he needed something. something to make him seem less loser-y. he needed you.
spencer reid’s high school reunion was right around the corner. said high school reunion had all of the kids who would make fun of him, pick on him. the ones that stripped him naked on a pole. now he was 26 and in the bau for the fbi. he was successful. he made his mark. he saved lives.
but he still didn’t have a significant other. he didn’t have someone to come home to. he would have to go to his high school reunion with the knowledge that everyone was still more successful than him in the relationship aspect because he didn’t have that special someone.
“kid,” morgan intervened, “don’t let something like that make you not go to the reunion. you’re successful now. you’re pretty boy. that alone will rub it in their faces.”
“i know but everyone’s probably in a relationship now. they might even have kids and a wife or husband. i just... i want to seem like something to them,” he placed the lid on his coffee cup and began walking with morgan back to his desk.
“then ask someone to go with you. i know a little someone who wouldn’t mind posing as your girlfriend for a few nights,” morgan nudged his shoulder.
“morgan,” he rolled his eyes. “you know who i actually want to go with, which means you also know that she won’t want to go with me,” he finished explaining.
“y/n?” morgan whispered. “the girl who’s been fawning over you since she got here? the new liaison that’s been here for over a year that you still haven’t asked out?”
spencer turned his face to look at you through your office window. you were busy filing through cases, your head down in focus as you bit your lower lip while concentrating. your hair was crowding your face, obstructing the view of the beauty spencer has become mesmerized by.
“reeiidd,” morgan sang mockingly. “that just proves my theory. ask her out already.”
“i don’t want to ruin things, morgan,” he sighed as he sat down at his desk. “i wouldn’t even know how to ask her. i’ve barely kissed a girl, let alone ask one out.”
“you don’t have to ask her out, really,” he sat atop his desk. “just mention the situation and say she was the first person that came to mind, flatter her.”
“morgan, drop it,” spencer hissed as the bau filled a bit more.
“just ask her to go with you,” he said a bit louder.
“ask who to go where?” your voice rang through his ears, he liked up to see morgan smirking.
“uhm ask...” he ran his mind for another answer besides the truth.
“i know when you’re trying to come up with a lie, spence,” you chuckled.
“fine,” he sighed. “i wanted to ask if you’d mind going to my high school reunion with me?” he couldn’t meet your eyes.
“oh sure! that sounds fun,” you agreed. “why were you so nervous to ask?”
“well, you see,” he cleared his throat. “everyone in my class has a significant other and i just wanted to seem a bit less like a loser.”
“spencer you aren’t a loser,” you said sympathetically. “you save lives on a daily basis, you’re crazy smart, you have the sweetest personality, and you’re gorgeous. there’s nothing loser-y about you.”
“re-really?” he asked.
“of course, really,” you nodded, placing a hand on his shoulder. “and if you’d want me to pose as your girlfriend i’d be more than honored,” you added with a chuckle.
“thank you, y/n,” he smiled. “it-it means a lot to me.”
“of course. but for now,” you motioned to the files in your hand, “it’s case time.”
-
after a couple of months had passed, the reunion was finally upon the two of you. spencer had insisted on paying for your ticket to vegas because ‘he got you into this mess in the first place.’
you and spencer had to reserve one hotel room - courtesy of the school reunion. they just so happened to decide to allow the two of you to share one bed. it was reasonable, and cost efficient.
as the two of you entered the room, you were surprisingly caught off guard with not only the one bed in the room, but also with how nice the hotel room was. out on the balcony there was a jacuzzi that was covered by an awning. when you looked in the bathroom, there was a rather large tub and a separate shower adjacent to it.
“wow,” you awed. “this place is really nice.”
“i didn’t expect this,” he added. “i guess they saved the money from my actual high school years.”
you plopped down in the center of the bed, sighing as the soft mattress curved around your back, “i could really get used to this.”
“yea, me too,” he took the time to gawk at you as you seemed so peaceful, lying on the bed. “we uhm,” he cleared his throat, “we should probably start getting ready for tonight.”
“alright,” you groaned, slowly sitting up to prepare for the evening.
-
walking into his old high school, spencer felt a wave of nostalgia mixed with bile rising in his throat. this place was absolute hell for him. he was teased, ridiculed, practically tortured for being special.
“hey,” you squeezed his arm, which yours was wrapped around. “you’ve got this, spence. you aren’t the same defenseless kid you were back then,” you stopped him in the middle of the hallway and placed your hands on his shoulders, gently massaging them. “you are a successful adult with an amazing job and friends to support you. plus, you have a really hot girlfriend by your side,” you both chuckled at that.
“thank you,” he took a deep breath. “thank you for being here.”
“it’s my honor,” you placed your arm in the crook of his once more. “shall we?”
“we shall,” he smiled as you entered the gymnasium of his old high school.
spencer tried his best to avoid any glances or possible stares. it was nerve wracking, being here with his previous bullies. granted, with you by his side he was far less worried.
you had found a group of people he used to hang out with. he was never close with people in high school, but these kids at least didn’t make fun of him. they were all proud to see that the former child prodigy is now using his gifts for the betterment of their country. you had even seen his old math teacher that took a liking for him many years ago.
“spencer?” he heard a very familiar, chill-inducing voice. he looked up to see none other than her.
alexa lisbon.
“spencer,” she chuckled. “it’s me, alexa.”
he felt your grip on him tighten, reasonably so since you knew about what had happened.
“h-hi,” he stuttered out.
alexa wasn’t as beautiful as she was in high school. it’s true what they say about those who peek in high school, he presumes.
“how’ve you been? i heard you work for the fbi now?” she placed a hand on his shoulder, which he resisted swatting away.
“yup. the behavioral analysis unit,” he looked at you before wrapping his arm around your shoulder. “i actually met her there, at work.”
“...her? are you two...?” she retracted her hand from his shoulder as you curled into his chest.
luckily, you two had already worked out the kinks of your “relationship.” where you met, first date, how long, everything was figured out.
“yes. for six months now, actually,” he smiled and looked down at you. “it’s been an amazing time with her. i wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. i love you.”
“i love you too, sweetie,” you gave him a chaste peck on the cheek, noticing his blush once you retreated.
“well, that’s... nice,” she almost grimaced as she gazed over you. “how did he manage to get a girl like you?”
“like me?” you asked for clarification.
“y’know... beautiful?” she lent in towards you as if spencer wouldn’t be able to hear what she had said.
“excuse you?” you scoffed.
“you heard me,” she rolled her eyes.
“no, i heard you. i was just wanting to give you the chance to realize how incredibly dumb you sounded, but apparently you truly are just that. dumb,” you placed a hand on spencer’s chest protectively. “this is one of the strongest, smartest, and most brave men i’ve ever met. he protects our country every day by using his own intelligence, something you clearly lack. so next time you ever think about insulting him or me, i suggest you ask yourself whether or not your even deserving of talking to him.”
“i-i just-“
“just nothing,” you interrupted. “how about you go and annoy someone else with your lack of brain cells?” and she walked away with a roll of her eyes.
“i can’t believe her,” you scoffed, turning around to look directly at spencer.
“you uhm, you didn’t have to stand up for me like that,” he whispered.
“i wanted to,” you wrapped your arms around his torso. “she’s a bitch and it seemed like nobody has ever put her in her place. i’m glad i got the honor to do so,” you gloated.
“i know. but thank you,” he sighed, briefly looking over his shoulder. “i think she’s still looking.”
“do you trust me?” you placed your hands on the side of his face, drawing his attention to only you.
“always,” he nodded as you got on your tip-toes, gently pulling his face into your own.
he placed his hands hesitantly on your waist, helping to hoist you up to meet his own lips. it was better than he’d imagined - and boy, did he imagine this. you were gentle, and delicate but provided the passion that spencer shared with you, pulling his bottom lip between your own and gently nibbling it. he let one of his hands trail up your body, going to the back of your head to deepen the kiss. at this point, he had forgotten all about alexa and the other students at the reunion. it was just you and him.
“can we-“ you whispered softly to him, your forehead pressed against his, “can we get out of here?”
“please,” he breathed out as you grabbed his hand, pulling him back through the doors of the gymnasium to exit.
-
as soon as you opened the room, you were on each other. you nearly tore his jacket off of him as he worked on the dress you had worn. he wanted to take his time, to relish in this moment while it lasted, but his own eagerness betrayed him. he was far too excited to be able to slow down.
his hands roamed your body, pawing at the soft tissue of your breasts over your bra as you moaned into his mouth.
“take it off,” you sighed, allowing him to reach behind you and unclasp the clothing.
“fuck,” he awed upon seeing your bare chest, you giggled at his eagerness.
as he gawked at your chest, it was almost as if something had clicked in your mind. and he saw that it had.
“have you... done this before?” you asked, your hands moving down to his shoulders.
“like am i a... a virgin?” he bit his lower lip as he saw you nod. “... yes.”
it didn’t truly surprise you. he had never had a long term girlfriend, and as a child prodigy sex was probably pushed to the back burner.
“are you sure you want your first time to be with me? i’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be special,” you smiled half heartedly.
“of course i want to do it with you. was your first time special?” he rebutted, maybe he knew it wasn’t special ahead of time.
“you deserve for yours to be, though,” you tried to reason.
“it will be if it’s with you, please,” he let his hands trail to your waist as he gave you his best puppy dog eyes, pleading for you to keep going.
“and you’re sure?”
“so sure,” he whispered, smiling before connecting your lips once more.
you were content with that answer. he felt your hands wound in his hair once more, gently tugging at the locks to elicit a groan from spencer. you slowly pushed him back to sit on the bed and straddled his hips, his hands still firm on your waist. clearly, he still wasn’t sure if he was allowed to touch. placing your hands atop his, you trailed them to the front of your body, stopping them once they reached your breasts. he looked up at you with eyes seeking approval, which you granted in the form of a nod. he leisurely took one of them into his mouth, your head rolling back in pleasure from the feeling. his hand continued to work on the opposite side, tweaking the nipple when he took it between his teeth.
“so good to me, spence,” you praised from his lap, slowly grinding against his bulge to seek any form of relief.
you were both getting more and more eager as the time passed, evident by the groans and whimpers that left each other’s mouths. because if this, you ran your hand down his front and let it remain over the bulge before gently stroking it.
“y/n...” he murmured. “please, i-i need...”
“need what, baby?” you asked with a smile. “need my mouth on you? need inside of me? tell me, sweet boy.”
“anything,” he decided to go with. “i need anything.”
“how about i just...” you got off of him to remove your pants before looking back at the man sitting before you. “care to even the playing field?”
“ri-right,” he chuckled before standing up to undo his belt and throw his pants off, followed by unbuttoning his shirt.
“so fucking pretty,” you walked closer to him and slid off your panties. “do you think i’m pretty, too?”
“i-i- of course, i do,” he reached for your waist hesitantly, eyeing your now bare pussy, his nerves not getting the better of him.
“yea?” you straddled him once more but this time pushed his torso down so he was lying on the bed.
he felt your hand trace his bulge that was still trapped inside of his boxers. the light touch was enough for him to whimper. he wanted nothing more than to make you feel good, but he was too mesmerized by the feeling of you.
“morgan has a point when he calls you pretty boy,” your lips were now happily decorating his neck. “i’ve never met a man who i can confidently call pretty, yet here you are.”
“plea-please,” his hips bucked up before you reached inside of his boxers, pulling him out of the fabric.
“before we keep going,” you paused for a moment. “i have condoms in my bag, but i’m clean and on the pill if you’d want to...”
“... not wear one?” you nodded your head. “i’m clearly clean, too. and i just - i really want to feel you.”
“perfect,” you chuckled. “let me do the work, baby,” you sat up temporarily, placing his dick just below your center. “you feel that? how wet i am?”
“yes, god, yes. i feel it,” his hips bucking forward allowed his dick to rub between your folds.
“that’s from you, my sweet boy. all you,” you ground your hips against his member once more, sending his head flying back from the friction.
“please,” he breathed out with obvious frustration. “i-i won’t last long if you keep going.”
“alright, i’ve got you,” you finally rose your hips, reaching between the two of you so you could line him up with your entrance before slowly sinking down on him.
“oh my god,” he whimpered. “you’re-you’re so tight and wet and - god.”
“does this feel as good for you?” you asked as you stayed stationary on his lap, trying to let him soak in this experience as much as he could.
“probably better, if i’m being honest,” he let his hands grip your hips with a bruising touch, too eager to realize his own strength.
“i doubt that,” slowly, you rose your hips before dropping them back down.
spencer’s hands found their way up to your chest, gently pawing at them with fascination. his hips began to meet yours as you picked up the pace.
“fuck, it feels so good,” he cried out, placing one arm around your waist so he could fuck you from beneath.
“ditto, pretty boy,” you groaned as his hips picked up the pace. “so fucking eager, baby. you feel so good inside of me. cum whenever you need to, baby. i want you to cum inside me.”
“fuck - i’m gonna - i-i-“ his hips thrusted up one more time before spurts of his cum filled you up. “oh, fuck!”
“oh, you did so good, sweet boy,” you stroked his hair as he fucked his cum into you, trying to ride out his orgasm. “so, so good.”
you continued to rub his shoulders and stroke his hair as he came down from his high.
“you didn’t come,” he whispered against your chest.
“it’s alright. i still enjoyed myself,” you smiled at the sentiment. “sex isn’t always about coming. it’s also about the intimacy.”
“but i wanted you to come, too,” he nearly whined. “can i... can i make you feel good, too?”
“how do you wanna do that sweet boy?” you wanted to hear him say it, that much was obvious.
“you know,” he turned his head on your chest, placing a chaste kiss on your breast.
“do i?” you tugged gently at his hair to hear him whimper once more.
“please, can i...” he lowered his voice to a whisper, “perform oral on you?”
“oh, i love it when you talk dirty to me, doctor reid,” you sighed with a soft chuckle. “of course you can.”
you lifted yourself off of him before he slowly rolled you over, kissing his way down your body to meet with your center. he placed a soft kiss to your clit before licking a broad stroke up your slit, cleaning up the mess he made inside of you.
“fuck, good boy,” he moaned at the praise, wanting to hear more and more every day.
and he worked for the praise. he lapped at your center and sucked lightly on your clit, quickly building the tension inside of your stomach. once he entered his finger, unprompted, you questioned how experienced he truly was. he curled the finger inside of you expertly, trying to find your g-spot and successfully doing so. it was only a few stroked from inside of you and sucking on your clit for a few more seconds when you came on his fingers, tugging on his hair and digging your nails into his shoulder.
“fuck, spencer!” you moaned out, throwing your head back as he worked you through your own high.
once you had come down, it took pulling spencer up by his shoulders for him to let up on your pussy. that man might’ve been made to eat a girl out.
“you did so fucking good, spence,” you praised before connecting your lips, gently sucking on his tongue.
“that was...” he trailed off, trying to think of the right word to describe it. “it was enticing,” he settled on.
“yea?” you chuckled against his lips.
“yea,” he smiled back before sucking your bottom lip between his own. “thank you, for this.”
“thank you for trusting me with this,” your fingers twirled his locks between your fingers.
“i don’t know how this normally works but... i think i just really want to-i want to...” he squinted his eyebrows before ripping the bandaid off, not wanting to sound too squishy. “can we just cuddle? i think i need to feel close to you.”
“of course we can, spence,” you replied. “but first i need to pee. i refuse to get a uti,” you quickly got up and ran to the bathroom, returning later and finding him cuddled underneath the sheets, leaving space on the bed beside him for you.
once you had laid down, he laid his head on your still bare chest. he loved the closeness and intimacy being bare with you had, and he had never felt it before.
spencer knew he had chosen the right person to not only share his high school reunion with, but also share his first time with. perhaps you would be the first, and last.

Hi! I've been feeling really down, as well as frustrated and sad these past few days and I guess I'm here for a bit of reassurance maybe? Your blog was what opened my eyes to Ziam and also to the stunt ot4 v Zayn and all that, about a year ago, so I'm quite new. Your masterposts especially have been very informative! So basically I trust your judgement in this as someone who's been here a while and gone through it. Anyway, I completely believe in Ziam along with Larry now (been a Larrie (1)
(2) a long while) and I also believe all bbg's are fake etc. The thing I still get confused about/doubt sometimes, is the whole Harry&Louis & Zayn 'feud' thing. Most days I'm sure in my heart that all the twitter fights and post-interviews being mad at Z is all fake and part of a narrative. Zayn honestly even put lyrics to a song about a fight before actual fight for fucks sake?! Also it was all so ridiculous and public, childish, etc. it can't possibly have been real. Then his 'falling out
(3) with NB in the end. Also what ELSE (if not that 'fight') could they have been mad at him for? For 'leaving' because of his health (or whatever they said was the reason)? And after all this time still being mad/or at least bringing it up? Sounds very unlike H&L too doesn't it? Then I remember rbb/sbb, and this is something I've researched TOO MUCH honestly. Some people still refuse to even admit it was there or that it meant ANYTHING. But that goddamn yellow smiley was there several times
(4) after the 'twitter fight'. Why would that be the case? Also Ziam being together, and Louis being so close with Liam and hating on his man? It just doesn't add up anywhere. Sorry I know this is just me sounding very insecure about it all and atm I kinda am. I was having a discussion with a Larrie the other day. One of the bigger blogs with a big influence and lots of people reblogged and agreed with them, when I was trying to point out how I think 1D as a 'whole' are still being under some
(5) form of contract or image clause at the very least. They said the whole contract thing is fanfiction at this point (besides Louis essentially) and the other boys are all free to do whatever. They also don't believe in Ziam or that Zayn is friends with the boys at all. Mentioned how Harry is still 'salty' about him in interviews etc etc. They are so SURE of themselves. But yeah even though I mostly KNOW I still doubt on this because of the fucked up narratives. what if H&L / Zayn really did
(7) has been a stunt? Not saying they hang out as best friends these days maybe, what with their own lives and pandemic on top of it, but do you still think they're 'family'/ot5forever'? I honestly feel like I get gaslighted even by Larries these days and it's not much fun to follow them anymore :( Seeing Harry with Niall made me smile though! Gives me at least some hope that they still are close xx //This got very long, I'm so sorry. You can answer in tags if you wish :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number 6 never seems to have made it to my inbox. Good job numbering them, though, because I never would have realized one was missing otherwise.
Anyway, I hate to say it, but talking to Larries is a fraught prospect. Almost all of the people who still call themselves Larries don’t believe in Ziam and it’s because they’ve never bothered to actually look at the evidence. They don’t treat all of the boys with the same respect or interest that they treat Harry and Louis, so any time you try to convince them of a stunt related to Liam, Zayn, or Niall, they’re likely going to make their decision based on nothing but bias and refuse to budge on it no matter how much evidence you have. Taking their word on Louis being the only one still under contract/sabotaged when they clearly don’t pay any attention to what’s actually going on with the other boys would be foolish. You can always try to change a Larrie’s mind and maybe there should always be people that do try, but from my perspective, it’s just a depressing and infuriating situation to put yourself in.
At best, I would have those conversations privately, especially if the blog has a lot of influence. A blog with a lot of influence has ulterior motives to not changing their views publicly because if they do, they may well lose followers. You may have a chance of getting them to look at evidence if you’re talking in private though.
I know the whole 1D friendship thing is hard right now because it’s been more than 5 years since they’ve really interacted. We’ve gotten some Niam, Nouis, and Lilo here and there, but most of that is just talk even, no pics. Because we have no immediate evidence of their friendship in front of us, all we have to rely on is interviews which we KNOW are BS-narrative machines. It’s hard to ignore them when it’s all we have, but we should ignore them anyway because past experience has taught us just how much interviews push stunt narratives.
I would actually say the whole Narry outing recently gives us more to believe in than anything else. If Harry and Niall hung out completely in public and we only found out about it through a picture a week or two later that could easily have never been identified by a fan, then it’s pretty likely that all the boys have managed to hang out whenever they want without being noticed, right? Especially if they went to each other’s houses instead of to a public hiking trail. There’s so much going on behind the scenes that we don’t have access to or knowledge of. Zayn could have hung out with any one of the boys at any time because we hardly know where he is. He’s almost never even on social media, so there are huge chunks of time where he’s unaccounted for.
