in honor of Dioscurean Twins' birthday: BBC Sherlock fan art, by Shoot Bad Cabbies

[martasfic]

A few days ago, I commissioned my very first Sherlock fanart from Shoot Bad Cabbies, asking for "Sherlock torturing Mycroft or just generally being an annoying dweeb with him."

I can't pretend I requested this pic for Dioscurean Twins specifically. The brotherly dynamic between the two of them is one of my favorite parts of the show, and SBC does such wonderful kidlock - it seemed a natural prompt. But when I received the finished piece just as LJ was telling me dioscureantwins's birthday was approaching, I decided to hold back on sharing it for a few days. If there's anyone who's sold me on Mycroft as a character and the sheer brilliance of the relationship between these two geniuses, it's her. I thought she might like this picture so I thought I'd set it aside and save it for her.

Happy birthday, Dioscurean Twins. I hope it's full of dark chocolate, fine tailoring, Mycroft's company, when Sherlock hasn't pushed his good temper past all reasonable endurance, and all else that is good in this world. Also, fan art. Here you go.

Oh goodness, whatever did I do to deserve this? This is so utterly lovely, I simply can't thank you enough. What lovely, lovely art - I adore the bees, and Sherlock's brazen attack - and I can't begin to tell you how touched I am by this lovely gesture.

My sincere apologies for not commenting sooner but I was away on a holiday in internet free surroundings. And would you believe this new LJ didn't warn me of your post, so if I hadn't been going back through my flist on my return, I would never even have known of its existence and not have managed to properly thank you. Oh, the mortification one feels at that thought.

And then, apart from creating this lovely post, you also pay me such a lovely compliment. Frankly, I'm a bit overwhelmed right now.

Reading this post and watching the art was such a lovely treat, I can't thank you enough.

Thank you!
