    Summary

    “You’re throwing your life away,” Mycroft pipes up in his smooth monotone voice. Sherlock lets out another loud sigh in response. Usually this speech comes after breakfast.

    “I’m serious,” Mycroft continues, slowly turning the page of his newspaper.

    When are you not? Sherlock thinks bitterly.

    Or, whilst coming off a drug binge, Sherlock spends the day at Mycroft’s house. Brotherly bickering galore. Pre-series

    Summary

    Sherlock turns up where he has been asked not to, and finds Mycroft less perfectly assembled than the evening he planned. Lestrade is there. Both come to Mycroft's aid when he finally (and inevitably) unravels.

    ***

    Lestrade did not see the signs in Mycroft, but he recognised Sherlock’s stillness.

    “Sherlock, what is it?” Lestrade approached, drawn in by Sherlock’s manner.

    “I’m going to need your assistance in about ten seconds.” Sherlock responded flatly, giving no indication of urgency despite the timeframe.

    “My assistance? ten -?” Lestrade frowned, trying to catch up. “Wait, what for?”

    Summary

    Mycroft is sick and leaves work early. Sherlock shows up at his house because Mycroft never leaves work early. They fall into a familiar pattern of care, the same as they did when they were boys.

    ***

    Mycroft’s phone chimed.

    A sick day?

    SH

    Mycroft spared a cursory glance at the screen, took a thin, shaky breath, and turned the phone face down. His fingertips rested on his temples, pushing against the headache as the threat of being seen sank in.

    Summary

    Sherlock is waiting outside when Mycroft steps out of an important meeting for some air.

    ***

    “You haven’t been sleeping.” Sherlock observed idly as he held out the flame to his brother.

    “Not habitually, no.” Mycroft responded, leaning into the flame, breathing the ember alive. He took a small drag, and then another, deep and reverent.

    They both exhaled slowly and the smoke settled between them.
