For ~political reasons~, King Mycroft has his younger brother, Prince Sherlock, betrothed to a foreigner, Prince John. Sherlock is all, "How about nooooooooo" until he actually meets his husband-to-be.

The Engagement (2/?)thedeadparrotSeptember 23 2010, 03:23:29 UTC
"Now, now," Mycroft says, sipping his tea. "There's no reason to cause a scene." Sherlock only had to take one look at his delighted expression to know that (a) the news had been reporting the truth about the engagement, (b) Mycroft was very much behind it, and (c) Sherlock had been deliberately left out of the negotiations.
Sherlock hates Mycroft at the moment. "I hate you," Sherlock says. "I would shove you off the top of the London Eye if I could

I love you so much right now. This is setting up to be absolutely fantastic. I love your description of Mycroft, I love your Sherlock, the world you're creating is intriguing and I'm waiting with baited breath for more (especially for John's appearance--that should be epic). You seriously shouldn't be afraid to take credit for this because it's awesome. Can't wait for more. :)

After Mycroft bullies Sherlock into agreeing to at least meet Prince John before running away to America, Sherlock does what he does best when Mycroft bullies him into anything. He complains to Lestrade at length about how much he loathes his brother

The Watsons' flats are far more modest than Sherlock expected. In London, displays of status are almost worth as much as status itself. The Stuarts, for example, have decided build a zoo on the edges of their section of London, despite the fact that everyone knows that they don't have the funds, and the Smythe-Featheringtons like to throw elaborate dinner parties just so that they can give themselves the best seats at the table. Sherlock finds it vaguely ridiculous, but like many other things in London, it's something that is very important to understand

Sherlock is so very fascinated by the hidden parts of John's body that he almost forgets why he came here in the first place. Then John hands him the larger cup, filled to the brim with and Sherlock remembers. "Our families want us to get married," Sherlock says, though he finds stating the obvious incredibly irritating.
"I had noticed that, yes," John says. He takes a long sip of his tea and leans back against the counter. "What with the engagement and all."
"I think it's absurd," Sherlock says, "and that we should work together to convince them of this fact." He hates this whole part of 'diplomacy,' the deliberation, the politeness. If it were possible to make this whole thing go away without forcing Mycroft's hand, Sherlock would jump at the opportunity. But until Mycroft realizes how horrible this whole affair is, he will doggedly do everything in his power to make sure this wedding happens
