I've been reading this fic again after a while... it's a casefic and I love Molly and Sherlock dynamic here.

It’s been a while, but I’ve finally written something new (well, same old theme, new thing!) Set between TEH and TSoT, it’s based on a prompt I received from @juldooz, back in the dim mists of time. So thank you @juldooz , and hope this isn’t too wildly off the mark! 

Thanks, too, to @geekmama, for continuing to be a brilliant beta and a great encouragement. If you like a particular sentence, guaranteed she helped me to make it better. 

Okay, prepare for mutual pining, awkward flirting, banter, bucket-loads of UST, and the closest thing I’ll probably ever write to casefic!

Now, this is cute and interesting and definitely open for more (please...?) 😉. I'm glad Greg forced him to join 😁.

How about this one randomly chosen from "Awkward First Meetings AUs" list just added to sherlollylists:

“I’ve never talked to you before but the teacher just used us as an example for a scenario where we are married.”

OR

“I needed a drink of water after my shower but I forgot that I opened the blinds to my balcony and you just saw me walk into my kitchen naked.”

Oh these are so fun! Thanks for the prompt! ❤️

Sherlock sipped his cup of stale coffee and scrolled through his texts as he lounged against the wall towards the back of the room, looking for anything worth his attention while Lestrade fumbled his way through the mandatory workplace conduct seminar HR had ordered for everyone working with Scotland Yard.

And apparently that meant everyone. Himself included.

God only knows why.

He barely talked to Lestrade when working a case, let alone any of his underlings. He certainly wasn't going to waste time with–what were they talking about now?

He glanced up briefly.

Ah yes, interoffice romance.

A fool's game if there ever was one.

"But what if they're married?" Anderson piped up, raising his hand.

Anderson, really. Shut up.

"Now that actually raises a good point," Lestrade said, glancing at the representative from HR.

"Well, um…Sherlock, get down here."

Sherlock looked up. "Hm?"

"Just come over here."

Feeling the expectant eyes around the room fall on him, Sherlock put away his phone and came to the front of the room.

"Right. So let's say Sherlock here was married to…Molly! Would you mind?"

"Wassthatnow?" a petite brunette jerked herself awake from the desk she'd been dosing on.

"Just a quick demonstration," Lestrade assured her.

"Oh. Okay sure. Sorry…"

Sherlock eyed her curiously as she came to stand beside him.

Working the graveyard shift. 

Callous on her right hand likely from the use of a scalpel. 

Practical shoes. Hair swept back. Tidy. 

Pale.

Layered jumper despite it being summer. Working in a cooler environment. 

Pathologist.

"Right, so let's say Sherlock and Molly here are married and working on a case together. Maybe they have some downtime while they're waiting for some analysis or other to finish up."

She let out a squeak as Lestrade ushered her next to Sherlock, stumbling slightly. 

"Oh! Um…hi. I'm Molly. I guess I'm your wife," she greeted shyly with a chipper smile.

Christ she was tiny. Elfen even.

The harsh fluorescents were doing those wide brown eyes of hers no favors, though he suspected they'd be rather captivating in the sun or perhaps under candlelight…

He blinked the thought away.

"Sherlock," he introduced.

"So obviously these two snogging in the supply closet would still be frowned upon," Lestrade went on, earning a chuckle from the room. "But in this scenario if they wanted to, I dunno, hold hands."

Molly looked up at him in question with those wide eyes of hers, prompting him to awkwardly take her hand.

Nimble fingers entwined with his, squeezing lightly in reassurance. 

It was a surprisingly comforting gesture.

He felt a smile tug at the corner of his mouth.

"That would be okay, yeah?" Lestrade asked the room. "Or if Sherlock wanted to pay his wife a compliment, as long as it was still workplace appropriate…"

Sherlock felt his mouth go dry, looking down at her, his usually lightning quick brain stuttering on the uptake.

It wasn't that there wasn't anything to compliment, but rather too much to choose from.

"Um…your hair looks nice today, darling."

Molly's smile grew, her cheeks tinging the subtlest shade of pink. "Thank you."

Wow.

Were his palms sweating? He couldn't recall that ever being an affliction of his but he was suddenly vary aware of the possibility…

Lestrade clapped his hands together loudly, unknowingly pulling Sherlock out of his brief mental spiral. "Right. Okay. Does that help? Basically if you're an already established couple and you've cleared everything with HR, keep it G rated and you'll be fine. Otherwise just keep your thoughts and extremities to yourself. Does that about sum it up?"

The representative from HR checked her clipboard. "Yeah alright, good enough. I need to pick my kid up from rugby practice."

"Alright. Good. You're all dismissed," Lestrade said, barely masking his relief.

Sherlock realized he was still holding Molly's hand and let go abruptly, clearing his throat.

"So, um…what is it you do Sherlock?" she asked conversationally as she gathered her things.

"Consulting detective."

He gulped down a swig from his cup, making a face as he tossed the rest.

She smiled sympathetically at his display of disgust. "I know a place up the block that's got better coffee. I-if you want. I wasn't trying to make a pass at you. I just meant–"

"Better coffee sounds terrific actually," he replied. "And if my wife recommends it, I should probably give it a chance, right?"

"Only if you want to stay married," she quipped.

He found himself smiling at the joke. "Care to join me?"

She smiled brightly, shouldering her bag and something in his stomach flipped, leaving him feeling oddly… fuzzy. 

"Sure. I'd love that."

No one can convince me that Sherlock didn't love Molly.

As a johnlock shipper, even I loved this moment

A Study In Pink Characters Meet your favourite Sherlock characters in A Study In Pink. I have no idea how many times I have giffed John in this scene, but it's... A LOT. :D

This will also probably be my last gifset for a while- going on vacation soon (and missing the first 3 episodes of Breeders 😭😭😭) and not back until mid August.

The urge to write Sherlock fan fiction because im bored.
