I've been so very, very good and didn't peek before posting, and the story turned out to be such a treat! Mycroft! Sherlock being infatuated and jealous and unable to do anything about it! John's own infatuation! Mary! Moran! Mycroft! *flails*
“Come on, John,” he gritted out, his voice almost unrecognisable. “You don't get a choice on this. Keep breathing – I need you.” He leant his head forward, resting his forehead against John's hair. “I need you,” he repeated, quieter, the truth of the words feeling so solid and firm that they should be able to sink down into John's bones, into his lungs, and force them to start working properly.
Oh, my heart! And all those lovely bits of back story, and the interactions between John and Mycroft, and Mycroft being a Concerned Older Brother, and and and and and... I want to quote all my favourite bits, but it'd break LJ's comment limits.
