#Victorian Molly Hooper

Two beautiful quotes from jane Austen's books for victoriansherlolly 🔥

[lisbeth-kk]

Sherlock fandom.

Silvery Witchcraft

It is of course not a secret. Not per se. I don’t hide my true identity. It has more to do with what people observe. Or believe, I suppose. Coming to terms with the fact that the paranormal is real doesn't sit well with most people. Therefore, I always find it amusing when someone calls me a witch. Little do they know…

I took my time when I got to choose my appearance and colours. An image of an elderly, fragile-looking lady filled my mind. She fit my favourite colours perfectly. Purple and silver. 

My place of residence had already been chosen for me. 221 Baker Street, London. Such a pretty place. Victorian. Reminded me of my childhood. I immediately set about furnishing the place. 221A would serve as my quarters. I decorated it as a woman my supposed age would. Lots of lace curtains, antimacassars, velvet cushions, a Persian carpet, and mahogany furniture. I hid the modern kitchen appliances in old, almost ancient ones. My cooking and baking would not suffer because of an unpredictable oven, thank you very much!

I didn’t bother with 221C at first but moved upstairs. 221B was going to be rented out. I needed to earn a living. Keeping up appearances and all that nonsense. The flat was quite spacious and had two bedrooms. The empty space got my full attention, and I chose carefully. My intention was for it to look as if the previous tenants had left it fully furnished. 

The walls were covered with creamy-coloured wallpaper and a black lily pattern. Two mismatched chairs, one in worn, but exquisite leather, the other a faded red upholstery one, were positioned by the fireplace. Although they looked old, they weren’t. 

I used quite a few moments to get the bathroom and kitchen just to my liking. The space was scarce, but by using my silver sparks, my secret weapon, I got everything to fit without it seeming cramped. Letting the rooms expand unnoticed by the users, was quite a challenge.

***

My first tenant was Mycroft Holmes’ little brother, Sherlock. Witchcraft is surprisingly fully recognised by the British government. Not publicly, of course, and only a handful of ministries are aware of its existence.

Mycroft summoned me to the Diogenes club, and almost begged me to save his brother.

“He won’t listen to reason,” he sighed. “I have tried everything. You are his last chance, or he will end up dead under one of London’s bridges.”

Mycroft Holmes is just as much of a drama queen as his brother, but this time he wasn’t far off. I saw it in the lines around his eyes and mouth.

Arrangements were made, and I literally served my fake mafia husband to Sherlock on a silver plate. We got on like a house on fire after that.

Sherlock immediately fell in love with 221B, and he moved in the day after we returned from Florida and the execution. I hadn’t felt so alive in centuries!

“You will need a flatmate,” I told him after a while. “It’s too lonely for you. Don’t you roll your eyes at me, young man. I hear you during the wee hours. Playing your violin and pacing. A loyal companion is what you need.”

“Who would want me for a flatmate, Hudders?” he asked.

My heart nearly broke at that. Sherlock had become like a son to me, and I hated to see his loneliness. Few people were able to look behind his haughty façade. Greg Lestrade, Mike Stamford, and Molly Hooper being the exceptions. And me and Mycroft, obviously.

“Talk to Mike Stamford,” I urged him. “He will keep an eye out, and he certainly won’t pull someone like Sebastian Wilkes out of his sleeve.”

***

Before Sherlock left for Barts on January 29, I sent some silver sparks after him. For a moment, too brief for the human eye to discern, it lit him up, making him appear even more handsome. Not that he needed it. It was more for good luck, which he might have needed. It was difficult to use my magic on him due to his unpredictability and that monster of a brain.

The moment I laid eyes on John Watson, after Sherlock’s unprecedented hug, I knew he was just the one to share 221B with the genius detective. I didn’t even consider using my magic on him. He was already perfect for Sherlock. I just had to make sure that Sherlock didn’t push John away when he made his move to inquire about his romantic life and orientation.

