Sherlolly prompts that have been filled as of 12/1/22

A quick reminder - even though these prompts have been filled, please feel free to fill them again. The more the merrier!

Authors and artists have filled fifty-three different prompts - some multiple times - all of which are listed below under the “Keep Reading”.

1) Art prompt: (I’ve wanted this like burning for five years, I’ll never give up asking) Sherlock and Molly, the cake scene from Sixteen Candles". Only in the morgue and Molly’s wearing the lab coat. - @sunken-standard (Prompt fill - Sherlolly // Sixteen Candles by @simplyshelbs16xoxo) (Prompt fill – Sixteen Scandals by artbylexie, commissioned and submitted by @mizjoely) (Prompt Fill – Birthday Party in the Morgue by @dragonnan)

2) “We had chips. She liked me.” – Sherlock in TLD. What could have been had he and Molly gotten chips in TEH: A kick to Tom’s butt. Happy greeting (a hug at least!) at the end of TEH. Quite a lot of sex with Sherlock instead of Tom. Molly the best man’s date. A (sophisticated. Or not) Molly/Janine cat fight for Janine hitting on SH moments. Dancing, so much Sherlolly dancing (and no leaving early). Probably no Shezza (Shezzer?)—which, hmm, is a shame (But maybe they’ve their own not-being-on-a-sex-holiday-but-sexing-a-lot time). A real proposal to Molly. Molly at family Christmas, maybe even a Christmas wedding. Solving CAM without the threat of exile sharpens Sherlock’s deductive abilities. No Norbury as Molly’s already expecting their first offspring, so Sherlock doesn’t taunt needlessly. Mary as the Sherlolly baby godmother as she’s alive! Culverton Smith is taken down by the duo of Mary and Molly while the latter gives birth there (because the ladies are awesome, plus Mrs H tackles him down). John is so impressed he doesn’t look at any other women. Molly’s big heart brings Eurus from her metaphoric plane the moment she steps into 221B, plus baby Holmes wins her heart too. The Holmes family reconciliation and Eurus is in therapy instead of being a multi-killer. Baker Street Boys Team continues while Baker Street Girls Team gives them a run for their money. Mycroft asks Lady Smallwood out himself to her astonishment and internal squealing. Mummy Holmes gets more grandkids than she could’ve imagined. And basically, everyone walks happily into the sunset. The End. Please note, some things can obviously be modified. - @mychakk (Prompt fill - Turn Right by @sunken-standard)

3) AU: Molly runs away from home when her parents try to arrange a marriage for her. She wants to pursue a life that involves science and marry for love if she ever gets married at all. She meets Sherlock, who is being pressured by his family to marry a nice girl they found for him who loves science as much as he does. It will be interesting when they figure it out. - @shadowyqueenbeard (Prompt fill - Uncertain Terms by @geekmama)

4) Uni!lock Sally wakes Molly at 2 am because her junkie boyfriend of dorm 221b is streaking across campus calling her name, so she better stop denying that she’s his girlfriend. - @escaily (Prompt fill – Like Night and Day by afteriwake)

5) Rock Royalty AU. That AU in which Mary drags Molly into an edgy rock concert of her favorite band “Baker Street Boys” even though everybody and their mother knows that indie acoustics and hippie music is Molly’s thing. Enter Sherlock Holmes lead band member, (the type of Rock Star that sings ‘Wanted Dead or Alive’ while high as a kite) famous for his electric violin solos, addict past and cold attitude. He tries deducing the girl less likely to throw herself at him out of all the fans and finding that one concert goer who doesn’t get turned on by his music. Turns out that Molly the ‘I-said-I’m-not-a-groupie’ pathologist in training is actually an interesting girl when she’s not covering her ears, even if Sherlock needs to educate her on the finger points of violin appreciation. Basically a fic where the Rockstar wants to turn this hater into a fan but actually ends up falling for her instead. - @escaily (Prompt fill – Untitled Tumblr post by @welcometothelosingside)

6) The Do Over/ Time Travel Sherlolly fic that I NEED. Let’s pretend that a destroyed Molly went to sleep the night of the infamous phone call wishing she could do it all over again, and overnight she wakes up back in Season 1 first ep. If you could get a do over, erase all the bad things that have ever happened with the person you’ve always loved, even if it meant never having the good, would you do it? Especially if said person just broke your trust over the phone. The moment with the riding crop, all the late nights at the morgue, chose to avoid that awful Christmas party (showed up with a boring date), change shifts the day ‘Jim from IT’ asked her out and not offer her help when Sherlock needed to fake his death. Of course, fate still keeps throwing her together with Sherlock no matter what she tries. “You’re not MY Sherlock, you wouldn’t understand,” she whispered at last. “And what did your version of me have that I don’t?” “Many things, I know you think you can’t be a better person, but my Sherlock was.” Or something around those lines where slightly-younger Sherlock feels jealous of TFP Sherlock, because in any version of history Sherlock will always end up falling in love with Molly and she’s already so attuned to his quirks that he resents the ‘other him’ for having so much time with her. - @escaily (Prompt fill – In a Time Lapse by @aloneiswhatihave1895 (katybaggins))

7) Spy AU : “Your agency and my agency are constantly competing and why do you keep taking over my missions?” - @noregretsnoteasnoanxieties (Prompt fill – At The Risk Of Falling (Off Roofs) by @lyssisbored)

