Never Just Filling Space<\/a> –\u00a0Now that Sherlock has returned, what will it mean for Mycroft and Greg?<\/p>\nTeaser below the cut<\/p>\n

Greg stepped into the room. Mycroft stood by the window, staring out at the city. After the chaos of the last few days, with Sherlock stepping back into the world of the living, the room was strangely silent and still.<\/p>\n
