#literally a cop dumped a body in a suitcase on my corner

[ctommyisnt]

Me in any other city no matter how nice: I am constantly vigilante. Danger lurks on every corner. Any moment I may be snatched off the streets I must remain focused on the highest level.

Me in my VERY DANGEROUS neighborhood where people get shot and/or kidnapped on the regular: la de da for da man I’m so distracted teehee! Oh I’m gonna look at my phone surely nobody will do anything while I have my guard down

Can you do a mycroft x reader were sherlock deduces that the reader is in an abusive relationship and then mycroft comforts her

You need to talk to her. -SH

Mycroft squints at the tiny screen of his cell phone, it’s light the only source of light in the darkness of the car’s cabin as he makes his long journey home from the airport.

Brother dear could you be a little less vague? -MH he types hoping that Sherlock will elaborate on who ‘she’ is but gets a very terse text back.

Playing stupid is not attractive brother mine. -SH

Rubbing his face tiredly Mycroft wonders if he should just call Sherlock to demand details but even he knows that Sherlock would sooner hangup than give up texting.

Please Sherlock its two in the morning could you just cut the crap and get on with it? -MH

There’s a pause and Mycroft wonders if Sherlock has decided to force him to figure it out at such an ungodly hour when a series of novel like texts hit his inbox.

Within the last three point six weeks you’ve been aboard ______’s toxic friend Amanda has decided to be a manipulative narcissistic pissant by selling her notion that she’s oppressing her very being just be existing. -SH

Going on about having “straight passing privilege” because ____ is bisexual and that if she was truly a feminist and wanted to ‘take down the patriarchy’ she would that privilege to help her voice be heard. -SH

Not that Amanda would do more than screech on about how no one in the community wants to shag her because of her body when anyone with a brain can see that its her horrible attitude and opinions on anyone not born with a vagina are what keeps her from having any true- [1/5]

relationships and that her God complex (God can only know where she gets that from, perhaps being bullied as a child or the constant victim mentally she found when she entered uni). Honestly, I cannot understand why ____ keeps her company. No friend from primary is worth all this drama no matter if their mothers were[2/5]

friends in uni. John, Molly, and I have tried to talk sense into ____ to drop Amanda like the 14 stone we all know she weighs just to save her sanity but but _____ refuses. She swears that true friends stick together and keeps allowing herself to be Amanda’s punching bag for the sake of their friendship and to be a “good” ally to the community[3/5]

which is stupid as the community already has a bias against her for the before mentioned “straight privilege” that she supposedly has along with her good health (I’ve already researched for more sane communities for her to meet up with that aren’t trying to push for communism and genocide of anyone that doesn’t bow down to preconceived “oppression” [4/5]

to which ____ again has declined to meet because of again, Amanda’s emotional hold on her. If I were you I would try to console and find a way to remove all ties between Amanda and ____ because if this continues it will lead to deterioration on both ______’s emotional and mental health. For her sake you must find her and do so post haste. -SH [5/5]  

Mycroft was no stranger to the unpleasantness that was Amanda. Like her state of dress she was loud and full of eccentricities for the sake of being seen and nothing more.

Odd colors, outdated fashions and very unusually (offensive) themed jewelry Amanda found almost everything to complain about when she was first introduced to him by ____ for a quick brunch.

“Ugh, couldn’t you at least date a man of color ____? This guy reeks of privilege!”

“I bet he’s never had a hard day in his life! All that rolling around in money while the rest of us rot in squalor with everything handed to him. Like seriously _____, why him? Must be nice having all that privilege huh Holmes?”

“He’s not even fit or handsome _____. All he has going for him is money and privilege. Like do you ever care about people? I bet you don’t you rich bastard. You only care about yourself and your money.”

“Ugh,the men here are raping me with their eyes! Like can’t guys go ten seconds without objectifying me? Disgusting pigs! Lesbians are not here for your viewing pleasure shitstains! Where’s the law when you need them?”

“This cafe doesn’t have my favorite breakfast vegan made exactly the way I like so I’m going back up there to demand that they remake it!” 

“That poor woman has three sons! All rapists and misogynists! If I were her I would of just aborted them!”

“Look at that woman, all her potential gone because she’s married and pregnant to a man. I bet that if she hadn’t she could be a corporate CEO of some finance industry by now or even Parliament!”

“I bet none of these imbeciles even  know how many animals they’re murdering by eating here.”

“I bet none of these fit women even know that they can choose to be lesbians. Poor things are brainwashed by the patriarchy to only want dick. ”

“Great the cops are here. Fucking pigs need to get burned.”

Mind you all of this was said out loud without shame.

Needless to say Mycroft felt no shame in having Anthea place a call to Amanda’s employer to ‘call her in early’ in order to remove the literal embodiment of complaints to leave their presence.

All and all Mycroft couldn’t understand why _____ would allow someone as toxic as Amanda in her life and did his best to use his connections to keep the sack of negative as far away as he could from her.

Whether it was paying off her employer to put Amanda on longer shifts, blocking IP addresses and her number from their phones it seems that while he was away his surveillance must have slipped.

I’ll have to order a staff meeting to see who, where and why it reached this point when I ordered them to keep me informed Mycroft thinks bleary as the house starts to come into view against the the slow creep of light from the horizon.