8) Royalty AU : “We’ve been engaged to be married since we were three but this is first time we’ve met and your portraits really don’t do you justice.” - @mousedetective (Prompt fill – I Feel Strange by @mizjoely)

9) Your soulmate was an artist of centuries ago, and currently, you’re an art student at university (or not but you’re taking an arts class). Then one day for a field trip, you go to a far-away museum and you just find yourself staring at what was your reflection, wearing different clothes to fit the timeline but it was definitely a split-image of you, on one of the framed displays. (A fanart answer for this prompt would also be awesome!) - @noregretsnotearsnoanxieties (Prompt fill - A Soul Captured on Canvas by @mizjoely) (Prompt Fill – A Favorite Model by @theresadunn)

10) Person A owns a flower shop and person B comes storming in one day, slaps 20 bucks on the counter and says “How do I passive-aggressively say fuck you in flower?” - “so you’d need a bouquet of geraniums (stupidity), foxglove (insincerity), meadowsweet (uselessness), yellow carnations (you have disappointed me), and orange lilies (hatred). it would be quite striking! and full of loathing.” - @noregretsnotearsnoanxieties (Prompt fill - Say It With Flowers by @mizjoely)

11) Doctor Who!Sherlock - Molly Hooper as a companion - The Silent Fangirl (Prompt fill - Doctorin’ the TARDIS by @darnedchild) (Prompt fill – A New Man by @lunaflowerlight) (Prompt fill – Molly Hooper, Travelling Companion by @mizjoely)

12) A Sherlolly version of “It’s A Wonderful Life”. Sherlock gets to see what his loved ones’ lives would be like if he never existed, realizing the positive impact he had on them when he was alive. - @simplyshelbs16xoxo (Prompt fill - Strange, Isn’t It? by @simplyshelbs16xoxo)

13) Something similar to “The Ransom of Red Chief”, only in this version the kidnappers have figured out that Molly Hooper is a pressure point for Sherlock Holmes. They take her captive, intending to blackmail Sherlock or hold Molly for ransom; but Molly Hooper is having none of that nonsense. While Sherlock works to save her, Molly finds ways to torment, injure, and outwit her captors. Whether she escapes on her own, finds a way to let Sherlock and John know where she’s at, or ends up driving her kidnappers crazy to the point that they give up and send her back is up to the author. Could go humorous or dark very easily. – Anonymous (Prompt fill – Self-Rescuing Princess by @darnedchild and The Return of the Self-Rescuing Princess by @darnedchild)

14) Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None” – because I always think of the movies when I see Mizjoely’s U.N. Owen tag. - @darnedchild (Prompt fill – And Then There Were Two by @mizjoely)

15) Christmas - I would also look for England-specific things too – Christmas crackers, puddings, panto, wassail. - @gettingovergreta (Prompt fill – Make A List, Check it Twice by @mizjoely)

16) Valentine’s - Sherlolly Valentine’s … Sherlock requisitions a heart from Bart’s. Molly thinks nothing of it, it’s not unusual for him to … obtain body parts. What is unusual is what follows when he invites her to 221B that night … (post-ILY) - Anonymous (Prompt fill - Have A Heart by @mizjoely)

17) To cover her butt during New Year’s Eurus lies and tells mummy that Sherlock has a wife, and Mycroft borrows her ‘Sherlock’s wife’ excuse whenever he wants to avoid sticky topics during holidays. The lie gets bigger the more Sherlock avoids family meetings. Until December when Sherlock finds out he’s married to a forensic (E), sex addicted(E), petite (E), intelligent (M), very forgiving (M) paragon of virtue (M). Now he needs to find a stranger that fits the description before Christmas. - @escaily (Prompt fill – Wait, What Just Happened? by @mizjoely and Let’s Meet the Family, Shall We? By @mizjoely and You Can Imagine The Christmas Dinners by @mizjoely)

18) Song Fic: Adele’s “Water Under the Bridge” - @darnedchild (Prompt fill - Water Under The Bridge by @simplyshelbs16xoxo)

19) Song Fic: Texas’ “I’ll See It Through” - @darnedchild (Prompt fill - And I’ll See It Through by @darnedchild)

20) Song Fic: … I’ve got a quote from a song. “You only know you love her when you let her go.” (Note from Mod - The song appears to be Passenger’s “Let Her Go”) - @flowerstar5 (Prompt fill - Turn Right by @sunken-standard)

21) Song Fic: Angst. Based on the ABBA song “Knowing Me, Knowing You”. Sherlock and Molly have tried to have a serious relationship, but it just didn’t work out. - @shadowyqueenbeard (Prompt fill - Waterloo by @mizjoely)

22) Molly’s school reunion – Sherlock assumes he’ll be needed to help Molly show everyone up. The catch: Molly’s been a beloved peer, so it’s him who gets the obligatory “you hurt her, we’ll end you”. :) - @mychakk (Prompt fill - The Time “We’ll End You” Started Things by @mizjoely) (Prompt fill - The Detective, the Pathologist, and the Prompt - Chapter 32: We’re Watching You by @writingwife-83)

23) Sherlock sees a woman on the street. Instantly intrigued (you can choose as to why) he follows her. - @mel-loves-all (Prompt fill - Following Her by @mizjoely) (Prompt fill – Untitled Tumblr Post by @monemenges)

24) Molly loves wearing Sherlock’s house robes. - @mel-loves-all (Prompt fill - A Seminal Moment by @geekmama) (Prompt fill – Dis Robe by @mizjoely) (Prompt fill – His Favorite by @writingwife83)

