A shy, clever, and fragile thing, she was like an odd variety of hothouse flower that thrived in the ghoulish sanctuary of Bart's morgue.

What a lovely line, and so Molly, really. Wonderful glimpse into the relationship of a truly intriguing couple :)

Glad you liked it! Not suprisingly, clever you found my foundation sentence. I don't ship 'em, but it was fun to write!

Lovely! I usually only read John/Sherlock, but as it's you I figured I'd give it a go and I'm glad I did :)

'Easy to burn someone's heart out when they wear it on their sleeve.' really jumped out at me... strong stuff!

[aurora_boreali]

Thank you! Was a one-off, a bit of fun. Now, if you'll excuse me, it's back to the boys. ;)

[verityburns]

Back to the boys, you say? Consider yourself excused!

Oh that's sweet! You described her well.

Naw. What a sweet couple they'd make!

[aurora_boreali]

Thank you! I like them as a couple too.

Yes, Greg always seems like he's taking on the weight of the world with little thought for himself. And Molly, it seems, could use someone like that in her life, especially after her brush with JM. Fictional matchmaking is very satisfying.:)

This is so lovely. I just want to hug Molly, and I love protective Lestrade and how he doesn't seem to have a clue how utterly gorgeous he is.

Thank you so much! And I see them just as you say.
