I'm glad Sherlock put it all together, maybe he can even get to give Mycroft a hug one day. I think he needs it.

Thank you for sharing this, it is beautiful!

Between you and me, I think he does, too. Thanks for reading.

Second person was a great choice for this. I think it makes the tension of waiting for Sherlock to realize that much worse.

I'm really glad it worked for you---I was very nervous about it, stylistically speaking. I wasn't altogether certain it would pan out.

Thanks for reading.

This was really well written. You really do a great job showing that Mycroft is more than what we see.

[kirstenlouise]

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. :)

Just another 'wow.' I'd pinned down their interfraternal issues as having to do with their father, but didn't think of anything this tragic. Now in my head, this supplements my previous thoughts with untold clarity. I'm nine tenths of the way to calling this the canonical solution to their feuds.

[kirstenlouise]

That is quite possibly the greatest compliment anyone has given me ever. I'm so glad that it worked for you. Thank you for reading. :)

Beautiful writing, vivid description. I love how all the little details fit in together, like Mycroft's over-protectiveness and weight issues. Well done.

Thank you for reading. I'm glad everything fit together for you.