25) Molly has a piece of body piercing jewelry or a tattoo located somewhere that surprises and titillates Sherlock. - @mel-loves-all (Prompt fill - Stainless, Captive Bead, 11mm, 14 Gauge. by @sunken-standard) (Prompt fill – Took You Long Enough! by @mizjoely)

26) Molly commits suicide, but only Sherlock thinks she didn’t. He may not be wrong. - The Silent Fangirl (Prompt fill – Another Day, Another Faked Death by @mizjoely)

27) Fluff. Molly has been hospitalized for whatever reason. She decides that she is feeling better and just wants to go home. However, the hospital does not want to release her yet. So Molly decides to leave AMA (against medical advice). She feels she can recover at home just as well and also she is eager to get back to work. Besides, who is going to know? This is something someone might expect from Sherlock, but not Molly. How long before he finds out? What is his reaction? - @shadowyqueenbeard (Prompt fill - Home by @englandsgray)

28) Angst. Molly discovers she is pregnant and is not happy about it. Although she would love to have a baby at some point, right now is not the time. She and Sherlock do not have a commitment and her career is going well. She plans to terminate the pregnancy. Sherlock finds out and tries to stop her. He please with her to change her mind, marry him and be a family. Is this just a control tactic or does he really love her? - @shadowyqueenbeard (Prompt fill - Turn Right by @sunken-standard)

29) Molly discovers there is Sherlock Holmes RPF (Real Person Fiction) on the internet. She’s shocked to find that someone called Sherlolly4vr74 has been writing fic about her and Sherlock, and they seem to have a dedicated fan base. Some of the stories are very sweet and romantic, some of them are hot enough to give her NSFW ideas. Who is Sherlolly4vr74 (Is it Anderson? Mrs Hudson? Mary? John? I bet it’s John.) and is Sherlock aware of the stories? - @darnedchild (Prompt fill - This Love…is sweeter than fiction by @escaily) (Prompt fill – The Original Shipper by @JacobandEvie)

30) Eurus has been known to put on a persona and disguise to get close to people for information – she was Faith for Sherlock, E and the psychiatrist for John. What if she had also spent some time around Molly prior to the events at Sherrinford? What information would she have gleaned about her brother and his pathologist? - @darnedchild (Prompt Fill – Untitled Tumblr post by @mollyhooopers)

31) Can they be R rated. Because I feel Sherlock would not muck about, with telling Molly what he would like to do to her, he would not use cute little names for all her female parts and would go into great detail, like all his cases. She would be his very serious case. Yes he would most defiantly do a lot of research on pleasing her. Write it however you are most comfortable with. - @oliverfel4 (Prompt Fill – Be Prepared by @mizjoely and @asteraceae-blue)

32) Sherlock and Molly are getting married! It’s time to work on the guest list for the wedding, and suddenly they are faced with the question—Do they let Euros come, or not? - @celticmoonbeam (Prompt fill - Untitled Tumblr post by @theresadunn)

33) Shipwrecked Sherlolly—Sherlock saves Molly from drowning. - Anonymous (Prompt fill - Untitled Tumblr post (TBC?) by @mizjoely)

34) Euros leads Sherlock to believe that he failed, and Molly was killed after the ILY scene. Much angst ensues as he blames himself for her loss … but then we get to see the happy reunion scene when he learns she’s alive. - Anonymous (Prompt fill – Part 1 by @welcometothelosingside and Part 2 by @welcometothelosingside) (Prompt fill – Unsaid by @writingwife83)

35) Mary as matchmaker. At John and Mary’s wedding, Mary feels a little sad when they leave him alone to go dance (“What about you?”). She decides to make it her mission to help Sherlock find a girl so he’s not alone anymore. And this former agent has no trouble figuring out the potential between Sherlock and a certain Molly Hooper … (Up to you whether or not you want to throw in a Janine segue before she decides to set him up with Molly. And feel free to cover Sherlock being shot!) - @celticmoonbeam (Prompt fill – The One Where Mary Gets Involved by @keeptheotherone)

36) Molly discovers she’s pregnant with Sherlock’s child at the worst possible time: while she’s with his parents, being hidden away, and the two are pretending to be just friends. Bonus if they figure it out before they’re told! - @ noregretsnotearsnoanxieties (Prompt fill - Untitled Tumblr post by @welcometothelosingside) (Prompt fill - The Right Way, the Wrong Way and the Holmes Way by @mizjoely) (Prompt fill – Hide and Seek by @rainbow—letters)

37) After the events of TFP, Molly and Sherlock get closer. Suddenly, though, he pulls away and starts flirting with a coworker of hers, sometimes blatantly in front of her. It isn’t until an event at Barts that the truth comes out that it was all for a case. - @noregretsnotearsnoanxieties (Prompt fill – Tell Her About It by @mizjoely)

38) Sherlock moves in with Molly and begins perusing her book collection, picking up random books that have interesting looking covers, and the next thing Molly knows he’s turned into a fantasy buff. - @ noregretsnotearsnoanxieties (Prompt fill - Stories & Stories by SimplyShelbs16xoxo)

39) Molly, unbeknownst to Sherlock, suffers from psoriasis since her teen years. This is why she’s been adamant about being more physically intimate with him, no matter how much she wants to. Fortunately for her, Sherlock doesn’t care about it at all. Could be a hard T or M rating. Loosely inspired by Loo’s own bout with the disease. - @violetjersey (Prompt fill - #Balm by @hobbitsdoitbetter)

