Art Rec: I'll bring you home, little brother
Title: I'll bring you home, little brother
Artist: whimsycatcher
Pairing: Sherlock & Mycroft
Rating: not rated, but SFW
Warnings: reference to drug use, blood, nothing graphic
Verse: Sherlock BBC
Author's summary: So The Abominable Bride had a lot of brotherly feels and inspired me to draw this series - 3 times Mycroft carried Sherlock, I might call it? I indulged in cuteness, angst, and some punk in between! Was gonna pair each scene with a ficlet, to sorta explain my derived headcanons, but I’ll just leave the visual details to your own imaginings!
Reccer's comments: The Abominable Bride did such sweet and sad things with the history of Mycroft's approach to Sherlock's drug use -- this portrait of the changing, yet constant, ways that Mycroft carries his brother home tugs at the heartstrings. I particularly love the way that this picture series offers wildly different glimpses of Mycroft at different phases of his life, but keeps his pose the one constant -- gently implying that the changes we observe in his character and the recognizable powerhouse he eventually becomes are dictated by his brother's unchanging need. A lovely series.
(A note about tagging: I have simply tagged this as BBC Sherlock rather than using the new tag for "Abominable Bride Victorian," since this only references the modern-day portions of the episode.)

Sometimes I get so irritated at the way Sherlock treats Mycroft so dismissively....

Yes, Sherlock is bratty and dismissive, but of course Mycroft is often overbearing and condescending. They both have issues, IMO, but I don't think either of them doubts the fundamental love underneath.
