This is what happensThe train to take Mycroft home for the holidays is late. This is predictable, of course, but it doesn't stop him from being slightly irritated at the inability of certain people to organise the simplest things. He sits on his luggage and reaches for his book. The station is almost empty, now, with only a few younger boys remaing - who do not know him, but know of him, and enough not to attempt to engage in conversation - one or two older men, stockbrokers he assumes, and a young family arguing in the corner. None of whom seem to have noticed the only oddity, a small child across the other side of the platform, standing alone

I loved this, anon. I really, really did. And I absolutely loved how you presented it with all the what-if's and not's and your Mycroft was awesome and ooohhh that section with baby Jim was perfect.

Just found this! It is beautiful. I love little alien!Sherlock and Mycroft choosing him as his brother. And the Lestrade part was sad and made me glad it really didn't happen that way. (And the Jim part, of course, but that sort of goes without saying. o_O)

That was marvelous! I particularly liked the structure of the what did, and what did-not, and what might someday happen. And Mycroft's fascination with the impossible little boy, his distant kindness, was captivating.

Everything was perfect I especially loved the format - the contrasts. How I wished that you kept writing until John found out... Perhaps you will continue this universe? It seems very interesting...
A very beutiful story in reply to a great prompt! Well done
What an ethereal and whimsical touch this tale has. It certainly conveys that otherworldly point of view for the dark and the light equally. Just beautiful.