40) I have read this in one or two fics, but not really developed as a main theme of the story … so: What if Rosie wants to pair John and Molly? How will Sherlock react and … how will he convince Rosie that Molly is for him and not for John. I’m imagining some angst in the middle because the silly man thinks this is a wonderful idea: Rosie gets a mummy and Molly gets a family. In fact, Sherlock sets up a date between Molly and John while he’s babysitting Rosie. - @kalkopyryt (Prompt fill – Untitled Tumblr post by @theemptyquarto) (Prompt fill - Destiny and the Detective by @theemptyquarto)

41) Some strange guy is bothering Molly, so she tells him that Sherlock is her fiance in order to make him stop. To her surprise, Sherlock goes along with it. Maybe he goes even further by announcing it to family and friends. Now what does Molly do? - @shadowyqueenbeard (Prompt fill – Boyfriend Material by @darnedchild)

42) Hmmm… Molly is actually very cunning (I think she is indeed canonically), she uses her doe eyes, throaty voice, and innocent smile to get away with everything. So many people fall for her tactics, Sherlock is one of them, although he has more control than the others. - Anonymous (Prompt fill – Behind Doe Eyes by @mizjoely)

43) For those who have OTPs in other fandoms, imagine Sherlolly in the same situation another OTP of yours was in canon. Just because I’m curious. - @mousedetective (Prompt fill - Untitled Tumblr Post by @lunaflowerlight)

44) Post Tom/Molly break-up (pre- or post-HLV), Molly says to Sherlock “Just when I got used to feeling wanted, he took that feeling back. Like it wasn’t mine to have. Like he gave it to me by accident.“ - @noregretsnotearsnoanxieties (Prompt fill – I’m Put to Mind of All That I Wanna Be by @ukthxbye)

45) The best feeling in the world is kissing someone for the first time when you’ve really wanted to kiss them for a long time. (No credit given) - @noregretsnotearsnoanxieties (Prompt fill – The Best Feeling In The World by @mizjoely)

46) Fluff and Smut : After enjoying some sexy time with molly, Sherlock goes out to deal with a sudden case. Unfortunately, he forgot to untie Molly from the bed. Oops! - @shadowygueenbeard (Prompt fill – Untitled Tumblr Post by @elennemigo) (Prompt fill – The Escape Artist by @mychakk)

47) A Sherlolly + Warstan double date, where Sherlolly can either be established or not! Bonus if Mary ships it extra hard. 😉 Thank you! - @forthegenuine (Prompt fill – Fibber McHolmes and Molly by @mizjoely)

48) Post TFP, Sherlock moves in with Molly while waiting for 221b to be repaired. He experiences some PTSD and Molly helps him work through it. - @shadowyqueenbeard (Prompt fill – Adrift by @englandsgray)

49) Fluff, little bit of Angst, maybe Smut : A few too many drinks and a poor sense of direction lead to Molly getting lost. She only stepped outside to clear her head, so she didn’t bring her purse or phone. After wandering around an unfamiliar area, she eventually falls asleep in a backyard or public park. A worried Sherlock goes to find her. - @shadowyqueenbeard (Prompt fill - My Hero by @mizjoely)

50) Fluff, maybe smut : Molly gets a pedicure. Sherlock discovers he has a bit of a foot fetish. - @shadowyqueenbeard (Prompt fill – A Shoe In by @lilsherlockian1975)

51) “What do you mean it’s a tracking device?!” - @shadowyqueenbeard (Prompt fill - Keeping Track by @mizjoely)

52) Sherlock and Molly announce their engagement. Mycroft, for reasons of his own, offers Molly a large sum of money to break up with Sherlock. Molly is shocked. Sherlock is furious. - @shadowyqueenbeard (Prompt fill - The One Where Mycroft Offers Molly Money to Leave Sherlock by @mizjoely)

53) A strange woman shows up at 221B claiming to be Sherlock’s wife. Is it true? Did Sherlock delete her from his mind palace? Or is she a delusional fan? Or maybe it’s a scam to extort money from him? Sherlock needs to find some answers. - @shadowyqueenbeard (Prompt fill – There For You by @englandsgray)

Content Creator Interviews 2019: Master List (Complete with gratuitous gif of Sherlock looking hot, just because)

As some of you know, early this year a group of people in the Sherlock and Sherlolly fandom got together to conduct a series of interviews focusing on fan content and its creation. The result was twelve interviews, posted over three months, where writers and artists talk about their work, the fandom and show, and their own processes. I’ve finally gotten around to doing a master list of them to make it easier for anyone who’d like to read through them. Check out the links below:

For the 30 Molly-centric prompts: 👏🏼sherlolly👏🏼

And I got it done in time for Valentine’s Day! This was based on one of the two prompts that @geekmama gave me for her Sherlolly Secret Santa fic to choose from which fit perfectly for @mollyappreciationweek . Enjoy, both of you!

Second Time’s The Charm - Sherlock surprises Molly on what would have been an awkward anniversary-slash-Valentine's Day for her since she and Tom had their first date on that day. But it turns into a chance at something with someone she cares about so much more...who apparently cares more about her than he usually lets on, except for tonight.

READ @ AO3 | HELP ME SURVIVE? | COMMISSION ME? | BUY ME A KOFI?

