Sherlock Holmes stuff

Such a fine gentlemen

Therefore, whenever Sherlock needs to work on a group project for school, the kids end up in Mycroft's house. Sherlock likes having people over, so he's happy with the arrangement. Mycroft is a responsible if overbearing host, and he is always there to monitor and get the kids to behave and to provide drinks and snacks (and he often helps with the schoolwork).

One day, seventeen year old Sherlock calls Mycroft and declares that he needs to work on a history project with two other kids after school. Mycroft is extremely busy dealing with a crisis involving North Korea, and tells him that they'll need to work on the project some other day, but Sherlock replies that the project is due tomorrow. After telling his brother off for waiting until the last minute to work on the project (and blaming himself for having let this happen), Mycroft contacts the other kids' parents, but they're all working and unavailable for baby-sitting.

Mycroft decides that he has no choice : he and the entire North Korea crisis team will have to set up their general quarters in his home - that way, he would be able to work and look after his little brother.

The kids are surprised when they arrive at the house and see Mycroft's team, and they ask Sherlock what's going on. Sherlock explains that Mycroft rules over the world, and these are his people. They're probably starting a war. Mycroft rolls his eyes and says that they're just doing some routine geopolitical analysis for the British Government in a minor capacity, and orders Sherlock and the kids to pay no attention to them and get started on their own work.

Sherlock and the kids work on the dining room table, while Mycroft and his team work in the drawing room and the basement. Mycroft frequently checks in on the teens, and so does his PA (who is happy to bring them drinks and snacks).

Yes, there are times when Sherlock sincerely wonders if Mycroft actually knows that he's an adult. (And there's a part of Mycroft that is incapable of believing that Sherlock is an adult.)

Mycroft, who hasn't even Sherlock yet: No he's not. His experiment failed and he has a concussion from that. SHERLOCK! HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU TO CALL ME FOR THAT

John: WHAT?! How do you even know that? Another bug?

Mrs Hudson: His Sixth Sherlock Sense Activated

Lestrade: Plus, Sherlock is actually in his room. He's never in there

Anthea: And usually when he doesn't pick Mycroft's call he cuts it and messages instead, but it rang until Mycroft cut it instead. Sherlock can't stand ringtones though.

Stamford: You should have known, John. Why do you think you're here?

John: You just... Know all that? All of you? And that he had a concussion?

Sherlock, who is already unhappy that his big brother will go to university, is absolutely horrified at the thought of Mycroft moving so far away. He makes quite a scene.
