Prompt: AUs or Crossovers (Non-Canon/Headcanon)
Rating: T
A/N: This is the Sherlolly/Jarene Movie Star AU that I've mentioned before on Tumblr. I just made it a little more Sherlolly and a little less Jarene. I also added a tiny bit of Warstan in this fic. Also part of my Secret Relationships are Fun! series.
I own nothing. Everything belongs to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, BBC, Steven Moffat, and Mark Gatiss. If I owned Sherlock and Molly Hooper, then there would be a lot more Sherlolly in the show. All mistakes are mine. Reviews and constructive criticism are welcome.
Sherlock smiled at the bespectacled young woman as he handed back her permanent marker and the photo that he just signed. "Thank you for coming! I hope you all enjoyed the film!" he shouted to the gathered fans as he waved at them.
He sauntered towards Irene's PA, Molly, who was chatting with his publicist, John, and his PA, Janine. Clearing his throat, he placed his hand on her upper back. "Take Janine and wait by the car," he spoke in a low voice. "The Watsons, Irene, and I will follow in a moment."
She looked up at him and smiled demurely. "Yes, Mr Holmes."
His heart raced faster when the glittering stone on Molly's ring brushed against the back of his hand on her way to the black limousine. He stuck his hands in his trouser pockets as he walked back towards Irene. "We need to go," he whispered to her.
Irene glanced at him and nodded. She turned to the fans. "We're very sorry, guys, but we have to go." She threw them a kiss and grinned. "Thank you so much for coming to the premiere! Take care and good night, everyone!" She waved their adoring fans goodbye.
Walking hand in hand towards the car, Sherlock smirked at their fans' reaction. "They really think we're dating, don't they?"
"They even gave us a couple nickname!" Irene laughed when he gave her a confused look. "They mashed our names together to create a name––'Sherene,' I believe––by which they call us."
"And how did you react when they told you the nickname?" he asked.
"Oh, I just laughed. Then I told them that you're a great kisser," Irene added with a wink as she slid into the car, following their publicists (who were also married to each other) and followed by Janine and Molly.
Laughing, Sherlock sat next to Molly. Once the car pulled out onto the road, he rolled up the tinted window on his side and removed a gold ring from his pocket. He smiled at Molly as he put it on his finger. He wrapped his arm round her waist and kissed her on the lips. "Are you all right?" he asked when they pulled apart.
She grinned at him. "Of course. A bit tired, but it's not a big deal."
"Do you want to skip the after-party?" he asked as he placed his hand on her belly.
"You're pregnant, Molls?"
Sherlock turned to the people sitting across them upon hearing Janine's voice. He smiled at John and Mary, who were too wrapped up in each other to notice the other four. He chuckled when he noted Irene and Janine's swollen lips and smudged lipstick, his co-star's hand on Janine's thigh, and the love bite on his PA's collarbone.
"Yeah," Molly answered, giggling and placing her hand over his. "I'm only in my first trimester, though, so we haven't actually told anyone."
"Oh, my God! Congratulations!" Janine covered her mouth to muffle her excited squeal.
Irene embraced Molly and planted a kiss on Sherlock's cheek. "Congratulations, my dearies."
"And congratulations to you as well." Sherlock nodded towards the gargantuan canary yellow diamond ring on his PA's finger.
Janine giggled as she glanced at her fiancée. "Thanks," the latter answered with a bright smile on her lips.
"You two are, of course, invited to the wedding."
Molly grinned at Irene. "Well, as your PA, I absolutely have to be there."
"We'd be honoured to witness your union. Have you set a date?" asked Sherlock.
"We're thinking of doing it on Irene's birthday weekend. You know, invite people to the party without telling them that it's going to be a wedding-slash-birthday party."
Sherlock nodded. "Don't you think celebrities are overusing that trick though? Paparazzi and gossip bloggers practically expect us to do that now."
Irene shrugged. "It works fine. As long as no one tattles to the press or on social media, of course. And it'll be a small affair, since only a handful of people know about our relationship." She took Janine's hand and smirked. "Hey, how would you two like to announce our marriage and Molly's pregnancy at the same time?"
"That's an excellent idea," Molly replied with a smile. "Thank you."
"Oh, the Sherene shippers will be devastated!" remarked Sherlock.
The partition rolled down to reveal Sally's face. "Sorry to interrupt, but we'll be at the hotel in a minute." She nodded at them before rolling up the partition again.
Sherlock tenderly kissed his wife on the lips. "Eat enough at the party, all right?" he reminded her. "And text me when you're ready to go home."
"Yes, I will." Molly gave him an affectionate smile. "I love you too."
Sherlock nodded at Molly and reluctantly slid his ring off his finger, just as the car stopped in front of the hotel. He replaced his ring in his trouser pocket before exiting the car.
Just in case it's confusing, Sherlock and Irene are the movie stars. And:
- Molly is Sherlock's wife and Irene's PA;
- Janine is Irene's fiancée and Sherlock's PA;
- John is Mary's husband and Sherlock's publicist;
- Mary is John's wife and Irene's publicist; and
- Sally is their bodyguard.
So what do you think? Hate it? Like it? Love it?
