Weekly Sherlock rec: Molly Hooper appreciation week

[tinnny]

It started with the desire to have actual shippy Cabin Pressure fic, when I stumbled across the molly-martin community, and noticed how this pairing makes *so much sense*! They're both hopeless and awkward and bright and have the same lack of self-esteem, and I just can't help *wanting* them to be happy and cheering them on. They'd work so wonderfully as a

I know r_scribbles from my real life journal - she's a wicked writer. Do you follow her on Twitter? She plays Cumberholmes and she's hilarious.

[tinnny]

Nope, I haven't been on Twitter in ages. Looks funny, yes. If I had more time... :)

I was lucky finding two well-written stories like that. Good het is hard enough to find in the first place.

IKR? I think apple_pathways also writes Molly fic (although I'm not sure if it's het or more gen-type stuff).

There is a rather exceptionally long Molly pov RF (I think it has some Molly/Lestrade, but that is not really the point of the story) fic somewhere out there ... by exceptional, I mean that it just is in general. Now if only I could recall where I found it.

I adore Cabin Pressure, but I just can't read fiction for it. Oh well! I'll just have to .. go study. :P

[tinnny]

could it be this one?

Haven't read it yet, just stumbled over it searching for "long molly fic". :)

ETA: Cabin Pressure fic: actually, I can't ship anyone from there, because they're all so mean, except Martin and Arthur, who are hopeless. Thus the idea of shipping them with Sherlock characters (and thus remove the mean streak from the CP 'verse) is an attractive one.

Also, if I read CP fic, it has to be also something of a fix-it for the typical mood - something that lets the characters have some happiness for a change, in a totally gen way. That's not my normal cup of tea at all. Go figure. :D

Yes, yes I think it is that one.

Well done! I can't find my way out of a paper bag currently.

If I want CP fix I just generally go listen to CP again. Seems simpler. :P