She should have been used to being alone on Valentine’s Day by now, but as she and Tom had had their first date as a blind date set up on the holiday, something she normally never would have agreed to, the fact she was single again was just that much more depressing. And now, it seemed as if one of the many reasons her relationship with Tom had failed wouldn’t even be bothered to keep her company.

She made her way to her front door of the flat and opened it. The entire place seemed dark, and she knew she had left at least a few lights on, hadn’t she? But no, the foyer and living room was pitch black. Wonderful, she thought to herself. Lighting fixtures and dead bulbs to deal with in the dark. She went ahead and set her handbag on the table and then took her scarf off, then her coat, and hung them up on the coat rack before walking past the living room entrance to get to where her spare bulbs were--

--and seeing a flash of candlelight in the dining area.

She stopped and then headed back to the living room entrance, and she saw Sherlock sitting at the table with candles around and food on the table, engrossed on his mobile. He hadn’t even realized she’d come in, apparently. She smiled and made her way over, and when she was about five feet away he looked up. “I planned it better,” he said, his eyes wide.

“No! No, this is really pleasant,” she said, looking at the food. There was a roast with veg, what looked like spinach souffle, rolls, and a huge pile of boxed candy in front of a chair that had the largest teddy bear she’d ever seen sitting in it. “Sherlock, really, this is absolutely lovely, thank you.” She leaned over and kissed his cheek before sitting next to him.

“I never realized you started dating him on Valentine’s Day. Mary told me a few weeks ago why you looked so glum, and I decided since it was partially my fault your relationship with him failed I’d try and fix things.”

“Well, I appreciate it,” she said, giving him a warm smile. “My plans were just for takeaway and romcoms.”

“I’ll sit through one or two with you if you still want to watch the films,” he said. “I watch them myself sometimes.”

“Yes, I’ve noticed my collection of DVDs has been pilfered through,” she said with a warm chuckle. “And do you have any favourites?”

“I’m partial to the Princess Diaries movies for some reason,” he mused. “And I suppose The Princess Bride as well.”

“Then we can watch those three if you want to stay for that many,” she said with a nod.

“Alright,” he said. He stood up then and began to serve her the food. She was touched that he did that. “I made most of it after watching tutorials on YouTube. The spinach souffle is the only bit I couldn’t master but Mrs. Hudson helped me with it.”

“Even the rolls?” she asked.

He nodded. “Mary gave me a recipe for those and walked me through how to do it. I may have gotten a tad impatient waiting for the yeast to rise the first time,” he said with a smile. “It won’t give you food poisoning, any of it, but I haven’t tasted it so I don’t know if it will be good.”

“I’m sure it will be fine,” she said. She cut off a bite of the roast from the plate he handed her and took a bite. “Just like my mum used to make.”

“Really?” he asked. She motioned for him to come closer and then cut off another bite and fed it to him. He chewed it, a speculative look on his face, and when he was done he grinned. “I did well.”

“You did, so I have high hopes for everything else,” she said as she waited for him to serve himself again before eating more. They kept up a rather fun conversation over cases and things she’s encountered at the path lab, a conversation that might have made others blanch if they’d been having it in public at a restaurant or something. When they were done he got up again and brought over a warm dish that had poached pears in some kind of puff pastry. “That looks lovely.”

“It’s some sort of twist on traditional poached pears,” he said. “I had to convert all the measurements but I think it turned out alright.”

She took a bite and then moaned slightly. “This is amazing, Sherlock. Please share the recipe?”

“I will,” he said, sitting next to her again. She took another bite and then gestured to the empty space in front of him but he shook his head. “I made them for you.”

“That’s very sweet,” she said, leaning over to kiss his cheek again. After a moment he pulled back but reached over for her, gently touching her face. “Sherlock?”

“I would like a regular kiss, I suppose, if you would like to thank me properly,” he murmured.

“I thought you’d never ask,” she said before leaning in and pressing her lips to his this time, kissing him softly. There was still sweetness on her lips from the pears and she felt Sherlock’s tongue flick out to capture it before she opened her mouth to him. The dessert sat momentarily forgotten until she pulled back. “That was sweeter than the dessert.”

“It was,” he said. “Do you...”

“We can snog more when we curl up to watch the films,” she said. “And I can take the dessert out with us so we can start on that sooner than later.” He had a wide grin on his face that time and, perhaps, maybe the second time would be the charm with relationships she started on this particular holiday...

Prompts Round 3, pleeeease? Any or all: #69 "Bed. Now."; #90 "Road Trip"; #95 "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas".

“Bed. Now.”/ “Road Trip!”/ “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”

(set in the Vegas-married ‘verse)

“Get your keys,” Sherlocksaid as he threw back the blankets on the bed.

“Hn?” Molly grunted, gropingfor the lamp.

“Clothing, keys,” Sherlocksaid, already on the other side of the room and pulling open drawers.

“What? Why? Is this is it? Isit zombies?”

“Road trip!” he saidbrightly.

“Wh—” she was cut off by awadded-up something smacking her in the face.

“This isn’t legal, is it?”

“Pfft, legal,” Sherlock said,binoculars trained out the passenger window.

“Just tell me we’re not going tobe kidnapping anyone.”

“We’re not going to be kidnappinganyone.”

“Are you fibbing?”

“You wound me, Molly. Oh, therehe is. Keep the engine running,” Sherlock said before dartingout of the car and into the night.

“Should have known there was somemonkey business going on when you brought a car seat,” Mollysaid, looking in the rear view mirror at their new passenger.

“Really, that was the best youcould do?”

