Summary: Pre-series, Moriarty knows nothing of Sherlock Holmes. He knows only of Mycroft Holmes, the interfering government official who keeps thwarting his criminal schemes. Having become enamored with his cold, clever enemy, he decides to take him captive instead of killing him.
Review: This is a beautifully dark little fic. Mycroft's inner monologue is well written and believable, especially those moment when he recognises that he is developing Stockholm syndrome but it unable to stop it. A particularly dark version of Moriarty, who the fandom all too often view as simply misunderstood. In this, despite his lack of violence, you see the monster he really is. Fabulous.
