Yep - Puppy is MAD is one of mine - credit is optional but use tv_boyfriends if you'd like.
It's why most people put her in the role of a career criminal, because it's the easiest way to have her be an adversary/opponent to Sherlock (as in the RDJ version) See the RDJ verse fans hate Irene there - and yet not a clue has been had...
As for the Moriarty is really mindfucking Mycroft -
Moriarty has been doing this for years. He's run across hints of Mycroft but as both are shadow players - neither can quite pindown the other. I think this is a game that has been going on for years.
Moriarty is definitely interested in Sherlock on his own. But Mycroft exposes himself by constantly putting men on 221B and summoning John. I think as a side effect of being interested in Sherlock, Moriarty hit the jackpot and found Mycroft.
The Great Game is most definitely directly aimed at Sherlock - as stated Moriarty gets bored too. But so much of 201 is Moriarty attacking Mycroft that it makes me see it earlier. The Great Game may have been about Sherlock, but being able to also hurt Mycroft would have been delicious.
Plus the look on Sherlock's face when he realizes that his big brother has "stolen" his arch-villain? He'll kill Moriarty for that alone!
And to loop back into shallow fandom after bashing it - the Mycroft/Moriarty hate!sex fic might actually be worth joining the fandom for...
