Summary
As a child, Sherlock had loved fairytales. The ones with adventures and dragons and happy endings. He'd loved that the villains always received ample punishment and the heroes lived eternally. Mycroft had them all memorised, so often had he read them to his little brother.
This is not a fairytale, though, because there are no villains and no heroes. There is only the story of a mathematician and a lawyer, of a politician, a detective and a doctor, of two little pirates and a brother and the east wind that did not quite take them all, in the end.
or.
The one in which Mycroft has to find a life beyond mere functionality.
[This is a post-season 4 fic and it is family story, but it is also a romance and a character study.]
