and lo, fandom delivered
Considering I finished The Reichenbach Fall with my immediate reaction neither being "aw, John" (I did feel sorry for him, but that wasn't the first thing I thought of), nor "aw, Sherlock" (though this season finally made me care for him, and thus I felt for him, too - but again, not the first consideration), but "ZOMG MOLLY HOOPER I LOVE YOU", I am delighted that a measily two days later, there is both Molly centric fanfiction and Molly meta for me to choose from and recccomend.
The meta
The Mourning Woman : The fanfiction: Molly takes care of business throughout her life.
I think what I love best in what this season did with Molly is that they didn't rewrite the character by making her suddenly reveal super ninja powers or, as was guessed by many a fan, the secret M behind Moriarty, but that they used the established traits that got ridiculed in s1 and showed the quiet strength behind them. I love variety in the female characters I'm fond of, and "butt-kicking chick" isn't the only type I can root for.
