Fic: It Feels Like Fear (Irene/Molly)

[dreaming_athena]

This is what happens when I ask myself "How tired would I have to be to write Irene/Molly porn?" Apparently the answer is catatonic. Instead, have some descriptions of John angst with a nice side of Porn Without Porn, while I try again with the sequel. 'Cause apparently I don't have the will to stop.

Title: It Feels Like Fear

Ooh, wow. I could believe that Irene would be a source of comfort to Molly, in her own way, in the terrible time after the Fall.

Thanks! :)

I'm swept away! This is so good! I love how Molly describes her relationship with Sherlock and compares it to her relationship with Irene. I thought of the prequel, where you drew this parallel between John/Sherlock and Molly/Irene, but now I think only Sherlock (someone so high above society he can't understand emotions) would really see it that way.

Irene and Molly are a force of their own, a whole different rodeo. And then John's reaction was just icing on this perfect, well-written cake. This is my new headcanon, kthxs.

(And can I also just thank you for writing femmeslash? I just can't get enough in my life.)

Oh wow, thanks!

where you drew this parallel between John/Sherlock and Molly/Irene, but now I think only Sherlock (someone so high above society he can't understand emotions) would really see it that way. I'm glad this made sense--I thought that even if Irene started the relationship with Molly mainly as a way to tease Sherlock, if they had stayed together for so long it would have been for a reason, and Irene would have...relaxed a bit.

And can I also just thank you for writing femmeslash?
Why yes you may. I don't write it often (I think I've always been rather afraid I'd insert myself into the story) but this show... I just don't know. I blame Reichenbach. So yeah, thanks for the validation.
