Doctorin' the TARDIS (Part Three)
Summary: Saying goodbye is never easy. Even for the Holmes’ brothers.
Rating: G
A/N - The original one word prompt request – “TARDIS” for Sherlolly, from @dmollyc. However, I decided I wanted to write a sequel, so …
The title comes from the 1988 song from The Timelords/The KLF. If you haven’t heard it, you should definitely look it up if you’re a fan of cheesy novelty pop songs and Doctor Who.
Doctorin’ the TARDIS (Part Three)
Mycroft understood long before Sherlock finished explaining where Molly had disappeared to for those eleven months. He had routinely received reports from UNIT and Torchwood over the years and was well acquainted with the whims of the Doctor. “As per the usual protocols, arrangements will be made to provide assistance for your reintegration once you and Ms Hooper return. Whenever that may be. When do you leave?”
Trust the British government to already have protocols prepared for that sort of thing. “Somehow Molly managed to convince the Doctor to give us a few hours.”
“Not very long at all, then. Not enough time to visit Mummy and Father to tell them in person.”
“Surely you can do that.” The thought of looking his mother in the eye while Sherlock told them he was leaving yet again was utterly unappealing. “Tell them ... Tell them about Molly. Father will understand.”
Mycroft nodded, silently agreeing. Their father was a romantic at heart. “And our sister?”
“Probably best not to mention Molly to her.” Sherlock glanced at his watch. “I’ve got to go. Goodbye, Mycroft.”
Mycroft whispered to himself as he watched Sherlock leave. “Until we meet again, I will miss you, brother mine.”
