FINALLY I post this fic, which is for the beautiful apple_pathways! It's for sherlockmas and is way late, which is terrible as I mod that comm. But! Today is her birthday so let's say this delay is fortuitous rather than a result of my disorganisation. This fic is WAY out of my comfort zone due to the characters, but I hope she - and you - enjoy it

Wow! Wow wow wow! Thank you SO MUCH for stepping outside your comfort zone to write this! I love how you gave Molly this new depth and characterization, while still incorporating all of the silly Molly fluff doled out by the show and staying true to the canon. (I can be a little guilty of re-writing her to suit my own nefarious purposes. ;)

And though, at the bottom of things, she's obsessed with a man, I like how she goes about finding him--using her intelligence, being bold and brave, and discovering a new side of herself that she enjoys just as much as the man she's chasing.

Also, just the way you work in details and weave the plot together--the code, the personals site, all of that! It makes for a marvelous read.

I know I'll come up with more to say, but just know that my birthday present has me grinning like a loon! Thank you, darling!

<3 SO glad you liked it!! And I quite deliberately went a different route to the way you write Molly, cos the only Molly/Jim stuff I've read is by you (and it's awesome), and it would have been easy to copy it... But who wants to read fic they could've written? :D Happy birthday, hon xxx

[apple_pathways]

The amount of thought you put into it is clearly evident! That's what makes it a truly fantastic gift. (And the fact that your fic now adds to the body of Jim/Molly work available!)

You know, there's no M/J community on LJ. You should get on that...

Absolutely fantastic. One day I may check out the show if only because of your fics ;).

[rachel2205]

Hee! Glad you liked it. And you should definitely watch it!

Molly

someone who blends so perfectly into the background it puts the characters who try it deliberately, to shame.

this is a unique and stunning story. thank you for sharing it. *applauds you*

She's a little bit of a tabula rasa, isn't she? Fandom can take her all sorts of places... Really glad you liked it :)
