Author's summary: Originally a kinkmeme fill; the OP requested a literal interpretation of the quote "I have been reliably informed I don't have [a heart]." Other people posted with great ideas, but I was reminded of a Gundam Wing fic I read ages ago, Lost and Found by Lys ap Adin, where the heart is an object you can literally give to the one you love.

Reccer's comments:  This is an a strange and wonderful fic - poignant, tender and haunting.  It explores the idea of the heart being a literal gift, and what that means for the "heartless" Sherlock but Sherlock's relationship with Mycroft is also beautifully written. If you like etothepii's gorgeous fics, you will probably like this.
