I don’t imagine it’s much of a target, but… why don’t we try for that?

[mycroftismagic]

I absolutely LIVE for the way Gatiss delivers that line.

This was the fic that finally broke through my previous hyperfixation and brought me to BBC Sherlock and the magic that is Mycroft!

Book 21 ✅ Whispers in Corners by @esamastation. Absolutely worth dipping a toe into a fandom I know nothing about, this fic is a delight.

Hello yes, I have been assaulted by thoughts. May I present you all with this Sherlock x The Magnus Archives au that just kind of *vaguely gestures* writes itself???

Main character knows shit he absolutely shouldn't by normal human standards, mystery genre with suspense, it's even set in London for God's sake. Enter the headcanons.

The Holmes Siblings

• Family serves The Eye and keep relations with other avatars.

• Not blood related, like the Fairchilds. Holmes is just a name, but they were raised together.

• The Holmes kidnapped them as children because they had an interest in gifted children, similar to the institute in tmagp.

• Mycroft was brought in last to keep an eye on the other two, he is still the oldest.

• Timelinewise the family attempts a ritual that goes wrong. "Uncle" Ruddy, head of the family, dies in the attempt and Eurus is weakened to a debilitating state. Also goes a little insane due to the Eye's influence.

• The Holmes run what is basically The Institute.

• The Diogenes Institute has close ties with the Yard, the government and royal family. One could even say they run most of them.

• Sherlock is basically the Archivist. Barely acts the part. Obsessed with closing open cases.

• Basically works alone untill he meets Lestrade and later on John, with the rare exception of Molly being included.

• The archives are in utter disarray. This is not on purpose, it is just his way.

• Out of the three, Sherlock is by far the one that abuses the Eye's power the most. He does feed it but he uses it to exhaustion.

• This is the reason Mycroft is still a motherhen.

• Mycroft is head on the institute.

• Has the most control over the Eye's powers. He does feed it a lot. Having access to the entirety of London's cctv feed does help.

Yes, I am writing Sherlock BBC aus in the year of our lord 2025. No, I am not finished.

Askbox is open in case anybody is curious.

One of the labs at my uni has the sign that literally says "The Holmes brothers prohibited"

BBC Sherlock is basically a modern AU fanfiction

Except for Mycroft

Mycroft stayed in the victorian era

A night in 221b Baker Street - The observer and the observed

[detail shots under the cut]

This piece was created with all the love I have for Sir Conan Doyle's detective and his biographer. Over the last six months my knowledge of Sherlock Holmes went from barely there to quite extensive (including but not limited to the stories themselves and the real life of victorian middle class people)

I'm quite aware this piece is anything but perfect but I've poured a lot of love (and time) into it.

Casual!Mycroft has that ‘knows ten ways to disappear a body but also makes you tea when you’re sad’ look again.

Urgh, I love him ✨💙

[mycroftismagic]

[mycroftismagic]

I seriously cannot be the only one to care about the fact that Mycroft officially lost his cool and practically screamed at his men not to shoot his little brother.

Sherlock | The Final Problem

[mycroftismagic]

[mycroftismagic]

"...nothing indiscreet," — Mycroft talking to John in an alternative universe without the dramatic staging of an empty warehouse.

Mark demands to know what Ben Whishaw wants to know in London Spy.

But I like it as casual Mycroft.

Mycroft Holmes headcanon, or OH BOY, DEDUCTIONS!

So I’ve seen a fair number of people hypothesizing that Mycroft is asexual.  I can understand where they’re coming from (well, sort of), but I just can’t see him as ace.  Celibate, yes, but not ace.

So I did what I normally do when I’m obsessing over characters, which is to say that I worked out a headcanon with a Sherlockian friend.  And by “worked out” I mean “deduced the heck out of everything at her while she nodded occasionally.”

Headcanon and related deductions below the break~
