Chapter 1: Cloud of Fire

After the events at Sherrinford, Mycroft experiences intense scrutiny at work. As his position becomes increasingly precarious, he tries to investigate the source of the threat, but is thwarted at every turn. With his career and his mental health in shambles, can Mycroft open himself to a personal life he's been neglecting for decades?

I'm thrilled to finally be posting this, the longest thing I've ever written. It's been in the works for 2 years now and I'm delighted to put it out into the world. Thanks to @cumberbatchedandgatissmitten for the beta and cheerleading and to @keirgreeneyes for the stunning artwork.

I joined the @mystrade-reading-club when this was a short plot synopsis along the lines of "What if Mycroft got fired for what happened at Sherrinford?" and I couldn't be more grateful for the community of clever, kind, wonderful, generous people there. You are also funny AF and the reason my most used emoji is 😂.

Updates should be weekly on Fridays from here on out. If I tag you in the replies and you wish to be removed, let me know.

Headcanon time. I think Mycroft counts on that there is a possibility that he will end up in Sherrinford should his mind ever deteriorate in some way. His brain is too dangerous to unleash upon the world if he loses control of it.

I think he also fears that the drugs will ruin Sherlock's brain so he needs to be sent there. He knows that this would kill him, because he's like a wild animal that should not be caged.

Maybe Uncle Rudy had to go there before them. Maybe he is still there?

[dinner--starving]

Has anyone come up with a meta on these lines?

What if Sherlock is the one locked up in Sherrinford after he shot Magnussen?

What if this is what we're supposed to take from when Mycroft says "a week of isolation is locking up with your worst enemy"?

And S4 is his nightmare while in Sherrinford?

Still thinking more about it....

Little artwork for in between before Undertale's Anniversary tomorrow requires specific themes.

Wanted to work on a proper own design for dear ol' Holmes for a while so here we finally go with that one x3

Honestly, apart from the hair and him being a bit more disheveled he's actually not that far away from the Sherlock Holmes we encounter in the books. I especially wanted to assure the eyes fit Doyles description. He talks about piercing eyes, later also grey eyes.

In the meantime in terms of the more sloppy hair and bad shaving I confess I got highly influenced by RDJ's depiction. While nobody in my eyes can stomp Ian Richardson from the throne of the most booktrue Holmes, I must say I really love RDJ's approach of a Holmes who doesn't give much of a shit about social rules while giving the character's obvious neurodiversity more room…..okay and the Boswell-fanservice….aaaalright the fact that I'm idolising RDJ himself a TINY bit might also be reason why I adore his Holmes XD

Although to be fair I think also some nuances of Henry Cavill slipped into my version I didn't quite intend I guess :P

Ah welp, in any case, I finally have my own design with which I am satisfied. Was a jaring way to here from that cringy bishi-version I did of the good man back in my teens XDDD

[teaspoonnebula]

You are a time traveller.

After some terrible mishaps in the course of your wanderings through the past, you inadvertently change the flow of history. When you return to your original time, it's a different world from the one you left.

Politics, art, science, technology, each has deviated from the world you grew up in, often not for the better. You try time and time again to travel back in time and set things right, undo the damage you have caused.

After hundreds of attempts - victory! You end up returning to a present day that is almost exactly like the one you left.

Except the famous literary characters by Arthur Conan Doyle are called Sherrinford Hope and Dr Ormond Sacker. ** (This is really what Arthur Conan Doyle nearly called them, seriously.)

[randomnessoffiction]

For those wondering why I used a photo of Captain Hastings for Sherringford it's because Hugh Fraser played him in a Big Finish audio drama - and to my knowledge the only actor to actually play him.

[luminoustico]

oooh, sherlolly soulmates au?

On his return from Sherrinford, Sherlock discovers Molly's name is on his wrist, and it is infuriating.

"I don't want a soulmate," he snarls, because he's petulant.

"Good, because I don't want you," she says while pulling her sleeve over the place where his name is on her wrist, because this time, she means it.

Give me a pairing, an AU setting, and I’ll write you a three-sentence fic!

i liked the funky detective game

[threehours-aday]

for some weird reasons i like eurus so much. she's a total chameleon. i like her.

(does that mean i like chameleons too? ew, no.)

[dearsholmes]

fun fact

Sherlock Holmes was originally "Sherrinford Holmes" with partner John Watson originally "Ormond Sacker"

since some cool facts got lost in the large block of text that was the original long post (<-link to the long post on here)

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Hey! So this may be a little too specific, but do you know any fic where either Sherlock, John or Mycroft completely breaks down after Sherrinford and actually lets all the strong emotions flow for once? I feel like after the shock they just needed that…

Hey Nonny!

Oh gosh, I am not really sure of any fics related to this, sadly. I might have something on my TFP Is Canon list, but not 100 on that.

Anyone know of any fics that will satisfy Nonny?

[hedonist-aesthete]

I'm also looking forward to being able to have Sherrinford romance Halsin. He loves that big bear.

❧ RANDOM DIALOGUE (QUESTIONS) PROMPTS (2/?) ☙

➤ @curiosityshop asked: why do i have to apologize? - Mycroft!!!

  ❝Because, Mycroft, it's the right thing to do.❞ Molly spoke sternly, her hands on her hips. She was taking a huge risk talking to him like this, she knew it; but someone had to do it. And the last person he'd expect it from would be mousy Molly Hooper, the woman that was head over heels for his brother. He knew it, John knew it, Sherlock knew it—she didn't care WHO knew it any more, if she was honest. Her brows were arched in the middle, having none of it, ❝If you love those kids of yours, and you want to teach them something, it should be to apologize where appropriate. Especially when they know they've done wrong or in it.❞
