John hurried out of the supermarket, trying to protect the shopping from the heavy rain. He ducked under a bus shelter to sort out his coat when a large black car pulled up. The phone in his pocket buzzed, but he didn't even need to read the text. "Mycroft" he muttered.
The car pulled up at an abandoned factory in a London suburb. John left his shopping in the car and followed 'Anthea' inside. In the centre of the large, empty room were two armchairs facing each other. With his back to John sat Mycroft, twirling his umbrella beside him. "Do take a seat John." He invited, "I need to have a talk with you."
"What about?" Asked John, taking a seat. He saw 'Anthea' leave the room, still on her phone as she did so.
"I'm assuming Hamish is to become a permanent resident of two-hundred and twenty one B Baker Street."
"Well, yes. He's going to school next year." Mycroft leant forward in his chair,
"Don't you think it's a little odd?" He asked, "That the cold, emotionless Sherlock Holmes has taken such a liking to the child?"
"Uh," John paused, "W- What are you trying to imply?"
"Only that his paternal instincts are very out of character."
John sighed as he stood up, "I think you're just bitter that your brother has found something that makes him happy."
"Ah," Mycroft laughed as he leant on his umbrella to get to his feet, he attempted to change the subject, "Did they ever solve that case? The French smugglers?"
"Uh, yes," John paused to think, "Found their headquarters from the mud under his fingernails or something. They spent days down at St. Bart's."
Mycroft smiled,"Goodbye doctor Watson."

Sherlock's Father
John found the photograph by accident. Idly searching online for Sherlock’s name, up it popped: a couple in their sixties, the woman unmistakably Sherlock’s mother.
John read the caption. “Your father’s a baronet?” he asked before he thought to catch himself.
Sherlock paused at his own laptop. “A knight.”
He came and looked over John’s shoulder. “That was taken some time ago. He still wasn’t talking to me then.”
Sherlock’s family life was a minefield. “How long..?” asked John hesitantly.
“Eight years,” said Sherlock. “Growing up I was&he

Conflict
I hear him walk behind me, groaning slightly as he nurses the bloody nose I just gave him.
I couldn't help myself. Anyways, what the hell did he possibly expect? He fakes his own death, right in front of my astonished eyes, leaves me to my own devices for three long, hard years, and then just kinda...appears. Just comes back in, and tries to pretend that he didn't just leave me alone for three of the worst years of my life.
And, in all honestly, pretending was never something that Sherlock was particularly good at.
So I walk away. Swaying with my slightly one-sided gait, I walk. My whole body is so tense it feels like it could simply shatt

Sick!lock fic part 2
I awoke some time later to the sound of the telly drifting through the open door. I still lay on my front, and my abdomen was protesting. It took me a moment to realise that the discomfort was not originating in my bladder, but in my stomach. I rolled over, groaning when my stomach roiled warningly.
I glanced at the clock. Ten past one.
The usually appealing smell of leftover Thai food wafted into the room. My stomach lurched painfully and I shot up out of bed and ran to the bathroom just in time, nearly losing my balance as I rounded a corner.
“Sherlock?” John’s voice sounded far away as I bent over the toilet and then h

I think Sherlock actually likes the kid because he's smart.
