I consider this very definitely an AU. Most of my stuff could be shoved into some twisted version of canon compliance. Indeed, most of my stuff plays with various different ways you could color in the vast gaps in canon to create different pictures. This one, though, to me seems at the very least, unlikely. The bottom line is I consider the odds of Mycroft being a virgin OR celibate comparatively slim. Even accepting that Sherlock is wrong about many things, the two brothers seem to be in unhappy conflict over the fact that Mycroft is not a virgin or celibate, but actively gay, and Sherlock at least appears to have started the show celibate. That said, some of the discussion of shyness, introversion, and hypersensitivity left me wondering about building an AU in which Mycroft knew his orientation, and was comfortable with it--but too shy, reserved, and hyperreactive to have done anything about it barring some preliminary activities that upset him. So this is a late-life Mycroft is a virgin story set in an adventure. It is proving too big, so I may need to work it out over the week. I expect maybe three total posts.
