okay okay okay. I really loved the bit in your Courting Mycroft Holmes about jim just like playing out different relationship dynamics. but what if the cliched dynamics are actually easier for mycroft to work with because he’s just so cut off from his emotions. so they’d go with it and play out different dramatic love stories every couple of months and mycroft’s warmed up so it’s not necessary anymore but it’s just their thing now. (I imagine they’ve now come close to Armageddon a few times.)

Oh my god you’re right, and mycroft’s a film buff and they’re both Drama Queens and they would totally just randomly burst into a Big Scene at the most unexpected times. They’re like That Couple that met at drama camp and never lets anyone forget it. They probably both like precode films and then there’s a lot of slapping and kissing involved

Greg: Are you.. blushing?

Mycroft: What, no.

Greg: Did I get the ever-stoic, hardcore, total badass Mycroft Holmes to blush?

Mycroft: No… It’s… It’s the cold.

Greg: Huh. It’s the cold. And not that I told you “your face is freaking adorable and I bet the rest of you is too?”

Mycroft: *blushing harder* *voice cracks* N-no.
