"He was not in the mood for surprises, but he could tell his dear older brother had one./Wonderful." - I love how the personality of the fic (and the protagonist) shines through in the very opening sentence. It's such a fun flavor
Goulash...okay now I'm hungry
Mycroft waited until he was about to swallow before he spoke to him. “Your ex-wife is in London.” - I'm cackling, this is SO Mycroft, vicious in perfect timing
"Only one man, only John, knew the truth." Ooh! Tantalizing
"He had let the man sitting in front of him rip her away from him. He needed to remember that." oh shit that gives their antagonism earlier, which I had previously just taken as funny, a darker edge
"Not after the way things ended. Not after what he had done when she had been driven off. Not after what she had done. She had to hate him, hate the very sight of him." Gawd the D R A M A !
"If he was lucky, maybe he’d get through them without getting hit." Not likely lol