“I had two hours of sleep and I’mabout to get on Le Shuttle to France. With a shaved chimp in mybackseat.”

“Bonobo. And he’s not shaved,it’s from whatever they’ve been injecting him with. You’re an animallover, you should be thrilled with this.”

“Just because I give to the RSPCAand have a cat calender on my desk doesn’t mean I’m ready to join theA.L.F.”

“He’s actually been grantedcitizenship in Belgium. We’re repatriating him for my client,”Sherlock said, twisting to reach over the seat and do something withthe chimp. Bonobo. Whatever.

“Are you getting paid in bananas?”

“No, pounds sterling, and I wasgoing to split the fee with you and help you smuggle however muchbooze and chocolate from the duty-free we could manage until you madethat crack. We need to get him dressed before they check ourpassports,” Sherlock said, unclipping the harness of the childseat.

“Does he at least have a name?”

“Quentin.”

Quentin shrieked at his name.

Molly wondered what life was like fornormal people. Relaxing, probably.

The border officer looked at Molly,then Sherlock, then Quentin (now dressed in jeans and a jumper and arain hat pulled low over his face). Sherlock scowled and shifted thebonobo in his arms.

“Is it cancer?” the womanasked, sympathy pouring off of her.

“Congenital,” Molly answered. “Beddoe-Clyde syndrome. Very rare. Incurable. Runs on myhusband’s side.”

“Oh,” the officer said,hushed. "Well, you have yourself a lovely time in France then,Mrs. Holmes, Mr. Holmes.“

"Oh, it’s not—”

Sherlock snatched their passports. “Come along, dear, you know what happens when baby doesn’t gethis snack,” he said, plastering on his fake smile.

“Did she even read the passports? I mean, one’s obviously a fake—” Molly started once they wereaway from the desk.

“Shh!”

“And she didn’t even get my nameright. I’ll take mine back now, by the way.”

“It’s fine, I’ll hang onto ituntil we get to the Belgian border. Travelling as a family, may aswell keep them all together,” Sherlock said too quickly.

“Give. It.”

“Promise you won’t be cross.”

“What did you do?”

“I… may have misplaced thedivorce papers.”

“Misplaced.”

“Misplaced, burned, whoremembers?”

“Sherlock, give me my passport,”Molly said calmly.

He handed her the passport afteranother moment’s hesitation.

It wasn’t her passport. At least, notthe one she’d had for the last four years. It was brand new.

Molly L. Holmes, it read.

“Your brother, I assume?”

Sherlock bounced Quentin into a morecomfortable position and walked away quickly toward the men’s room inthe terminal. The bloody coward.

“Are you supposed to be feedinghim sweets? Shouldn’t he have like, fruit or leaves or something?” Molly asked, leaning against the front fender of the car.

Sherlock handed Quentin (who was sat onthe bonnet) another Malteser and put one between his own lips, makingthe same kissy face the bonobo made.

“It’s fine,” Sherlock said,shaking some from the packet into her outstretched hand.

“Can he do any tricks? Like, ifyou point your finger at him and say ‘bang,’ will he fall over?”

“He’s got a three hundred-plussign vocabulary and paints portraits as well as keeps perfect 6/8time on a drum. He doesn’t do 'tricks.’”

Quentin reached over and put his handson Molly’s breasts, then signed something.

“Well, maybe he does one trick.”

“Grabbing my tits hardly counts asa trick,” she said flatly.

“He said you’re a B-cup.”

“You’re making that up.”

“Am I?” Sherlock raised hiseyebrows and blanked his face. Molly tongued the inside of hercheek. The staring contest was only broken when she closed her eyesbecause Quentin had decided he needed to re-measure.

“I think we’re being followed.”

“Don’t be ridiculous, we’re notbeing followed. It’s first thing on a Saturday morning, do you knowhow many tourists are—oh. Right, no, that’s not good. Changelanes. Now.”

“Just a slight detour, Molly,”she said, doing her best I-am-a-posh-git baritone. "We’ll stillbe in Brussels by noon.“

Sherlock ripped off a piece of ducttape with his teeth and put it over one of the bullet holes in theboot. At least they hadn’t shot out the back window or hit the gastank, though both her tail lights were broken.

"Well, we’ll make it beforesundown at least. Think of it as a second honeymoon, touring theFrench countryside.”

“We just got back from the firsttwo months ago.”

“What can I say, I’m a romantic.”

Quentin blew a raspberry on Molly’scheek. "I’m surrounded by them, apparently.“

Molly woke with a start; Quentin wasout of his seat and had his hand on her boob again. It was darkoutside.

"Sherlock,” she said slowly,removing the bonobo’s hand from her chest, “why are we inGermany?”

“I’m not allowed in Luxembourg. Long story.”

“I am way too sober for this,”Molly said as she watched Sherlock being handcuffed. "Quentin,so help me Christ if you do what I know you’re thinking of doing Iwill phone Proctor and Gamble myself and you’ll spend the rest ofyour very short life looking like a losing contestant in RuPaul’sDrag Race.“

"Molly! Is that any way to talkto our only child?” Sherlock bellowed before he was stuffed intothe back of the police car.

“Mycroft? This is your sister-in-law. Yes, I know what time it is. We need afavour. No, he can’t come to the phone because he’s currentlyworking his way up to another international incident. We’re in apolice station in Fuck-If-I-Know-Where Germany and… yeah, no, just,um, bail, or diplomatic immunity, or whatever it is you do if youcould… I need to go to work Monday and we still need to get toAntwerp. Fine, yes, I’ll owe you, you can have our firstborn,whatever Rumpelstiltskin. Fine. Thank you.”