The hiatus is hard specifically because of a lack of new information and because the status quo (in terms of the BS narrative) has had no reason to change for a long time. I’ve said it before, but with Zayn’s situation, the only time after hiatus started that it makes narrative and business sense to reverse the “feud” narrative is leading up to a reunion. That means we most likely WILL NOT see any improvement until a reunion approaches and with the pandemic, that’s definitely not happening this year and probably not even next. It sucks, but the status quo of BS being maintained is what we should expect right now and just because it IS being maintained isn’t a sign of anything having worsened. It’s just logical. If you want to use the hype of a reconciliation to get fans excited, to sell tickets, to earn money, etc., then you need to wait until a reunion so that you HAVE tickets to sell and money to earn.
I would say hold on to the logical conclusions you can come to from the time when we had a lot of information to go off of (the OTRA tour and just after) and try not to read into anything happening now because there’s just about NOTHING happening right now and there’s just not enough data to find patterns and draw conclusions about the reality behind the fakery.
#one direction#bakagamieru#I hope that helps#when I say 'Larries' I don't mean everyone that believes in Larry#because I'm pretty sure most people who believe in Ziam also believe in Larry#but pretty much none of them call themselves Larries#Anonymous

“Morning, Master!”
A light swing of the wicker basket in attendance serves as Ventus’s wave. It’s set in the grass as he kneels down to the grave marker, putting the assemblage of glossy yellow petals within on full display. Taking note of this, he glances between the blooms and the keyblade’s grip, leveling with the latter as if it were a set of eyes.
“Sorry. They’re not your favorites. It’s still a little too early for those—but buttercups are pretty too, aren’t they?”
The breeze picks up a bit, carrying the crisp smell of a nearby waterfall and tickling the boy’s nape. He crosses his legs, draws the mortuary wreath into his lap and, one by one, unravels the wilting flowers that he and Aqua had spruced it up with a week and a half ago, allowing his thoughts to flow freely all throughout.
“A bunch of things have been on my mind lately. I’m not sure where to start.” Fingers falter, resume their work in double time, then falter again. “I guess the biggie is… I wanna put on a happy face for Aqua and Terra. They’ve got fun plans for the day and I owe it to them to let ‘em know just how much I appreciate it and everything they do. It feels like there’s never been a time where they haven’t been looking out for me… but all I can think about is how scary it is that I’m gonna be taking my exam in a year.”
He laughs. It’s a weak, lackluster sound.
“Between you and me, I probably won’t be ready by then. Or ever.”
“You’re doing it again!”
Ventus’s hands recoil from the arrangement of wood and plantae, upper body twisting as he whips to identify the source of the echo. On cue, Chirithy makes their presence known, the puff of brightly colored smoke they generate dispersing completely by the time their pudgy little limbs make contact with the ground.
“Huh—wha—”
They heave a frustrated sigh, pointing straight at Ventus after it runs its course.
“Selling yourself short!”
The addressed’s mouth contorts into a deep frown, heat sprinting to the tips of his ears.
“Yeah, well… you’re doing that thing you do again!”
“Huh? What thing?”
“Listening in! And sneaking up on me!”
“Oh.” Chirthy shakes their head in apology, ears flopping with each motion. “Sorry. You never used to mind all that much, so…”
Those words wash over Ventus like a bucket of cool water over the head.
“No. It’s okay,” he’s quick to reassure, volume and posture backpedaling. “It’s gonna take some getting used to. That’s all.”
Neither comment on the fact that this isn’t the first time they’ve had this sort of exchange, nor that it’s been a hearty sum of months since they resumed being a part of one another's lives. It would be redundant. Instead, Ventus tries an encouraging smile and waves his old friend over, who responds in kind with a gravity defying hop and flourish.
Chirithy isn’t built for the precision work that the assembly of a wreath demands, but they’re still eager to be of some assistance, so Ventus tasks them with passing him leaves, flowers and stems in accordance with aesthetics and the obligation to conceal the frame beneath. In no time at all, they’ve settled into an easy rhythm that suits both of their paces.
Their progress is so palpable that they’re nearing completion not five minutes after they had gotten started, at which point Chirithy pipes up.
“This is a nice ritual,” they supply, their enthusiastic rocking and crescent shaped eyes catching Ventus’s gaze. “I’ve never done anything like it.”
“You—I mean, we—didn’t do stuff like this back when?”
“Nope. Spirits and their keyblade wielders… one day, they’d be there. Then, the next...” The silence lasts for mere moments, but it’s cavernous and aching all the same. “We mourned for our friends, sure, but nobody ever thought anything of it. Or to celebrate.”
There’s a great deal that could be drawn from that somber piece of knowledge. Ventus should be taking the necessary steps to digest some of it, or at the very least, endeavor to learn more. It’s rare for Chirithy to speak of the past of their own accord. Ordinarily, they’ll tighten their lips at the foggiest mention. Without a doubt, this is an opportunity to make the most of—and yet, the blonde allows himself to become preoccupied with the creature’s throwaway observation instead.
“Celebrate?” It’s repeated slowly, inflection reminiscent of one that might accompany a word sourced from a foreign tongue. “Is… that what you think this is? What I’m doing?”
“Sure! What else?” Chirithy pads closer, setting a paw over one of Ventus’s downturned palms and the wreath in turn. “This artifact, which you and your friends have made with your own hands… it’s so lively and colorful. And he was your Master, wasn’t he? It only makes sense that you’d want to keep his life in your memory. Flowers sure are a beautiful way to do it.”
It couldn’t be clearer that there’s been some sort of severe disconnect between the two. The boy’s emeralds have widened, still meeting Chirithy’s stare, but not seeing. Then, all at once, the tears come cascading down.
“Ven?! What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”
“Nothing. It’s nothing. It’s just…” His shrill hiccup is the first of many. “I want to remember him—and I wa-want to do it fondly. I really, really do. But whenever somebody says his name, I’m never thinking about how much I miss him... o-or that I wish he was still around. I don’t miss him. N-Not like they do. I just... feel sc-scared. And angry. ‘Cause the very last time I saw him alive, he wanted me dead. He didn’t even give me a chance.” Clenched teeth sink and hide behind the knees Ventus draws to his chest. Master Eraqus’s wreath falls casualty to the abrupt movement, tipping from its already precarious position on his thigh and plopping onto the ground just aside. “So… I dunno if celebrating is something I can do. Not with my whole heart, anyway.”
His spirit companion remains silent, ears drooped despondently. Their paw has since moved to the small of his back.
“I’m sorry. For my heart not being in this. For being so different.” Another humorless huff of laughter. “It’s gotta be tough. You thought you were about to reunite with an old friend, but really, you were jumping into the arms of a total stranger.”
Intent on challenging that notion, Chirithy perks up, administering a faint pat to the boy’s bared skin.
“You have nothing to be sorry for, Ven. If you ask me, it’s a good thing that you’re a different person now.”
There’s a hasty intake of breath on Ventus’s part, a surefire sign that he convinced himself he could anticipate the essence of whatever Chirithy was about to say and fire off the cookie cutter response he had raring to go, but he cuts himself off the moment that reality and their actual sentiment catches up to him.
At a pace slower than a snail’s, he lowers his folded arms and lifts his head. It’s just enough to establish eye contact again.
“It is?”
The spirit bobs as confirmation, glee radiating from the subtleties of their expression and timbre entirely sincere.
“Mhmm! The Ven I used to know would’ve let anybody do him harm. He would’ve thought that he deserved it, too. So if you’re mad and think that what happened was wrong—and it was, by the way—then you’ve changed for the better.”
Unreservedly speechless, Ventus straightens his posture, capable of nothing other than that and goggling at Chirithy.
“And… admittedly, I probably should have picked and chose my words a bit better. I already knew that your relationship with your Master wasn’t the best.”
At that, the boy disentangles his limbs completely, appearing almost panicked.
“H-How? I’ve never...”
“From the moment we were separated, I’ve been watching over you,” they admit, floating up before Ventus in hopes that he’ll catch them—and he does. “Anyone could tell just by looking and listening. He was a step up from your last Master, but he still made you miserable. And after what he did to you… what he tried to do to you… who wouldn’t feel the way that you do?”
Once more, Ventus curls forward. This time, rather than collapsing in on himself, he embraces Chirithy.
“Then... there’s nothing else to say about it, is there?”
“Not unless you want there to be.”
He counts to ten, then backwards from ten, digits finding comfort in the texture of the other’s fur.
“I think I do. But not right now.”
“That’s okay too,” Chirithy coos, nuzzling against the side of his face. “After all, it is your special day. You should spend it how you want to.”
The air begins to move again, and time along with it. When they inevitably part, it’s only for the sake of bringing the wreath to completion. With it assembled, hung in its proper place and the now emptied basket’s handle stable on the crook of Ventus’s arm, he beckons to his friend once more. Just like the day of their reunion, Chirithy bounds straight for his chest.
Once they’re settled, the keyblade wielder bounces them in arms.
“Say, Chirithy—when’s your birthday?”
“Huh? Mine?” If they had the capacity to blink rapidly, this would be the perfect opportunity. “Spirits don’t have birthdays. We’re created, and then... that’s that.”
“Then we’re coming up with one! ASAP.”
“W-We are?!”
“Yeah! ‘Course! Everybody needs a birthday, even if it’s not the one they’re s’posed to have.” Ventus cradles Chirithy just a smidge tighter, grinning brilliantly as he falls into familiar step along the mountain path. “C’mon. Terra and Aqua are waiting. Let’s go ask ‘em how they picked mine!”
The spirit’s surprise fades, and in its place, happiness swells.
“O-Okay!”

Boys in Brass
Hey remember that time (today) when I wrote an angsty Riker/Worf AU fic where they were teens in their high school orchestra??
Boys in Brass
Worf, son of Mogh, put down his trumpet in disgust. William “Call-Me-Will” Riker sat on the stool opposite him and tisked, concerned for the fate of Enterprise High’s orchestra at the regional tournament this Saturday. The two teens were onstage, alone in the school’s shockingly lavish auditorium, Will having declared that he would “dedicate the rest of the week trying to help the new Klingon kid with the material.”
Worf sighed. It was already Thursday.
“Look,” Will said, a fuzzy warmth in his voice as he looked directly into Worf’s eyes, “We need you. And you know what? You can do this. We can do this. Now, let’s take it from the top, okay, Worf?”
* * * * * * * * *
Will, the orchestra’s nearly virtuosic and sole trombonist (and consequently, somewhat of a teacher’s pet), had approached Mr. Picard, the orchestra’s director, earlier that afternoon and argued that if Worf wasn’t ready, they should just sit him out.
“You know as well as I do, Mr. Riker, that our Miles is no Davis,” Picard grumbled. “O’Brien’s lungs are shallower than his ego, and that’s saying something. Worf, on the other hand…”
Mr. Picard grimaced and sighed, rubbing his hand along his bald head anxiously. “While the boy is not quite refined, you’ve heard the sheer power with which he plays, correct?”
Will’s eye twitched as he stared at Picard’s goldfish, which was the only hint of any personality in the celebrity of a band director’s surprisingly blank office. Will knew of Picard’s brilliance and artistry. The man had an inspiring streak of success, being a prodigy similar to himself in his youth. His admiration for Picard had never wavered, but Will was beginning to grow weary of his director’s cryptic wisdom. And it wouldn’t hurt to throw up a motivational poster of some kind.
“You’re right,” Will managed to say, “Worf does have the potential. With the strings having trouble, too, I know you can’t help him yourself. Why don’t you get Miles to do it? He’s the actual trumpeter.”
“Miles O’Brien,” Picard began, lowering his voice to a hush as if Miles were just outside the door, “would not be capable of appeasing Mr. Worf’s reluctant nature. I am very aware, Mr. Riker, that you are equally competent with the trumpet as you are with trombone. You are free to use a school trumpet if you so desire, and perhaps assigning you to help Worf can also…”
Picard raised his eyes to meet Will’s. He grinned a knowing grin and raised his eyebrows.
“Ugh, I know, I know, sir,” Will said, embarrassed. “Keep me out of trouble.”
“Very good, then, Will. I’m investing my complete confidence in you. Dismissed!”
Will nodded and began heading out of the office before he stopped himself and added, “If it takes me all week, I will get Worf to our level, sir.”
* * * * * * * * *
“It’s hopeless, Will,” Worf said. “This solo is too complicated. My old school played much simpler music without all of the annoying melodic nuance of this Jean Baptiste Arban that your director chose for us to play.”
Will made a strange face, as if something Worf said had been absurd.
“What? Why are you making that face?” Worf exclaimed, already irritated at himself and now ready to be irritated with Will.
“It’s just…” Will began. “You know, I’d like to know what kind of music you played at your old school. What, do you not like ‘The Carnival of Venice’?”
“That is not the issue,” Worf growled. “I’ll have you know that I very much indeed like this music. The problem is that I am used to the triumphant. The bombastic! The way that you hold your trumpet, how you somehow flutter your fingers so quickly and correctly…I cannot achieve that level of dexterity.”
“Worf, I’ve told you before and I’ll tell you again,” Will said, “practice makes perfect. And besides, you’re getting better. That solo is a killer and it isn’t your fault that you’re not nailing such a high-level part.”
Sighing again, Worf raised his trumpet and turned his sheet music back to the beginning of his solo.
It was already 7:00 PM, and even Mr. Picard and the strings had left hours ago, having perfected their toughest parts.
In the middle of Worf’s umpteenth try, two heads began to bob up out of the orchestra pit. Worf, startled, nearly dropped his trumpet as Geordi and Data emerged, their school uniforms somewhat disheveled.
“How long were you two down there?” Riker called to the duo. “And weren’t you supposed to be practicing with the strings, Data? I swear I didn’t see either of you come in.”
“Oh, um,” Geordi began, “we—”
“We were merely going over Geordi’s flute part, Will,” Data interjected. “The transition was really stumping him. Oh, and the director let me go early because I was the only one who had mastered the parts. We must have gotten here before you two.”
“Y-yeah!” Geordi said, clearing his throat, “That’s all we were doing down there!”
Worf and Riker exchanged skeptical glances at each other, and then looked at Geordi.
“Hey, don’t look at me like that!” he said with a nervous quiver in his voice. “Anyway, Worf, you’re starting to really sound pretty good, right, Data?”
Data glanced between Will and Worf emotionlessly and merely nodded his head slowly, turning to look cluelessly at Geordi.
“Data! I’m sorry about him, guys. You can really be tactless, sometimes, you know that, Data? Come on, let’s get outta here.”
Muttering angrily, Geordi grabbed Data’s arm and the two gradually made their way out of the auditorium up an aisle while Worf and Will watched, captivated by their buffoonery.
“That was…something,” Worf finally said, still wondering what they were doing down there. “What’s their deal?”
Will raised his eyebrows and chuckled to himself. “You mean, you can’t tell, Worf? They’re painfully obvious about it, even during class. Of course, they want to keep it a secret, but you could see it in Geordi’s eyes.”
Still confused, Worf cocked his head to the side slightly. “How could you see anything in Geordi’s eyes? He’s always wearing his VISOR.”
“You know what I mean! Even with that thing on, Geordi’s easier to read than a Garfield strip,” Will said. “I mean, isn’t is obvious? They’re dating, Worf.”
Worf felt his face heat up. He was aware that he tended to be a little dense, but this still made him feel foolish.
“Hey, don’t worry about it,” Will said, a playful undertone in his voice. “You and me got a date with each other right here and now.” He patted his stool. “Just a couple of horny boys blowing one out onstage, am I right?”
Even though he was aware that Will was joking, Worf was embarrassed that Will had the gall to utter such an innuendo.
“I’m sorry,” Will laughed, “you’re right. That was a bad one.”
Worf smiled. He had to admit, Will’s charisma was infectious.
* * * * * * * * *
It was nearly 11:00 PM when Will finally walked Worf home. Worf lived a block further than Will, so it was the least he could do for Worf, who had been working so hard all week.
“I’m glad your folks aren’t the type who get angry if you stay out late,” Will said, a hint of jealousy coating his words.
“They urge for me to ‘have fun’ and ‘be a teen,’ and for as much as they dote on me, they respect my privacy,” Worf responded informatively. “I sense from your tone that you may not experience the same leniency, Will.”
“Well, you sensed correctly, Worf.”
Suddenly, Will let out a cold, dark laugh and said, “My dad’s a complete hardass. No matter what I do, in his eyes, I’m doing it wrong. I get into fights at school? He doesn’t ask me about my side of the matter. I join the school’s orchestra and become the best trombonist they’ve seen in years? He says I should have gone for athletics. Nothing pleases that bastard, and at this point, I don’t know what will.”
Worf didn’t respond for a few moments, the sound of their footsteps against the pavement echoing among the houses of their neighborhood. Will hoped that Worf wouldn’t see his eyes beginning to water as they neared the next streetlight.
“I...I’m sorry to hear that, Will,” Worf said gently. “If it’s any consolation, I am certain that my parents wouldn’t mind you staying over. Especially if you do not feel comfortable at h--”
“Worf, please,” Will breathed, “I appreciate the sentiment. But you don’t have to--”
“I insist,” Worf said, a sudden sturdiness in his tone. “If it weren’t for my technical incompetencies with the trumpet, you would more than likely have gotten home at a reasonable hour.”
Under his breath, Will mumbled, “If only that were the case,” and sighed.
The two had finally approached Worf’s house. It was larger than Will’s, and much nicer. Thinking about it, Will was dreading the idea of going home and having to face his dad’s wrath. Worf’s offer was starting to sound more and more appealing.
“Thank you for walking with me, Will,” Worf said. “Now, are you sure that you don’t want to--”
“Worf! You’re back so late!” the friendly voice of a woman exclaimed from behind the screen of Worf’s front door. It swung open to reveal a small, portly woman, followed shortly by a man not much taller than she.
“I apologize, Mother. As the tournament draws nearer, I find it more and more imperative that I am able to get my parts learned effectively.”
“Oh, Worf, you have no need to worry!” Worf’s father said, beaming with pride. “Dedication is the key to success! I mean, look at this boy right here!” He gestured toward Will and graciously added, “A truly dedicated compatriot to our son here, eh, Helena?”
Worf’s mother nodded and smiled at Will. “Thank you so much for looking after our son. He tells us how skilled you are in the orchestra. We cannot wait to come and support you this Saturday!”
“Mother! You are embarrassing me,” Worf said.
Worf’s parents laughed at this, clearly enjoying Worf’s embarrassment.
Smiling sheepishly, Will backed away from the family reunion. “I guess I’ll be seeing you tomorrow, Worf.”
The family turned to face Will and bid him a fond farewell.
“Thank you again, Will,” Worf called as Will started to leave. “And if you change your mind, let me know!”
Will waved politely as he watched Worf and his family step back into their house. He knew that he wouldn’t be getting such a warm welcome upon his arrival home.
* * * * * * * * *
Sneaking through his own bedroom window was something Will had gotten used to in the past few years. Unfortunately, so had his father.
As Will silently placed the window cover back where it belonged on the frame, he turned and found himself face-to-face with his dad.
“Hey, dad,” Will said shakily, his voice betraying him as he slowly set down his trombone case. “I smell a nice new aftershave. What’s it called? ‘Four-or-five-beers’?”
Will’s dad said nothing and grabbed him by the arm, flinging him onto his bed.
Feeling the bruise from where his dad grabbed him, Will rubbed his arm and grimaced. “Must’ve been the whole six-pack, huh, dad?”
“Do you know what time it is, son?” his father spat.
“Dad, I’ve been over this with you. I’m helping my friend in the orchestra. We just went later than usual tonight, that’s all.”
“I don’t wanna hear it. I know what you’ve been doing after school. You should be ashamed of yourself,” he said, menace lurking somewhere in his voice.
