Summary
‘I shall hide it all away, in a place no one will ever find. Everything, everything. But especially my soul.’ - Sabahattin Ali
Early in life, almost before he was conscious of it, Mycroft Holmes understood that he had a duty of care to his brother - a troubled, untethered man, sensitive to all the miasmic connections of the material world.
He had allowed himself, through the course of his life, a single active choice unrelated (but in the end, useful) to this obligation: his career. His pride and joy and the ultimate use of his cerebral talents.
As Sherlock matures, and his tenuous connection to humanity writ large strengthens, Mycroft finds he is needed less and less. Increasingly deprived of his single focus, he pours himself into his work, keeping global status quo by whatever means necessary.
By chance he meets Mariam. A woman, not a goldfish, but a representation of all things he works to tamp down in the world. As an unlikely, stumbling friendship threatens to blossom into something more, both Mycroft and Mariam are faced with contradiction, questioning the morality of the other and the meaning of their own paths in life.

Summary
~oOo~ COMPLETE ~oOo~
"She feels it in his hand as it brushes a stray curl behind her ear, in his tone, and his lingering kiss. In the smile he saves just for her. She thinks, perhaps, he loves her, even if he does refuse say it."
This isn’t a story about the magic we know. It is a story about the magic found in the every day; in the rustle of trees on the wind, the golden light of dusk in the Summer months, the dance of starling murmurations. It is a love story, yes, but it is more-so a story about healing, about imperfections, about mistakes and forgiveness.
A slow-burning, sometimes flickering, HG/SS tale which begins during Hermione’s “eighth” year at Hogwarts and meanders through a lifetime.
