Some of the characters (both Holmes brothers, plus anyone else author wants to include) are captured and being held prisoner. Escape is practically impossible, but Sherlock and company try anyway.
The kidnappers have given them two rules: 1) If anyone, excluding Mycroft, attempts to escape or acts out in any way, Mycroft gets punished for it. 2) If Mycroft attempts to escape or acts out in any way, everyone else gets punished for it.
Mycroft is the only person that has been told these rules, and if he tells anyone else of them, someone will be killed. Now, the rules wouldn't be that bad, except that Sherlock sure does like his escape plans...
Bonus if Mycroft manages to hide it all, until someone starts noticing his deteriorating health.
Mycroft whump. Punishment.