Fans of Mark Gatiss know that he's a hardcore horror girly and his most formative experiences of the genre is with the high aesthetic atmospheric horror of the Hammer films.

Which makes the vibe of BBC Sherlock make all the more sense given that plot-wise it was effectively a police procedural/detective drama (to quote Honest Trailers "It's 'Law and Order' rules, folks!") But it never /feels/ like that while you're watching it.

It's because it borrows so much of the visual styling, story beats, and even sound design from atmospheric horror films of the 60s and 7Os while telling a modern version of a Victorian era character.

The mid-century aesthetics are almost like a stepping stone between the two time periods that helps it gel together.

BBC Sherlock isn't just a modern retelling of the Sherlock Holmes books- it's a horror retelling as well. And the ultimate proof of this concept lies in the only totally original regular character in the show: Molly Hooper.

If we could just start with the aesthetic of Molly Hooper...

Feminine colors in modest cuts- Fashionable in a very mid-century vintage way and in stark contrast to basically every other character. And it largely goes unnoticed at how differently Molly is styled because at the time "Twee" fashion was seeing a surge in popularity and Louise Brealey was already pretty much on the vanguard of that trend in her personal style before being cast on the show.

But costumes are choices, deliberate ones made by creators. I think this choice was meant to evoke a specific trope in all our minds.

Molly is indeed the only original character in a show the creators swore would not have any original characters. And why would they? How would they? Throw new characters into an adaptation that has a cult following that spans longer than a century?

What kind of original character could hold up against literal literary icons?!

One built on a classic trope, Mark Gatiss's very own favorite horror trope: The Final Girl.

We almost know her right away when we see her- the clever, resourceful, modest (brunette!) and almost as soon as she turns up, she's unwittingly used by the central villain to get close to Sherlock.

She aids Sherlock in his clandestine activities and seems to be his source for the body parts he experiments with and earns his trust enough to play a central role in faking his death. Then ultimately is trapped unknowingly in a SAW style house of horrors scenario wherein every other participant up to that point had been brutally killed.

She lived to tell the tale.

She ticks every box on the Final Girl check list, right down to the cardigan, high ponytail and tweed skirt of the smart one in a group of young campers who *doesn't* have shower sex while there's a mad killer on the loose.

If the story were told from her perspective, it would be a horror and she would be the final girl.

Her presence as a character cements the horror atmosphere and makes it feel natural instead of corny but also doesn't oversell it past the point of overshadowing the detective genre aesthetics.

In fact she blends in so well she, and everything she represents, almost slips passed the audience unnoticed- the way all final girls survive.

I know I should be sharing something related to the ILY scene in TFP since it’s 8th (how??) anniversary is today, but sadly I have nothing new lol. Instead I wanted to share a one shot I just reposted that’s a few years old that I really liked. This is a missing scene between Sherlock and Molly in HLV, but it’s a Victorian au. It also happens to hold the record of how many prompts I filled within a single one shot. 😂 click the ao3 link below and I hope you guys enjoy it!

Goodbye, Molly Hooper

💝 Of Scars and Revelations by @catlock-holmes for Holmestice Winter 2023 (I MaDe A BaNnEr FoR YoU!!!)

Sherlock has returned from his presumed death, but he isn't the same he used to be, after experiencing torture and trauma. His friendship with John isn't the same either, can they rekindle their friendship, or maybe even become something completely new? Maybe a stay at a hotel after a case could help them rediscover their bond. LOVE THIS SO MUCH !!!! 💖😍🎁 John & Sherlock finally GeT SoMe!!!! (SleEp ThaT iS!!!) haha, baths, only one bed, hurt/comfort, with plenty of feELs!!! 💋

🎁 Knitting Needles Out by @fluffbyday-smutbynight

🎁 Shared Proximity by @fluffbyday-smutbynight for Holmestice Open Promptfest Winter 2021

“As ever, you see but you do not observe. Our respective lives are so enmeshed together, that such labels - like flatmates or colleagues or, yes, even friends - evidently fall short. Partners might do it, and it’s not a coincidence that it’s a stand-in for couple.”A definition might prove necessary, but still not enough in itself. What's the next step?

