Summary: In the 1950s, Sherlock has been blessed with a life of relative ease, a marriage to a woman who is besotted without interfering and the freedom to do the work he enjoys. Then, there is the doctor, John Watson, who treats Molly’s nerves with a kindness Sherlock cannot replicate, who makes her smile, small and shy as a tormented cat in response to love. It does not kill him that he is losing her; it kills him that he is very slowly losing himself to the same man.
Author’s Notes: You’ve got BBC’s The Hour to thank for this, particularly Andrew Scott’s character. He inspired the whole thing. Also, please keep in mind that this relates to Molly’s character as characterized in seasons one and two and not in three. I started this a long time ago. Molly will grow. This may not be her story, but I do love her and want good things for her.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters recognizable as being from Sherlock. They are the property of their actors, producers, writers, and studios, not me. No copyright infringement was intended and no money was made in the writing or distribution of this story. It was good, clean fun.
