Fairytales

Once upon a time there were three siblings born to the Holmes Family, each gifted with high intelligence and each cursed to not understanding the emotions of the ordinary people of the land.

First there was Mycroft, the eldest, he held the highest intelligence and used it to bend Governments to his will.

Next was Eurus, the youngest and the only daughter, she had the sharpest and cruelest mind and used it to seize an island fortress as her personal domain and tame an army of followers to jump at her every command.

Then there was Sherlock, the middle child, the cleverest of them all. He tamed no governments, nor seized control of isles, but instead made himself useful to the common people. In this way he seemed to be the weakest of them in his siblings' eyes but was in fact the strongest with the most support of loyal followers who would help him in any way they could. This was important for Sherlock as he knew the day would come when he would need to face one or both his siblings in battle to protect the people from their cruelty and greed, and would need all the support he could get to do so and win.

Our story truly begins when a newcomer named Moriarty came into the lands ruled by the Holmes Siblings and tried to make friends with the two strongest by showing them he was their equal. He showed that he was just as intelligent as they and with just as much power at his finger tips as them thanks to his Web of Shadows. But for all his hopes of friendship he was saddly disappointed.

Mycroft, fearing that Moriarty held more sway among the governments than he, denounced Moriarty as a criminal and had him captured and tortured. Moriarty only kept his life and was released once his Shadow Supporters moved to show the governments how Mycroft had lied to them about Moriarty being a criminal, there was no evidence to support such a claim.

Eurus then invited Moriarty to her isle of Sherrinford to, ostensibly, appologize for her brother's hasty actions and harsh treatment, but in truth so she could try to sway him to join her; and if he refused to be swayed then force would be used to gain control of his Shadows for her own use. Moriarty refused to play her games and she grew angry. Cut off from the help of his Shadows Moriarty only escaped her wrath through trickery. He made her believe her brother Sherlock, whom she held an obsession over, was coming to visit and slipped away while she was distracted.

Sherlock, having learned from his siblings' mistakes, and not underestimating Moriarty and his Web of Shadows, did not seek out a direct confrontation but instead sent his most loyal and faithful companion as an envoy to meet with Moriarty.

Watson, a man of such kindness and goodness that not even the worst of the Holmes Siblings could cause him to waver in his path, found a badly injured Moriarty attempting to recover from the cruelties of Sherlock's siblings and offered to help. Moriarty, wary now of anything and anyone connected to a Holmes, hesitantly accepted.

While Moriarty healed, Watson told him about how he met Sherlock, about how Sherlock helped the people of the land even when they didn't understand why he did or appreciate him for doing so, and about how Sherlock was nothing like his siblings. Watson also told Moriarty about his own first meetings with the other two Holmes Siblings.

Mycroft had stalked and kidnapped Watson, even tried to offer him money to spy on his little brother, but Watson had stood firm and stared the powerful Holmes down and shamed him for his actions. Eurus, though, had been much worse than Mycroft.

Eurus had been jealous of all the time Sherlock was spending with Watson so she had had Watson kidnapped and placed in a deep well to drown, he only survived do to Sherlock outwitting his sister and rescuing him.

Moriarty, healed and moved by all the tales Watson had told him of Sherlock, agreed to meet with the middle Holmes Sibling.

Sherlock had tea waiting for them upon their arrival and he and Moriarty sat down to discuss a treaty so they may take down the other two Holmes' together.

"What are you telling them now?" John asked from where he was leaning in the nursery doorway, a fond smile on his lips.

"I'm just telling them how we first met." Jim replied as he turned to face his husband and away from their one year old twins in their bed, who had long since fallen asleep.

"Really? That is not how I remember it going, at all." John raised an amused brow and Jim smirked.

"Well, they are a little young for bomb vests and candle lit kidnappings." John snorted and Jim's grin widened.

"Well, finish up your story and come to bed soon, we promised Uncle Sherlock we'd bring his godkids over for a visit in the morning." With that John left his adorable husband to finish his rediculous tale and went to bed. Jim turned back to the crib and its precious occupants, running a finger gently down a soft cheek and smiling the smile of a besotted parent.

So Moriarty and Sherlock teamed up and trapped Eurus on her isle and used their combined wit to scare Mycroft into cooperating, then Moriarty asked Watson to marry him and Watson said yes. Sherlock was their bestman and later agreed to be the godfather of their children and everyone lived happily ever after...

Until the kids grew up and took over the World, because how could they not with a papa like Moriarty and an honorary uncle like Sherlock.

"The baby monitor is on, you arse, and like hell are my kids taking over the World!" John yelled from their bedroom, causing Jim to snicker.

But they were good and fair rulers because their dad Watson imparted on them his kindness which counteracted all the negative traits they otherwise would have picked up.

Jim heard a snort from down the hall and chuckled quietly to himself before leaning forward to press a kiss to two tiny foreheads. With a whispered goodnight he finally turned away and headed for bed.

AN: I am leaving the decision over whether they adopted the kids or this was Mpreg totally open to interpretation, I'm persoanlly okay with either but I know some people find Mpreg to be too weird for them.

Hope you enjoyed! :-)
