Dog is trying to use mind powers to drag me away from keyboard and outside for walk, but I cannot go ‘til I tell you prompt that just came to mind! Mycroft plays in an orchestra, or is studying music - would love to read that!

Mycroft on the phone with Sherlock, Greg breaking his concentration and he tries not to show it.“What you want is not my concern,” Mycroft snapped, opening the window to let in some fresh air. ”That file—”
“It’s nothing that could damage your empire,” Sherlock said, with heavier sarcasm than was called for, audible even over the terrible phone connection. Mycroft scowled. ”It was the only thing they wanted to buy, anyway.”
“You’re not supposed to be selling—” Mycroft broke off, losing his voice momentarily as Greg casually walked out of the master bathroom, a towel low on his hips and water sliding in delicate trails down his skin.
“So now you know what your enemy knows about you, yes?” Sherlock demanded testily. “I fail to see what the problem is. Mycroft?”
“Wha—you should have talked to me. First.” Mycroft licked his lips and tried to focus on the conversation, rather the play of light over soft, wet skin.
“Mycroft.” Sherlock’s voice was low and soft, almost vulnerable.
“Yes?”
“Do not ogle your boyfriend, whoever he is, while you’re on the phone with me.”
HEAD FUCKING CANON. JUST PLAIN CANON.
I need to know, please: what is the acceptable equivalent of a hug, for Eva? A lifetime supply of champagne?

what if i switch it and it’s them as adults: like mycroft unearths a note he’s written recently written completely mirrored like when he was youngSherlock’s little adventure into suicide was destroying Mycroft’s sanity.
“Sir?” Anthea asked, poking her head into the office. ”Do you—have you realise—”
“Spit it out,” Mycroft ordered, as he went through and made mental notes on the purchases Sherlock was making on his credit card—what was a “Bedazzler” and why was Sherlock buying one? How was this going to bring down James Moriarty’s web?
“You’ve written this backwards. Well. Reflected. Something.” Anthea held up a note, though she didn’t venture into the office. Mycroft curbed his initial response, which was to snipe at her—which explained why she was avoiding entering, anyway. ”We held it up to a mirror and figured it out, but I thought I ought to let you know.”
Mirror-writing. Mycroft tried not to smash his head into anything. What, was he seven again?
So much huggery. I don’t even know what to do with you anymore, Eva.

this is true. dd is a good plan. i don’t have a dd at the immediate moment but i could. i have a friend who might. also i have a prompt: champagne ice cream + gregokay i await your plan. dd. important!
Mycroft was horrified. ”But—why?”
“Do not tell me you don’t like ice cream,” Greg said, stirring briskly.
“I like champagne.”
“It’ll be in the ice cream!”
But Mycroft remained mournful, which was a bit of a damper on the evening.
Mournful Mycroft. Horrified Mycroft. Eva, you do the best things.
Mycroft. Yes. Hello.
A friendly reminder that Mark Gatiss is better than you.
thank you~

How can he look at this stuff and not realize that it’s all about him? HOW?? MR GATISS, YOU CONFUSE ME SOMETIMES.
arbitrary-aubergine asked you:

“Holmes, can you just use headphones?”
Mycroft sighed and lifted the needle. “I have turned it down to 60 decibels. Your delicate ears are completely safe.”
“It’s not the volume. It’s the voices. Piercing, shrieking harridans.”
“It’s not voices, Peter. They are violins.”
“They’re cats being killed. Slaughtered by the dozen.”
Mycroft folded his arms across his chest. “You dislike opera. You dislike Salieri. You hated Berlioz. You believe Philip Glass has written a symphony for bulldozer and strangled cat. Might you be able to inform me of a type of classical music that you care for?”
Arbitrary Aubergine said, “I would love to hear more about Uni!Mycroft.” And it was her birthday, so there’s this. :)

Tall, young, slender, dark-haired, blue-eyed. Rangy. Strong hands - probably a sportsman. Yes, definitely athletic. He ran easily, scooping a handful of hair off his face. His clothing seemed to be rather better than the average on the green. But oh, dear, now - she was pretty, and he had kissed her. Well, it was university, and these things meant little. And now they would be passing his bench.
Mycroft let his gaze wander behind the dark glasses. He didn’t like wearing them, but they had uses. They had been suggested as a way to hide eye movements, if one could remember to mask the body language as well. That was a trivial matter, of course. No one had yet noticed that he’d added a reflective coating to the inside of the lenses, which allowed him to watch behind himself as well. He folded his newspaper absently and got to his feet.
“Oi! Sorry, excuse me… hi.”
Mycroft glanced back over his shoulder, then turned round, facing the pair. “Yes?”
“You’re Mark Holmes, right?”
Secret Service Hand Porn
YES
THAT IS THE SMILE
And now I need to put him in a black suit, black shirt, red tie.
Did I mention that you utterly nailed the smile?
Also HAND PORN. Utterly yes.
This is my friend Ruby’s question. She was rather chuffed that a question about the origin of the umbrella yielded a John Steed and sword-cane comment. I agree with her.
Also, The Dark Government and The Old School Tie is clearly a fanfic waiting to happen. (Marmosette, I’m looking at you!)
XD Actually, yeah, I know where it would fit. Poor Gatiss. I sometimes remember to feel a little guilty. My brain just keeps getting darker and darker. Ohhh dear.