“Whyis Quentin wearing lederhosen? We’re not even in the right part ofGermany for that.”

“Funfact: bonobos really like beer. Or at least, this one does. Evenfunner fact: I’ve finally met someone who’s more of a lightweightthan you are. Luckily, Frauline Mueller over there found these inthe lost property box. Oh, and we have to name our first babyMycroft.”

Sherlockopened his mouth, but obviously couldn’t decide if he wanted tocorrect her grammar first or refute the possibility of ever naminghis offspring after his brother.

“Chipsfor breakfast. Healthy.”

“Yes,I suppose potatoes are healthier in their distilled form, if the wayyou prefer to consume them is anything to go by,” Sherlocksniffed before shoving a handful of still-hot chips in his mouth. “And they’re frites, not chips,” he added afterchewing and swallowing.

“This is not my Quentin. What areyou trying to pull, Mr. Holmes?” Sherlock’s client said angrily.

“What’s he talking about? Sherlock?” Molly looked between Sherlock, the client, and(not-)Quentin.

“Wh—no, this was the only bonoboin the facility.”

“That cannot be!”

“Mr. Orville, I can assure you—”

“Out! Take this imposter and getout!”

“We’re not keeping him.”

“He’s toilet trained.”

“So he’s going to live at BakerStreet, then?”

“Don’t be silly, I can’t keep ananimal, Mrs. Hudson has limits.”

“So you think he’s going to livein my flat?”

“You had that cat once, hardly anydifferent.”

“Start calling zoos.”

“You are not the woman I married.”

“Don’t worry, Quentin, we’llvisit, we promise. Isn’t that right, Molly?”

Molly smiled tightly at the bonobo,letting him have one goodbye grope.

“A single occupancy. Wonderful. You know what? I don’t even care. Bed. Now,” Molly said. They were lucky to even get a space on the overnight ferry from Hookof Holland to Harwick; she wasn’t about to drive back to London afteronly sleeping maybe five hours the entire weekend. At leastthey didn’t have to take the ferry to Hull.

She peeled off her her shirt (whichsmelled vaguely of primate and beer) and wiggled out of her trousers,then figured to hell with it and flicked off her bra, too. They weremarried, after all. Not that they’d consummated it or anything; theyhadn’t even so much as kissed after that aborted fumble in the hotelroom in Las Vegas. Probably would have shaken out a lot differentlyif his testicles hadn’t been so badly bruised.

She crawled into the berth andplastered herself against the wall to give Sherlock enough room tolay down; he shed his suit and joined her. There was a bit ofshuffling until they got their arms and legs and the blanketsarranged, and then a new kind of awkward tension took over.

“Did you really burn the divorcepapers?” Molly blurted.

“Not intentionally. Scienceaccident.”

“Uh huh.”

Sherlock sighed. "If you reallywant a divorce, we’ll just get another set of papers from thesolicitor. And you can keep them so they don’t get unintentionallydestroyed.“

"Don’t you? Want one. It wasjust for the case, right? What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.”

“You said it yourself, it’s just aslogan,” Sherlock hedged.

“Yeah, but you haven’t, uh, shownany interest since we got back, so I thought it was just a passingthing. Caught up in the moment.”

“You didn’t show much interestyourself,” he countered.

“So if I were to show interestnow, what would you do?” she asked, twisting the curl at thenape of his neck around her index finger. His fingers twitchedagainst her shoulder and he shivered.

He tilted his face down towards hers. “Probably kiss you and then ask for a rain check on anythingelse, considering the amount of sleep we’ve both had in the lastthree days,” he said frankly.

“It’s a start,” Molly said,giving him a half-smile.

Drabble Challenge? Pleeeease? Prompts: 41. "You're not going out dressed like that?" and 95. "You're cute when you're all worried."

Sherlock glared suspiciously at Molly as she applied her lipstick in the tiny mirror near the door.

“You’re not going out dressed like that, surely?”

Molly looked down at herself, but saw nothing alarming.

“Like what?”

“All… alluring,” he said, waving a hand vaguely at her, “It’s meant to be a girls’ night out, not you going on the pull.”

Molly looked down again at her sensible brown trousers, ruffled pink blouse, and cherry-print cardigan.

“This… is what you find alluring? I really used to be off on the wrong track with you, wasn’t I?”

“Cherries are extremely sexual fruit,” Sherlock snapped defensively.

“And drink one is going to be dedicated to forgetting you said that,” Molly said, popping the lid back on her lipstick, “You’re cute when you’re all worried, but I think probably the men of London will be able to resist the temptation implicit in my wearing produce. But play your cards right and when I get back you can have a look at my mangoes.”

Sherlolly Appreciation Week - 2020 Fic Rec Post

@sherlollyappreciationweek is this week and I’ve had my head not screwed on straight and missed daily posting. Which means y’all are going to deal with a single LONG post of Sherlolly Fic Recs. I’m making up for timeliness by dumping more recs than anyone asked for. Buckle up.

(tl:dr - Listen, you can find every flavor of Sherlolly fic curated like a Willy Wonka’s factory over on @miz-joelys-sherlollilists, but I have curated a gourmet banquet for you right here. Please leave feedback for the creators.)