💝 (Full) Contact With Nature by @fluffbyday-smutbynight

Sherlock puts all his weight on him pushing him back on the ground, and simultaneously catches John’s arms and pins them down ...

[gregorovitch-adler]

20 Questions for Fic Writers!

Thanks for tagging me, @calaisreno !

1.) How many works do you have on AO3?

-> 69. It's been almost two years since I entered the world of fic writing. Enjoying my time!

2.) What's your current AO3 word count?

-> 204,949.

3.) What fandoms do you write for?

-> I've written for BBC Sherlock, Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle, Harry Potter, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, and Good Omens, so far.

4.) Top five fics by kudos?

Mysterious Cheekbones

A 'Brief' Case

We're Not a Couple!

Wounded

5.) Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

-> I respond to all the comments, sometimes to say thanks, sometimes to elaborate on something. I love responding to comments, and receiving new comments always brings me joy (obviously).

6.) What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

-> The Fall , I think. Although there are quite a few, but this one is the saddest.

7.) What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

-> I mostly write happy endings, so it was a bit difficult to choose. But I think Whisper.

8.) Do you receive hate?

-> Not hate, exactly but rude comments, sometimes. Including bots. But that's also rare.

9.) Do you write smut?

-> Yeah, sometimes. I've written porn both with and without plot. It's fun.

10.) Do you write crossovers?

-> I've written two crossovers by now. One was BBC Sherlock/Harry Potter and the other one was BBC Sherlock/Better Call Saul.

Sherlock/HP: The Hidden Side of London.

Sherlock/Better Call Saul: Better Call Sherlock.

11.) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

-> I don't think so.

12.) Have you ever had a fic translated?

-> Yes, three times. Twice in Russian and once in Chinese.

13.) Have you co-written a fic before?

15.) A WIP you doubt you'll ever finish?

-> I've been meaning to complete A Fashionable Doctor for a long time, but I didn't get back to it for some reason. Not abandoning it, but yeah. It's a slice of life, fluffy fic. Alternate Universe - Different First Meeting. Pairing: Molly Hooper/Irene Adler. I will finish it, eventually.

16.) Writing strengths?

Characterisation.

Dialogue.

Realism in dark topics.

Descriptions in action packed scenes.

17.) Writing weaknesses?

I struggle to write descriptions when I have to set a scene. I'm an impatient writer, and I find it painfully boring.

Sometimes I tend not to follow the "Show, don't tell" rule. I've been trying to avoid this thing in my current WIPs, though.

I sometimes don't have the patience to write anything more than a drabble-length fic.

18.) Will you write dialogue in another language?

-> Haven't done that before, but I might, if I wanted to. Preferably in one of the 3 languages I speak.

19.) What was your first fandom?

-> BBC Sherlock. I started writing in January 2022.

20.) What's your favourite fic that you've ever written?

-> It was a tough choice between two or three works, but I'd say Superficial Wound, Deep Feelings. This is the first fic I wrote in the Victorian era style (for ACD canon fandom). Canon compliant to The Adventure of the Three Garridebs. Bittersweet ending.

Tagging: @helloliriels @topsyturvy-turtely , @lookingforlifeoutthere, @keirgreeneyes , @totallysilvergirl, etc.

