Really nice! I enjoyed this a lot, and it's kind of settling into my brain as personal canon for the two of them.

This is very good. I like the way you string words together, your take on both Mycroft and Sherlock, and your assessment of their feud.

I've already forgotten how I found this fic, but I really really like it. I've been craving good Sherlock gen since watching the new season, especially stories that take a good hard look at Mycroft, and this is just what I needed. I especially like your description of Sherlock at the beginning:

Sherlock is this moth caught in the light of his own intellect, beating wild, gossamer, rice-paper wings against the things that hold him in place, changeling child, falling angel desperate not to be a rising ape. Yearning to plunge headlong, singing joy and defiance, into the flame.

--because that's just beautiful.
