rachelindeed has a wonderful fic in Murder by Decree ‘verse! It’s written from Mycroft’s POV, and it’s so great to see Mycroft’s take on the situation, since he wasn’t present in the film.

This story is an in-depth character study of Mycroft, Sherlock, and John, and there are amazing insights on similarities and differences the Holmes brothers have. Even without watching the film it’s a pleasure to read. But if you watched and enjoyed the film, the fic will be a special treat!

The Sidney Paget twist was a surprise :)

Oh wow, thank you so much, both for reading it and for this lovely rec! Your kind words are much appreciated, and I'm so pleased you enjoyed the story :) I'm very fond of Murder by Decree, and also very fond of Mycroft, so it was one of those Holmestice assignments that turned out to be a treat for the writer as much as the recipient!

I think Mycroft is a very interesting contrast to Sherlock in the Canon, and you gave insights on that in your story :)
