@holmesbrothers-offical
Sherlock: John asked me to be his best man. How could I say no?
Mycroft (insincerely): Absolutely!
Sherlock: I’m not involved!
Mycroft (insincerely): I believe you! Really, I do! Have a lovely day, and do give the happy couple my best.
Anymore siblings then this 😆
Ask from lordharryyorke
However, they are brothers.
I'm just imagining they're disagreeing and Sherlocks like "Mycroft I've literally never agreed with you this is so—" and Mycroft invokes Baby Sherlock by taking that picture out and the memory is unlocked with the picture and in the memory the second pic is happening (which photo was taken off) and qoute "If I ever dont ahree with you I've been possessed by the alien virus of stupid idiotic fool and you have to save me, okay My?" "How do I save you?" "Invoke the me to my sick self!" "The you?" "Yupp! The Mycroft's little brother. Or I don't know you can rename it. You *flash* *looks at the direction of flash* I was busy *back to Mycroft* You take me in your lap—" "you might be too big for that." "Trust me I've read all about this. It's another symptom. The first one, actually." "Hmm." "Anyway, you scoop me up, look me in the eye, and awaken this memory so I remember what I'm actually like, so then I'll know I'm sick, so then! *Climbing Mycroft in lil sibling fashion* So then I'll come back to be in your lap because your comfy a Nd safe and you smell like you and you can take care of me until I'm better and don't have the virus anymore. *Serious look* You'll have to leave school then. It's a very bad ill and you can't go to school while I'm ill."
Now why do I know this for certain? I was there and I'm the one that took the picture and it was later decided that to invoke Safety Protocol Baby Sherlock as it was dubbed by me (so you know I was there) you had to hold this picture off to him. More proof that I'm here is the blurrier picture of the legs of Mycroft as we laugh after the school comment. We had to convince the distressed boy that it wasn't to happen quite so soon, the poor boy thought he was to die in the next year (yes he thought it was lethal and potentially contagious. He in fact had done his research)
Three year old Sherlock accompanies Mummy whenever she goes to pick up Mycroft at school. He is always vibrating with excitement as he watches the students coming out of the school gates while he holds Mummy’s hand and clutches his bumblebee plushie, and happily screams "My! My! My!” as soon as he finally sees his brother.
One day, the school bell rings and Mycroft is about to head out of his class when his teacher asks to speak to him.
The well-intentioned teacher tells Mycroft that he needs to interact more with his classmates. Mycroft politely listens, but this turns into a long lecture and he grows increasingly concerned about his little brother, especially after his ears pick up the faint sound of crying coming from outside. After a few minutes, the wailing seems to stop, and Mycroft hopes that this means Mummy managed to soothe Sherlock. The teacher is still going on about how friends are important, even for one who is as intelligent as Mycroft. . .
Suddenly, Mycroft turns his head towards the door. He thought he heard. . . yes, this is the pitter patter of very small feet, and it’s coming towards the classroom, growing louder and louder.
The teacher stops talking when the door is thrown open, and something flies towards Mycroft like an arrow and jumps into his arms.
"Sherlock!" Mycroft scolds. "Why didn’t you wait with Mummy? She must be very worried right now!" Sherlock being here clearly means that he escaped from Mummy. Not that it would be difficult for her to figure out where Sherlock went - although she will be surprised that his little brother knew where his classroom was.
"I waited and waited and you never came out!" Sherlock cries as he buries his face into Mycroft’s neck. "I was worried! I thought you were dead! Why didn’t you come out!?"
"Shhhh, I’m not dead you little idiot," Mycroft says as he rubs Sherlock’s back. "The teacher just needed to speak with me."
This prompts Sherlock to raise his head. He looks at the teacher. "Did you make Mycroft stay here?" he asks with all the sternness that a three year old can muster.
"Sherlock!"
"But My-"
"Sherlock, that’s enough." Mycroft addresses his teacher. "I’m sorry, sir."
The teacher finally finds his voice again, and assures Mycroft that it’s all right. Truth be told, he’s a little relieved - he’s been concerned about Mycroft’s seeming inability to emotionally connect with the other children, but his student is clearly extremely close to his younger brother.
