Oh my Goddddd, this was incredible. A long and brilliant Sherlock meta that I really hope everyone in fandom will read and enjoy:
M-Theory: Mycroft, Moriarty, and Magnussen’s shared motifs, James Bond’s “M,” Mary and Janine, and the big gay long game or here on AO3 (85,989 words) by Loudest-Subtext-In-Television
This author is my hero. This is such a transformative and persuasive piece, particularly if you like Mycroft or Moriarty. It covers everyone’s motivation and background dealings in a gripping, fascinating, and very easily readable way, explaining pretty much everything that may have been confusing about the show (including perplexing elements in “The Blind Banker” and “His Last Vow,” and also the identity of “theimprobableone”!).
I’ll never be able to watch the show in the same way; this meta has added so much more depth to it. I’m desperate for a fic author to lay out some or all of these ideas in a story now. :)