Will swallowed, nervously staring at his father’s clenched fist. “I know. I got into a fight. But that was last week, dad. I swear, I’m only--”
His father kicked over his trombone case. “You don’t get a say in this. You are coming straight home after school tomorrow and cleaning this house. You got that?”
Anger welling up inside of him, Will’s eyes darted down to his toppled trombone case.
“Dad. I paid for that trombone myself. You need to be more careful with it. It’s expensive.”
“I’m sorry,” his dad said, clearly unapologetic. “Did I scratch up your little instrument, son?” He kicked the case again.
Now seething with rage, Will stood up and looked his father dead in the eye.
“Oh, man. If only mom could see what a piece of shit you’ve been to me all these years,” Will said, fire coating his insides.
This was the straw that broke his father’s back. He swung his fist into Will’s left cheek, knocking him down against his bed again. Feeling the swelling immediately, Will swept his dad’s legs and grabbed his trombone case. His dad fell backward, yelling.
Will escaped through the window again, narrowly avoiding his father’s grasping hands. Without thinking, he ran toward Worf’s house.
* * * * * * * * *
“I’m so sorry, I can’t apologize enough for causing such a ruckus.”
“No worries, no worries at all, my boy! You are free to stay here if you need to. I should be the one apologizing to you for the situation you are in.”
“Thank you, sir. So much, sir.”
Worf sat at the bottom of the stairs in his pajamas, watching as his father consoled a distraught Will. He hadn’t even fallen asleep before Will appeared at their front door again, cheek swollen and bruised, tears streaking down his face, trombone case in hand. As Worf’s father comforted Will, he could hear his mother’s voice coming from the kitchen. It sounded like she was calling the police.
“Yes, hello? I would like to report an incident of domestic violence. Me? No, I’m okay. However, my son’s friend appeared at our house with some bad bruises and said that his father had hit him. Yes, you want our address? It’s…”
Worf felt a pang of guilt as he watched his father place a bag of frozen peas on Will’s cheek.
“...Worf…”
If only he could get the hang of his solo sooner, this might not have happened.
“...Worf?”
And even with all the time he had wasted with no improvement today, they only had maybe a few more hours tomorrow to get it right.
“...Worf!”
All of this felt like his fault, but he had no idea how he could fix anything.
“Hey, Worf.”
Worf felt a light tap on his shoulder as he realized he had spaced out for a moment. His father stood with Will beside him.
“Can you find an extra pair of pajamas for Will and get them ready for him? Your mother says that the police should be here in about ten minutes. They’re going to ask him a few questions and more than likely fill out a report to follow up tomorrow. They said that they’ll decide if it’s okay for him to stay here depending on how he answers them.”
“Yes, of course, father,” Worf said, nodding.
Right on schedule, the police arrived and briefly interviewed Will, whose formerly confident voice was undercut drastically by an affected, anguished tone. Worf’s shock was almost as severe as Will’s, and after the police thanked Will for his time and allowed him to stay, without thinking, Worf gently pulled Will into a wordless embrace.
Worf’s mother and father watched with tears in their eyes as the boys rocked back and forth, swaying as calmly as a feather on a breeze.
* * * * * * * * *
After school the next day, Will brought Worf down to the orchestra pit. Will was tired of the passing glances he got from the other students throughout the day. While he had still not heard if there had been any updates about last night’s incident from Worf’s parents or the police, it was clear that the students had come up with their own asinine theories about why his face was so badly bruised and swollen. Mr. Picard had even expressed a deep concern, kindly offering any support or guidance should Will request it. Will didn’t want to talk about it, though, and figured that, if he could help Worf in a place that they couldn’t be seen, he’d be better off for it.
“I’ve never been in such a large orchestra pit before,” Worf said as they descended the steps, obviously trying to get Will’s mind off of things.
“Yeah,” Will said, “since the famous Jean-Luc Picard is not only our orchestra’s director, but also the head of our arts department, getting grant money to fund things is incredibly easy. You’ve got to wonder if grant writers are biased towards famous people or something.”
Worf smiled cautiously. He was treading on eggshells all day with Will, following him like a shadow in an attempt to keep the other kids from bothering him with more than just their stares. Worf took pride in his ability to intimidate people with what he considered to be a “steely glare.”
They set up their music stands and sat facing each other.
“You ready for this, Worf?”
He nodded at Will’s question.
Focus. It was time to focus.
Worf lifted his trumpet to his lips and breathed in slowly. He couldn’t let Will down. Will was strong, and Worf respected that. Admired it, even. Through one of the most challenging nights of Will’s life, Worf saw a boy whose passions and kindness shone like a beacon through the fog. He just had to make sure he didn’t let Will down, or else everything would have been for nothing. Worf breathed out.
Again, focus. Worf was at ease down here with Will. The world seemed still, and he felt as though there was finally some control. Their eyes met as Worf breathed in once more, and Will smiled a warm smile, his cheek still puffed out and purple.
“Let’s take it from the top, Worf.”
* * * * * * * * *
As the judges made their final decisions, Enterprise High’s orchestra seemed to collectively be holding its breath. Mr. Picard’s hand squeezed Will’s shoulder tightly, but not painfully, as he maintained a stoic face. If Will had not been on the receiving end of Picard’s stress-grip, he would not have even realized that Picard was as nervous as he was.
The judges were shuffling around on stage now, and each school’s orchestra was quietly sat in their respective sections of the audience.
“You all performed outstandingly,” Picard said, loud enough for his orchestra to hear, but soft enough so that his voice would not carry in the auditorium. “Let’s just hope that the judges can recognize that.”
Will looked behind him to see Worf glancing back at where his parents sat in the audience. Throughout the performance during his rests, Will had tried to scan the audience to find his own father, but to no avail. Will wasn’t surprised at his father’s absence. Only disappointed and hurt.
Worf turned just in time to see Will scanning the audience once again. Leaning forward, he grabbed Will’s free shoulder and murmured, “My parents have invited you to come to Chili’s with us after this. You are free to come if you wish.”
Will smiled gently and put his hand on Worf’s, keeping it there as one of the judges finally cleared his throat into the microphone, which provided some brief feedback.
“Your third place regional champions are...The Hood High School Senior Orchestra, directed by Robert DeSoto!”
Will heard some polite applause throughout the audience, but an especially excited fervor of clapping coming from where the Hood High students themselves were sitting. Picard and the Enterprise orchestra clapped politely, as well.
“In second place…” the judge croaked, “...We have the Krayton Academy for Gifted Ferengi’s orchestra directed by DaiMon Tog!”
Again, the auditorium filled with applause, this time with much more excitement. Picard clapped especially loudly at this, yelling above the noise, “Good show! Good show!”
“And finally,” the judge said, his dry mouth smacking into the microphone unflatteringly, “for our first place champions are…”
The auditorium fell completely silent. Will felt Picard and Worf’s hands tightly clenching his shoulders as he gripped Worf’s hand as tightly as he could.
“...Enterprise High School’s ‘Orchestra of the Stars,’ directed by Jean-Luc Picard!”
The audience exploded into applause as the whole of the Enterprise orchestra burst from their seats. Will turned to see tears of joy, hugging, kissing, and dancing from his peers. Deanna and Beverly demonstrated an act of PDA that Picard would normally break up in class, but his usual strictness was thrown out the window with the announcement. Geordi and Data hugged tightly, a tear rolling down from behind Geordi’s VISOR. Even O’Brien, who had loudly proclaimed that his performance had been lacking, high-fived the typically meek flutist Reggie Barclay, who had been crying during the entire performance.
Will and Worf did not hesitate to grab each other and hug tightly. They didn’t let each other go for what felt like minutes. Both boys cried. They had done it.
Without Will, Worf couldn’t have done it, and without Worf, Will couldn’t have done it.
Outside of the auditorium, Picard held a short speech for his orchestra and their families. Again, Will and Worf noticed a glaring absence of Will’s father. The police may have let him off with a warning, but he still refused to attend. A bittersweet feeling washed over Will as he simultaneously felt relief and despair in his father’s absence.
Recognizing the menagerie of emotions Will must have been going through in that moment, Worf held Will’s hand tightly and the two listened to Picard ramble on about how great these children were, and how he had learned so much from them in the span of a year, and how he had not always been comfortable around children, among other things.
The two boys looked each other in the eyes as they stood before Picard amidst their peers, proudly smiling at who they were in that moment. There were still two years left for them together at Enterprise High School. Images of what the years would bring flashed in their minds. The hardships. The struggles. The hopes and the fears. Before, these thoughts would have certainly drowned Worf, and with everything that had been happening for Will, without Worf, he, too, would have drowned.
Alone, a trombone may sound just fine, but one could argue that there is a certain completeness when it is paired with a trumpet. A togetherness. A unity. A harmony.
And without even thinking about it at all, Will and Worf had found their harmony.

Who Killed Markiplier - Damien’s POV (Chapter 1 Part 1)
So, obviously with you being a main character in WKM, you don’t get to see everything that goes on in the house. So what if you knew Damien’s perspective? Basically it’s the exact same plot and dialogue from WKM but through our beloved Mayor’s POV. Includes some headcanons, draws a lot of details from the pictures posted on @whokilledmarkiplier
Slight Damein x Y/N
Word Count: 2,380
Self Insert technically, but that’s because the character’s original name in the video is Y/N
It felt like I hadn’t been there in ages. In reality, I’d visited the Manor just last month, but it wasn’t for something like this. That time it had just been Mark and I, a gathering is so much more different and rare for him these days. We haven’t had a poker night in years and suddenly he hosts one out of the blue...I’ll admit it’s a little strange, but my nostalgia forced me to accept it and attend anyways. To be honest, I’ve never been the best at poker. Hell, I lost terribly the other day to Y/N, but perhaps tonight I’ll get lucky.
I made my way up the dainty flight of stairs to the doorstep. Through the door’s glass cutouts and surrounding windows I could make out the figure of man, tall and dressed in black and white. I knock on the door, which is promptly opened afterwards by the very man I observed. I tuck my cane under my arm so that I can pull the letter out of my jacket pocket, scanning it for a brief second before handing it to the man who had graciously opened the door for me. He appeared to be a butler, but I don’t remember Mark ever hiring staff.
“Ah, Mr. Mayor, Bonjour! It’s a pleasure to have you this evening! We’re still waiting on a few guests to arrive so please, make yourself comfortable in the living room while you wait.”
“Thank you very much,” I nod to the butler and begin to walk away, but I turn back around to ask a question. “Say, I’ve never seen you around here before.”
“I’m fairly new, sir. Only hired a few days ago.”
“I see...” There was silence, suddenly The Butler perked up, as if he remembering something.
“Where are my manners, would you like a drink, sir?”
“Not yet, thank you.” I reply. If this is really a reunion of sorts, I assume William will appear eventually, in which case I should stay relatively sober. There’s a high chance some drunken disagreements may ensue later...he was always such a heavy drinker.
Another unfamiliar man stood in the living room, but I could tell right away that he doesn’t work here.
“Ah, Mayor Damien, pleasure to finally meet you”. He said as he extended his hand. In a normal circumstance, it would be odd to hear unknown person call you by your name, but when you’re Mayor you get used to these kind of things. I shake his hand in return.
“The pleasure is all mine! And you are?”
“The name’s Abe Lincoln.” Huh, what a strange name. I decide to engage in some casual banter to break the ice. There’s no one else to talk to here, with the others still not present and Mark nowhere to be seen as yet.
“What do you do for a living, Abe?”
“I’m a detective, actually.”
A detective? That is not the person I want to hear from right now, not with all these conspiracy theories being thrown about me in the press. I swear, the public will believe anything! The last thing I need is another person asking me questions (and this man literally gets paid to ask questions). I tried to keep my concern internal, but I ultimately failed.
“Don’t worry, I’m not gonna drill you about the headlines...yet, wink, wink.”
Did...did he just audibly say “wink, wink?
“Well...that’s a relief. It’s all anyone seems to be want to talk to me about these days”
We reach an awkward silence. I glance around the room briefly, wondering where the rest of the partygoers were. The detective speaks up,
“So, how do you know Mark, Mayor?”
“Haven’t you heard? Apparently he’s “in cahoots” with me.” The Detective laughs, but only a little bit.
“And you, Abe, is it? How do you know our Movie Star?”
“Well, I met him a while ago, got me to look into...another case of his...but we’ve been friends ever since. But obviously you know him a lot better than I do.”
“Oh yes, we’ve been friends since we were kids, plus he did marry my sister.”
“Right, I forgot about that.”
“...Have you ever played poker with him?”
“Mark? Yeah one time. He’s ruthless. I mean, I thought I had that game in the bag, and then he just takes all my money! When I received the invitation for tonight I almost declined it right there.”
“He hasn’t hosted one of these in a long time, when I got the invitation I thought that he’d gone mad! Because-“ I suddenly felt a presence draw closer to my right. I turned to see Y/N, my new District Attorney and longtime friend. I had introduced them to Mark a while back, explaining to him how great of a poker player they were. Mark, of course, took this as a challenge and invited them to the Poker Night. I’ll admit, they were a little underdressed for the occasion, but this being their first Poker Night with Mark it’s understandable.
“Oh, there you are, old friend! How are you settling into your new office?” Y/N’s speeches to the public were unmatchable, but when they’re just around friends, they’re not much of a talker. “Now, I know it’s going to take some getting used to, but there’s no one I would rather have alongside me to protect this great city of ours.”
Behind them, I catch a glimpse of a familiar uniform begin walking to the living room. William had arrived right after Y/N, but I didn’t see Celine anywhere. I mean, with everything that’s happened, I wouldn’t expect him to invite her...but then again, he invited William. I quickly excuse myself from my conversation with Y/N to go speak to him:
“Now, I’ll see you at the table soon, but try not to rob me blind again! We’ll catch up!”
I caught a glimpse of Y/N’s giggle at my remark before turning my attention to the Colonel as he entered the scene.
“Will!”
“Damien! Good, you’re here too.” William responded, relieved to have another one of his best friends in attendance.
“Where’s Celine? She wasn’t uninvited, was she?”
“No, no...she said she didn’t want to come.”
“What? And miss a Poker Night like in the old times?”
“These aren’t the old times anymore, chum.” The conversation is cut short by a booming voice echoing from the staircase:
“Welcome, welcome, one and all!” Mark had finally emerged from upstairs, descending down the flight of stairs in a shiny red robe and the hint of a dress shirt underneath. I guess Y/N isn’t the worst dressed after all...
He introduced himself, which was odd, seeing as the entire party was made up of people who knew him, “My name is Markiplier, thank you for joining me on this auspicious evening, it’s so good to be surrounded by such close and trusted friends! Now, this evening is not all about the poker, it’s not all about me, it’s about you! So drink up and be merry! Life is for the living, and who knows, I could be dead tomorrow!”
He laughs and we all (well those of us who have a drink in hand) toast to Mark. He finishes walking down the stairs and straight across to the table, “Now, Who wants to play some Poker?”
Ugh, note to self, you’re getting too old for keg stands.
Last night went...well? I think? I can’t remember much. I remember the game, I lost terribly to Y/N and Mark, as usual. And I remember things getting a little wild the more people started drinking. I know I stayed mostly sober until Mark persuaded me to do a keg stand like in college. I’m not sure why they always remember my keg stand attempts so fondly, there was another student named Craig who always handled it much better than I did. The only other thing I remember is the Detective I had met earlier getting quite violent. I believe he engaged Y/N into a drunken fist-fight. Y/N has never seemed like the roughhousing type, but with the amount they drank, they would’ve done just about anything. They handled themselves in the fight well (extremely well, actually) until the Detective punched them right in the jaw. I believe almost immediately after he engaged in a fight with William, but I was too busy tending to Y/N to pay attention. They were knocked unconscious, so eventually I had to carry Y/N up to their room.
I’ll admit, I stayed in their room for a little while to see if they’d wake up after I brought them upstairs. It was better than the scene playing out downstairs. Plus, I was worried about Y/N, which made it a relief when I finally heard them stir and notice my presence in the chair beside their bed. They started to talk, but I told them to hush and get some sleep before exiting the room.
Now, it’s just after 8:00 in the morning, the office is expecting me to call right about now, but it can wait. I put my jacket on and picked up my cane before exiting my room. I stood by the balcony near the staircase, watching the Butler come upstairs with a tray in hand. On the silver tray stood a glass holding a cloudy liquid and a spoon. “What’s that?” I ask him.
“Good Morning, Mr. Mayor, it’s a seltzer with cocaine for the District Attorney. I figured it might help with the hangover they’re going to have when they wake up.”
“Are they awake now?” An alarm rings from inside the room.
“I believe they are now, sir.” The butler stood outside the door, waiting for Y/N to emerge. I turned back to face the stairs, so I could look out the large windows. The day was clear, the sky shone bright and blue. Behind me I can hear The Butler addressing Y/N,
“Ah, good morning! Hope you had a good night’s rest, I’ve prepared for you a seltzer with cocaine, best thing for the morning after, if you ask me.”
I turned to see Y/N approaching me. They place the drink on the table as the pass it.
“Ah, there’s our little monster! You really knocked ‘em dead last night! I haven’t seen you go wild like that since our days at university...good to let the beast out every now and then, aye old friend?”
I decided to open up to Y/N about my confusion for the occasion, “Then again, I’m still not exactly sure as to what we’re supposed to be celebrating here...I mean, it’s good to have the gang back together, but out of the blue like this seems...”
Now I’m just rambling.
“Anyway, now is not the time to become conspiratorial, life is ours to choose, as I always say.” Y/N gestures to the stairs, to which I reply, “I have some work to finish, but I’ll meet you at breakfast. We’ll all catch up soon.”
I nod and head back to my room. On the way, I glance at William’s room, the door stood ajar, I thought I should go check on him. I gently knock on the door,
“Will? You awake?”
“Come in, Damien.”
I walk in to see William sitting on the edge of the bed, his back to the door.
“You alright, old friend?”
“I’m fine.” He said, coldly.
“Something seems wrong,”
“I don’t want to talk about it.”
I ponder for a moment.
“Will, are you and Celine...okay?” He turns to me, surprised, it’s obviously not what he was thinking about before, but now he is.
“Why? Has she told you anything?”
“Why would she tell me?”
“You’re her brother, doesn’t she talk to you?”
“...no...not very often...”
“Oh. I see.” There’s an awkward silence. “Well, there has been one thing. She’s taken up a new hobby of sorts, reading all these books on connecting with spirits and third realms and...well she’s been so engaged in them that I don’t see her very often. She’s in the house, of course, but she doesn’t come to dinner anymore...and when I brought up the Poker Night, she said that “the spiritual power of the house made her feel uncomfortable” which made absolutely no sense to me.”
“Well, if I know one thing, I know that sometimes new obsessions have the tendency to take over Celine’s life. It’ll pass, trust me.”
There’s a knock on the door, the Butler tentatively walks in. “Good morning, Colonel. Is there anything I can get you before breakfast? Coffee? Tea? Morning After-treatment?”
“Coffee would be lovely, thanks. I’ll take it in the Media Room.”
“Right away, sir.” The butler leaves, William looks down at the floor and sighs.
“Damien, there’s something I need to tell you-“ The Colonel’s sentence was cut off by a loud clap of thunder accompanied by lightning. The two men jumped, and Damien made his way to the window in William’s room.
“That’s odd, it’s completely blue outside but-“ It happened again. “Are you seeing this William? It’s the clearest day I’ve seen in weeks and yet it somehow we have both lightning and thunder.”
It strikes a third time, follows by a fourth strike. “I wonder if anyone else is seeing this, oh, I hope no ones left in this...whatever this is.”
“Damien, there’s something you should-“
“Didn’t you order coffee? It should be downstairs by now, I don’t want to keep you while your coffee gets cold.”
