So I was listening to John Barrowman’s cover of  "A thousand years" (which is such an OTP song anyway) and I was suddenly hit with massive mystrade feels. Like I could totally see this from Mycroft’s POV.

I mean really: 

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone,
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow.

And then it just goes from there….
