Mycroft

Sherlock's first word was "Mycroft." His big brother finds this endlessly amusing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The reason why Mycroft took such a time consuming job was because if he didn't have a jab that didn't keep him busy all hours of the day and night, he would probably be even worse than Sherlock.

When Anthea was in the car with John she wasn't actually doing anything of importance. She was playing Words With Friends.....With Mycroft.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mycroft was a prefect at school. Sherlock spent several years in the special education track simply because nobody knew what to do with him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sherlock stopped buying drugs before he gave them up. Instead, so his money didn't go to support illegal activities, he began stealing from the dealers and making it look like the suppliers were skimping on shipments, starting a lot of drugs wars. Mycroft made him stop because it was too disruptive for the city and too dangerous for Sherlock.

The Queen has met both Holmes brothers, but she prefers Sherlock. Mycroft is a worker, but Sherlock is an endless source of entertainment in the palace. She especially liked the sheet incident.

In the childhood Mycroft and Sherlock were often forced to attend their parents' parties, where they passed the time making deductions about the guests.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The reason that Mycroft carries his umbrella everywhere is because Anthea hates it when he gets colds and because there is a sword concealed in his umbrella. He has used it more than once.

Sherlock was the kind of child who'd run himself wild for about eight hours straight, then pass out on the nearest flat surface- usually Mycroft, sprawled out in the couch studying for exams- for eighteen hours. Mycroft never complained, just took his little brother upstairs and tucked him in. If he woke the eldest Holmes child would read to him from his astronomy textbook to get him back to sleep.

Sherlock uses any holiday he can as an excuse to torment Mycroft by sending his insane amounts of sweets.
