Rating: Teen on AO3
Word Count: 29,237
Warnings: No AO3 warnings, but there is infidelity in this fic, albeit just kissing on Molly's end and the implication of more on Tom's.
Summary: It starts with an out of the blue phone call from Janine to Molly after the wedding, inviting her to a girls day out to celebrate Mary's birthday. What Molly first assumes is an attempt for Janine to get close to Sherlock turns into something else when Janine admits she's attracted to Molly. They initially settle for friendship but things become complicated when secrets, blackmail, returned attraction and failing engagements are thrown into the mix, and Molly has to decide what she wants for herself and what she's willing to do to get it.
Authors Notes: x_disturbed_x, I have to say, this was an absolute blast to write. I actually got so into it that it was completely finished within 24 hours of me starting it, and I was asleep for eight of them. This is my first time writing a femmeslash ship for the fandom, and you had so many wonderful ideas that it was so hard to choose. I ended up settling on the two that intrigued me the most, Janine and Molly hit it off after the wedding. Before they start something, Molly ought to break up with Tom first. and Janine happens to be Irene’s ex. I'm sorry it isn't really explicit, because I usually write maybe PG-13 when I write femmeslash, but there is definite angst in this and it does have a happy ending, I promise. And I got to play around with canon, so hopefully you can see this happening between "The Sign of Three" and the aftermath of Christmas Day in "His Last Vow," which is what my intent had been.
Also, credit where credit is due: the notion of potential love was found on Tumblr and was taken almost verbatim from a post by cascadingletters, and the title of the fic comes from the song by Norah Jones.
