Because I can believe
this (and some of you do too) and I've written some Dark!Molly -
Wrappings and its sequel
Unwrappinghere is a continuation of this short series:
Falling
He's asking her to help him.
Well, not her, but Molly Hooper.
It's even better than they planned.
As he explains his plan to her, she can't help admire that wonderful mind at work. Jim - dramatic, impatient Jim - he'd be disappointed. But she knows that it's envy.
What is it that he always says? "He's on the side of the angels." She never reminds him that Lucifer was an angel too.
Sherlock's plan is absolute genius in its simplicity.
"That's brilliant," she breathes and it's not Molly Hooper's voice again. It's hers. It's all hers.