Round 3

Propaganda under the cut

Erina Pendleton

Erina is SO MUCH MORE than just a "Generic Love Interest" that was brought in the story to continue the bloodline after everything that happens (and it's made abundantly clear time and time and TIME AGAIN that she means everything to Jonathan, to a point that she was his exact reason to standing up against Dio for the first time) but without fail she's only ever allowed to be the supportive best friend. Or a wingman for Jonathan and whoever he's being shipped with. Or simply supposed to sit there and allow her husband to have a male lover (the amount of posts I've seen of ppl using the excuse that 'it was very common back in the Victorian Era for men to keep male lovers that their wives were aware of and quietly accepted so it isn't a stretch to say that Erina and Jonathan wouldn't be the same--especially given how progressive she's written". Or of course my favorite when they completely erase her from the narrative and pretends she doesn't exist Jonathan's got their son for some reason, but nope she ain't there! 

a lot of times ppl who ship her CANON HUSBAND jonathan joestar with speedwagon will put her on the back burner of HER OWN CANON RELATIONSHIP in favor of propping up jonawagon, to the point where 90% of the archive for jonawagon/jonawagon(eri) is either erina giving jonathan and speedwagon consent to be happy together while she acts like a #LoveIsLove wingman OR they'll have the audacity to write fics where erina comforts speedwagon at HER HUSBAND'S FUNERAL

Our hero’s hot wife who was the first (and arguably) only person to give him the emotional support he needed. She’s the only person who never expects him to fulfill some mythical role, she just loves him for who he is. She’s been his best friend and the love of his life since he was 12 years old. When it comes to hero/sidekick ship, she’s forced to be a wing woman for her own husband, either nobly letting him go or peacefully agreeing to an open relationship but only for him!!! She gets nothing out of it, she’s just a good Victorian wife who is “ahead of her time”. Usually, just so she can provide a womb so that the hero/sidekick can be dads and she can conveniently be offscreen. OR she’s written as a lesbian in order to completely and “justifiably” take her out of the equation but there’s a.) no other woman in her vicinity to even ship her with b.) there’s vaguely some faceless, nameless woman we’re meant to assume she’s pursuing, not even a real OC for her.

Molly Hooper

She's in love with Sherlock, and in fandom she's just considered annoying. Listen, I don't ship them but jesus christ

Honestly I thought her relationship with Sherlock way too abusive (he treated her so badly wth) to turn into a healthy romantic one but the Johnlock shippers were super nasty to the actress -I think she even received dead threats ??? Over playing a fictional character ??? Just because people shipped two dudes ???- and the character deserved better personal development that didn't revolve around her unresolved crush for the main character

Set up as a romantic partner for Sherlock. Often gets shit on for being in the way of Johnlock.

Throwback Thursday, Fandom Edition: "I didn't come here to debate the nature of identity with you."

Jekyll showcases some of Steven Moffat’s weaknesses as a writer as well as some of his strengths, but when I first saw the miniseries in 2011, I thought that it was an amazingly brilliant take on a classic story with which I was quickly becoming obsessed. 

I took a lot of notes as I watched the first episode...

...and the second...

...and all the way to the end.

I wrote almost 14,000 words of Jekyll fanfic over the next year, including several crossovers, and you can find most of it on AO3.  I also collaborated on a fusion with Moffat’s other retelling of a Victorian classic.

Although I first talked about the basic foundations of “Jekyllock” with another friend, @ellekess and I ultimately took the story and ran with it.  In that AU, Jim Moriarty had been Sherlock’s murderous alter ego, sharing and occasionally transforming his body, since childhood.  Mycroft knew about Jim but kept his existence a secret from Sherlock.  Eventually, in the series timeline, John and Sherlock pieced together the truth.

Throughout 2012 and for a little while after, Elle and I wrote scenes as they occurred to us, out of sequence, and emailed them back and forth.  Sometimes we texted each other in character as John and Mycroft, or Jim and pretty much anyone.  (We both really loved writing in his voice.)  I vividly recall scribbling one scene on public transit – I can’t find the draft now, but it involved Molly Hooper finding out what was going on – in a burst of creative energy that I still find remarkable to this day.  I also remain delighted by the interactions that Elle wrote between Jim and Mycroft, in particular.  (“I have no wish to hear about your urges, James.”)

I loved exploring this AU, and I loved working on it together with someone who was equally invested.  Even after we moved on to other fannish interests, and although I don’t know whether we’ll ever share everything that we wrote, Elle and I have always looked back on our Jekyllock project fondly, and we still do.