A few moments later, Mummy, who is out of breath, finally shows up and gathers her two sons into a hug.
Saved by the Sherlock, Mycroft!
Sherlock is probably even sterner than a normal three year olds when it comes to serious matters like his brother being kidnapped and bored to death by his sir and kept away from him, but then he is theee and bundled up with Mycroft and holding on to him and his bumblebee and whining and the teacher finds it so cute and endearing that she can barely contain his smile😍
Plus, it is immediately clear that just like Mycroft, this is no ordinary boy (and what else do you expect from Mycroft's baby brother?) so it's nice to know Mycroft has someone who looks up to him and loves him that much, and who seems to be able to keep up with his smarts (even if he's three)
15 year old Mycroft scolds 8 year old Sherlock when he finds him playing outside in the rain without even an umbrella or a raincoat.
On the next day, Mummy is gone and Mycroft is looking after his little brother. Sherlock starts to feel sick, but he thinks Mycroft would scold him again if he finds out (he was told that he better not become sick as he was given a warm bath yesterday after his adventure in the rain), so he does his best to conceal that fact from his brother. He actually manages to slip by Mycroft's notice for a while - he is busy speaking to someone from London School of Economics, who has come to the Holmes household to try and convince him that LSE would be a better choice for him than Oxford or Cambridge (Sherlock doesn't know why Mycroft bothers to talk to him, because he knows that his brother has his heart set on Oxford).
But as soon as the man is out the door, Mycroft sees that Sherlock (who feels much worse by now) is seriously unwell. Ignoring Sherlock's insistence that he's fine, Mycroft promptly phones a cab. He then turns on his little brother and asks him why on Earth he didn't tell him that he was sick. Sherlock answers that he didn't want Mycroft to be angry with him. Taken aback, Mycroft assures his brother that he isn't angry with him for being sick. Sherlock immediately attaches himself to Mycroft. Mycroft calls him an idiot, but he rubs his back soothingly as he carries him to the sofa and they sit there cuddling as they wait for the taxi.
Sherlock keeps clinging to Mycroft like a vine as they drive to the hospital and then sit in the hospital waiting room - he always becomes clingy whenever he's sick.
Sherlock is a model patient as he is finally examined by the doctor, until he hears Mycroft telling the man, "This was my fault - I should have noticed earlier." Sherlock practically yells at the doctor that no, this wasn't Mycroft's fault! And he would kick anyone who says that it's Mycroft's fault!
Mycroft apologises to the doctor and tells Sherlock to behave. The doctor assures Sherlock that he knows this isn't his brother's fault at all - he knows that Mycroft takes good care of Sherlock, and he can see that Sherlock also takes good care of Mycroft.
Mycroft tells the doctor not to encourage his little brother, but he can't conceal his smile.
Sherlock trying not to make Mycroft angry and Mycroft immediately going "no no I won't be angry" and after the reassurance Sherlock becoming a lil baby panda again and sticking to Mycroft!
And Mycroft blaming himself and Sherlock's "Mycroft is the best lemme put him on an even higher pedestal somehow" awakening and so Sherlock, sick and sniffling, declaring in a horse voice that anyone who blames Mycroft is getting a kick (nevermind that he is currently practically in Mycroft and doesn't have the energy or want to separate from his brother)
"don't encourage my brother" when the doctor tells Shelrock that they take good care of each other but he's GRINNING EAR TO EAR!!
Love this! Also for once Sherlock's being a good patient lol. Maybe tis because he wants to proof that it's not Mycroft's fault he is a very good brother. And a very good role model! I imagine in that attempt he has to stop him from swinging his legs to be "proper" but the doctor tells him he can do that and he claps like a lil happy seal 😆
Mycroft and Sherlock
The way Mycroft is just staring ahead while Sherlock is moving his legs in the air 😂
Lethargy doesn't move when crazy activeness tries to invade it's peace lol
Mycroft insists that thirteen year old Sherlock shouldn't go to the movies without adult supervision before the age of fifteen, but that means he has to accompany him to see Jurassic Park.
