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….

I got low, I didn’t see an end so I put a bullet in my mouth and the Other Guy spit it out. So I moved on. I focused on helping other people, I was good. Until you dragged me back into this freak-show and put everyone here at risk.
