    Summary

    “Alright,” John says while dialling a number, “we’ll let the X-rays do the talking. It’ll be hard to convince Dr. Sullivan not to put you in a suicide recovery program, obviously, but at least we’ll see what your deranged mind thought was a good idea to swallow.”

    “I didn’t swallow it.”

    “Come again?”

    “I didn’t swallow it, I said.”

    Someone on the other end of the phone has answered, but John, who’s already covered the receiver with his hand, doesn’t seem interested anymore.

    The vacant stare and that gaping mouth Sherlock gets in response beg for comment.

    “Oh, John.” Sherlock tilts his head, a nervous, entirely wrong smile distorting his features. “Your deductive skills were never great, but a couple of years ago, you’d have figured it out right away. Have you really deteriorated this much in my absence?”

    Summary

    A reimagining of Sherlock's fireside panic attack - if Mycroft had made the journey out to Dartmoor and John had instead turned in for the night.

    ***

    When Mycroft arrived at the tavern in Dartmoor, he spotted Sherlock without effort, sitting in an armchair by the fire. Sherlock’s deliberate choice of warmth had already given him pause.

    On closer inspection, he could see the thinly veiled agitation in his brother. Palms together, they sat underneath his chin as if in prayer. Firelight caught in tear-bright eyes.

    Something was wrong.

    Summary

    “What did Greg tell you?” John inquired, handing Rosie the rattle to keep her busy. She took it gladly, giddily shaking it against her dad’s shoulder. John ignored her.

    Sherlock frowned. “Pardon?”

    “What did he tell you after you asked him how Mycroft was?” John repeated, offhandedly dodging the rattle aiming for his face.

    “That he was a bit shaken up.”

    “Right. And?”

    Sherlock paused, swallowing the sudden uneasiness settling on his chest. “He’s Mycroft,” he murmured, almost to himself. “He’s never shaken up.”

     

    Or: after the events of Sherringford, Mycroft locks himself in his office. Greg worries, and asks Sherlock to check on him. The brothers have a much-needed talk. Uncomfortable emotions ensue.
    Featuring: Greg Lestrade being an awesome boyfriend, Anthea being scarily good at her job, Rosie being adorable and John being bullied over his tea-making skills.