“But-“
“Go ahead downstairs, I have to make a call to the office anyways.” I leave William and head to my room. On the way, I pass the stairs once again and hear quite the ruckus coming from downstairs. I still need to call the office, but my curiosity gets the better of me. I descend the spiral stairs to the “Party Room” where the Detective, Butler, Chef and Y/N stand over a cloth draped over something in the floor. It’s surrounded by caution tape and floodlights...it almost looks like...no, it can’t be.
“What the hell happened here?”
“Oh, Mr. Mayor,” the Butler answered,
“I’m, so sorry, there’s been a murder.” Another lighting strike...
“A murder...?” I ask, followed by yet another lighting strike. “W-Who?”
The Chef replies, “...it’s Mark...”

Sign of the Times - Pink Series pt. 5
Hello lovelies! So sorry this is a day late! And I know people are freaking out about Harry’s first solo tour right now! I’m in the same boat - ie. so fucking in love with this man! But please, read this when you get the chance - I had a lot of fun with it! Enjoy, my loves! And always, “Treat people with kindness” :)
Word Count: ~5k
.xx -M
These last two months have been what Harry thinks of as the hardest two months of his life. Sure, he’s gone without speaking to you for long breaks before, but never because he’d hurt you, never because you didn’t want to talk to him, always because you couldn’t, were too busy, or he was off touring the world as an international popstar. So, this wallowing at home all alone knowing that the last thing you’d want was to hear from him was absolutely brutal. He’d tried to distract himself by hanging out with Grimmy, even went up to Holmes Chapel to visit family, but not even his mother’s cooking and Gemma’s constant teasing could take away the pain he was feeling.
He knew he’d fucked up, and he also knew there was nothing he could do about it at this point. He’d pushed too far, felt too much, as he was prone to do though he’d never tell anyone that. And now he was stuck, watching reruns of Friends, and hating himself for feeling like for the first time in his life, he felt somewhat similar to Ross, who is the last person on the show he’d want to be compared to. But here he was, pining, feeling sorry for himself, full of anger and self-hate, but wanting nothing more to be curled up by your side like a puppy, wrapped in your arms and your love forever. He’s never felt this pathetic before, and he can’t stand it, he really fucking can’t. So, as he sits there watching Ross make the mistake of taking another woman to bed even as he’s trying to win Rachel’s heart, he gets an idea. Admittedly, it’s a terrible idea and he’d never even think of doing this if he wasn’t drunk and heartbroken. But with resolve, he picks himself up, and heads to the bathroom to shower and get ready to go out on the prowl, and find someone to assuage his pain, at least for the night. He knows that there’s a party happening at a friend of a friend’s and makes his way there.
The rest of the night is a blur, mostly, and he tries not to think too hard as he dances with a random stranger, her body feeling strange and uncomfortable as she grinds on him and does everything in her capabilities to seduce him. Little does she know that her efforts are really just putting him off, reminding him, even in his drunken stupor, just how unlike you she is. You’d never rub up against him this way, at least not as anything but a joke. You’d never beg and plead for him to want you, because you don’t need him to, and you (at this point he’s sure) know that he already wants you. You’d never get slobberingly drunk as he and this girl are doing, and be out in public making a spectacle of yourself. You just aren’t that type of person and he loves that about you. He loves the way you don’t feel the need to draw attention to yourself, how content you are in your own being, and how happy you are to be calm and at the sidelines. Your presence is calming to him, and humbling. Your simplicity is one of the many things that draws him to you, and well, this girl screams complexity, and not the kind of complexity that will have the two of them up till the wee hours of the morning having intense and stimulating discussions.
When he finally can’t take anymore, he does something that he’s far from proud of, but he’s never been a fan of confrontation, especially not in public. He leans down, kissing the blond stranger (who he’ll later find out is actually a model - of-fucking-course) on the cheek and murmuring that he’s going to get them more to drink. She nods excitedly and continues dancing, thrilled to have caught him in her snare. Quickly, Harry rushes towards the back of the club his friend rented out and calls his driver, knowing he’s just around the corner. It’s not 2 minutes later that Harry is safely in the back seat of his own car, breathing in and out and thanking his lucky stars he hadn’t made even more of a mess out of tonight.
When he arrives home, he heads straight to bed, not even bothering to check his phone or fully undress. At this point, he just wants to sleep for as long as possible and forget about the constant ache in his gut. That night, he sleeps soundly, not realizing that what he’d missed by not checking his phone was a very important text from you.
So, when he wakes the next morning, head aching and legs feeling strange after having been wrapped in tight jeans all night, he’s shocked to find a text message from you sitting on his home screen.
Hey, H. Miss you...still mad, but I want to see you. Can you hang out tomorrow?
He rereads your words over and over again, his brain slightly slow at processing the meaning of your text. You’re still mad, of course you’re still mad, he’d acted like a total dick, but you miss him and you want to see him...today? He messages back as quickly as his fingers will type.
Y/N, I miss you too. I’m so fucking sorry for what a prick I’ve been. Yes, I’m free today. When do you want to meet?
His breathing is erratic and pained as he waits for your response. He was honestly beginning to think you’d never contact him, that he’d have to get used to life without you, forever. He thought that he’d have to learn to stop loving you, to stop pining, and to finally move on. Now, with this text message, his hopes were repaired, though really, deep down he knew he should still learn to stop loving you, he really should move on, but maybe he won’t have to.
How’s 12 sound? We can get lunch near the park and have a picnic? It’s nice out today.
He checked the clock, it was only 10, he had plenty of time to get dressed and meet you at Regent’s park which had become both of your favorites recently. He tried to ignore the voice badgering him from the back of the head claiming that you only suggested a picnic so that you wouldn’t have to be in a private place with him, that you couldn’t stand the thought of being completely alone with him. He pushed the thought away and cheered up considerably.
Perfect. See you soon x
Two hours later, he was dressed, sobered up (thanks to the smoothie he’d made), and waiting for you outside the gate you usually entered through. Sure, some people were paying him odd looks obviously knowing who he was, but he didn’t care, he was going to see you soon.
He hadn’t been standing there more than 3 minutes when you arrived, pretty yellow sundress hugging your figure and a somewhat sad smile gracing your face.
“Hey, H,” you say quietly, still unsure how this reunion is going to go.
“Hey,” he breathes, as if he’s releasing all the tension he’d built up in his heart over the past two months. “Thanks for seeing me, Y/N, I’m so sorry for being an idiot. I don’t even know how to make sense of what I did, but I’m so sorry that I did it,” he finishes.
“I don’t know why you did it either, but I’m willing to forgive you. Life kinda sucks without you around,” you say sheepishly, running your hands through your hair nervously.
“I could say the same about you, love,” Harry laughs, much of his nerves now being put at ease.
“Do you want to grab some sushi and sit on the hill?” you ask, motioning down the road to the Wasabi restaurant that you like to frequent, though the sushi isn’t top quality - it’s super convenient.
Harry simply nods, ecstatic that you want to spend time with him. You walk down the street quietly, neither of you really making conversation, feeling slightly awkward after the very intentional distance put between the two of you. Harry can’t stand the silence, knowing that it’s anything but comfortable for either of you. It hurts knowing the discomfort is all his fault.
“I’m really sorry if I messed things up between you and Connor…” he trails off, not looking you in the eye.
“No, we’re good, it wasn’t that big of a deal, I was just shocked at your actions is all…”
“I know. So was I. I think I was just being protective. Got used to having you around, you know? Don’t want to lose you,” he says, the words completely true and heartfelt, though there’s more he could tell you.
“I know, and you won’t” you say, smiling at him now and it feels like a physical weight has been lifted from his chest.
“So how are things going? Well I hope?” he asks, these words much less truthful than the ones he’d just said.
“Well, yes and no,” you laugh nervously. Usually telling Harry about your relationship problems would be second nature, but it still feels awkward and strange talking to him about Connor.
“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to. We can talk about whatever you want,” he says quickly, trying to ensure that you don’t feel pressured in the slightest.
“No, I want to talk about it. I need to, just in a little, okay? Once we’re settled?” you ask, obviously nervous.
Harry guesses what you have to say must mean a lot to you if you want to sit down and really take the conversation seriously. He mentally checks himself, reminding himself to not be an asshole, to treat you as a friend and nothing more, and even if he feels as if his heart is breaking with every word you say about Connor, to act completely happy and enthusiastic about the two of you. Once you’ve bought some sushi and made your way to Primrose Hill, the two of you sit down together, much farther apart than you would have two months ago and Harry realizes that though he’s making progress in coming back into your life, it’s not going to be all easy or even quick.
“So, talk to me, love,” he smiles reassuringly before taking a bite of his lunch.
“Ok, so we’ve been together for two months and it’s been great...ish,” you say, cringing at the end.
“What’s made it not so great?” Harry asks, his instincts as your friend overpowering his instincts as your would-be lover.
“Well, when he comes over and we sleep together, he never really cuddles or anything, and then he rushes off in the morning. It’s like he’s afraid to commit and I know it’s only been two months, but I really thought he liked me, you know?” you ask, your insecurities evident in your voice.
“Does he just generally stay over on nights when he has to work early?” Harry asks, giving Connor the benefit of the doubt.
“No...I wish. It’s always on weekends usually and I know he doesn’t have work in the morning because we work together. That’s another thing - he doesn’t really spend time with me at work, never shows me any affection in public or anything. Like, we have fun and enjoy each other’s company and the sex is fantastic, but I feel like he’s being intentionally distant,” you continue, frustrated.
Harry works to contain his anger - he can’t stand the thought of you being treated any less well than you deserve. But he knows that’s not his place right now, so he just scoots closer to you, finally feeling as if the friendship is mending.
“Have you tried talking to him about it? Asked him why he rushes off? Why he doesn’t pay you attention at work?” Harry asks.
“No, god no! That would make me seem clingy and desperate for his attention and we all know that’s a relationship killer!” you laugh, leaning in towards him until your sides are pressed together comfortably.
“Who told you that?” he laughs, knocking his body into yours as he teases, “Cosmo or summat?”
You giggle at that because yes, that’s exactly where you’d gained that information even as a fully grown woman and you weren’t exactly proud to admit it, but you knew Harry wouldn’t judge you.
“But it’s true, isn’t it?” you protest. “I mean, guys hate it when girls get clingy and needy for attention and then rather than give the women what they need, they ditch her. I don’t want that to happen,” you say, your smile fading slightly at the prospect of Connor just up and leaving. You hadn’t been together long, but he was such perfection, you knew you’d do anything to keep him with you.
“Listen, love, I hate to break it to you, but only boys get scared off by that kind of thing. Men who can handle a relationship, and who are mature and willing to communicate honestly and be supportive partners are not afraid of clinginess, as long as it’s not obsessive. A good partner, man or woman, will know that satisfying their partner’s needs is vital to the health of a relationship and they won’t shy away from that, at least not if they care,” he advises, taking his time to carefully choose his words (since speaking without thinking had gotten him in so much trouble before) and trying to make it subtly clear that Connor either isn’t relationship material or doesn’t want you badly enough to be.
You just nod your head and process everything that he’s said. Though you don’t look angry, you don’t look entirely convinced either.
“Do you really think that’s true? I feel like pretty much all the guys our age are terrified of any sort of neediness or commitment. If a relationship isn’t easy or no-strings attached, then they want nothing to do with it. I don’t know how to live like that,” you whine, knowing that your voice is beginning to sound shrill and emotional, but you’re just so frustrated.
“Stop your crying, love. It’s really just a sign of the times nowadays...With online dating and hookup culture, a lot of people aren’t interested in the commitment, you’re right. So don’t start feeling all this self-pity or feeling as if you have to settle - it’s going to be hard, but not impossible. I don’t think that means that you should forgo commitment and affection just because it’s hard to find. As ‘perfect’ as Connor may be,” Harry says, doing air quotes around perfect, “he doesn’t seem capable of giving you what you want and need, and I don’t like to see you settling…” he trails off, shaking his head as he puts another piece of sushi in his mouth.
“How is being with a handsome, successful, talented, kind, interesting and fun man settling!?” you ask, completely taken by surprise. There are a lot of things you thought you were doing in a relationship with Connor - choosing responsibly namely - but settling was not one of them.
“He’s amazing, I’m not settling for him, he’s just afraid of commitment, like 99% of people our age - it’s not settling,” you continue, convincing yourself.
“Y/N,” Harry sighs, frustrated, “I know you. I know what you want and what you need and it’s definitely not a non-committal guy who is stingy with his attention and affection. You want the romance, the fairy-tale and it’s not fair to deprive yourself of that just because Connor is an impressive dude.”
“But Harry, I like him so fucking much!” you continue, knowing that Harry is probably right but refusing to believe it. “We’ve got to be able to make it work, right?”
“Only if he’s as invested in the relationship as you are and it doesn’t sound like he is,” Harry shrugs, placing a hand on your thigh in an attempt to comfort you.
Without second thought you grab his hand and squeeze it, the contact and reassurance that he will be here for you no matter what is intensely comforting.
“So, what’s going on with you lately?” you ask, trying to change the subject and brighten your thoughts.
“Not too terribly much if I’m honest, just writing a bit, went and saw the family a while ago. Been missing you a lot though,” he nods, not looking you in the eye.
“Yeah, I’ve missed you too. I’m glad we could do this, H, I really am.”
“Me too. I’m thinking of auditioning for a film and wanted to talk to you about it,” he says somewhat sheepishly.
“Oh gosh, I don’t even care what movie it is, you should definitely do it!” you reply, obviously excited for him. “You’d be so good, I know it! And if you ever wanted to practice lines, I’d totally help you. What movie is it by the way?”
“It’s actually a Christopher Nolan film - a historical thriller or something. Think it’d be fun, and different.”
“Harry, my god, if you get the part do you promise to let me meet Christopher Nolan? Like just once? I just need to tell him how amazing he is, oh my god,” you say somewhat frantic now.
“Well that’s assuming I’ll be any good. You’re awfully excited,” he teases, but smiles down on you having missed this playful happy you for so long.
“Well duh! You’re going to venture into my area of expertise! We can have so much fun talking about it. Maybe you can be in one of my films someday,” you say, eyes lighting up at the prospect of actually working with Harry.
“I’d love to do that, whether or not I get this part, love,” he says and you can’t contain your excitement.
You’d never realized that Harry was really interested in venturing into the film world, thinking he was completely content with music. But if he wanted to do this, you could actually be of some help to him and spend even more time together and it’d be great. You spend the next while telling him about all the characters you’ve dreamt up and how perfect he’d be to play like 90% of them. He can’t help but be flattered and equally as excited about his impending career adventure and the prospect of spending countless hours with you.
“I really hope I get the part, I’ll let you know when I get a script and have you help me, if you’d like,” he says almost shyly.
“Yes yes yes!” you say, bouncing on the blanket slightly. “I might have to ask a favor in return, though,” you say, a mischievous smile pulling at your lips.
“Oh? And what’s that?”
“Well actually, I might need you to do me this favor no matter what...So, I don’t know if you remember, but Alice is getting married in a few weeks…” you trail off hoping he’d fill in the blanks.
“And you want me to sing at the wedding?” he asks, laughing.
“Well no, I want you to be my date,” you mumble.
Harry’s breath catches in his throat and his mouth goes dry. He knows you probably mean nothing by it, but that sounds like both the worst and best thing he could possibly do in his current situation.
“What about Connor?” he asks, his voice tight.
“Well, I asked him, but he made up excuses. Really it’s because that’s too serious for him, but he claims it’s work or plans with friends or something. He obviously doesn’t want to go and I mean, I get it, we’ve only been together for two months and family functions like that are intense,” you finish, looking at him with big hopeful eyes.
“Y/N,” he whines, obviously frustrated with you. “Why are you dating him? Honestly, I’m just trying to be a good friend. If he were worthy of you, he would jump at the chance to go to the wedding,” he finishes, staring at you accusatorily.
“I know, I know. But he doesn’t...maybe he would eventually but the timing just doesn’t match up. He needs more time to commit and the wedding is too soon. So will you come with me?”
“Obviously,” he says, shaking his head and trying to hide a small smile.
Though he’s terribly excited to go to the wedding with you, not only because he’ll get to spend time with you all dressed up and happy and excited, but also because he hasn’t seen your family for ages and misses them almost as much as he’d missed you, he’s still slightly dreading it. The things about it that will make it so great: the family, you dressed up, the dancing, the drinking, the inevitable shows of affection will all be equally as torturous as they are fantastic. He knows in his heart of hearts that going to this wedding will not help get rid of his feelings for you, nor will it make you love him back because you’re so obviously taken with Connor. He knows that he is only digging his hole deeper and deeper - further from contentment and peace - and further in love with you. He can’t help the feelings of bittersweet anticipation of the night to come, and though he agrees happily, he fears that he’ll have yet another outburst of love for you that will be much harder to hide and disregard than his last.
“Harry, thank you so much. I know it’s kind of weird since I have a boyfriend and everyone will probably ask about him and all that, but honestly, I think I’d rather go with you. Everyone will be so excited to see you, and we can have so much fun, just like old times,” you say, smiling brightly.
“I can’t wait, love,” he agrees. “So when and where is it?”
“Well, it’s actually back in the states. Is that okay? It’s going to be quite a trip, I know, but it’ll be like a little vacation or something!” you say enthusiastically.
“Yeah, that’s totally fine, love, I’ve been meaning to go back there soon anyway. When is it?”
“It’s in three weeks. I know it’s super late notice, I guess I just really thought I’d be able to convince Connor to come and you might not want to.”
“That’s fine, I’ll make some calls, yeah?” he asks, wanting to do everything he can do to make this easy and good for you - he wants you to enjoy spending time with him as much as he does with you.
“You really don’t have to do that, Harry, I’ve been saving up, we can just buy some last minute tickets or something,” you say dismissively, never one to take advantage of Harry and his wealth or connections.
“Come on, you’re the one who said to make it like a little vacation! So let’s do that! I’ll get a plane and a place to stay and we’ll go all out!” he says, knowing that he really shouldn’t treat this as a romantic getaway but can’t really help himself.
“Are you sure, H?”
“Absolutely,” he says sternly.
You simply nod and continue eating your lunch, content with the sunshine on your face, Harry by your side and the view of the London skyline all around you. Harry’s a bit more conflicted as he sits beside you doing everything he can to keep himself from holding your hand or trying to kiss you. His mind is reeling with all the possibilities of the next few weeks - the wedding would provide so much opportunity - opportunity to push Connor from your mind, to make you see how much you actually want to be with Harry, to prove to you that he’s the one you’ve been waiting for all these years. And yet, these ideas reek with the possibility of ruining your friendship forever. He wishes that he could just tell you, tell you how he feels and that he understands that you might not feel the same, but he needed to get this off his chest. But as close as the two of you are, your friendship is on rocky grounds. You two really don’t talk enough - you talk about everything really, from work to school to friends and romantic partners, but never about feelings towards each other. He’s sure, absolutely positive, that you’ve had a thing for him before, that you wanted him almost as badly as he currently wants you, and you had to suffer and push it all away because he was so busy and unavailable. And now, your feelings are gone and his are here in full force, but he’s incapable of communicating that to you, and honestly you’d be incapable of hearing it, at least without making a silly decision and possibly ruining everything. Real emotions have never been either of your strong suits and there’s no reason you’d start now.
We never learn, we’ve been here before.
Why are we always stuck and running from
the bullets? The bullets.
No matter what Harry wishes were true, the truth is that the two of you are constantly shifting back and forth between miscommunications and ‘almost’ chances of being together. And instead of capitalizing on your wish-washy feelings for each other, one or the other of you will make a mess out of it, say something stupid and cruel, and send you both back to square one. Something tells Harry though, as he’s sitting here admiring the city with you, that this time, he won’t be able to contain his feelings much longer. That he’s going to say something to you that is either going to make him the happiest man in the world or ruin him.
We don’t talk enough.
We should open up.
Before it’s all too much.
Will we ever learn? We’ve been here before.
It’s just what we know.
Harry’s tired of it, tired of the confusion and the pain and having to restrain himself. He knows that he’s going to break at the wedding, he just knows it, but he doesn’t know how or when or if he even wants to end this game and find out the truth. It might just hurt too much.
