Summary
What would you do if you had the chance to change history?
After dying in a dangerously overheated war-torn future not too far off from our own, an isolated young man is shocked to wake up in the Victorian era, a reincarnation which very much does not agree with any scientific theory he is aware of. There are upsides to this disappointment. He finds himself the older brother of one John Watson, and makes the acquaintance of the Holmes family, although he tries not to get too attached in case they get in the way of his goals, he isn't very successful.
In particular, there is the fact he knows one day Mycroft Holmes will work for the empire that he intends to fight, yet finds himself steadily growing more attached to him over the years... Even worse, he finds himself trying to befriend Mathematician Moriarty.
Includes war, rebellion, inventing cinematography and radio, and a shit ton of history.---
I wanted a time travel fic where someone tries to fight imperialism or make future tech, especially in the Victorian era, couldn't find any. Recs appreciated.
