Victorian Holmes Prompt Box
An all-year-round prompt challenge for all Holmes universes set in the late 19th - early 20th century (ACD Canon, Granada, A Study In Emerald, etc.), from Holmes before Watson and their early years to WWI and retirement. You can post prompts or pick some to fill. Deadlines are optional: you can set them for your prompts or leave them open-ended. This is a no pressure challenge, so you can fill prompts at your own pace (if the deadline is not specified by the prompt poster). Any ratings, from Gen to Explicit. No word count restrictions. Artists and vidders are very welcome to join!

Summary
Six episodes from the life of the Holmes brothers narrated by Mycroft Holmes.
For the prompt:
I would love fic or art about Mycroft continuing to occasionally team up with Holmes and Watson, with the three of them developing a friendly dynamic in which Mycroft can be relied on to absolutely and indignantly decline to do things (while of course coming through and helping when and how it counts the most). -

Summary
Influenza has torn through a quantity of London streets and trapped Holmes and Watson within the walls of 221b. While suffering from Holmes' recent withdrawals and cabin fever, they take to bed for some much needed togetherness.
The cold of his skin against the heated flesh was almost too enticing, but instead, John’s focus was on Sherlock’s anguished face. He held his head in both hands and kissed him, softly on the forehead and then firmly on the mouth.
“My dearest, it does not matter. Today is only one day. Once this chemical imbalance is out of your system you shall be yourself again. And until then, come back to bed and let me touch you.”Series

Summary
Influenza has torn through a quantity of London streets and trapped Holmes and Watson within the walls of 221b.
Holmes has been increasingly agitated and it's down to Watson to figure out what is plaguing his beloved.
---
Watson had noted a number of doctors who journeyed through the streets to monitor the passage of the deadly virus and decide on the best course of action. From time to time, Dr Watson would open the door to the house and lean against the frame to talk with his colleagues out on the kerb. It was an unusual way to carry on a conversation, and occasionally bizarre conferences of medical scholarship would spontaneously spring up when he did so.Holmes had not adjusted so well.