Another ping comes from his cellphone causing Mycroft to regard it once more.

I also forgot to add that Amanda may have been sexually harassing ____ as well to “prove” that she is indeed bisexual by shagging her. I believe Amanda hopes to either “convert” her into liking women exclusively, get a leg over or just get you to dump ____ by catching her cheating. Would need more data to say if it one or all of the above. -SH

Now this really got Mycroft’s blood boiling.

How dare she!

Mycroft knew that ____ had been sexually harassed before due to her sexuality in the past from various partners but from Amanda? Heads, specifically her head would roll. 

If he could Mycroft would he would banish Amanda to some God fore-shaken land at that instant but first he needed to find ____ and help her find out what she wanted to do.

As the car rolled up to the front door Mycroft makes haste to jump out before James could open the car door to find _____.

He doesn’t have to wander far as the house is still  shrouded in darkness and only one room from upstairs seems to be shedding any light.

Quietly creeping up the stairs Mycroft sets down his suitcase and carries on to the faint light stemming from the library. It was a common place for ____ to seek solace in as she found comfort among the dusty tomes and plush love seat. More often than not on a bad day Mycroft could find ____ there under the thick cover of a blanket hiding from the world with a fire roaring however this fire seemed to be fighting to its last breath to stay alive.

Squinting around the library Mycroft does not see ____ on the love seat nor her blanket nest that usually would surround her. 

“________,” Mycroft called carefully into the dimly light space. There’s some light snuffling but Mycroft takes a practiced pace around the room looking down every corner until he finds her huddled under the desk in darkness.

Squatting down to her level Mycroft offers a hand, “_____ darling, what are you doing down there? Why don’t you come up?”

She looks at him, her eyes still red from crying and face flushed. “Why? I’m worthless. A faker-scum. I don’t deserve kindness.”

“Now you’re certainly none of those things-”

“Am I?” ____ accuses the blanket thrown off as she creeps out of the small space, “I can’t even prove that I’m bisexual to my own friend and I’m just…some horrible person using up resources meant for really oppressed people and I’m…I’m just so horrible.”

There are new tears that fall from her face as Mycroft brings her into an embrace. _____ bodily shudders as she cries, body chill despite the fire and blanket.

Rubbing his hands on her shoulders and back trying to warm ____ up he lets her get a good cry in.

“I couldn’t even kiss her.”

Mycroft pauses his hands, “Well did you want to?”

“God no,” ____ denies, “Amanda isn’t even my type and I would never cheat on-”

“Then why would you have to kiss her to prove anything?”

“Because,” _____ stops to rub away the snot from her nose, “because Amanda says I need to prove it otherwise I’m just saying I am to be special. And I don’t want to be seen as fake the community already hates me enough as it is for being with you.”

Mycroft pulls ___ away to so she can look at him eye to eye. “_____ you know that I only have the greatest respect for you-”

She nods quickly feeling very vulnerable and exposed even to her boyfriend of a year and a half.

“But I feel that it must be said that if Amanda is going to treat you like this that you need to end your friendship with her because what you have with her is unhealthy and will emotionally unhinge you.”

How wide _____’s eyes get at the notion that Mycroft is almost certain that she could be drunk when she protests,“But she’s my friend!”

“Do friends force you at gunpoint to kiss them to “prove” anything? Do they sexually harass you and make you feel like shit because if they do I would dare say that Molly is doing a poor job of being your friend.”

Tired and embarrassed ____ sets her head on Mycroft’s shoulder. “You just don’t understand,” she whispers, “ Amanda’s been my friend since forever…I can’t just abandon her now especially since she’s been dumped again.”

Running a hand through _____’s hair Mycroft consoles her, “You can if she continues to treat you like you owe her anything _____. You are not her punching bag and owe her nothing about your sexuality or time. You do not deserve this kind of treatment and as someone I love I will not stand for this to continue however I need you to promise me not to allow her to manipulate you like this.”

“I know…I know but its so hard.”

“Just tell me what you want me to do and I will do it,” Mycroft promises, “If you want me to send her away I shall, if you want charges placed I can do that too.”

She sniffles, “It all just seems a bit extreme.”

“Considering you were crying underneath the desk in the library at two in the morning I would say that its fitting,” Mycroft retorts gently as the last of ____’s shakes were subsiding.

“I just want her to stop…I know I’m not a bad person…I just don’t want to sleep with her.”

“And stop she shall. You owe it to no one to prove anything and no one should mistreat you that way even under the guise of friendship. No friendship is worth that.”

____ clings tighter to Mycroft as the morning light starts to get a bit brighter making the library a little less dreary. Seeing how truly drained ____ was Mycroft asks, “Now would you like me to make some breakfast or order some in.”

“Mhhm.”

“Alright we’ll order in,” Mycroft says softly, “but while I order can we move to the love seat?”

“Mmh.”

“Lovely.”

Sitting on the love seat _____ rests easy on his front as they await breakfast from her favorite place.

 “That woman will not hurt you again or anyone like her,” he promises as ____ tries to shut her eyes. He presses a kiss to her brow as ____’s heartbeat starts to even out, “Of this I swear.”
