Thanks again!

Such an interesting character study!

[frickangel]

Thanks! :)
BTW, is that an SGA icon you have there? Are those John Sheppard's elven ears I see? lol. Ignore me if it's not. XD

[londonsabre]

Yep those are Sheppard's elven ears! It's part of a gorgeous set of icons by anna_luna with Rodney and John as Calvin and Hobbes.

[frickangel]

Heeeheee... it's definitely obvious who'd be Calvin and who'd be Hobbes. Though it tickles me greatly that Sheppard is a stuffed tiger that's a figment of Rodney's highly intelligent mind.

Woosley and Elizabeth would've made awesome parents to them boys. XD

Lovely fic! I like Mycroft's train of thoughts and how you interpret his difficult relationship with Sherlock. But I especially like what John says!!! :) Awesome John!!! *___*

[frickangel]

Thank you. :)
I'm glad for great characterisation by Benedict and Martin and also the writers of 'Sherlock'... makes it super wonderful to write for.
