I seriously don’t know what I would do without them!

#When I look at that second gif it kind of breaks my heart a little #it’s like Mycroft is thinking back when they were just kids #when life was simpler #and all the trouble back then was if Sherlock fell and scraped his knee #sometimes people overlook Mycroft and brush him aside #but that second gif you can just see all the emotions in his eyes and the slight down-turned frown on his face #Mycroft does genuinely worry about his dear brother
Mark Gatiss is a goddamn amazing actor. Because this scene means so much more than just a funny or sweet line.
Because THIS is the big brother. This is the man that would risk a nation for the sake of his brother. This is the boy who held his baby brother and looked down into those brilliant, innocent eyes, and swore he’d protect him.
This is the teen that held those tiny and boney shoulders after Sherlock deduced their father’s activities. The teen that explained what had happened. The teen that looked into those clueless yet incredibly keen eyes as they filled with tears for one of the last times. The teen that swore again that he’d protect him- even from himself.
OH GOD I’M HAVING FEELS
