Verse: Mycroft Holmes series (Abdul-Jabbar/Waterhouse)
Characters/Pairings: Mycroft Holmes & Cyrus Douglas
Rating: G
Warnings: n/a
Summary: I only started reading the Mycroft Holmes series because of the amazing fanwork of everyone from Holmestice. Thank you everyone for introducing me to a verse I now love dearly!

A friend and I picked out these Mycroft & Cyrus fancasts together. Mycroft is portrayed by Colin Morgan in The Happy Prince and Cyrus is portrayed by Chiwetel Ejiofor in Dancing on the Edge. It was pretty funny when I realized my Mycroft fancast's role was Bosie Douglas, but not as funny as realizing what Sherlockian role Ejiofor has played. I'll let you look that one up yourselves lol.
