    Summary

    Three weeks ago, Mycroft Holmes picked Lestrade up outside New Scotland Yard and made him an offer he'd been unable to refuse, despite his best judgement. Mycroft had sucked his cock, dropped him off at home, and Lestrade hadn't heard a word from him since.

    Now, the door of the black car swung open as Lestrade drew level with it. He could just see Mycroft's profile, hawkish nose and shallow chin limned by the orange glow of the streetlight.

    Summary

    "Afraid I'll embarrass you?" mocked Sherlock, looking up suddenly, his stare spearing Mycroft where he sat.

    Sherlock was too thin, too dirty - it was always a bad sign when he neglected personal hygiene - and he looked as if he hadn't slept for a week.

    "Oh, that ship sailed some years ago. You've been vocal enough about what you don't want. So tell me, brother dear, what is it you do want?"

    "You to leave me the fuck alone," said Sherlock venomously.

    Several heads turned. Mycroft ignored them. He took such incidents for granted when he was with Sherlock and had never cared what strangers thought - unless required to do so by his job.

    Summary

    “So I suppose you wear that ring for another reason, then.”
    Mycroft thinks ‘I wear it because it’s easier than an outright lie’, ‘it symbolises everything I’m not allowed to want’ or ‘it’s part of the disguise’ would likely ruin the companionable mood that’s taken months of effort to build between the two of them, so he opts for the simple and dismissive response.
    “Yes.”

     

    Or, in which Mycroft wishes that people would ask questions with simple answers, but with a certain Detective Inspector, the answer is never that easy. Except for when it is.

    Summary

    Maybe he thinks that you only enjoy his company because of the Work, because of the way his dazzling intellect shines when he's in his element, but the truth is this: it is when he is at his most human, most bare, that you feel closest to him.
