My little brother

I'm just saying, this is not how ppl usually talk to their siblings.

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.

“It might amuse you to know that my favourite song on [Madonna’s] other album was “Material Girl”.”

[…]

“Furthermore, it was the song playing in my head when I bought my first bespoke three-piece suit.”

Mycroft added, “And every suit I’ve bought since.”

I wish I could stop judging myself for the ships my brain feels the need to force onto me.

Why are antis always like "You guys are freaks! Platonic love exists. Don't you love your siblings?" but it's about the most homoerotic pairs of siblings to have ever existed.

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).
