"As I have said before, all lives end.
All hearts are broken.
Caring is not and advantage." -Mycroft Holmes
"Oh come on!
I know you're the 'Ice Man',
but even you can manage a smile once in a while." - Jeanette Pond
~~~~~~~
Jeanette Pond was used to not being the center of attention, and preferred not to be noticed actually. She was a kind woman who always seemed to have her nose in a book. Being the center of attention wasn't something she was overly comfortable with, unless she was spouting some fact about history. So, naturally she left the spot light for her younger sister.
Mycroft Holmes left the 'fame' business to his brother. He was rather comfortable with his minor position in the Government, working from the sidelines to keep England safe. No need for 'unnecessary leg work', yet he still could make an influence.
These people couldn't have been more different. A gentle, emotional woman and man often referred to as 'The Ice Man'. Yet, they were alike in so many ways. So, what happens when they meet one another? Can the eldest Holmes see past the woman's quiet, dull, exterior to the interesting person with in? And can Pond break down the man's walls, and melt the ice with in his heart?

How Sage Became a Holmes//book the first (A Sherlock BBC Fanfiction)
~book the first~ Hello, reader. My name is Sage. I'm the ex-ward of Mycroft Holmes, currently living with his brother, Sherlock Holmes. I was recently inspired to take account of my adventures the past few years, just in case it's ever needed and because I wanted to. So, enjoy this epic tale of crime, drama, murder, and sarcasm. P.S. Whatever you do with this document, BE CAREFUL. It contains a great deal of insider information and blackmail material. If this were to fall into the hands of Moriarty, I'm afraid we'd be in deep trouble, so it's up to you to keep it safe. /please note: this is a FANFICTION. So a lot of it is FICTION, and doesn't follow the original BBC storyline fact for fact. So please, no comments about how "it happened this way in the show". Thanks./Complete

|| Be Her Guard || Sherlock Holmes x Reader
Mycroft had always warned Sherlock that feelings can get in the way, especially when it comes to his chosen line of work.

How can he possibly pretend such strong emotions have never existed when they still remain?Complete
Strange Coincidences: Johnlock AU
What if the perfect duo of Holmes and Watson had met differently? What if John had been hired by Mycroft to look after his little brother? What if... "Mr. Holmes," John exclaimed with astonishment written across his features. "You can't be serious." "This isn't complicated, I assure you. All that I'm requesting is for you to befriend my brother and become his flat-mate. You will still have your regular life. Your past with the MI-6 will become rather useful with protecting Sherlock from harm with his array of detective work and crime fighting." John couldn't ignore the way his heart's jumped at the last part. He struggled to keep his face straight and look at this rationally. "And what if your brother doesn't like me? We might not be friends." Mycroft sighed. "Then I will remove you from this job and ask someone else to try," he replied smoothly. John was going to reject the offer when Mycroft interrupted. "Mr. Watson, I am aware that you want something more then your dull civilian life. This is the offer that you've been waiting for." Still uncertain, John wavered. He decided to at least take a look at the file Mycroft handed him seconds ago. Nothing caught his eye as he flitted mindlessly through the pages. Then his eyes landed on the photo and John's breath caught in his throat. His sharp cheekbones and impossible eyes were undeniably the ones of the breath-taking man he had bumped into on the street earlier.Complete
The American Fire that Melted the Ice Man (Mycroft Holmes x OC - BBC Sherlock)
What could bring together an American working for Scotland Yard and a man in a 'minor position' in the British government? What might melt the Ice Man, and what could strike fear into the heart of he who has faced down terrorists and negotiated with countless governments? Perhaps, in the end, caring -does- have its advantages. *This is lots of fluff, add in some sass, and a dash of intrigue and adventure. **I'm an American, and I apologize in advance if I get some British bits and pieces wrong. Also, this is fan fiction, so except a dash of OOC and AU because that's what makes fanfic fun. :) ***My original characters and the plot are mine, The Holmes brothers and their family and friends sadly don't belong to me.

House Of Memories
Sherlock Holmes is renowned far and wide for his Mind Palace but Mycroft Holmes is privately known to have a House Of Memories. Elina Hooper is the twin sister of the sweet pathologist, Molly. French on their mother's side and being both graced with multiple talents from their late father's side; Elina paves her path at the tender age of seventeen to becoming a full time nurse to no other but Rudy Holmes. Time skip to four years on, the famous uncle to the Holmes brothers sadly passes away which gives meaning for Mycroft Holmes in the realisation that his departed uncle gave him leverage that during the moment, he does not quite fully understand. Another time skip to four years later, Elina finds herself constantly drunk due to the dismay of losing herself in the worst of ways to her boyfriend and finally decides for herself to do better, to be better and quite frankly, to not let anyone rain on her parade. During the case of what Dr. J. H. Watson; likes to recall as, A Scandal In Belgravia, Elina is down on her luck and reunites with her younger sister Molly in hopes to get her life back on track. To Mycroft Holmes, Elina Serenity Hooper is just a passing face but it can't be coincidence by the power of the universe that she happens to turn up at his office, looking her best with sharp senses and tactical knowledge applying herself for the position to become his newly established personal assistant? Perhaps Elina would admit in the end that her likeness for the Ice Man had blossomed early which in turn would slowly bloom into her first true love. Perhaps Mycroft would admit in the end that despite his tetchy aura and complications of being himself, he was indeed capable of being loved and to go as far as loving someone too... How long is thread, you say? Well, my belief is that it's as long as you wish before you cut it. Hurdles to jump, cakes to bake, angst to commence, does Mycroft have it in him to allow Elina to be apart of his House Of Memories?Complete
