Title: then he's finished
Fandom: Sherlock Holmes
Length: 722 words
Prompt: Sherlock Holmes fic battle: Steampunkverse, Watson and Mycroft
Pairing: Watson and Mycroft gen with mentioned Shirley/Watson
Other: Set in an AU-verse where Sherlock was born Shirley, but the setting is (mostly) retained with some occasional steampunk elements that don't show up in this fic.
Excerpt: "Why didn't you ask her to marry you?" Mycroft said, after the servant had left. Watson looked up sharply, confused.
"When you were first living together at Baker Street," Mycroft clarified impatiently, and Watson dropped his gaze again. He drank the tea, even though it was still too hot. There was no telling half-truths or lies to Mycroft. He couldn't even lie to Shirley about something trivial, because she always noticed. Still, he hated to dig that up again.