We gotta get away from here.
We gotta get away from here.
Stop your crying, baby.
It’ll be alright.
They told me that the end is near.
We gotta get away from here.
As the two of you sit in silence, Harry’s mind continues to wander, up and away. He imagines the 12 hour plane ride from London to your small west coast town. He imagines being there with you next to him, looking down on the world as if none of it matters and it’s just the two of you. He imagines a world in which the two of you are together and content - that’s the kind of world he could happily live in. In that moment he makes a pact with himself to tell you everything at the wedding. The thoughts of the potential benefits of laying everything out on the table are too enticing to ignore. Having recovered from your last fight well enough, Harry thinks that maybe, even if you don’t feel the same way, time will fix the wounds that telling you would inflict. The rejection, the loss of you, it would all be impossible to bear, but eventually he might be alright. And if it goes well, the rest of his life could be made - this could be the key to his happiness, and hopefully yours as well, and he’s at the end of his rope - he can’t hold back any longer. He nods to himself as he makes this personal resolution, eyes drinking you in while yours are closed enjoying the warmth of the day. His days with you like this may be numbered and he’s sure as hell going to enjoy them.
Just stop your crying,
Have the time of your life.
Breaking through the atmosphere,
And things are pretty good from here.
Remember everything will be alright.
We can meet again somewhere.
Somewhere far away from here.
“What you thinking about?” you ask abruptly, shaking him from his daydreams of a perfect life with you by his side.
“Oh nothing, really, just how fun the wedding will be!” he says, not entirely lying.
“I really can’t wait, H! It’s going to be so much fun seeing Alice get married, and spending all that time with you, it’ll be perfect - just what I need. I need to get away from here for a while and I’m so glad I get to bring you with me,” you smile, leaning your head on his shoulder and taking in the view.
He leans down, pressing a chaste kiss to your forehead before resting his head upon yours and already rehearsing exactly what he’s going to say to you in a few weeks time. He’s piecing together all the best ways to tell you he loves you. He reminisces on the way you’ve always been there for him the past couple of years, the way he’s completely himself when he’s around you. He’s thought about admitting that Sweet Creature is really written about you, not Gemma. He’s convinced that he should make a big elaborate plan to confess his feelings, because sometimes he’s just a big and elaborate guy. But he knows you like simplicity, and intimacy, and honest and open communication no matter how difficult that is, and he reins himself in, knowing he has the time to plan all this out perfectly, to win your heart the way he always should have. Only time will tell if his plan will work, or if ultimately, life will get the better of him.

Family reunion Loki x teen reader ft. GOTG
This came from after watching the Dreamwork’s movie “Home” and listening to the song by Jennifer Lopez “Feel the Light” which I felt fit this story so well so if you’d like you can look up the song while you read this oneshot. Hope you guys enjoy it :)

@evyiione
_____________________________________________________
While cruising through the galaxy on the Milano, Gamora and Peter were on the controls of the Milano, Rocket was down in the engine room making some repairs of his own to the ship with Groot helping him, Drax was busy cleaning his daggers, and their oldest member which is me, (y/n) Goddess of dreams and magic was assumed to be sleeping in my room in the ship.
Maybe I should start off by introducing myself. As I stated before my name is (y/n) Lokidottir Goddess of magic and dreams, and as you can tell by my last name I am the daughter of Loki Laufeyson, the God of Mischief himself. I was born on Asgard and my mom had died when I was around 100 years old *roughly around 3-4 Midgard age* by my father’s side in battle against the Frost Giants. Ever since then my father’s raised me alone but still loved me very dearly up until his disappearance off the Bifrost bridge. It was then I was also captured by the mad Titan Thanos and tortured under him until I became a weapon, then once I reached the physical Midgard appearance of a 16 year old I was sold to a Kree judge known as Ronan the Accuser.
Trained under him I was to kill under no conscious with my magic of the mind and driving my enemies till their mad with insanity. It wasn’t until Gamora had come and allowed me to come with her to Xandar to retrieve an orb containing an Infinity Stone and well—if you know of how the Guardians of the Galaxy got started then you know the rest of my story after that.
Ever since then I have been traveling with the Guardians, hoping that one day I would reunite with my dad because I could feel that somewhere out there he was still alive. Gamora once said to me that she knowing what it’s like to be taken from your family, she promised me that as we traveled the galaxy, she would help me find my father and the rest of my family and get me back home to Asgard.
And that’s where our story begins now.
I had built myself a small blanket fort held up by two chairs and my bed and used my magic to fill it with similar things I had back in Asgard like a few spell books we had gotten from a few marketing stores around the galaxy, pictures and drawings I did myself of each member of my family, mainly of my dad, and last but not least the one thing I never take off my person; My Dream catcher.
You see my dream catcher is very special to me, because I can successfully pull out any personal event from either mine or another person’s life and actually view them like a video recording according to Peter.
And that’s what I was currently doing right now.
I didn’t even notice someone coming into my room and enter my blanket fort.
“I am Groot”.
“Yeah I thought you were in bed too Princess?” I softly chuckled and stroked Rocket’s head even though he hates it and said.
“Sorry guys, I couldn’t really sleep, not without watching this,” it was then Rocket and Groot began to see my first snow day with my dad. He was nervously trying to keep his balance but kept on holding onto the rails of the palace stairs as our voices said to each other.
‘Hey dad, I think our horses want to join us!’ It was then my vision showed my old mare Freya and my dad’s horse Sleipnir in his stable whinnying and bobbing his head up and down.
‘It’s not funny!’
“Is that your dad?” It was Peter’s voice this time as I could even feel Gamora’s and Drax’s presences in my blanket fort. As the vision continued to show my dad clinging onto his life as his feet began slipping and sliding on the ice laughing and my laugh still ringing out before I said.
‘Come on dad it’s just snow!’ I hummed a single chuckle as a small smile came across my face and my dad’s voice began to say as he slowly tried to balance on his feet.
‘I don’t even like snow! Snow is evil! It always makes me fa-AHHLL!’ It was then he fell backwards and landed on his butt on a small bundle of snow behind him to cushion his fall. Both of us laughed as the vision showed me falling backwards and even showing the two of us now still laughing.
‘Are you okay?’ My dad said still slightly laughing but still concerned for me.
‘This is definitely going in my dream catcher!’ I smiled softly as tears fell down my face.
“We’ll find him (y/n), you’ll be reunited with him soon” said Gamora.
“Yeah, so don’t you start crying on me now babe, okay?” Peter said as he placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. I looked at him and placed my hand over his and nodded in gratitude. He gently kissed the top of my head and one by one they left my room leaving Groot to be the last one.
Before he left, he held out his hand and grew a beautiful Asgardian Lilly just for me, he picked it off of him and gave it to me. I smiled and took it from him and said.
“Thank you Groot”. Groot smiled at me then left my room leaving me alone with my dream catcher as I now saw my dad holding me close to his chest as we both nuzzled each other in the snow.
My heart ached and tears continued to fall down my face as I let the vision fade and allow another one to take it’s place. This time it was every time I was sad or had a nightmare, dad would come in, lay down beside me, allow my head to rest on his chest and sing me a special lullaby in our native Asgardian tongue. His voice was always so warm and deep like velvet that it soothed me to sleep every time. I laid down and tried to imagine myself in his arms as I listened to the lullaby on constant repeat until I finally fell asleep hugging a pillow close to my chest.
When I woke up, I heard a knock at my door and Peter’s voice said from the other side of my door.
“Get dressed Princess, we’ve landed on Xandar”. I raised my head in confusion as to why we were on Xandar but I put that confusion aside and got dressed and ready then left the Milano with the rest of the Guardians as we headed to NOVA Headquarters. We entered inside greeted by Denarian Dey and a few other NOVA officers.
“Glad to see you made it safely Star Lord”. Dey said as he and Peter shook hands.
“Hey you got my codename right this time”.
“After saving my family, I owe you that, now follow us NOVA Prime is waiting for you in the council room”. We then followed Dey and the rest of the NOVA officers to the council room where NOVA Prime stood with a gentle smile on her face.
“Welcome back to Xandar Guardians”. She greeted.
“Thank you for your help NOVA Prime”. Gamora stated. NOVA Prime then turned to look at me and said.
“Princess (y/n) of Asgard, your friends have told me of your father and we have allowed you to use our wide-spread technology to help find his current location”.
My eyes widened in shock.
Was she serious? Is that why we came to Xandar in the first place? Did Quill and the others hide this from my back last night and contact NOVA HQ after they left my room.
“Are—are you serious?” She nodded I then turned to my friends who were all smiling sweetly at me. I didn’t know what to say.
I really didn’t know what to say.
Except I quickly embraced NOVA Prime in a hug as I couldn’t help but be truly grateful for her and she smiled sweetly at me and gently patted my head in welcome for my thank you.
“Is she allowed to do that?” Peter muttered to Dey and Dey only shrugged in confusion. After I released her she then said.
“Now, if you will follow Denarian Dey and your friend Rocket, they will help you in locating your father”. I nodded then followed Dey and Rocket to the computer lab where the two of them started up the computers and soon the whole galaxy came up in a hologram projection.
“Now, all we need is the name and we’ll have him in no time”.
“Loki. Loki Laufeyson, the God of Mischief and Lies”. I stated, then Dey and Rocket began typing up my father’s name and just like that a planet appeared.
“Midgard”. I muttered. It was then the picture zoomed in on a certain country I’ve read as North America, it then zoomed on a certain part of North America and soon a vision of the city came up that uncle Thor once called it New York City and Denarian Dey then stated.
“And here, is Loki Laufeyson”. But the person who came up was a fat and bald male human with a picture on his arm that said “MOM” on it and wearing strange black things over his eyes.
“That’s not funny!” I sneered.
“Wait that’s not your dad?” Dey asked me.
“Are you kidding?!” I stood in front of the monitor and cried out as I pointed at the fat slug on the screen, “THAT’S NOT HIM!!!” But little did I know was that the current man moved and showed a different man on the screen now.
“Look again Princess,” I turned around and gasped as I saw who it was and who he was talking to.
It was my dad, talking with uncle Thor.
“I know, I know okay Thor you’ve been saying that for the past 2 years now! Please! She has big (e/c) eyes and beautiful (h/l) (h/c) hair!”
“Daddy”. I breathed out as tears filled my eyes.
“So tell me if Heimdall has seen her! Or I will go out there myself to find her! Please.” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing from him. He was looking for me too and by the sound of it it’s been years.
I also took notice of his appearance now, his hair had grown longer, down to almost his shoulders, his skin was more paler than the snow itself, and his eyes were more blue and dark circles were under his eyes, filled with tears.
I always knew it somewhere deep down I knew, and now seeing him brought much joy in my heart.
My dad was alive.
I quickly raced out of the room and raced back to the council room to where the rest of the Guardians and NOVA Prime were at and Gamora asked me.
“(Y/n), is everything alright?” I looked up at her and tackled her in a hug and cried out.
“Thank you! Thank you thank you thank you thank you!” Gamora stood still but then knowing what I was talking about she hugged me back with a sisterly smile across her face and she gently stroked down my hair.
“So I’m gonna assume she found her dad alive?” Peter asked.
“Yes she did, he’s on Terra along with her uncle”. Dey stated as he and Rocket walked into the council room now.
“Well we now have our next destination”. Peter said. But it was then I said.
“No, only I have a destination, you guys can continue on with your adventures in protecting the galaxy”.
“What? But (y/n)…..”
“No Quill, as Princess of Asgard I order you all to remain here until I’m reunited with my dad! I have the power to get me to Midgard without using the Bifrost and I refuse to allow you guys to leave your duties as being the Guardians of the Galaxy”.
“(Y/n) as noble as that is of you, we wish to see you safely reunited with your father” Drax said.
“I am Groot”.
“I’m with Groot on this one, you ain’t leaving us behind. We’re with you on this one princess” Rocket said. I shook my head knowing that they wanted to see me back with my dad, but now this was my mission and mine alone. So when no one was looking I reached into my bag and readied my dream sand as I said.
“And I thank you all for this. For the adventures you’ve given me. Gamora, I am forever in your dept for getting me away from Ronan and Thanos, and the rest of your Guardians will always be remembered as heroes of Asgard for stopping Ronan, but now your presence is no longer needed.” I then threw my dream sand down onto the ground letting it go off like a bomb.
As everyone was trying not to fall under my sleeping spell, I then used my magic to transport me all the way to Midgard and soon everyone fell to the ground asleep by the time I was gone and the sand dust remained in the air.
Finally I reached Midgard and the city of New York where I would soon find my dad. But as I appeared in an alleyway, I suddenly began weak from exhaustion from using so much magic at once for the transport and for putting all of NOVA and the Guardians to sleep that I fell to my knees and leaned up against the wall.
“No, no, come on (y/n) you’re so close to finding him, just gather enough strength to walk and ask these Midgardians if they’ve seen dad”. I took a few deep breaths and pulled myself up and began walking slowly to make sure I kept my balance then once I did, I began to plow through the crowded streets until I recognized a part of the city where my dad was in front of a large tower.
Once I reached the tower expecting him to be there, my heart dropped not seeing him at all. I began to search around the city more to see if I could see him nearby and since I’m still weak from using my powers to get here. I couldn’t track him with magic. Not unless I really want to drain myself of more energy.
But still I had to keep looking, so instead of using my dream catcher to show an image of my dad, I drew a very good and detailed on and went from person to person asking if anyone had seen him, but all they did was run away or refuse to answer. With no response from anyone, I looked down at my picture helplessly and saw a tear drop fall onto the picture smearing it. More tears fell onto the paper until finally I just couldn’t take it.
Finding myself an alleyway, I collapsed onto the floor and wept long and hard. Maybe I should’ve let Peter and the others come and help me find my dad, because no one here was of any help to me because they were so scared of my dad for whatever reason or refused to help me because they had other things than to help a child find her father.
I curled up into a ball as my father’s sketch was now smeared with tears and I wept and wept until I had cried myself to the point of exhaustion.
Next thing I know, I hear someone knock on the wall and I only commanded hoarsely.
“Go away!”
“Uhh no sorry your majesty but the only orders you should be taking is from me! Star Lord!” I look up hearing the familiar voice of Peter Quill and low and behold there he was.
“Peter!” I cried out as we both hugged each other. It was then I saw the rest of the Guardians had come along as well. “I can’t believe it!” I exclaimed. “But you all came back! What are you doing here!?”
“We told you. You’re not doing this alone, you’re a special part of the Guardians (y/n), our friend”. Peter said. I smiled then Rocket said.
“But next time you pull a magic spell like that I can’t promise you that I won’t blow your little Goddess ass”. I chuckled softly and stroked Rocket’s head making him groan angrily but I could tell he enjoyed it because I took notice of his tail gently swaying from side to side. After I released him from my petting he then said,
“And besides, we thought you could use this,” he then held up a tracking device grinning smugly. It showed two points on the screen, the green was where we were and the red just a couple turns up the block was where our target.
I gasped happily and turned to all of them smiling widely.
It was then the Guardians walked ahead with Rocket and Groot leading ahead. Rocket was on top of Groot’s shoulder reading the map and telling him which way to turn. I would every now and then lag behind because I was trying to make myself more presentable by getting back into my old Asgardian uniform of a long white dress with golden designs that showed the stars and moon, then I quickly caught up with the Guardians as we kept walking down block after block of New York City.
My heart raced with excitement, my smile refused to go away, and my palms were getting shaky at the fact that I would finally see my dad after so long. Soon we had arrived at the location where my father was said to be according to the tracking device Rocket made. He then held the device out for me to take which I did and walked a bit away from them and looked through the crowd of people for my father. After a moment when I thought I’d never find him, my eyes widened and my jaw slightly dropped as my body froze.
Just ahead of me after walking away from the figure in familiar green and black armor with golden encrusts, the figure turned revealing him.
My dad.
He and I stared at each other in shock at the sight of each other.
I dropped the device and ran towards him as he let out a sob and ran towards me twice as fast until we both met in the middle. He picked me up and twirled me around as we embraced each other before setting me on the ground and cupped my cheeks to look at me before embracing me once again sobbing. The two of us embraced each other tightly trying to bring the other closer than physically possible as we both continued to sob.
The Guardians watched with happy and loving eyes at my reunion with my dad. Then for Odin knows why, Quill got so into our reunion that he ran up cheering and group hugged me and my dad making my dad retaliate and punch Peter across the face for touching him and me. While Rocket and Drax laughed hysterically for a bit and Gamora grinned, I held my dad back and began to explain everything to him as I helped Peter stand back up.
After explaining that they were my friends and that Gamora was the one who got me away from Ronan, my father’s eyes softened as he then turned to the Guardians and turned to Gamora especially and took her hand in his and whispered thank you in a grateful tone and Gamora smiled and happily nodded to my father. He then turned back to me and we embraced each other once again leaving the Guardians to smile once again.
“Oh (y/n), my beautiful girl”.
“I’ve been looking everywhere for you dad”.
“When Thor told me you were kidnapped, I was so scared that I’d never see you again”.
“Oh dad, I would’ve begged to sister Hela to release me from Hel’s gates just to find you!” He smiled and hugged me again as he kissed all over my face. After awhile of rekindling our reunion and even seeing Uncle Thor again and being introduced to his friends known as the Avengers, the Guardians then headed back to the Milano thinking that now that their mission was done they could go back to saving the galaxy, causing trouble or even a bit of both. But before they boarded onto the Milano I stopped them by saying.
“You guys weren’t really leaving me without saying goodbye right?” They stopped and turned to see not only me but my dad, uncle and the rest of the Avengers.
“Well, we thought we’d just step out quietly, now that you’re back with your family”. Peter started sniffling and then whimpered, “oh I promised myself I wasn’t gonna cry!” I shook my head then embraced the big-lug and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
“For god-sake Quill quit your whinnying!” Rocket exclaimed. I walked up to him and said.
“So you’re not gonna miss me too?”
“No I won’t, in fact I’ll be glad that you’re gone!” He may put on this tough façade but I could read him like a book especially from the fact that his ears were bent back and the way he hid his voice in a tough growl sounded like he wanted to cry, that and I could see tears at the end of his eyes.
I smiled and stroked his head and gave him a single kiss on his cheek knowing that he was blushing even from behind all that fur. Groot then gave me a large flower symbolizing his and the Guardian’s life force and it will only wilt if their lives are in true danger. I thanked him and placed a kiss on my hand and pressed it against his chest giving him eternal life from an Asgardian’s kiss.
I then turned to Drax and we both crossed arms with one another in a warrior’s farewell with his arm against mine in an X formation and we nodded to each other hoping that one day our paths would cross again. Then when I came up to Gamora, I embraced her and said.
“I have you to thank most of all, had it not been for you, I’d still be with Ronan, or even Thanos. Thank you Gamora, my sister”. We separated and I kissed her cheek in gratitude then I turned and walked back towards my dad.
“On behalf of Asgard, I would like to bestow my profound gratitude of returning my daughter to my side. You are all heroes for finding and saving the lost Princess, and you will be memorialized as heroes”. My father stated. The Guardians all bowed their heads in gratitude then boarded their ship and soon after seeing them wave farewell to me and I waved back along with everyone else, the Milano took off and soon disappeared into the light of the sun.
I leaned up against my dad’s chest as he wrapped his arms around my waist holding me close, I let a single tear slip from my eye but knowing somewhere deep in my heart that I will see the Guardians again.
Someday.

List of Sherlolly Prompts as of 8/30/2017 - There’s a new one!
Here is a link to the very informal Sherlolly Prompt Fest FAQ
Below is the list of prompts submitted to @holidaysat221b. Where possible, we have tagged the submitter so that credit can be given if a prompt inspires someone to write a fic or create a piece of art.
Some submissions were specifically labeled as Art prompts, and they have been separated into their own category. However, if you are a fic writer and one of the art prompts calls to you, go for it. Likewise, if one of the other prompts makes you want to draw, have fun with it! Prompts that have been filled at least once will be followed with an *, in case that influences your decision to work with one.
