sherolly. Molly is dating people and well Sherlock Holmes is jealous !

"Something about those tiny moments tell you that — this sounds odd, so you might have to winkle out exactly what I'm on about — but it's like those tiny, tiny moments make you feel like there's something else happening somewhere else." Loo Brealey, December 2016. Here's how I imagine them... starting with a game of 20 Questions (set after HLV).

Some secrets are better left buried. Especially in the Holmes family.

Just as Sherlock realises how much he cares for Molly as a friend, she ups and disappears without so much as a goodbye and Sherlock begins to think that he didn't know her at all. However, when a chance meeting at the mostly unlikeliest of places reveals the reason Molly left, Sherlock begins to see Molly as more than just his friend in the morgue. Set after Season 1 then AU.

With the Watson family growing fast, John busy with his practice and assisting Sherlock Holmes, and Mary's work for Lord Mycroft, there is a dire need for an extra pair of hands. But whocould possibly be clever enough to mind John and Mary's children, whilst standing up to the protective god-father Sherlock Holmes? None other than Molly Hooper. Warstan, Sherlolly, victorian!lock

Sherlock has made it quite clear that he's not boyfriend material, but that was before Molly needed to find a tactful way to avoid the attentions of a persistent admirer. Perhaps it's just a matter of semantics.

Molly wakes up one day in an alternate universe where Sherlock is no longer on the side of the angels. Cruel. Vindictive. Sadistic and easily bored…he's completely fascinated by the girl that randomly appeared in his bathtub.

Sherlock would always bring chaos, but he would always solve the case. With the whirlwind of people and pawns falling in the game Sherlock played Molly would always tell them when to fall. Unnoticed, never counted, she would fall too, someday, without thunder or a clatter of bones and skin. She'd fall in a whisper, and nobody would notice. Or maybe, they would...

One-shot based on a dream I had: Fed up of being left on the sidelines Molly leaves London, finds something unexpected when she has to come back for a conference.

He is a man with a purpose. He had spent most of his life honing, perfecting and mastering his powers so that he could show these mere mortals and his dear brothers who is the true king. He will conquer the world and make them bow before him. His word will be law and his will shall be done. Just as soon as this wretched witch who dresses in trousers, releases him.

Victorian London. During the four years in which I have traversed the kingdom alongside my friend, Sherlock Holmes, I have discovered him to be a man of aloof manner, incapable of any deep affection or real human attachment. That is, until I witnessed the near catastrophe brought about by his neglect of a message sent by a seemingly-insignificant young woman in Camden Town.

Three moments he watches her sleep, and one when he watches her wake. (itty bitty spoilers for Series Three; rated for later chapters)

When Sherlock interferes with Molly's sleep, things start to become a little tense.

When Thomas Adler sends his daughter to visit relatives in England, he imagines her younger cousin Molly Hooper will have a calming influence on the tempestuous beauty. The poor man. If only he realized that influence flows both ways.

"But alas, he is always too far from her. Most of the time it is only his back that she could see. She had tried running after him, but her slender legs were no match to his racing chariot. The sun god is simply out of her reach." [Sherlolly semi-AU]

Sherlock attempts navigating the murky waters towards a relationship with Molly. Too bad the biggest obstacles are Molly herself and the inability to know when the end doesn't exactly justify the means. (Follows 'A Creative Man')

Everyday, Sherlock walks the fine line between life and death. That is, until he meets Molly Hooper - the doctor of the dead who cares so much for life. Alternate Universe.

Howl's Moving Castle AU: Molly Hooper is a timid girl who works in a morgue all she wants is to be left alone, but unfortunately a curse by Irene Adler, the witch of the waste, has other plans in mind when she curses the poor girl into looking like an old woman and it's all because of Sherlock Holmes. Molly must go on a journey to find herself and break this unfortunate curse.

Prompt-fill for the glorious Bellarsam Chrisjulittle. Molly overhears Sherlock and John talking about how the detective feels for the pathologist. What Sherlock says is less-than-flattering and Molly decides that distancing herself from the Consulting Detective is what's best for everyone. But what if it's not? What if what Sherlock thought he wanted isn't what he wanted at all?

Sherlock must attend a high-society ball, undercover, and John will NOT go with him. Instead, he forces Sherlock to ask Molly. At the last minute, Sherlock decides that the best cover for them would be husband and wife-but will this bring trouble with their suspect, a man who seems to desire most the things he cannot have?

When Molly moves on Sherlock realizes all too late what has slipped through his fingers. Will he ever find the strength to let her go?