DAY ONE - Gone But Not Forgotten (WIPs/Incomplete Fics)

I left a review and am also recommending The Ghost and Molly Hooper by doctor_WTF. This is the story of Molly who purchased 221B Baker St only to find that the last inhabitant died, but never really left. This is set as an AU with the context of TRF.

Also gonna recommend A Line to Cross by @blogyourfeelingsaway. This is an AU where Molly doesn’t actually like Sherlock at first, much to his surprise...

Delayed For A Little While by @lono285. A Princess Bride AU we don’t deserve.

DAY TWO - Angst Fest

Phoenix by @lono285. This is the author’s summary: Nothing could bring Molly Hooper back to life. He saw her final breath leave her body. But with a few short words from a nameless voice on the telephone, he realized the resumed beating of his heart had a name: hope.

Ghost of A Girl by Alethnya. Author’s summary: Death, as it turns out, wasn't quite as final as Molly had always believed. Fear not, you will smile at the end, I promise.

All You Ever Wanted At Just The Wrong Time by @soyeahso. This wasn’t what Molly expected being a relationship with Sherlock would be like.

The Coffin-Maker’s Lullaby by @hobbitsdoitbetter. This is ANGST but it’s more like catharsis post-S4.

But if you’re REALLY looking for The Pain Train, take the emotional tour via The Gods Have [No] Mercy by TuesdayTerrible. This is a soulmate AU.

Also, The Five Stages of an Illogical Death by AndInTimeThisTooShallPass. It’s exactly what you think it is.

DAY THREE - When We Were Young (S1 & S2)

A Beautiful Mind by jankmusic. I have a theme for fics, apparently, because this one is also super emotional. This is set vaguely in the S2 timeline, but it’s an amnesia fic that starts with established Sherlolly. But then...

Her Last Bow by @PetraTodd. This is just after S2. Author’s summary: Like a knight going off to war, when Sherlock goes off to fight Moriarty's network, he takes a favor from Molly Hooper. (Of course, favors are normally *given* but Sherlock isn't really one for manners.)

All The Things Said and Unsaid by @elixirbb. Molly goes with Sherlock after The Fall.

Every Time and Always by @flaignhan. Written just after S2.01 aired.

Do I even need to mention The Full House and Always Something by @emceefrodis? Because like, that should be part of the Sherlollian Bible or something.

DAY FOUR - Bust Out (Comedy Gold)

Friends Like These by @elixirbb. Sherlolly post-S2 from Lestrade’s POV.

A Little Inspiration by @lilsherlockian1975. Humor with some angst, but a fun read.

If You Like It... by ll_again. ...put a ring on it. Post-S3 where Molly and the Holmes parents form a friendship.

The New Conception by Quarto. Post-S3 ish. Author’s summary: It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single consulting detective in possession of an undercover assignment must be in want of a wife.

DAY FIVE - EPIC (Long Fics)

A Fearful Hope Was All The World by @miabicicletta . End of the world AU that somehow hits HARD especially now. Not for the emotionally fragile, but there’s still HEA.

In matters of the heart by TheSapphireSky. Regency AU. There’s mystery and heart-wrenching emotion with our favorite idiots. It’s *chef’s kiss*.

The Signs of the Four by Emma_Lynch. Victorian AU you’re looking for.

The Necessary Mother by darthsydious. Victorian AU where Sherlock is a single father and Molly comes to help him. This isn’t on AO3, so I will tag with the warning of character death (secondary, but still gutting due to period typical mortality).

Molly Hooper and the Flagon Nocturnal by Zoa. It’s a CRIME that this Indiana Jones AU doesn’t have more comments.

In general, if you’re looking for LONG fics, check out the 2015 Sherlolly Big Bang Collection. Every fic has a minimum of 25K.

DAY SIX - Fluffy Friday

So I like my fluff with a side of angst (for ~flavor~).

Order From Chaos by MaybeItsJustMyType. Soulmate AU.

Semantics by @geekmama. Sap everywhere.

Intuit by ClassySpanks. Molly runs away to Switzerland.

Zephyr by @writingwife-83. A Victorian AU arranged marriage.

I also had to mention Wedding Day by floosilver8. This is Groundhog Day-set up, Molly POV, set at the Watson wedding. Not like 100% fluffy, but I love reading it when I need a pick me up.

DAY SEVEN - Free For All

You guys know I’m a sucker for a period AU. So I’m going to recommend one of my favorite AUs: London Bridge Is Falling Down by @lono285. This is a WWII-era AU that I love to bits and pieces because it’s ADORABLE.

Speaking of AUs, here’s a Victorian amnesia fic. Changing Faces by @likingthistoomuch

Also, there’s an S2-ish hasty marriage AU Band of Gold by @mizjoely and the 1940s AU remix With This Ring written by me. (yup, I am SHAMELESS. And quite proud of this one.)

I’m gonna add with a tear, the truth comes by broomclosetkink. Semi-angsty AU of the Watson wedding. Fix-it fic.

Looking for the Christmas Carol AU? Well, try A Knockout Christmas by Ellis_Hendricks.

Here’s Sherlock-Is-An-Actual-Moron. Unplanned pregnancy AU where Sherlock doesn’t realize it’s his. Hearts Don’t Break Around Here by darthsydious.

OOOOOOOOF. I’ve been reading your Sherlolly fics since like 2011 and I have heaps more (SO many fantastic authors I didn’t even mention here!).

Please check out the official post because the other half of this appreciation week is also leaving feedback for authors.

Give them some LOVE!