What is your favorite winter holiday decoration? If you feel comfortable can you post a picture and explain why. Do you think your favorite characters have favorite decorations?

hey there! (what nickname do you have? ... or do i have to make one up? 😜)

iiii... have no idea? i'm not big on decorating tbh. i like nature stuff and candles. so probably a traditional advent wreath and stuff like that. as long as it isn't angels or anything else tacky 🤢

oooh wait! i also fucking love my little incense bowl!!! i got it from a very sweet lady when i worked in her pottery shop in my high school years for my mandatory internship. it is my favorite color and the incense mixes smell AMAZING. so yeah. i'll go with that!

here is a picture (that you asked for otherwise i would have posted this ask earlier)

my favourite characters' favourite christmas decorations and traditions (headcanons)

my guess is john watson really likes decorations. obviously he is the one getting decorations for christmas and any other holiday for the 221b flat. he keeps it simple and traditional. he likes mistletoes (remind him of his mother), simple red christmas bulbs (shiny but no fancy drawing on it or sth), he loves stockings and he LOVES wearing his Christmas sweater. he got it from either his mom or harry, his sister (he forgot, and honestly he doesn't care)

sherlock's favorite christmas decoration is john in his christmas sweater of course ;)

otherwise sherlock ignores christmas and EVERY ANNOYING LITTE THING that comes along with it. (except of course john humming Christmas carols, john smiling when receiving a gift, john making a fire, john making horrible cinnamon tea... anything john)

harry watson fucking loves making christmas tea; she craves for some amaretto in it but she had sobered up and sure as hell won't get down that path again! instead she swears on christmas cookies and makes hundreds of them. she is not the one who got john his cute christmas sweater because she is all in for ugly Christmas sweaters. harry also loves the lights on christmas trees.

molly hooper loves christmas with all of her. she is excited for it all year. she loves stockings and gifting almost everyone she knows something. in november she already got all christmas presents wrapped up with cute little cards hanging from them. her favourite decoration is the mistletoe and whenever she is invited to a christmas party she scans the room for it. and at some point she'll stand "accidentally" underneath it. secretly she hopes to find the love of her life that way. (in reality she doesn't even get one kiss...) (oh wait so she stops at some point in her early 20s with this "silly dream" of hers and then some magical night when she is in her 30s/40s the most handsome man she has ever seen (it is not sherlock) sees her underneath a mistletoe and kisses her... they fall in love and live happily ever after :D) (do not disagree with me molly deserves the whole world and more)

mrs. hudson loves ALL the lights! on the houses on the trees... everywhere! but! she doesn't like it when people overdo it. (she herself totally overdoes it completely though). she loves all the sweets and she loves christmas movies (especially the ones with "those handsome actors"). cinnamon is not only her favorite thing to bake with but also her favorite decoration. she loves her christmas bulbs she was gifted from her nieces and nephews. and their kids' Christmas bulbs. (they look kind of ugly but... she doesn't care)

should i do other fandoms as well? good omens? skulduggery pleasant? wednesday?

what do you turtles think? do you agree? disagree? what would say is different? any ideas for other characters? @helloliriels @safedistancefrombeingsmart @a-victorian-girl @gregorovitchworld @totallysilvergirl?

➤ @storyuntrue asked: [ARRANGED MARRIAGE] / sherlock to molly, victorian setting cause i am weak for that sorta stuff agshdjf

  Molly inwardly groaned. She was a woman of medicine, not a woman of marriage. Especially when it's being forced upon you. Her parents had discussed the matter of their daughter — Molly — getting married, they'd put it off for so long just to see if it'd eventually happen... but no. It didn't. There were no callers, no one requesting her. Though, when you thought about it, who could blame them? She read books and pet her cat more than go to events and meet people.