Mycroft complains about the horrors that are the noise and the people, and declares that eating in the theatre should be banned (but he buys the snacks that Sherlock asks for).
The theatre is absolutely packed. Mycroft isn't too happy that he's sitting right next to someone. He presses himself a bit against Sherlock to avoid being too close to that person. Sherlock squeezes himself against Mycroft too.
Did they at least enjoy Jurassic Park?
Sherlock would probably be complaining about all the ways they got x dinasoaur wrong and how in a real Jurassic park that wouldn't be there and all the creatures that weren't in the Jurassic era while simultaneously asking Mycroft hypothetical scenario which would cause a real life Jurassic park and how science could realistically bring dinasaurs back. Mycroft makes is clear that he is not to attempt experiments on chicken to try and figure out how to unevolve them back into dinosaurs. Sherlock thanks him because he hadn't even thought of chicken shenenegians. Mycroft probably can't sleep for a long time while Sherlock talks about whether eating chicken to establish dominance or forgoing chicken eating to not become a threat would be better if they were to be in a real life Jurassic Park during dinner with the conclusion being depends on whether I get to pet it, whatever side that falls on 😂🤣
Also, after this experience, Mycroft probably increases the "no cinema alone until 15" to 23, and Sherlock is trying to figure out how he can adopt a child and become a driving instructor and go to college before he can go to the cinema alone, but then knowing Mycroft there's probably a whole hoard of things he won't be allowed to do as well even after the law let's him (if it's up to Mycroft he'd change the law just to stop Sherlock from doing something, if Sherlock was bothered by the law, that is)
The Holmes residence’s garden is covered in a thick blanket of snow.
14 year old Sherlock is delighted; he’s happily running around and playing.
21 year old Mycroft is there to keep an eye on him of course. He looks at his excited little brother and declares that he is a complete child still. . . while he himself is building an extremely elaborate (and clever!) snow castle (and having a lot of fun).
"You are an absolute child, Sherlock *building structures in the snow*. You're still so excited and happy in the snow *making it bigger, pouting when a part of it falls* you should grow up."
*Sherlock grinning knowing his brother is having the time of his life* *Mycroft throws a snowball at him because how there his smile suggest that Mycroft is anything but annoyed at having to mind him in the snow* *snowball fight commences* *Mycroft hiding behind his tall structure* *Sherlock mountain climbing it* *Mycroft is definitely not enjoying this (Mummy never lets him destroy the photo she takes and instead gives it to Sherlock for safe keeping. It's still somewhere inside 221B) and no one should suggest otherwise*
Today's bug thing is this bee bead!
these would be out at the library on crafting monday while tiny five-year-old sherlock is there and, while he usually reads more than takes part of the activities, he spots these and decides he has to make matching bracelets for him and his coolest big brother he sits down at the chair, feet not even touching the ground as he sits, and swings his legs happily as he strings multiple bee beads and yellow and black beads while reading a pirate book on the side. he has to ask the crafting supervisor to tie it for him and he feels very embarrassed about it but decides it is necessary because he has to give it to mycroft. when mycroft gets there, he finds it trivial and does not wear it. Sherlock pouts all the way home. the next morning sherlock sees it on mycroft's wrist as he makes him have breakfast, and he completely forgets about not liking the oatmeal as he happily tells mycroft facts from the pirate book he read while making the bracelet @holmesbrothers-offical @lokijiro
first time making one of these lil head canons and thought you'd like them !
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww. 🥺 HC accepted! This is so precious, I love everything about this. Lil Sherlock swinging his feet and reading a pirate book as he works, being embarrassed that he needs help but considering it necessary because Mycroft. 😭 And he’s so happy when big bro wears it that he forgets disliking oatmeal. 😭😭😭
Tiny Sherlock must have a huge, happy smile on his face as he and his brother walk to school together wearing matching bracelets.
(And I hope the bracelets still exist somewhere among the adult brothers’ belongings.)
