johnlockandstars:addignisherlock:addignisherlock:Grave of the Fireflies AUMycroft (16 years old) takes care of his younger brother, Sherlock (6 years old), in the midst of World War II after being separated from their parents.can you imagine sherlock at 6, not completely aware of what’s going on, not aware that their home has been bombed in the dead of night and mycroft only managed to save him, and sherlock is asking mycroft “where’s mummy?”mycroft carrying sherlock on his shoulder, running and running to find shelter, and he’s trying his best to feed sherlock but there’s only so much he can provide, and sherlock is innocently asking him for more “myckie i’m still hungry, why can’t we go home to mummy? she’ll cook nice dinner for us like she usually does”mycroft getting tired and so his grip on sherlock loosened and sherlock falls, scraping his knee and he cries. Mycroft kneels down, patting sherlock’s hair, comforting him “come on sherlock, you’re a big boy right, don’t cry, i’ll take care of you, just wait a little longer” and sherlock is crying, because it hurts, because he’s hungry, because he just wants to go home, to mummy and daddy and redbeard, and mummy will heal his scratch and tuck him into bed and read him a story until the pain goes away. But mycroft couldn’t tell him, he didn’t have the heart, and all mycroft could do was hug sherlock, holding back his tears, “I’m sorry Sherlock, I’m sorry..”HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME!!!! I CRY EVERY GODDAMM TIME I WATCH THIS MOVIE AND NOW YOU MADE AN AU OF THIS! WHY?okay I secretly love this but we need a happy ending. Sherlock and Mycroft both live and don’t die of starvation. Mycroft gets a place somewhere and slowly works himself up till he is the British Government again and Sherlock (okay sorry throwing some more pain in) starts taking drugs because he still can’t handel this childhood trauma and has to think about his parent and redbeared and everything goes to hell and Mycroft again feels like he failed his brother.i like your headcanon but how is that a happy ending…? -- source link