We only ask three things:
1) If you use one of the prompts on this list, please remember to credit the prompt and prompter somewhere in your fic summary/art description or in your notes. It’s the polite thing to do.
2) Please submit an ask or message @holidaysat221b with a link to your work, the prompt you used, the prompter, and how you want to be identified (in cases where your Tumblr and fic/artist name are different). This will allow us to share your work with our followers and tag the prompter (if possible).
3) We have set up a Sherlolly Prompt Fest Collection on Ao3. If you are planning to post your fic or art on Ao3 and would like to add it to the collection, please do. As of this moment, the collection is open and unmoderated. Please remember to credit the prompt and prompter in your fic/art notes.
On to the Prompts as of August 30, 2017
Art
Art prompt: (I’ve wanted this like burning for five years, I’ll never give up asking) Sherlock and Molly, the cake scene from Sixteen Candles". Only in the morgue and Molly’s wearing the lab coat. - @sunken-standard *
Art prompt: Potter!lock. Don’t care if it’s student Sherlock and Molly in their house robes, teachers, wizarding professionals, a recreation of the Order of the Phoenix group photo with Sherlock characters instead. Whatever. Just as long as it’s Potter!lock. - @darnedchild
Art prompt: Molly and Sherlock’s first real date gets interrupted by a case. Are they dressed up for a fancy evening, or wearing something more suited to fish and chips and a walk around the park? - Anonymous
Crossovers/Works set in or inspired by another specific fictional universe (ie Potter!lock)
I’d really like to see a Daemon (from the His Dark Materials books by Philip Pullman) version of Series 3/TAB/Series 4 (any or all of those), especially when it comes to the ILY scene. - Kay
iZombie!Sherlock – Think of this, if Sherlock gets infected we have: 1) Sherlock with white hair 2) Sherlock getting brains from Molly “for experiments” 3) Sherlock getting different attitudes (hippie brain = hippie!Sherlock) 4) Paler than normal pale Sherlock 5) Sherlock with red bloodshot eyes. Also: If Molly Hooper gets infected, it’s like she’s the Liv Moore of Barts. Lestrade as Clive (and relieved to be not only depending on Sherlock to solve crimes). Sherlock deduces Molly’s hair color and tan (because Molly can’t show up to work with white hair, even whiter skin color, and very slow pulse rate). Major asshole Boss being the one shipping tainted Utopium to Britain. - The Silent Fangirl
Superwholock!Sherlolly - The Silent Fangirl
Doctor Who!Sherlock - Molly Hooper as a companion - The Silent Fangirl
Me Before You!Sherlock - The Silent Fangirl
Molly Hooper as “Mary Reilly”. - @darnedchild
Dracula!lock, but maybe mix it up just a little. Sherlock as the object of Dracula’s affections (Mina) and/or Molly as the vampire expert (Van Helsing)? - @darnedchild
Sherlock and Lady Molly of Scotland Yard. Molly Hooper as Lady Molly from “Lady Molly of Scotland Yard” with her crime solving partner Mary (Morstan). (Note from Mod - “Lady Molly of Scotland Yard” used to be available via BBC Radio 4 Extra on demand, you may still be able to find it online somewhere.) - @lullikiish
A Hades and Persephone AU with Molly as female Hades (the unrequited love at first, the proximity with death) and Sherlock as a male Persephone (the curiosity, the lack of eating). Irene would be a great Poseidon (the chaos provided by the ocean, the sailor knots). As for John, he would be a great Hermes! - Kay
Gimme “The Full Monty”, baby. Surely someone can find a reason to have Sherlock, John, and Greg get their kits off? Or Molly, Mary, and Sally? Mrs H could give professional pointers and tips to whomever you’re planning to get starkers. - Anonymous
A Sherlolly version of “It’s A Wonderful Life”. Sherlock gets to see what his loved ones’ lives would be like if he never existed, realizing the positive impact he had on them when he was alive. - @simplyshelbs16xoxo
Something similar to “The Ransom of Red Chief”, only in this version the kidnappers have figured out that Molly Hooper is a pressure point for Sherlock Holmes. They take her captive, intending to blackmail Sherlock or hold Molly for ransom; but Molly Hooper is having none of that nonsense. While Sherlock works to save her, Molly finds ways to torment, injure, and outwit her captors. Whether she escapes on her own, finds a way to let Sherlock and John know where she’s at, or ends up driving her kidnappers crazy to the point that they give up and send her back is up to the author. Could go humorous or dark very easily. - Anonymous
Clique/Sherlock Crossover - After the events of TFP, Molly Hooper (who is actually Jude McDermid) decides to go back to Edinburgh, broken-hearted & bound to continue the “family business” after years of running away from it. Gone is her long hair & colorful jumpers: she completely changed her look & have every information about Molly Hooper destroyed. Years passed, she forms the Solasta Women’s Initiative, much to her brother’s delight, until a horrific event brings Sherlock Holmes back into her world again. It’s more of a Sherlolly/Judelock mash-up where Sherlock wants to know why she left, who she really is, & how he’s still madly in love with her. Molly/Jude is more like she’s finally embracing the life she thought she never wanted, until she realizes that she can never forget the love she has for Sherlock. Can she be Jude & love him as well? Can Sherlock accept her true reality, or does he only love her as Molly & not Jude. Throw in a nice mystery/thriller plot too! Oh yeah Mycroft, who knew Molly is Jude from the beginning but decided to let Sherlock figure it out on his own, is determined to stop this union at all cost. Pls include all the girls & guys in Clique, especially Holly since she’s a badass off to take down Jude and her “girls” no matter what! It’s a crazy plot but if you’ve seen the 1st 2 episodes of Clique, it screams for a Sherlolly crossover fic! Thanks for reading this uber-long fic prompt! - @violetjersey
A reversed Potter!lolly with Sherlock being the Muggle-born, while Molly’s the pureblood witch (the likes of Luna Lovegood). Sherlolly, of course. - @mychakk
Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None” – because I always think of the movies when I see Mizjoely’s U.N. Owen tag. - @darnedchild
We know Molly can keep other people's secrets. Maybe Molly has a few secrets of her own, i.e. her very secret collection of FWBs. Because honestly, you think she would just sit alone in her home every night, year after year, quietly pining for a romantic relationship with Sherlock? And what a surprise when Sherlock and their friends find out...maybe at Sherlock and Molly's wedding? Crossover possibilities depend on FWBs selected...Q (James Bond), Loki (Avengers), Doctor Strange, etc. - @rubyred7531
Song fic/Inspired by lyrics
Song Fic: Adele’s “Water Under the Bridge” - @darnedchild *
Song Fic: … I would love something based on “Samson” by Regina Spektor please. - @chelle812
Song Fic: Katy Perry’s “Unconditionally” - @darnedchild
Song Fic: Texas’ “I’ll See It Through” - @darnedchild
Song Fic: … I’ve got a quote from a song. “You only know you love her when you let her go.” (Note from Mod - The song appears to be Passenger’s “Let Her Go”) - @flowerstar5 *
NEW - Song Fic: Angst. Based on the ABBA song “Knowing Me, Knowing You”. Sherlock and Molly have tried to have a serious relationship, but it just didn’t work out. - @shadowyqueenbeard
OT3/Sherlock, Molly, and ?
A case involving wine and stolen spatulas leads to Mycroft Holmes being attracted to Molly Hooper. Too bad Molly’s had enough of the Holmeses, and Sherlock mooning over her really isn’t helping. (Molly Hooper/Mycroft Holmes/Sherlock Holmes) - The Silent Fangirl
Molly wants to meet The Woman. Irene and Sherlock are still friends, and Molly is curious. Much to everyone’s surprise, Molly and Irene hit it off fairly quickly. (Sherlock Holmes/Molly Hooper/Irene Adler) - Anonymous
When Sherlock is injured and stuck in a cast up to his thigh, Mary and Molly find out JUST how grumpy he can get. They end up putting him by a window with binoculars, his pain medication, snacks, juice and his mobile. What happens next? (Molly Hooper/Sherlock Holmes/Mary (Morstan)Watson) - @penaltywaltz
Everything Else
Sherlock is undercover. He’s renting a small place and he’s trying to fit in with the extremely old fashioned community that is probably hiding a deadly smuggling ring or something equally bad. He ends up calling on Molly to come help. Since he’s already established as an unmarried man, his ‘sister’ (or other family member) arrives for a visit. Cue living in the same house while hot for each other type shenanigans while pretending to be siblings under the watchful eye of some suspicious townspeople. - Anonymous
Molly’s school reunion – Sherlock assumes he’ll be needed to help Molly show everyone up. The catch: Molly’s been a beloved peer, so it’s him who gets the obligatory “you hurt her, we’ll end you". :) - @mychakk
Sherlock sees a woman on the street. Instantly intrigued (you can choose as to why) he follows her. - @mel-loves-all
Molly loves wearing Sherlock’s house robes. - @mel-loves-all
Molly has a piece of body piercing jewelry or a tattoo located somewhere that surprises and titillates Sherlock. - @mel-loves-all *
Whenever Molly is close, Sherlock unconsciously always seems to need to touch her in some way after they start dating. He doesn’t notice it, but Molly does. - @mel-loves-all
A midnight dance. - @mel-loves-all
John tries to set up Sherlock with a girl. Unsurprisingly, there are a lot of contenders. And what does Molly have to say about that? - The Silent Fangirl
Through unexpected circumstances, Sherlock and Molly get engaged. It doesn’t end well. Crack!fic - The Silent Fangirl
Eurus Holmes ships the Sherlolly. So does John and Mycroft. Soon, everyone gets dragged into the Sherlolly craze. Crack!fic - The Silent Fangirl
Molly lives in the flat across from 221B. You know, the one that exploded? Yeah. But before that, there was a) looking at the hot naked guy in the window b) said hot naked guy crashing into her flat because he just wants to c) her traitorous cat crossing the street to hot naked guy’s flat. - The Silent Fangirl
Sherlock: A TV series featuring a hot guy with awesome deductive skills, his best friend the doctor, the exasperated detective inspector, the sweet landlady, and the pathologist. And no, the pathologist isn’t in love with the hot guy. - The Silent Fangirl
Molly stops being Sherlock’s pathologist, and starts being THE Pathologist. BAMF!Molly - The Silent Fangirl
This, Sherlock thinks through the haze of cocaine, truly is the worst form of torture. Mycroft and Molly’s wedding through Sherlock’s drug-addled POV. - The Silent Fangirl
Molly commits suicide, but only Sherlock thinks she didn’t. He may not be wrong. - The Silent Fangirl
When John Watson dies, Rosie is given into the care of her godparents. Problem is, they aren’t exactly on speaking terms. Bonus for Harry Watson appearance! - The Silent Fangirl
Molly nearly gets hit by a speeding car … until Sherlock pushes her out of the way and gets hit himself. H/C - The Silent Fangirl
Molly in labor. After watching Mary in labor in TST, I kinda wanna see a funny take on Molly giving birth to her and Sherlock’s child. Maybe something like Molly being in pain, she wishes out loud she’d never had sex with Sherlock, while Sherlock logically points out how well they emotionally and biologically fit together. - Anonymous
Fluff. Molly has been hospitalized for whatever reason. She decides that she is feeling better and just wants to go home. However, the hospital does not want to release her yet. So Molly decides to leave AMA (against medical advice). She feels she can recover at home just as well and also she is eager to get back to work. Besides, who is going to know? This is something someone might expect from Sherlock, but not Molly. How long before he finds out? What is his reaction? - @shadowyqueenbeard
Angst. Molly discovers she is pregnant and is not happy about it. Although she would love to have a baby at some point, right now is not the time. She and Sherlock do not have a commitment and her career is going well. She plans to terminate the pregnancy. Sherlock finds out and tries to stop her. He please with her to change her mind, marry him and be a family. Is this just a control tactic or does he really love her? - @shadowyqueenbeard *
Molly discovers there is Sherlock Holmes RPF (Real Person Fiction) on the internet. She’s shocked to find that someone called Sherlolly4vr74 has been writing fic about her and Sherlock, and they seem to have a dedicated fan base. Some of the stories are very sweet and romantic, some of them are hot enough to give her NSFW ideas. Who is Sherlolly4vr74 (Is it Anderson? Mrs Hudson? Mary? John? I bet it’s John.) and is Sherlock aware of the stories? - @darnedchild
Eurus has been known to put on a persona and disguise to get close to people for information – she was Faith for Sherlock, E and the psychiatrist for John. What if she had also spent some time around Molly prior to the events at Sherrinford? What information would she have gleaned about her brother and his pathologist? - @darnedchild
Can they be R rated. Because I feel Sherlock would not muck about, with telling Molly what he would like to do to her, he would not use cute little names for all her female parts and would go into great detail, like all his cases. She would be his very serious case. Yes he would most defiantly do a lot of research on pleasing her. Write it however you are most comfortable with. - @oliverfel4
Sherlock and Molly are getting married! It’s time to work on the guest list for the wedding, and suddenly they are faced with the question—Do they let Euros come, or not? - @celticmoonbeam
Shipwrecked Sherlolly—Sherlock saves Molly from drowning. - Anonymous
Euros leads Sherlock to believe that he failed, and Molly was killed after the ILY scene. Much angst ensues as he blames himself for her loss … but then we get to see the happy reunion scene when he learns she’s alive. - Anonymous
Moriarty trying to up Sherlock by sleeping with Molly, but the joke is on him, as Sherlock and Molly knew each other from secondary school/uni and were each other’s firsts. They can be regular (exclusive) lovers too. - @mychakk
Mary as matchmaker. At John and Mary’s wedding, Mary feels a little sad when they leave him alone to go dance (“What about you?”). She decides to make it her mission to help Sherlock find a girl so he’s not alone anymore. And this former agent has no trouble figuring out the potential between Sherlock and a certain Molly Hooper … (Up to you whether or not you want to throw in a Janine segue before she decides to set him up with Molly. And feel free to cover Sherlock being shot!) - @celticmoonbeam
Molly discovers she’s pregnant with Sherlock’s child at the worst possible time: while she’s with his parents, being hidden away, and the two are pretending to be just friends. Bonus if they figure it out before they’re told! - @penaltywaltz
After the events of TFP, Molly and Sherlock get closer. Suddenly, though, he pulls away and starts flirting with a coworker of hers, sometimes blatantly in front of her. It isn’t until an event at Barts that the truth comes out that it was all for a case. - @penaltywaltz
Molly finds out that as a child Sherlock liked the book “The Westing Game” and for one of his birthdays she arranges a vacation mimicking the plot of the book, even if none of them really fit the particular characters. - @penaltywaltz
Sherlock wants to make a gourmet meal for Molly for a special occasion, but he doesn’t seem to get it quite right. Fortunately, a friend/relative is willing to help. - @penaltywaltz
Sherlock moves in with Molly and begins perusing her book collection, picking up random books that have interesting looking covers, and the next thing Molly knows he’s turned into a fantasy buff. - @penaltywaltz *
Non-established Sherlolly. Sherlock gets a hold of Molly’s phone one afternoon and can’t resist snooping. He’s surprised to see a folder in her photo gallery marked “Special” and it’s all photos of him. - @penaltywaltz
Have you had sex? – After Euros asked that I somehow thought “Molly??” (as Sherlock says, Irene only texts him, he doesn’t reply). Later it seems that Euros is the only one who ever has noticed that Molly causes some emotions in him. So my theory is that something happened between Molly and Sherlock, it happened pretty recently, somehow (stressful night and they talked or they had some drinks and somehow one thing led to another) they ended up having sex; but Sherlock wasn’t good at dealing with it after or something urgent came along and he didn’t really consider Molly’s emotions, he ran off right after or in the morning, and that could be the reason why Molly didn’t pick up the phone first and was in a bad mood during the “ILY scene”. What happened between them recently is the reason why Molly is a bit rude to Sherlock when he calls, and the reason why she gets so emotional and raw so easily over the I Love You thing, and why she so easily tells him to say it first. Well, then when Sherlock says “I love you” he finally realizes fully that he really does love her too, and that he is capable of loving that way, and finally sees how easy it could be and what he could lose. Then after this whole thing he goes to talk to Molly and explain things to her. - @lullikiish
Complete me as a person. — Scene that popped into my mind. Irene has been texting Sherlock again, Sherlock in the end almost agrees to meet her for dinner, but as he’s walking out of his flat while Molly is there looking after Rosie he sees Molly in kind of slo-mo in the golden evening sun holding Rosie and being all sweet. Maybe already something a bit has happened before between them, some flirting, etc. The talk with John about a relationship completing him as a person is on the back of his mind. He walks out, but midway down the stairs while taking his phone out (symbolically in darkness compared to that evening sun) he realizes that he misses that warmth and Molly, and realizes that is what completes him. He takes out his phone and texts he’s not coming and then goes back upstairs. Sees Molly all adorable and confused/surprised in this beautiful light and maybe goes to kiss her, etc. - @lullikiish
A post TRF fic, where Sherlock takes Molly with him, but they return to London a couple years later than in canon because Molly got pregnant along the way (or even twice), so now they are three/four of them instead of two? - @mychakk
Victorian “Hooper”lock—Molly in disguise as “Hooper” the man, and they work together on a case and sparks fly. They flirt and all, and Sherlock can’t figure out right away that she’s a woman, and I think it might not even bother him that much. - @lullikiish
“We had chips. She liked me.” – Sherlock in TLD. What could have been had he and Molly gotten chips in TEH: A kick to Tom’s butt. Happy greeting (a hug at least!) at the end of TEH. Quite a lot of sex with Sherlock instead of Tom. Molly the best man’s date. A (sophisticated. Or not) Molly/Janine cat fight for Janine hitting on SH moments. Dancing, so much Sherlolly dancing (and no leaving early). Probably no Shezza (Shezzer?)—which, hmm, is a shame (But maybe they’ve their own not-being-on-a-sex-holiday-but-sexing-a-lot time). A real proposal to Molly. Molly at family Christmas, maybe even a Christmas wedding. Solving CAM without the threat of exile sharpens Sherlock’s deductive abilities. No Norbury as Molly’s already expecting their first offspring, so Sherlock doesn’t taunt needlessly. Mary as the Sherlolly baby godmother as she’s alive! Culverton Smith is taken down by the duo of Mary and Molly while the latter gives birth there (because the ladies are awesome, plus Mrs H tackles him down). John is so impressed he doesn’t look at any other women. Molly’s big heart brings Eurus from her metaphoric plane the moment she steps into 221B, plus baby Holmes wins her heart too. The Holmes family reconciliation and Eurus is in therapy instead of being a multi-killer. Baker Street Boys Team continues while Baker Street Girls Team gives them a run for their money. Mycroft asks Lady Smallwood out himself to her astonishment and internal squealing. Mummy Holmes gets more grandkids than she could’ve imagined. And basically, everyone walks happily into the sunset. The End. Please note, some things can obviously be modified. - @mychakk *
AU: Molly runs away from home when her parents try to arrange a marriage for her. She wants to pursue a life that involves science and marry for love if she ever gets married at all. She meets Sherlock, who is being pressured by his family to marry a nice girl they found for him who loves science as much as he does. It will be interesting when they figure it out. - @shadowyqueenbeard
AU. Instead of dying, Mary actually does hide from Sherlock and John effectively and they don’t find her. Still wracked by guilt and worried he’ll never see her again, John still imagines her in his mind and Sherlock still goes after Culverton Smith … possibly both to save John and because maybe Smith knows something about where Mary went? To solve the mystery and bring Mary home, Sherlock and Molly team up. - @rooneykmara
Crack!fic. Molly and Sherlock had a fake wedding for a case. However, when Molly applies for a marriage license to Tom, it turns out the wedding was actually real. She has to approach Sherlock for an annulment. It seems Sherlock deleted the event, because he doesn’t seem to remember it. Or does he? It seems he is too busy to sign the paperwork, he has misplaced it, always an excuse not to dissolve the marriage. Eventually he has to admit he really does want to be married to her. So Molly has to decide between two men. Which one does she choose? 😉 - @shadowyqueenbeard
Molly, unbeknownst to Sherlock, suffers from psoriasis since her teen years. This is why she’s been adamant about being more physically intimate with him, no matter how much she wants to. Fortunately for her, Sherlock doesn’t care about it at all. Could be a hard T or M rating. Loosely inspired by Loo’s own bout with the disease. - @violetjersey *
Fluff and maybe smut, or angst with a happy ending: Molly has a creepy feeling that she is being followed, and goes to Lestrade for help. He discovers that she has a security detail, curtesy of Sherlock. Molly is not pleased with this situation. Sherlock doesn’t understand why not, shouldn’t she be glad that he cares about her safety? After getting an earful from Molly, he cancels the security detail. Molly promptly leaves town without a word to anyone, leaving Sherlock to sweat. Is she okay? Most likely she is on a beach sipping Margaritas, but maybe she’s in trouble. He would like to make amends but first he as to find her. Should he try to locate her or leave her alone as requested? - @shadowyqueenbeard
I have read this in one or two fics, but not really developed as a main theme of the story … so: What if Rosie wants to pair John and Molly? How Sherlock will react and … how will he convince Rosie that Molly is for him and not for John. I’m imagining some angst in the middle because the silly man thinks this is a wonderful idea: Rosie gets a mummy and Molly gets a family. In fact, Sherlock sets up a date between Molly and John while he’s babysitting Rosie. - @kalkopyryt
Crack!Fic. Molly decides to try speed dating. The day she goes Sherlock is there, deducing everyone else to shreds. He tells Molly he is there purely by coincidence. He’s not trying to thwart her attempts at dating at all. Really! - @shadowyqueenbeard
I’m thinking about Sherlock early in their relationship finds someone clothes that are familiar but can’t remember where, but then he watches some old Moriarty video and realizes where the clothes come from. The end is up to the author. Thank you! - @deemura

List of Sherlolly Prompts as of 8/23/2017 - There’s a new one!
