In “Scandal in Belgravia”, when Sherlock and Mycroft strolled into the morgue to see Irene Adler’s body and found Molly Hooper there, Sherlock seemed genuinely surprised (even if it doesn’t show on his face) that Molly was in for that night to assist them with Irene’s body.  Even after the horrible things Sherlock said to Molly at the Christmas party.

And I think Mycroft personally asked Molly to assist them because he wanted to protect his brother’s dignity. Mycroft knew that Sherlock was somewhat attached to Irene Adler and any emotion (if there is such that will come out of Sherlock) will be a show of weakness. Mycroft asked Molly because he’s aware that she’s part of Sherlock’s “Team of Carers”, like John and Mrs. Hudson. And bringing in another pathologist will just not do.

And of course Molly would say yes. She could have been reluctant at first, (because, hey, who would want to work on Christmas Eve?) but because it‘s for Sherlock, she did so.

And when Sherlock said that she didn’t had to be there, Molly said that it’s okay and explained that everybody else were busy with … Christmas.

And the way Sherlock looked at her at that scene seemed like he’s beginning to realize how important Molly was to him and to his work. That Molly would do anything for him, even postpone her own Christmas plans (if she had any) for him.

And Molly’s care for Sherlock was greater rectified in “The Reichenbach Fall”

(Otherwise known as the “What on earth are 800 of you doing here?” giveaway)
As you are all so lovely and, since I got here in January, have made me feel so welcome, I thought a small Mycroft-themed giveaway of some description might be in order.
So here, for your consideration, are two pieces of Mycroft-centric Sherlock Holmes apocrypha:
Enter the Lion: A Posthumous Memoir of Mycroft Holmes, by Michael P. Hodel and Sean M. Wright - An adventure tale, featuring Sherlock, Victor Trevor and narrated by the all-knowing elder Holmes. It is a delightful tale, penned by members of the Baker Street Irregulars who know their canon upside-down. Also, it is full of footnotes of the meta-fictional variety, which always pleases me - though I’ve no idea why.The Mycroft Holmes Mysteries: A Taste for Honey by H.F. Heard - The ‘Mr. Mycroft’ series are looked upon as being among the best Holmes pastiches out there, written by Gerald Heard, gentleman and scholar. There is even an endorsement on the back cover from Boris Karloff of all people, proclaiming it “A triumph of ingenuity and horrific simplicity.”
Both books are, rather shockingly, out of print, so the copies I have are not pristine. A Taste for Honey is in unread condition but, owing to its age, has yellowed pages and that delightfully overpowering smell of vanilla mustiness that all old books have. Enter the Lion is in similar condition, although its dust jacket is torn in places.
Rules as follow:
Giveaway will run for exactly one week, until Sunday 8th July, 19:00 GMT.
The winner will be chosen via a random number generator shortly after.
Reblogs only, please. Likes, although appreciated, will not be counted.
You do not have to be following me, but it would be very nice if you did.
I will post worldwide.
You must have an open ask box so I can notify the winner.
A huge thank you again to all my followers. With going gooey on you, you’re what makes my time here worthwhile.

Mycroft love!

Babes Jenn, Lyndsay, and Amy have a chat with three of the people behind the Steampunk Holmes project.  Producer Richard Monson-Haefel, author P.C. Martin, and artist Daniel Cortes talk about how the idea of mashing Sherlock Holmes and steampunk together came to life.  Holmes rides a steampunk motorcycle with sidecar! Watson has a bionic arm! Mycroft is a female! How cool is that?!?

The Steampunk Holmes project is authorized by the Arthur Conan Doyle Estate and is a labor of love for these three.  Currently, they are in need of your help.  Steampunk Holmes has launched a Kickstarter Campaign to help raise funds to complete their interative iPad application of Steampunk Holmes: Legacy of the Nautilus.  Everyone who donates gets some amazing gifts for helping.  You can donate here.

As a special thank you to our listeners, the Steampunk Holmes creators are offering a FREE download of the e-pub version of Steampunk Holmes: Legacy of the Nautilus.  To claim the free download, go to Smashwords, choose your preferred format of the e-book, and enter the code UN78D when you check out.  It’s as simple as there!

Trust us.  You won’t be disappointed.

You are right in thinking that he is under the British government. You would also be right in a sense if you said that occasionally he IS the British government.”

Things most Mycrofts appear to have in common (and this goes for Peter Jeffrey (not pictured) as well):

  • Awesome ‘bitchfaces’
  • Epic amounts of sass
  • Fantastic wardrobes
