And here's the story I wrote for the round -- also a Mycroft-POV story, though with a quite different slant and tone, this one set in (mostly) traditional Conan Doyle canon territory. There have been a considerable number of attempts to "explain" the events of "The Final Problem"; this one is mine.
Broken Silence
Written for:
meredydd
Characters/Pairings: Mycroft Holmes, John Watson
Rating: G
Warnings: none
I shook my head slightly, levered myself to my feet – and, for the first and only time since the founding of the Diogenes, broke the club’s most cardinal rule. “Come,” I said to Dr. Watson, “and we shall discuss the matter.”
Note: The following narrative appears to be taken from the private papers of Mycroft Holmes, but its true provenance is likely to be the subject of considerable debate among Holmesian scholars.