Here is a link to the very informal Sherlolly Prompt Fest FAQ
Below is the list of prompts submitted to @holidaysat221b. Where possible, we have tagged the submitter so that credit can be given if a prompt inspires someone to write a fic or create a piece of art.
Some submissions were specifically labeled as Art prompts, and they have been separated into their own category. However, if you are a fic writer and one of the art prompts calls to you, go for it. Likewise, if one of the other prompts makes you want to draw, have fun with it! Prompts that have been filled at least once will be followed with an *, in case that influences your decision to work with one.
We only ask three things:
1) If you use one of the prompts on this list, please remember to credit the prompt and prompter somewhere in your fic summary/art description or in your notes. It’s the polite thing to do.
2) Please submit an ask or message @holidaysat221b with a link to your work, the prompt you used, the prompter, and how you want to be identified (in cases where your Tumblr and fic/artist name are different). This will allow us to share your work with our followers and tag the prompter (if possible).
3) We have set up a Sherlolly Prompt Fest Collection on Ao3. If you are planning to post your fic or art on Ao3 and would like to add it to the collection, please do. As of this moment, the collection is open and unmoderated. Please remember to credit the prompt and prompter in your fic/art notes.
On to the Prompts as of August 23, 2017
Art
Art prompt: (I’ve wanted this like burning for five years, I’ll never give up asking) Sherlock and Molly, the cake scene from Sixteen Candles". Only in the morgue and Molly’s wearing the lab coat. - @sunken-standard *
Art prompt: Potter!lock. Don’t care if it’s student Sherlock and Molly in their house robes, teachers, wizarding professionals, a recreation of the Order of the Phoenix group photo with Sherlock characters instead. Whatever. Just as long as it’s Potter!lock. - @darnedchild
Art prompt: Molly and Sherlock’s first real date gets interrupted by a case. Are they dressed up for a fancy evening, or wearing something more suited to fish and chips and a walk around the park? - Anonymous
Crossovers/Works set in or inspired by another specific fictional universe (ie Potter!lock)
I’d really like to see a Daemon (from the His Dark Materials books by Philip Pullman) version of Series 3/TAB/Series 4 (any or all of those), especially when it comes to the ILY scene. - Kay
iZombie!Sherlock – Think of this, if Sherlock gets infected we have: 1) Sherlock with white hair 2) Sherlock getting brains from Molly “for experiments” 3) Sherlock getting different attitudes (hippie brain = hippie!Sherlock) 4) Paler than normal pale Sherlock 5) Sherlock with red bloodshot eyes. Also: If Molly Hooper gets infected, it’s like she’s the Liv Moore of Barts. Lestrade as Clive (and relieved to be not only depending on Sherlock to solve crimes). Sherlock deduces Molly’s hair color and tan (because Molly can’t show up to work with white hair, even whiter skin color, and very slow pulse rate). Major asshole Boss being the one shipping tainted Utopium to Britain. - The Silent Fangirl
Superwholock!Sherlolly - The Silent Fangirl
Doctor Who!Sherlock - Molly Hooper as a companion - The Silent Fangirl
Me Before You!Sherlock - The Silent Fangirl
Molly Hooper as “Mary Reilly”. - @darnedchild
Dracula!lock, but maybe mix it up just a little. Sherlock as the object of Dracula’s affections (Mina) and/or Molly as the vampire expert (Van Helsing)? - @darnedchild
Sherlock and Lady Molly of Scotland Yard. Molly Hooper as Lady Molly from “Lady Molly of Scotland Yard” with her crime solving partner Mary (Morstan). (Note from Mod - “Lady Molly of Scotland Yard” used to be available via BBC Radio 4 Extra on demand, you may still be able to find it online somewhere.) - @lullikiish
A Hades and Persephone AU with Molly as female Hades (the unrequited love at first, the proximity with death) and Sherlock as a male Persephone (the curiosity, the lack of eating). Irene would be a great Poseidon (the chaos provided by the ocean, the sailor knots). As for John, he would be a great Hermes! - Kay
Gimme “The Full Monty”, baby. Surely someone can find a reason to have Sherlock, John, and Greg get their kits off? Or Molly, Mary, and Sally? Mrs H could give professional pointers and tips to whomever you’re planning to get starkers. - Anonymous
A Sherlolly version of “It’s A Wonderful Life”. Sherlock gets to see what his loved ones’ lives would be like if he never existed, realizing the positive impact he had on them when he was alive. - @simplyshelbs16xoxo
Something similar to “The Ransom of Red Chief”, only in this version the kidnappers have figured out that Molly Hooper is a pressure point for Sherlock Holmes. They take her captive, intending to blackmail Sherlock or hold Molly for ransom; but Molly Hooper is having none of that nonsense. While Sherlock works to save her, Molly finds ways to torment, injure, and outwit her captors. Whether she escapes on her own, finds a way to let Sherlock and John know where she’s at, or ends up driving her kidnappers crazy to the point that they give up and send her back is up to the author. Could go humorous or dark very easily. - Anonymous
Clique/Sherlock Crossover - After the events of TFP, Molly Hooper (who is actually Jude McDermid) decides to go back to Edinburgh, broken-hearted & bound to continue the “family business” after years of running away from it. Gone is her long hair & colorful jumpers: she completely changed her look & have every information about Molly Hooper destroyed. Years passed, she forms the Solasta Women’s Initiative, much to her brother’s delight, until a horrific event brings Sherlock Holmes back into her world again. It’s more of a Sherlolly/Judelock mash-up where Sherlock wants to know why she left, who she really is, & how he’s still madly in love with her. Molly/Jude is more like she’s finally embracing the life she thought she never wanted, until she realizes that she can never forget the love she has for Sherlock. Can she be Jude & love him as well? Can Sherlock accept her true reality, or does he only love her as Molly & not Jude. Throw in a nice mystery/thriller plot too! Oh yeah Mycroft, who knew Molly is Jude from the beginning but decided to let Sherlock figure it out on his own, is determined to stop this union at all cost. Pls include all the girls & guys in Clique, especially Holly since she’s a badass off to take down Jude and her “girls” no matter what! It’s a crazy plot but if you’ve seen the 1st 2 episodes of Clique, it screams for a Sherlolly crossover fic! Thanks for reading this uber-long fic prompt! - @violetjersey
A reversed Potter!lolly with Sherlock being the Muggle-born, while Molly’s the pureblood witch (the likes of Luna Lovegood). Sherlolly, of course. - @mychakk
Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None” – because I always think of the movies when I see Mizjoely’s U.N. Owen tag. - @darnedchild
We know Molly can keep other people's secrets. Maybe Molly has a few secrets of her own, i.e. her very secret collection of FWBs. Because honestly, you think she would just sit alone in her home every night, year after year, quietly pining for a romantic relationship with Sherlock? And what a surprise when Sherlock and their friends find out...maybe at Sherlock and Molly's wedding? Crossover possibilities depend on FWBs selected...Q (James Bond), Loki (Avengers), Doctor Strange, etc. - @rubyred7531
Song fic/Inspired by lyrics
Song Fic: Adele’s “Water Under the Bridge” - @darnedchild *
Song Fic: … I would love something based on “Samson” by Regina Spektor please. - @chelle812
Song Fic: Katy Perry’s “Unconditionally” - @darnedchild
Song Fic: Texas’ “I’ll See It Through” - @darnedchild
Song Fic: … I’ve got a quote from a song. “You only know you love her when you let her go.” (Note from Mod - The song appears to be Passenger’s “Let Her Go”) - @flowerstar5 *

Later it seems that Euros is the only one who ever has noticed that Molly causes some emotions in him. So my theory is that something happened between Molly and Sherlock, it happened pretty recently, somehow (stressful night and they talked or they had some drinks and somehow one thing led to another) they ended up having sex; but Sherlock wasn’t good at dealing with it after or something urgent came along and he didn’t really consider Molly’s emotions, he ran off right after or in the morning, and that could be the reason why Molly didn’t pick up the phone first and was in a bad mood during the “ILY scene”. What happened between them recently is the reason why Molly is a bit rude to Sherlock when he calls, and the reason why she gets so emotional and raw so easily over the I Love You thing, and why she so easily tells him to say it first. Well, then when Sherlock says “I love you” he finally realizes fully that he really does love her too, and that he is capable of loving that way, and finally sees how easy it could be and what he could lose. Then after this whole thing he goes to talk to Molly and explain things to her. - @lullikiish
Complete me as a person. — Scene that popped into my mind. Irene has been texting Sherlock again, Sherlock in the end almost agrees to meet her for dinner, but as he’s walking out of his flat while Molly is there looking after Rosie he sees Molly in kind of slo-mo in the golden evening sun holding Rosie and being all sweet. Maybe already something a bit has happened before between them, some flirting, etc. The talk with John about a relationship completing him as a person is on the back of his mind. He walks out, but midway down the stairs while taking his phone out (symbolically in darkness compared to that evening sun) he realizes that he misses that warmth and Molly, and realizes that is what completes him. He takes out his phone and texts he’s not coming and then goes back upstairs. Sees Molly all adorable and confused/surprised in this beautiful light and maybe goes to kiss her, etc. - @lullikiish
A post TRF fic, where Sherlock takes Molly with him, but they return to London a couple years later than in canon because Molly got pregnant along the way (or even twice), so now they are three/four of them instead of two? - @mychakk
Victorian “Hooper”lock—Molly in disguise as “Hooper” the man, and they work together on a case and sparks fly. They flirt and all, and Sherlock can’t figure out right away that she’s a woman, and I think it might not even bother him that much. - @lullikiish
“We had chips. She liked me.” – Sherlock in TLD. What could have been had he and Molly gotten chips in TEH: A kick to Tom’s butt. Happy greeting (a hug at least!) at the end of TEH. Quite a lot of sex with Sherlock instead of Tom. Molly the best man’s date. A (sophisticated. Or not) Molly/Janine cat fight for Janine hitting on SH moments. Dancing, so much Sherlolly dancing (and no leaving early). Probably no Shezza (Shezzer?)—which, hmm, is a shame (But maybe they’ve their own not-being-on-a-sex-holiday-but-sexing-a-lot time). A real proposal to Molly. Molly at family Christmas, maybe even a Christmas wedding. Solving CAM without the threat of exile sharpens Sherlock’s deductive abilities. No Norbury as Molly’s already expecting their first offspring, so Sherlock doesn’t taunt needlessly. Mary as the Sherlolly baby godmother as she’s alive! Culverton Smith is taken down by the duo of Mary and Molly while the latter gives birth there (because the ladies are awesome, plus Mrs H tackles him down). John is so impressed he doesn’t look at any other women. Molly’s big heart brings Eurus from her metaphoric plane the moment she steps into 221B, plus baby Holmes wins her heart too. The Holmes family reconciliation and Eurus is in therapy instead of being a multi-killer. Baker Street Boys Team continues while Baker Street Girls Team gives them a run for their money. Mycroft asks Lady Smallwood out himself to her astonishment and internal squealing. Mummy Holmes gets more grandkids than she could’ve imagined. And basically, everyone walks happily into the sunset. The End. Please note, some things can obviously be modified. - @mychakk *
AU: Molly runs away from home when her parents try to arrange a marriage for her. She wants to pursue a life that involves science and marry for love if she ever gets married at all. She meets Sherlock, who is being pressured by his family to marry a nice girl they found for him who loves science as much as he does. It will be interesting when they figure it out. - @shadowyqueenbeard
AU. Instead of dying, Mary actually does hide from Sherlock and John effectively and they don’t find her. Still wracked by guilt and worried he’ll never see her again, John still imagines her in his mind and Sherlock still goes after Culverton Smith … possibly both to save John and because maybe Smith knows something about where Mary went? To solve the mystery and bring Mary home, Sherlock and Molly team up. - @rooneykmara
Crack!fic. Molly and Sherlock had a fake wedding for a case. However, when Molly applies for a marriage license to Tom, it turns out the wedding was actually real. She has to approach Sherlock for an annulment. It seems Sherlock deleted the event, because he doesn’t seem to remember it. Or does he? It seems he is too busy to sign the paperwork, he has misplaced it, always an excuse not to dissolve the marriage. Eventually he has to admit he really does want to be married to her. So Molly has to decide between two men. Which one does she choose? 😉 - @shadowyqueenbeard
Molly, unbeknownst to Sherlock, suffers from psoriasis since her teen years. This is why she’s been adamant about being more physically intimate with him, no matter how much she wants to. Fortunately for her, Sherlock doesn’t care about it at all. Could be a hard T or M rating. Loosely inspired by Loo’s own bout with the disease. - @violetjersey *
Fluff and maybe smut, or angst with a happy ending: Molly has a creepy feeling that she is being followed, and goes to Lestrade for help. He discovers that she has a security detail, curtesy of Sherlock. Molly is not pleased with this situation. Sherlock doesn’t understand why not, shouldn’t she be glad that he cares about her safety? After getting an earful from Molly, he cancels the security detail. Molly promptly leaves town without a word to anyone, leaving Sherlock to sweat. Is she okay? Most likely she is on a beach sipping Margaritas, but maybe she’s in trouble. He would like to make amends but first he as to find her. Should he try to locate her or leave her alone as requested? - @shadowyqueenbeard
I have read this in one or two fics, but not really developed as a main theme of the story … so: What if Rosie wants to pair John and Molly? How Sherlock will react and … how will he convince Rosie that Molly is for him and not for John. I’m imagining some angst in the middle because the silly man thinks this is a wonderful idea: Rosie gets a mummy and Molly gets a family. In fact, Sherlock sets up a date between Molly and John while he’s babysitting Rosie. - @kalkopyryt
Crack!Fic. Molly decides to try speed dating. The day she goes Sherlock is there, deducing everyone else to shreds. He tells Molly he is there purely by coincidence. He’s not trying to thwart her attempts at dating at all. Really! - @shadowyqueenbeard
NEW - I’m thinking about Sherlock early in their relationship finds someone clothes that are familiar but can’t remember where, but then he watches some old Moriarty video and realizes where the clothes come from. The end is up to the author. Thank you! - @deemura

List of Sherlolly Prompts as of 7/26/2017 - We’ve got a new one!
Here is a link to the very informal Sherlolly Prompt Fest FAQ
Below is the list of prompts submitted to @holidaysat221b. Where possible, we have tagged the submitter so that credit can be given if a prompt inspires someone to write a fic or create a piece of art.
Some submissions were specifically labeled as Art prompts, and they have been separated into their own category. However, if you are a fic writer and one of the art prompts calls to you, go for it. Likewise, if one of the other prompts makes you want to draw, have fun with it! Prompts that have been filled at least once will be followed with an *, in case that influences your decision to work with one.
We only ask three things:
1) If you use one of the prompts on this list, please remember to credit the prompt and prompter somewhere in your fic summary/art description or in your notes. It’s the polite thing to do.
2) Please submit an ask or message @holidaysat221b with a link to your work, the prompt you used, the prompter, and how you want to be identified (in cases where your Tumblr and fic/artist name are different). This will allow us to share your work with our followers and tag the prompter (if possible).
3) We have set up a Sherlolly Prompt Fest Collection on Ao3. If you are planning to post your fic or art on Ao3 and would like to add it to the collection, please do. As of this moment, the collection is open and unmoderated. Please remember to credit the prompt and prompter in your fic/art notes.
