Summary
Mycroft has always known how to survive his family. Greg has always known how to take care of everyone but himself.
They meet at university in the early 90s. A slow burn of curiosity, longing, and fear. When Mycroft’s family tightens its grip and Greg’s mother falls critically ill, their fragile connection fractures under pressure.
Months later, fate drags them back together. Both of them still in love and still terrified.
What follows is the story of two young men learning how to choose each other through family cruelty, guilt, healing, and the kind of tenderness neither grew up believing they deserved.
And in the background lingers a young Sherlock, brilliant and brittle, who needs his brother more than ever.
Basically a slow, aching, healing Mystrade coming-of-age romance full of first love, messy families, found family, tenderness, trauma recovery and the quiet bravery of choosing joy.

“You know, if Eurus and Moriarty had REALLY wanted to mess up Mycroft and Sherlock beyond belief, they should have just gotten married.” Prompt found on Pinterest
*
“You can imagine the Christmas dinner.”John had taken that offhand comment a little bit too lightly that first night.
A sane person would think that the Magnussen case might have kept the Watsons from coming back to the Holmes’ home for Christmas. But since when was John Watson a sane man?
“This year, Christmas is going to be good,” had declared the good doctor while decorating Baker Street, a ten-month-old on his hip and a 38-year-old by his side.Bookmarked by Lilip
