Summary
Sherlock Holmes was nineteen when he decided he'd had enough. Uni was dull, his family smothering, cocaine too expensive after his trust fund was cut. There was no utility in pursuing a degree in Chemistry, not when he was so good at stealing cars and could make his own money. He had no reason to stay. So he left.
John Watson was nineteen when his absent mother dumped on him her last daughter. She disappeared (again) while his father drank himself numb every night (typical). With six younger siblings to take care of, uni was an impossible dream. They had no one except for him. So he stayed.
Or: how Sherlock escaped from his family, John sacrificed everything to his, and how, together, they built their own.

Summary
Despite having been in phone and text contact for years, Mycroft only meets Lestrade face-to-face for the first time at Sherlock's funeral. An initial request for coffee blossoms into something more, until Mycroft has to admit something he'd much rather not acknowledge: he and Gregory Lestrade, together, are inevitable. The only problem is, what will Greg do when he finds Mycroft lied about Sherlock's death?

Summary
Moments of understanding between the Holmes´brothers are always only intermezzos between screw-ups, usually caused by Mycroft. Or are they?
Is it possible to let go the fear of vulnerability? Is it possible to be forgiven for things you can´t forgive yourself?
Sequel to ´Five times Mycroft failed Sherlock´. Any comments appreciated.
