Could you do a Sherlock fic where reader is like ten to twelve years old and was a witness in a murder or something like that, so Sherlock and John have to take her in to keep her safe? And Mycroft meets her and decides after the case to either adopt her himself or find the perfect family for her (she doesn't have any family she can go to)? -&
I’ll write this as a drabble :P Please remember to specify the type of request.
Characters: Sherlock, John and Mycroft
Fandom: BBC Sherlock

TItle: New Home
After talking to Lestrade and explaining everything she saw, the child was exhausted. John had wrapped her up in his jacket, seeing as she wouldn’t stop shivering, and had convinced Sherlock to take her home for the time being.
Mycroft, who had witnessed the whole ordeal, felt incredibly fond of that poor child. A protective instinct took over him as he watched her, so small and vulnerable. He wanted to give her a new home, a proper place where she would feel safe.
Her eyes were focused on the floor, holding the mug filled with hot cocoa that John had given her in the hopes that it would make her feel slightly better.
“What will be of her then?” Mycroft asked his brother, who watched her in deep thought.
“I don’t know” Sherlock responded simply. “She can stay here for now, but…”
“She doesn’t have anywhere to go” John whispered so she wouldn’t hear.
“I could adopt her, sweet little thing” Mycroft offered, his heart aching at the sight of her, still scared out of her mind. “Or at the very least help her find a new home”
“You?” John and Sherlock exchanged a glance, surprised by his statement.
The older Holmes brother just nodded. Certainly, that little girl had sprouted a sensitive side of him he himself did not know he possessed.
