Use the quote: Mycroft has observed that all rich children want to be or be with the gardener's boy. It's all an artificial bid for freedom.

Is he talking about his brother's addiction to danger? Some pretentious git at a political party? His thoughts on being chained to his desk? Or something else entirely

It's up to you! Have fun!

I really tried to think about the metaphors, but all I picture is a young Lestrade as the gardener's boy. It's a happy place for me.

Hahaha Same here! I hope you don't mind sharing that happy place ;)

OP here

[anonymous]

Charecter development is really what makes me swoon. Anything that shows a little Mycroft movitation and thought processes would be good.

The gardener's son is back. Dressed as a waiter, he makes Mycroft's thoughts reel for a moment. An unwelcome feeling, a grain of sand disturbing a finely tuned mechanism

Wow, this is gorgeous! Your Mycroft is perfect, he would deny himself something he wanted but didn't think was "proper" but in my head he did go to Greg (it is Greg, right? if it's not, don't tell me ;)

“Young Master Mycroft,” he would say with mocking joviality.

Haha, Ah Mycroft, you're doomed. You don't *really* want to be the exception from the rule.

Great fill!

Thank you! Most definitely Greg in my head, my brain was full of Maurice!Rupert, but I didn't want to make it AU with no good reason and it works quite well without names.
