So this bouncing baby plot bunny landed in my lap today. It’s a World War II AU where Sherlock is evacuated from London to go live with his great-aunt in the country:<\/p>\n
Into the Country<\/a>\u00a0–\u00a0Evacuated to his great-aunt’s home in the country, Sherlock\u00a0finds what he never expected.<\/p>\n teaser below the cut<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mycroft crouched down and adjusted his brother\u2019s jacket. Sherlock huffed and rolled his eyes. Mycroft was worried. He was always worried about something. And with mum off with the codebreakers and father working with the army, they had left Sherlock in the care of his older brother the last few months. Only now Mycroft was sending him away too. He\u2019d told Sherlock London wasn\u2019t safe, that he\u2019d be fine with great-aunt Mabel, that he\u2019d be home before he knew it. But Sherlock knew he wasn\u2019t certain. The war wasn\u2019t going very well so far and there were rumors even among his schoolmates that the Germans could be bombing London within months.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you get off the train, Mr. Harris will be waiting for you,\u201d said Mycroft. \u201cWrite me.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI will.\u201d Sherlock adjusted his knapsack with his few belongings. He wasn\u2019t a little kid, he was fourteen. He shouldn\u2019t have to leave with the children.<\/p>\n Mycroft looked into his eyes a moment, then stepped back with a nod.<\/p>\n Sherlock gave a half-hearted wave and followed the others onto the train. He managed a window seat and looked out, expecting Mycroft to have headed back to his office already. Instead he was watching the train and looking sad. Clearly he hadn\u2019t expected his brother to see him this way. Sherlock\u2019s heart caught in his throat as the train started and Mycroft wiped at his eyes and finally turned away. He wondered what Mycroft knew. After all, he did work in the government. And suddenly Sherlock was afraid he wouldn\u2019t see any of his family again.<\/p>\n