AWW imagine when they're older, and sherlock has to go over to mycroft's, he finds the bee bracelet somewhere while snooping around instead of helping with dinner, and because he does not remember much from his childhood he wonders why mycroft has something like this. he goes over to ask and mycroft tells him that he is the one who made it, and sherlock is quite surprised !!
His swinging feet and the his huge pout when Mycroft doesn't wear it 🤣 and he absolutely forgets about breakfast issues when he sees it. Mycroft is surprised by how quickly Sherlock finishes his food!
He is smiling like the sun itself the whole day!!
Sherlock has his somewhere too, but he's forgotten about it (it's probably in his old room at his parents still), but he is majorly surprised that Mycroft has it with him, and that it's been carefully placed inside a ziplock bag, too. Mycroft's reply leaves him absolutely stunned!
I love this!!!

One morning, 5 year old Sherlock’s class do a song and dance together in front of the rest of the school.
Sherlock is so excited to see Mycroft and is all smiles. However, then it’s time to go back to his own classroom. Sherlock attaches himself to his big brother, refuses to be separated and starts crying.
Sherlock's parents end up giving him a half day, and Mycroft is firmly against that ("you're spoiling him!" "Mycroft, even if we tried all our lives we can't spoil him as much as you have. Just let him come home with us.") while Sherlock rejoices in his victory against injustice (not being with Mycroft)
Mycroft is absolutely the "parent" who firmly protests when Sherlock is being spoiled. . . without realising that he is the biggest spoiler of all.
I love Sherlock considering "not being with Mycroft" to be the height of injustice. 🤣🥺 It has probably been only a couple of months since he started school, and the moment of being separated from Mycroft is hard for him (not much difference since the days when he stayed home, and would attach himself to his big brother’s leg whenever it was time for him to go to school).
Mr and Mrs Holmes do not like being told how to parent their kids while actively being blocked from parenting lol but what can they do, Sherlock and Mycroft are their kids 😂
Shelrock very openly opposes the injustice of being away from his brother 😂 It's the worse thing in the world according to him. Mycroft finds it very cute, if sometimes repetitive or annoying

11 year old Sherlock no longer hugs Mycroft in public but is still very demanding of cuddles in private.
*flops onto Mycroft's bed while Mycroft's in the washroom*
"Sherlock what are you doing? It's three in the morning and you've school tomorrow!"
"You were busy today! I didn't get a single hug!"
"Sherlock—"
"I won't leave and I won't sleep!"
*sighs* "You're such a toddler" *hugs Sherlock anyway* *Sherlock smiles and cuddles his brother, eventually falling asleep right there with Mycroft combing his hand through his little brothers hair*
Oh hey, I’m up at 6 AM again and feel the urge to do something soo 👏 headcanon time!
Might have written something similar to this first one, maybe— I can’t remember, I think it was on why each Holmes brother preferred calling or texting over the other. Anyways!
Sherlock who prefers to text because when he’s excited / in the zone he often speaks so quick that not many can understand what he’s saying, and because of phone calls being phone calls especially back in 2010’s when the technology wasn’t the best (I’m assuming, I didn’t have a flip phone or any phone really.) which is why Sherlock prefers to text, and it’s probably easier for him to actually properly organize all his thoughts.
A teenage Sherlock who often mumbled, and thus was hard to understand but often refused to repeat himself because he found it tedious. ‘Why should I have to repeat it? It’s their fault for not listening.’ But Mycroft is able to understand him, but often lightly admonishes him for it when he’d mumbled. Probably something about how it wasn’t proper manners (same with when Sherlock put his elbows on the table, or didn’t put a napkin on his lap or when he’d bring a book to the table.)
I thought I’d have a few more but now the tiredness train has caught up soo I’m going to sleep.
I can definitely see these being the reasons he prefers texting, and why he accepts to call Mycroft - he can speak to his big brother at the speed of thought and still be understood.
(Part of the explanation of the Mycroft exception might also be that Sherlock is attached to his brother and wants to talk to him and hear his voice. . . Even if the conversations might include light admonishments.)
Sherlock also feels the need to prove that he's the cleverest person in the room, and as you say that's easier when you take the time to organise your thoughts. Mycroft, otoh, feels the need to analyse his interlocutor and take control of the conversation, and that's more difficult via texting.
