Wow, can a serious piece that has such mystery and death and mundane life, post Sherlock, be actually delightful? I guess it can, because this is delightful. I really like Molly's divided emotions about Sherlock and about how she's seen; Irene also lives her life in people's gaze, and I felt a little bit like she was identifying with Molly when she referred to what people are saying about her.

I'd love to read them together in this verse.

Beautiful writing!

I adore your Molly. She's shy without being weak.

Awesome as always! Great Molly voice and I could so see the pain and world-weariness in your Irene and how she can't let ANYONE get to close and how well she understands WHY John doesn't like her.

This is BRILLIANT. (Also, in my head, AND THEN THERE WERE SEXINGS.)
