Author's summary: Sherlock Holmes learns to drive. Mycroft may never recover.

Reccer's comments: I only recently discovered this fic, as it was recommended to me as a 'pick me up' sort of story - and for me it does that job perfectly. It's a delightful slice of Sherlock and Mycroft's youth - the long-suffering Mycroft teaching his high strung and defiant little brother how to drive. It's light and funny to read, but also contains some sharp insights about the brothers and their relationship, and the source of the tension between them. The characterisation is absolutely spot on, and cleverly drawn. It's definitely my new adopted headcanon about how Sherlock learned to drive.

I truly lol'd. Thanks for reccing this, I'm surprised it's not more well-known! (Or maybe that's just me X-)
