Title: Big Brother
Author: bwblack 
Pairing: None, gen
Length: not listed- less than 700
Author's summary: Mycroft becomes a big brother
Rating: PG
Warnings: Miscarriage, Infant Mortality, Depression
Verse: Sherlock BBC, pre-series
Reccer's comments:  Mycroft and Sherlock have a difficult relationship. The elder brother who worries constantly, the younger who resents the concern, and a Mummy who mustn't be upset. This story looks back to their very beginning, and a promise that became an ingrained character trait.
I'm torn as to how to classify this regarding genre. I'm tagging it as angst, although that's not entirely accurate, as it is also a story of healing. Or at least the beginning of hope.

It is heartbreaking and beautiful, and definitely makes my must-read list.



Please note the warnings, as these may be difficult subjects for some to read.