Sherlock definitely likes to listen to Mycroft's voice, though he isn't in any hurry to admit that! I absolutely agree with both your thoughts!
I've also read somewhere that it's harder to fake your voice in a call than it is to pretend your someone else over texting (it's easy to fake being someone while texting compared to talking— anyone can just use someone's way of texting, but faking their voice and exactly what they say how and the tone and all is much much harder!) which also makes Mycroft prefer calling and I love the idea! It would also make Sherlock calling Mycroft instead of texting him more than just following his brother's preference but also understanding why his brother has the preference and wanting his brother to know for sure that it's him, which is so cute 🥰 Also Sherlock has a distinct style of texting someone would easily be able to pick up on and use. It also makes Mycroft texting Sherlock so much sweeter because it's like a "I'll always know if it's you" gesture and I love that (ofc it's near impossible to manipulate the holmes brothers texting style exactly and the other would always catch on to the minute difference (esp as the general populace think their relationship is strained))
And of course its harder to control the convo over texting.
Mycroft sits in the garden reading a book while keeping a watchful eye on Sherlock, who is busy playing and exploring.
Sherlock brings his brother flowers and plants and insects, and points out birds to him. Mycroft can name all of them and tell Sherlock (seemingly) all there is to know about them like a human encyclopaedia.
"That's so much bigger! We should help the ant carry it, Mycroft. We should give him a leaf wagon!"
"Ants can carry weight many time larger than themselves, often upto 50 times their own weight, but some species can even carry objects 100 times heavier than itself. The ant is fine, Sherlock."
"Oh!" *Falls on Mycroft* "So if I could carry you, I'd be like an ant?"
"I'm not that much heavier than you, so no. Besides, I'm not having you try to lift me, let alone carry me. You'll get hurt."
"But if that ant can—"
"It also lives in a.." *thinks of Sherlock's general form of living. " Nevermind that. It's structure allows it to do so. And I am not letting you get hurt. And it is not a viable experiment."
*Sherlock pouts pathetically at Mycroft's refusal*
Baby Sherlock learns to crawl.
Seven year old Mycroft is the one who thoroughly baby-proofs the house (Sherlock is extremely attracted to dangerous things. . .).
Sherlock now crawls at lightning speed towards Mycroft when he returns from school.
YESSSSS
Mycroft more or less begins to crawl with Sherlock for a while, especially when he's trying to teach Sherlock to go from crawling to standing and walking!
Mycroft also has a significantly hard time teaching Sherlock how to go down the stairs without getting hurt because Sherlock somehow has not the developed the baby sitting and sliding down habit at all— it's only when Sherlock begins to toddle around that he learns how to do so without getting hurt, so it's just a lot of anxiety for Mycroft until then.
8 year old Sherlock is missing. The family can’t find him anywhere and Mycroft is about to call the police, when it occurs to him that there is one place where they haven’t looked.
Mycroft goes to the library where, sure enough, he finds Sherlock, who is happily reading science books, oblivious to all the chaos and worry he has caused.
Mycroft takes Sherlock home and soundly scolds him.
But later, when he finishes reading Sherlock his bedtime story (a passage from Gray’s Anatomy), and his brother presses his face into him and apologises, he admits that he did the exact same thing when he was his age. He had walked to the library by himself and it never occurred to him to tell anyone, because getting the books to stimulate his mind had been all he thought about, and once he got there he had lost track of time. Sherlock’s eyes grow wide; he finds it hard to imagine his big brother doing something like that. But after having spent the evening feeling like nothing more than a very stupid boy, Sherlock finds himself feeling extremely pleased that what he did was the same thing his big brother did.
Little Mycroft's soul has possessed Sherlock it seems 😂 It's so funny that both brothers do the same thing causing everyone to worry— Mycroft about to call the police and suddenly remembering an old memory of him running to the library without telling everyone comes back up, nagging him, and he has to go and check just once, because maybe his little brother is following in more of his footsteps than he perhaps wants; and voila, there the little bugger is😂😂
