Imagine Mycroft and Sherlock finally being alone together after Magnussen’s death. Mycroft is trying to keep as still as possible, but he can’t quite hide that he’s shaking ever so slightly. “I can’t fix- I can’t get you out of this, Sherlock,” he says, voice harsh and sharp; God, he’s so angry, what is the point of him if he can’t-
But, Sherlock just looks at him, so calm. “I wasn’t expecting you to.”
And, Mycroft actually offers him a cigarette, but Sherlock shakes his head. They stay silent for a few moments. Then, Mycroft dares to say it: “You’re in love with him.” He doesn’t phrase it as a question because some part of him has always known, really. He’s just gently testing the waters with those words, wanting to give Sherlock the option to talk about it, if he needs to. He owes him that, at least.
Sherlock doesn’t respond. Instead, he turns and gives a small, sad smile, the sheer honesty of it painful to Mycroft.
“Six months?” Sherlock asks, and Mycroft simply nods because he doesn’t trust himself to speak.
There’s a little pause. Then, Sherlock reaches into his coat pocket and throws something into the air. Instinctively, Mycroft catches it- a lifetime of childhood reflexes. It’s the spare keys to Mycroft’s house.
Mycroft exhales, then carefully presses the keys into Sherlock’s palm. “For when you come back,” he tells him. And, they both allow themselves the luxury of pretending, just for one moment.
Where the hell is “Tiana’s Place”? Don’t get smart and say New Orleans, I mean for real. Why have you not made a Tiana’s Place at one of your parks?
I see no possible reason why you wouldn’t have built a restaurant like this yet. It’s cute, classy, and would be totally fun. You could serve creole food (as well as just plain american fair for the less adventurous.)
It would be pretty as hell inside
It would be fun for kids and adults, you could have dancing and a band playing. You could have a magician (bonus points if he’s dressed liked Facilier. Or train your Faciler face person to do short tarot card readings! Or get a mama Odi!)
The face characters could come in and out, but there’s always a set time Tiana and Naveen would be there (and if they aren’t you can say their in the kitchen cooking up a storm!) Jazz music! Lots of Jazz and swing. You could have workshops with Tiana for kids to learn stuff like the charleston, or cooking!
And then night or during the day a couple times a week you could have a second line (small New Orleans style jazz parade) with a brass band and Tiana and Naveen leading it, all the way to the restaurant.
And Oh my god, do you consider how many people would love a place like that to get married at the park! Having a wedding second line too? How fun that would be?
Disney, you are really missing out by not playing up the fact you have a character that opened their own restaurant (outside of Remi from Ratatouille but that’s another rant) and I’m really sick of The Princess and the Frog being among your more ignored movies. Put it at Epcot near the river or just anywhere! Heck, I know I stayed at a New Orleans style resort area of yours when I was like six! (Is that still around? I don’t remember what it was called, but there were Gator statues with instruments that would tie in really well…)
I’m actually shaking over here. 🙂 I picked the perfect day to wear my Ianto’s Coffee shirt to work.
I should wear mine in solidarity!

In case anyone was wondering about how awesome Big Finish is, hums-happily noticed that Harkness was spelled wrong on the synopsis and pointed it out to me.
I sent them a polite email about the name and quickly got this response:
Well spotted – this was a mistake I’m afraid. The person responsible has had their brain wiped.
And that’s the kind of people they are.

The best part of posting that Ianto Torchwood announcement and having it take off is reading all the squeeing/dying/flailing in peoples tags. There are a lot of all caps and exclamation points 😀
