Brothers to lovers-

No. Listen. Brothers and lovers.

They didn't stop being brothers. That isn't something one takes away.

They will always be brothers. And that's important. That matters.

Do you have a favorite iteration of Holmescest? 💕 I so rarely come across other people into this ship, I have to ask 😍

Oh what a fun question :D

It's not a very popular one for, well, pretty obvious reasons since a lot of people are mono-shippers and Holmes and Watson are a very firmly ingrained ship. XD

As for adaptations, I'd consider ourselves primarily fans of the ACD canon stories. In terms of adaptations, our favorites in terms of holmescest are definitely

the Frogware Holmes games: the relationship between Sherlock and Mycroft is a central narrative thread in the recent "Chapter One", and he comes up in a few of the other games.

the RDJ Holmes sequel, where Mycroft was played by Steven Fry.

There's also the imaginary secret version of Mycroft who so-far exists only in our head for future Great Ace Attorney fanfiction. Our TGAA Mycroft is so bored that he plays both sides, working both the government and the criminal underground, rubbing elbows with Moriarty, which significantly complicates his relationship with Sherlock! (Who often insists he doesn't have a brother).

Hahaha, oh dear. This was not two yrs ago. I have since descended into the fiery pits of hell. Canon dynamics my arse.

Still no underage/non con though, and I don't see that changing.

(Might or might not have updated one of my fics tonight.)

MYCROFT HOLMES: You’re in deep, Sherlock, deeper than you ever intended to be. Have you made a list?

HOLMES: Of what?

MYCROFT HOLMES: Everything. We will need a list.

(Taking a breath, Holmes takes a piece of paper from his pocket and holds it up.)

MYCROFT HOLMES: Good boy.

*Credit to arianedevere's TAB transcript, emphasis mine.

Sherlock imagining Mycroft calling him "Good boy" inside of his head.

It Had to Be You - Fem!Lock and Mycroft

[sarcasstic-jpmvr]

Saw someone do this thing where they posted the titles of their WIP‘s and then people could vote to read a small excerpt (or just like, the idea of the fic) so here we go

“FALLING “

Mycroft will always catch Sherlock

[tired-fandom-ndn]

I didn't like Sherlock as a show but damn, the holmescest community was off the charts. If Elementary had even a fraction of the freak shippers that Sherlock had, I'd be happy 😔
