You know what happened to the other one

by SoulCut

The Holmes family was once a very happy one, everyone knows: two loving parents and their three smart, beautiful young boys. But a tragedy hits home, and forever changes the lives of Mycroft Holmes and his baby brother, little Sherlock. Because there is a reason why caring is not an advantage. For his friend s sake John must go backwards.

1. Chapter 1

"Every action has a reaction, all lives end and all hearts are broken. Caring isnot an advantage"

They seemed to be a loving family, united, but most of all, normal. A nice couple, the parents, always together. Their offspring, such incredibly smart young boys, everyone believed they would rise to the skies, "shine like stars, as bright as they are"…but of course, stars may fall, and their light can fade into nothingness.

The Holmes family had everything, no one would ever understand how, what looked like a perfect home, turned into an empty house. There is always a reason, a motive which leads to action, and an action that sets things in motion, such things changes our lives. Fate, a single moment, can crumble what was supposed to be, the happy life you were going to live.

This story is my explanation on the reason why Mycroft and Sherlock grew up to be the scarred people they are now. After all, I'm not the only one who wonders what could have possibly gone wrong in their childhood…especially after meeting their apparently good parents.