  ...But then her parents introduced him to her. Sherlock Holmes. He was already quite infamous for his detective work, along with his partner; Doctor Watson. They'd been featured in the morning papers plenty of times, and they'd even crossed paths on some occasions. He was really quite handsome, and maybe Molly harboured a little bit of a crush, but it was nothing other than that. He usually tended to look at people with disdain if they weren't on some sort of level with him. Was she? Maybe in terms of medicinal knowledge, but... well.

  It wasn't like that mattered at the moment, did it? Their parents had clearly been in talk with one another, and thus; this was the outcome of it. Molly Hooper, sat there with her hair tied up in a loose bun; strands tickling at her face as if to lightly frame it, her hands gripping at her skirts to stop them from fidgeting... him sitting across from her with a cup of tea in his hands, looking at her as if to examine her, to be put under his scrutiny.

  Sucking in a breath, she attempts to make some form of conversation, ❝I... um... I assume you had no idea of this arrangement, mister Holmes?❞ And right after the words left her mouth, she was mentally cursing herself. Who'd start a conversation like that with a man like him? A very smart and intelligent individual— for God's sake, Molly.

Pomp and Circumstance

(wip for the September Fluffbruary Extended Edition)

Distracting myself from nail biting and hair pulling, while I wait for my beta to give feedback on the next chapter of my FTH fic, by writing.

Three snippets from three of the characters.

Mycroft Holmes was the epitome of everything subtle, elegant and sophisticated. Not since university had anyone seen him in anything but his three-piece- suit. He’d practised fencing for years, but he hadn’t touched his fencing sword since Alastair drowned on holiday in the Caribbean. They’d been fencing partners since their teens, and Alastair’s demise was a terrible loss. The grieving of his friend and lover was postponed by another soul in need. Sherlock.

***

Greg Lestrade was the exact opposite of Mycroft Holmes; straightforward, plain, hot-tempered. No elegance or sophistication detected. At least not for ordinary people. Much like John Watson, Greg went unnoticed by the crowds. Only at work did he shine. Not according to Donovan and Anderson, but to his superiors. His solving rate sky-rocketed the second he allowed Sherlock Holmes to attend his crime scenes.

***

Molly Hooper has always, always fallen in love with the wrong men. Either they were married, arseholes, or gay. Normally, she got over them after a few months, and when her eyes caught another man to pine over, her previous infatuation was instantly forgotten. It went on for years, and it was fine. She knew she would be satisfied with crumbs of what was allotted to her when the men in question looked in her direction, and on rare occasions established contact. It only lasted for so long, though. Until she met Sherlock Holmes.

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Hi library angel! I have a question regarding TAB. I was wondering whether it's been discussed why in Sherlock's fever dream, Hooper thinks that Holmes is Watson's daddy?

Hey Nonny!

AHHHHHH I KNOW that there was something back in the day, be damned if I could find it now...

But here's my interpretation:

We have to remember that everything in the Victorian era happening is in Sherlock's head, so this is his interpretation of how Molly is towards John.

Now, one could speculate it's because Sherlock wants to be John's Daddy, but the way Hooper says it is sarcastic and condescending, meaning Sherlock actually has picked up the underlying hostility John and Molly have with each other due to their mutual jealousy of each other having Sherlock's attention.

I think the actual truth is, especially with Watson immediately "deducing" that Hooper is a woman but Holmes apparently didn't, is that Sherlock wants John to be HIS daddy, LOL. The way John stands up for himself and essentially eviscerates Hooper for talking down to him, "asserting his dominance" is John, in Sherlock's mind, showing Hooper who the "daddy" actually is.

Or something like that, LOL.

I love TAB to bits.

So...The Abominable Bride is on PBS 13 right now, and the morgue scene with cross-dressing Molly just came on. I don't care what people say but this acid trip of Sherlock's is so fucking entertaining.

Notice Sherlock didn't talk back to Hooper and just takes it. He does to Lestrade and Watson, but not to Hooper. Certainly gives an insight to how he thinks of Molly (especially after her three slaps lol)

Edit: Aaaaaand I'm going to go try and dig up any Victorian AU fics go read or reread now.
