He could be the making of my brother — or make him worse than ever.

oh god

The fic I’m writing right now is literally based on this exact thing

THE FUCK WHY WOULD SOMEONE PUT THIS TOGETHER

@silentauroriamthereal did you… did you write it? bc if you did, I’m suddendly in the mood to get hurt and would love a link to it

I did indeed! It’s my fic Sine Nomine! It starts with Mycroft pondering the footage of the morgue beating and revisiting the question of whether John Watson had been the making of his brother or made him worse than ever, and he comes to a conclusion. It’s a unique one of mine in many senses, one of which that it’s told from Mycroft, John, and Sherlock’s POVs and (I like to think, at least?) presents each of their cases as equally understandable. I’ll also just add that this was my phase 1 pandemic project where it felt like the world was ending. I was suddenly working from home and researching a desperately sad civil uprising & refugee crisis (Syria), and right as the George Floyd murder and BLM protests were bursting out, my own workplace was rocked in a massive scandal along similar lines, so the apocalyptic feel of the devastated, nameless village (“sine nomine” = “without name”) in this story was very much a reflection of some of what I was thinking about and feeling at this particular, very weird time in my own life and the wider life of this planet. Anyway, I’m on mobile so I can’t do a fancy link, but it’s over here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/24967870
