Thank you so much!

Putting Molly in this update was brilliant. And I LOVED the "Sheer Luck" allusion! :-)

Also, the Reichenbach nod at the end was excellent.

I loved this.

I am accepting this as personal headcanon for Molly's backstory. ::nods:: Once the reveals are up, is it all right if I write a bit of fic based on this one, where she and Lestrade commiserate over being divorced?

Pleased this worked so well for you. I'm sorry I never got round to replying to your request (RL swallowed half of January whole). Yes, if you'd like to write something based on this, please do so. (I've now also put the fic up on AO3, which may be easier to link to).

I really enjoyed this. Casefic and backstory for Molly was great to see.

That was a very clever update and compellingly written case!fic! How interesting to cast Molly in the role of Mrs. St. Clair! That's a really nice backstory for her, Sherlock and Lestrade. I loved that we got to know why Molly decided to work in a mortuary (that was very convincingly done) and you did a great job with the character voices. :-)

(Also, Sherlock building a pillow fort and looking like a smoking Buddha made me laugh out loud. :-D)

Lovely interweaving of BBC and the original stories. Love Molly here - poor woman!
