Why this must be read:
Sherlock has a positive dearth of female characters (basically, it's Sarah, Sally, Molly, and "Anthea" plus various episodic villains and victims, all having very little real screentime), so I really enjoy it when fandom deigns to make up for that lack (where are Irene and Mary?!). Molly is a puzzling one. She seems like such a simpering little floormat on the show, but sometimes she has these flashes of something deeper. This story? Delves deeper, while still keeping Molly's essentially sweet and slightly pathetic personality intact. I also love how this author portrays Lestrade and Sherlock, the gentleman and the cad. Good, heartwarming read.
“It’s fine, really,” she says.
“Really?”
She sighs and traces the path of a bead of moisture on her glass. “Well, not really. But, it’s… better? I guess.”
“Well, ‘better’ is better than worse,” he says with a slight grin. She can’t help returning the expression.
“How are you?” she asks. “I heard you found the person responsible for the boys today.”
“Yeah,” he says taking another healthy swallow of the scotch. “He was shockingly easy to find, when I think about it. And we managed to stop him from killing the fourth boy. Just wish...”
“You could have found him sooner?” she offers.
“Yeah,” he says looking into his glass at the remaining liquid. “Sooner would have been grand.”
Greg finishes off the scotch and eyes her glass.
“Now is that only half full or half empty?” he asks.
Molly actually giggles and says, “I was wondering that earlier.”
“And what did you decide on?”
“Half empty.”
“Ah, good girl,” he says with a nod. “Always lovely to meet another pessimist. Would you like another?”
