Five Happy Memories Trio-verse Mycroft Has 1. When Sherlock and Trevelyan were learning to read and write, Mummy made them practice by writing to Mycroft at school. Sherlock's letters were hostile ('Mummy says I hav to rite to you. I am bored. The babby is stupid'), and Trevelyan's were factual ('I have glassis. I dont lyke them.'). Mycroft always enjoyed getting them and keeping up the correspondence and seeing how his brothers were improving and changing as time went on. He's not the type to have kept the letters, but he remembers the contents of many of them.
2. It's an odd happy memory, but when Mummy was pregnant with Trevelyan, she was very sick with morning sickness, and Mycroft had to take charge of Sherlock one day when she was at the end of it and needed to stay in bed. Sherlock was extremely put out by this, and so Mycroft built a sort of blanket fort in the library and read Sherlock some stories, and showed him how to make a tornado in a jar. It ended up being a quite pleasant morning for them, if not for Mummy. Mycroft also has a lot of fond memories of Sherlock's interpretation of how pregnancy worked, and what the baby was doing in Mummy's stomach and how it had got in and would get out of there when it was 'done'.
3. Driving to the beach house in Nice, and being half-asleep in the backseat and listening to Mummy and Father talking in the front seat. This was before Sherlock and Trevelyan. Once they came along, it was impossible to sleep in any seat in the car. Or out of it, for that matter.
4. After dinner music sessions, both when he was a child and as an adult. He never learned to play an instrument, but he always enjoys listening to a family member play. There are certain pieces of music that always make him happy because they were family favourites that he heard so often growing up.
5. Trevelyan's degree ceremony when he left Cambridge. Mycroft was very proud of him for being the only one of them who finished a doctorate, especially considering how much he'd been through since Father's death. It also came after Sherlock started to get his life together, and so it seemed as though it was an emerging from the other side of a difficult period. Sherlock didn't make it to the ceremony, but managed to stop in to the celebration later on, and it was the first time all three brothers had had a pleasant (if awkward) gathering in some time. Mummy was pleased they were all there.