On to the Prompts as of July 26, 2017
Art
Art prompt: (I’ve wanted this like burning for five years, I’ll never give up asking) Sherlock and Molly, the cake scene from Sixteen Candles". Only in the morgue and Molly’s wearing the lab coat. - @sunken-standard *
Art prompt: Potter!lock. Don’t care if it’s student Sherlock and Molly in their house robes, teachers, wizarding professionals, a recreation of the Order of the Phoenix group photo with Sherlock characters instead. Whatever. Just as long as it’s Potter!lock. - @darnedchild
Art prompt: Molly and Sherlock’s first real date gets interrupted by a case. Are they dressed up for a fancy evening, or wearing something more suited to fish and chips and a walk around the park? - Anonymous
Crossovers/Works set in or inspired by another specific fictional universe (ie Potter!lock)
I’d really like to see a Daemon (from the His Dark Materials books by Philip Pullman) version of Series 3/TAB/Series 4 (any or all of those), especially when it comes to the ILY scene. - Kay
iZombie!Sherlock – Think of this, if Sherlock gets infected we have: 1) Sherlock with white hair 2) Sherlock getting brains from Molly “for experiments” 3) Sherlock getting different attitudes (hippie brain = hippie!Sherlock) 4) Paler than normal pale Sherlock 5) Sherlock with red bloodshot eyes. Also: If Molly Hooper gets infected, it’s like she’s the Liv Moore of Barts. Lestrade as Clive (and relieved to be not only depending on Sherlock to solve crimes). Sherlock deduces Molly’s hair color and tan (because Molly can’t show up to work with white hair, even whiter skin color, and very slow pulse rate). Major asshole Boss being the one shipping tainted Utopium to Britain. - The Silent Fangirl
Superwholock!Sherlolly - The Silent Fangirl
Doctor Who!Sherlock - Molly Hooper as a companion - The Silent Fangirl
Me Before You!Sherlock - The Silent Fangirl
Molly Hooper as “Mary Reilly”. - @darnedchild
Dracula!lock, but maybe mix it up just a little. Sherlock as the object of Dracula’s affections (Mina) and/or Molly as the vampire expert (Van Helsing)? - @darnedchild
Sherlock and Lady Molly of Scotland Yard. Molly Hooper as Lady Molly from “Lady Molly of Scotland Yard” with her crime solving partner Mary (Morstan). (Note from Mod - “Lady Molly of Scotland Yard” used to be available via BBC Radio 4 Extra on demand, you may still be able to find it online somewhere.) - @lullikiish
A Hades and Persephone AU with Molly as female Hades (the unrequited love at first, the proximity with death) and Sherlock as a male Persephone (the curiosity, the lack of eating). Irene would be a great Poseidon (the chaos provided by the ocean, the sailor knots). As for John, he would be a great Hermes! - Kay
Gimme “The Full Monty”, baby. Surely someone can find a reason to have Sherlock, John, and Greg get their kits off? Or Molly, Mary, and Sally? Mrs H could give professional pointers and tips to whomever you’re planning to get starkers. - Anonymous
A Sherlolly version of “It’s A Wonderful Life”. Sherlock gets to see what his loved ones’ lives would be like if he never existed, realizing the positive impact he had on them when he was alive. - @simplyshelbs16xoxo
Something similar to “The Ransom of Red Chief”, only in this version the kidnappers have figured out that Molly Hooper is a pressure point for Sherlock Holmes. They take her captive, intending to blackmail Sherlock or hold Molly for ransom; but Molly Hooper is having none of that nonsense. While Sherlock works to save her, Molly finds ways to torment, injure, and outwit her captors. Whether she escapes on her own, finds a way to let Sherlock and John know where she’s at, or ends up driving her kidnappers crazy to the point that they give up and send her back is up to the author. Could go humorous or dark very easily. - Anonymous
Clique/Sherlock Crossover - After the events of TFP, Molly Hooper (who is actually Jude McDermid) decides to go back to Edinburgh, broken-hearted & bound to continue the “family business” after years of running away from it. Gone is her long hair & colorful jumpers: she completely changed her look & have every information about Molly Hooper destroyed. Years passed, she forms the Solasta Women’s Initiative, much to her brother’s delight, until a horrific event brings Sherlock Holmes back into her world again. It’s more of a Sherlolly/Judelock mash-up where Sherlock wants to know why she left, who she really is, & how he’s still madly in love with her. Molly/Jude is more like she’s finally embracing the life she thought she never wanted, until she realizes that she can never forget the love she has for Sherlock. Can she be Jude & love him as well? Can Sherlock accept her true reality, or does he only love her as Molly & not Jude. Throw in a nice mystery/thriller plot too! Oh yeah Mycroft, who knew Molly is Jude from the beginning but decided to let Sherlock figure it out on his own, is determined to stop this union at all cost. Pls include all the girls & guys in Clique, especially Holly since she’s a badass off to take down Jude and her “girls” no matter what! It’s a crazy plot but if you’ve seen the 1st 2 episodes of Clique, it screams for a Sherlolly crossover fic! Thanks for reading this uber-long fic prompt! - @violetjersey
A reversed Potter!lolly with Sherlock being the Muggle-born, while Molly’s the pureblood witch (the likes of Luna Lovegood). Sherlolly, of course. - @mychakk
Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None” – because I always think of the movies when I see Mizjoely’s U.N. Owen tag. - @darnedchild
Song fic/Inspired by lyrics
Song Fic: Adele’s “Water Under the Bridge” - @darnedchild *
Song Fic: … I would love something based on “Samson” by Regina Spektor please. - @chelle812
Song Fic: Katy Perry’s “Unconditionally” - @darnedchild
Song Fic: Texas’ “I’ll See It Through” - @darnedchild
Song Fic: … I’ve got a quote from a song. “You only know you love her when you let her go.” (Note from Mod - The song appears to be Passenger’s “Let Her Go”) - @flowerstar5 *
OT3/Sherlock, Molly, and ?
A case involving wine and stolen spatulas leads to Mycroft Holmes being attracted to Molly Hooper. Too bad Molly’s had enough of the Holmeses, and Sherlock mooning over her really isn’t helping. (Molly Hooper/Mycroft Holmes/Sherlock Holmes) - The Silent Fangirl
Molly wants to meet The Woman. Irene and Sherlock are still friends, and Molly is curious. Much to everyone’s surprise, Molly and Irene hit it off fairly quickly. (Sherlock Holmes/Molly Hooper/Irene Adler) - Anonymous
When Sherlock is injured and stuck in a cast up to his thigh, Mary and Molly find out JUST how grumpy he can get. They end up putting him by a window with binoculars, his pain medication, snacks, juice and his mobile. What happens next? (Molly Hooper/Sherlock Holmes/Mary (Morstan)Watson) - @penaltywaltz
Everything Else
Sherlock is undercover. He’s renting a small place and he’s trying to fit in with the extremely old fashioned community that is probably hiding a deadly smuggling ring or something equally bad. He ends up calling on Molly to come help. Since he’s already established as an unmarried man, his ‘sister’ (or other family member) arrives for a visit. Cue living in the same house while hot for each other type shenanigans while pretending to be siblings under the watchful eye of some suspicious townspeople. - Anonymous
Molly’s school reunion – Sherlock assumes he’ll be needed to help Molly show everyone up. The catch: Molly’s been a beloved peer, so it’s him who gets the obligatory “you hurt her, we’ll end you". :) - @mychakk
Sherlock sees a woman on the street. Instantly intrigued (you can choose as to why) he follows her. - @mel-loves-all
Molly loves wearing Sherlock’s house robes. - @mel-loves-all
Molly has a piece of body piercing jewelry or a tattoo located somewhere that surprises and titillates Sherlock. - @mel-loves-all *
Whenever Molly is close, Sherlock unconsciously always seems to need to touch her in some way after they start dating. He doesn’t notice it, but Molly does. - @mel-loves-all
A midnight dance. - @mel-loves-all
John tries to set up Sherlock with a girl. Unsurprisingly, there are a lot of contenders. And what does Molly have to say about that? - The Silent Fangirl
Through unexpected circumstances, Sherlock and Molly get engaged. It doesn’t end well. Crack!fic - The Silent Fangirl
Eurus Holmes ships the Sherlolly. So does John and Mycroft. Soon, everyone gets dragged into the Sherlolly craze. Crack!fic - The Silent Fangirl
Molly lives in the flat across from 221B. You know, the one that exploded? Yeah. But before that, there was a) looking at the hot naked guy in the window b) said hot naked guy crashing into her flat because he just wants to c) her traitorous cat crossing the street to hot naked guy’s flat. - The Silent Fangirl
Sherlock: A TV series featuring a hot guy with awesome deductive skills, his best friend the doctor, the exasperated detective inspector, the sweet landlady, and the pathologist. And no, the pathologist isn’t in love with the hot guy. - The Silent Fangirl
Molly stops being Sherlock’s pathologist, and starts being THE Pathologist. BAMF!Molly - The Silent Fangirl
This, Sherlock thinks through the haze of cocaine, truly is the worst form of torture. Mycroft and Molly’s wedding through Sherlock’s drug-addled POV. - The Silent Fangirl
Molly commits suicide, but only Sherlock thinks she didn’t. He may not be wrong. - The Silent Fangirl
When John Watson dies, Rosie is given into the care of her godparents. Problem is, they aren’t exactly on speaking terms. Bonus for Harry Watson appearance! - The Silent Fangirl
Molly nearly gets hit by a speeding car … until Sherlock pushes her out of the way and gets hit himself. H/C - The Silent Fangirl
Molly in labor. After watching Mary in labor in TST, I kinda wanna see a funny take on Molly giving birth to her and Sherlock’s child. Maybe something like Molly being in pain, she wishes out loud she’d never had sex with Sherlock, while Sherlock logically points out how well they emotionally and biologically fit together. - Anonymous
Fluff. Molly has been hospitalized for whatever reason. She decides that she is feeling better and just wants to go home. However, the hospital does not want to release her yet. So Molly decides to leave AMA (against medical advice). She feels she can recover at home just as well and also she is eager to get back to work. Besides, who is going to know? This is something someone might expect from Sherlock, but not Molly. How long before he finds out? What is his reaction? - @shadowyqueenbeard
Angst. Molly discovers she is pregnant and is not happy about it. Although she would love to have a baby at some point, right now is not the time. She and Sherlock do not have a commitment and her career is going well. She plans to terminate the pregnancy. Sherlock finds out and tries to stop her. He please with her to change her mind, marry him and be a family. Is this just a control tactic or does he really love her? - @shadowyqueenbeard *
Molly discovers there is Sherlock Holmes RPF (Real Person Fiction) on the internet. She’s shocked to find that someone called Sherlolly4vr74 has been writing fic about her and Sherlock, and they seem to have a dedicated fan base. Some of the stories are very sweet and romantic, some of them are hot enough to give her NSFW ideas. Who is Sherlolly4vr74 (Is it Anderson? Mrs Hudson? Mary? John? I bet it’s John.) and is Sherlock aware of the stories? - @darnedchild
Eurus has been known to put on a persona and disguise to get close to people for information – she was Faith for Sherlock, E and the psychiatrist for John. What if she had also spent some time around Molly prior to the events at Sherrinford? What information would she have gleaned about her brother and his pathologist? - @darnedchild
Can they be R rated. Because I feel Sherlock would not muck about, with telling Molly what he would like to do to her, he would not use cute little names for all her female parts and would go into great detail, like all his cases. She would be his very serious case. Yes he would most defiantly do a lot of research on pleasing her. Write it however you are most comfortable with. - @oliverfel4
Sherlock and Molly are getting married! It’s time to work on the guest list for the wedding, and suddenly they are faced with the question—Do they let Euros come, or not? - @celticmoonbeam
Shipwrecked Sherlolly—Sherlock saves Molly from drowning. - Anonymous
Euros leads Sherlock to believe that he failed, and Molly was killed after the ILY scene. Much angst ensues as he blames himself for her loss … but then we get to see the happy reunion scene when he learns she’s alive. - Anonymous
Moriarty trying to up Sherlock by sleeping with Molly, but the joke is on him, as Sherlock and Molly knew each other from secondary school/uni and were each other’s firsts. They can be regular (exclusive) lovers too. - @mychakk
Mary as matchmaker. At John and Mary’s wedding, Mary feels a little sad when they leave him alone to go dance (“What about you?”). She decides to make it her mission to help Sherlock find a girl so he’s not alone anymore. And this former agent has no trouble figuring out the potential between Sherlock and a certain Molly Hooper … (Up to you whether or not you want to throw in a Janine segue before she decides to set him up with Molly. And feel free to cover Sherlock being shot!) - @celticmoonbeam
Molly discovers she’s pregnant with Sherlock’s child at the worst possible time: while she’s with his parents, being hidden away, and the two are pretending to be just friends. Bonus if they figure it out before they’re told! - @penaltywaltz
After the events of TFP, Molly and Sherlock get closer. Suddenly, though, he pulls away and starts flirting with a coworker of hers, sometimes blatantly in front of her. It isn’t until an event at Barts that the truth comes out that it was all for a case. - @penaltywaltz
Molly finds out that as a child Sherlock liked the book “The Westing Game” and for one of his birthdays she arranges a vacation mimicking the plot of the book, even if none of them really fit the particular characters. - @penaltywaltz
Sherlock wants to make a gourmet meal for Molly for a special occasion, but he doesn’t seem to get it quite right. Fortunately, a friend/relative is willing to help. - @penaltywaltz
Sherlock moves in with Molly and begins perusing her book collection, picking up random books that have interesting looking covers, and the next thing Molly knows he’s turned into a fantasy buff. - @penaltywaltz *
Non-established Sherlolly. Sherlock gets a hold of Molly’s phone one afternoon and can’t resist snooping. He’s surprised to see a folder in her photo gallery marked “Special” and it’s all photos of him. - @penaltywaltz
Have you had sex? – After Euros asked that I somehow thought “Molly??” (as Sherlock says, Irene only texts him, he doesn’t reply). Later it seems that Euros is the only one who ever has noticed that Molly causes some emotions in him. So my theory is that something happened between Molly and Sherlock, it happened pretty recently, somehow (stressful night and they talked or they had some drinks and somehow one thing led to another) they ended up having sex; but Sherlock wasn’t good at dealing with it after or something urgent came along and he didn’t really consider Molly’s emotions, he ran off right after or in the morning, and that could be the reason why Molly didn’t pick up the phone first and was in a bad mood during the “ILY scene”.

“We had chips. She liked me.” – Sherlock in TLD. What could have been had he and Molly gotten chips in TEH: A kick to Tom’s butt. Happy greeting (a hug at least!) at the end of TEH. Quite a lot of sex with Sherlock instead of Tom. Molly the best man’s date. A (sophisticated. Or not) Molly/Janine cat fight for Janine hitting on SH moments.

Art prompt: (I’ve wanted this like burning for five years, I’ll never give up asking) Sherlock and Molly, the cake scene from Sixteen Candles". Only in the morgue and Molly’s wearing the lab coat. - @sunken-standard *
Art prompt: Potter!lock. Don’t care if it’s student Sherlock and Molly in their house robes, teachers, wizarding professionals, a recreation of the Order of the Phoenix group photo with Sherlock characters instead. Whatever. Just as long as it’s Potter!lock. - @darnedchild
Art prompt: Molly and Sherlock’s first real date gets interrupted by a case. Are they dressed up for a fancy evening, or wearing something more suited to fish and chips and a walk around the park? - Anonymous
Crossovers/Works set in or inspired by another specific fictional universe (ie Potter!lock)
I’d really like to see a Daemon (from the His Dark Materials books by Philip Pullman) version of Series 3/TAB/Series 4 (any or all of those), especially when it comes to the ILY scene. - Kay
iZombie!Sherlock – Think of this, if Sherlock gets infected we have: 1) Sherlock with white hair 2) Sherlock getting brains from Molly “for experiments” 3) Sherlock getting different attitudes (hippie brain = hippie!Sherlock) 4) Paler than normal pale Sherlock 5) Sherlock with red bloodshot eyes. Also: If Molly Hooper gets infected, it’s like she’s the Liv Moore of Barts. Lestrade as Clive (and relieved to be not only depending on Sherlock to solve crimes). Sherlock deduces Molly’s hair color and tan (because Molly can’t show up to work with white hair, even whiter skin color, and very slow pulse rate). Major asshole Boss being the one shipping tainted Utopium to Britain. - The Silent Fangirl
Superwholock!Sherlolly - The Silent Fangirl
Doctor Who!Sherlock - Molly Hooper as a companion - The Silent Fangirl
Me Before You!Sherlock - The Silent Fangirl
Molly Hooper as “Mary Reilly”. - @darnedchild
Dracula!lock, but maybe mix it up just a little. Sherlock as the object of Dracula’s affections (Mina) and/or Molly as the vampire expert (Van Helsing)? - @darnedchild
Sherlock and Lady Molly of Scotland Yard. Molly Hooper as Lady Molly from “Lady Molly of Scotland Yard” with her crime solving partner Mary (Morstan). (Note from Mod - “Lady Molly of Scotland Yard” used to be available via BBC Radio 4 Extra on demand, you may still be able to find it online somewhere.) - @lullikiish
A Hades and Persephone AU with Molly as female Hades (the unrequited love at first, the proximity with death) and Sherlock as a male Persephone (the curiosity, the lack of eating). Irene would be a great Poseidon (the chaos provided by the ocean, the sailor knots). As for John, he would be a great Hermes! - Kay
Gimme “The Full Monty”, baby. Surely someone can find a reason to have Sherlock, John, and Greg get their kits off? Or Molly, Mary, and Sally? Mrs H could give professional pointers and tips to whomever you’re planning to get starkers. - Anonymous
A Sherlolly version of “It’s A Wonderful Life”. Sherlock gets to see what his loved ones’ lives would be like if he never existed, realizing the positive impact he had on them when he was alive. - @simplyshelbs16xoxo
Something similar to “The Ransom of Red Chief”, only in this version the kidnappers have figured out that Molly Hooper is a pressure point for Sherlock Holmes. They take her captive, intending to blackmail Sherlock or hold Molly for ransom; but Molly Hooper is having none of that nonsense. While Sherlock works to save her, Molly finds ways to torment, injure, and outwit her captors. Whether she escapes on her own, finds a way to let Sherlock and John know where she’s at, or ends up driving her kidnappers crazy to the point that they give up and send her back is up to the author. Could go humorous or dark very easily. - Anonymous
Clique/Sherlock Crossover - After the events of TFP, Molly Hooper (who is actually Jude McDermid) decides to go back to Edinburgh, broken-hearted & bound to continue the “family business” after years of running away from it. Gone is her long hair & colorful jumpers: she completely changed her look & have every information about Molly Hooper destroyed. Years passed, she forms the Solasta Women’s Initiative, much to her brother’s delight, until a horrific event brings Sherlock Holmes back into her world again. It’s more of a Sherlolly/Judelock mash-up where Sherlock wants to know why she left, who she really is, & how he’s still madly in love with her. Molly/Jude is more like she’s finally embracing the life she thought she never wanted, until she realizes that she can never forget the love she has for Sherlock. Can she be Jude & love him as well? Can Sherlock accept her true reality, or does he only love her as Molly & not Jude. Throw in a nice mystery/thriller plot too! Oh yeah Mycroft, who knew Molly is Jude from the beginning but decided to let Sherlock figure it out on his own, is determined to stop this union at all cost. Pls include all the girls & guys in Clique, especially Holly since she’s a badass off to take down Jude and her “girls” no matter what! It’s a crazy plot but if you’ve seen the 1st 2 episodes of Clique, it screams for a Sherlolly crossover fic! Thanks for reading this uber-long fic prompt! - @violetjersey
A reversed Potter!lolly with Sherlock being the Muggle-born, while Molly’s the pureblood witch (the likes of Luna Lovegood). Sherlolly, of course. - @mychakk
Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None” – because I always think of the movies when I see Mizjoely’s U.N. Owen tag. - @darnedchild
Song fic/Inspired by lyrics
Song Fic: Adele’s “Water Under the Bridge” - @darnedchild *
Song Fic: … I would love something based on “Samson” by Regina Spektor please. - @chelle812

Song Fic: … I’ve got a quote from a song. “You only know you love her when you let her go.” (Note from Mod - The song appears to be Passenger’s “Let Her Go”) - @flowerstar5 *
OT3/Sherlock, Molly, and ?
A case involving wine and stolen spatulas leads to Mycroft Holmes being attracted to Molly Hooper. Too bad Molly’s had enough of the Holmeses, and Sherlock mooning over her really isn’t helping. (Molly Hooper/Mycroft Holmes/Sherlock Holmes) - The Silent Fangirl
Molly wants to meet The Woman. Irene and Sherlock are still friends, and Molly is curious. Much to everyone’s surprise, Molly and Irene hit it off fairly quickly. (Sherlock Holmes/Molly Hooper/Irene Adler) - Anonymous
When Sherlock is injured and stuck in a cast up to his thigh, Mary and Molly find out JUST how grumpy he can get. They end up putting him by a window with binoculars, his pain medication, snacks, juice and his mobile. What happens next? (Molly Hooper/Sherlock Holmes/Mary (Morstan)Watson) - @penaltywaltz
Everything Else
Sherlock is undercover. He’s renting a small place and he’s trying to fit in with the extremely old fashioned community that is probably hiding a deadly smuggling ring or something equally bad. He ends up calling on Molly to come help. Since he’s already established as an unmarried man, his ‘sister’ (or other family member) arrives for a visit. Cue living in the same house while hot for each other type shenanigans while pretending to be siblings under the watchful eye of some suspicious townspeople. - Anonymous
Molly’s school reunion – Sherlock assumes he’ll be needed to help Molly show everyone up. The catch: Molly’s been a beloved peer, so it’s him who gets the obligatory “you hurt her, we’ll end you". :) - @mychakk
Sherlock sees a woman on the street. Instantly intrigued (you can choose as to why) he follows her. - @mel-loves-all
Molly loves wearing Sherlock’s house robes. - @mel-loves-all
Molly has a piece of body piercing jewelry or a tattoo located somewhere that surprises and titillates Sherlock. - @mel-loves-all *
Whenever Molly is close, Sherlock unconsciously always seems to need to touch her in some way after they start dating. He doesn’t notice it, but Molly does. - @mel-loves-all
A midnight dance. - @mel-loves-all
John tries to set up Sherlock with a girl. Unsurprisingly, there are a lot of contenders. And what does Molly have to say about that? - The Silent Fangirl
Through unexpected circumstances, Sherlock and Molly get engaged. It doesn’t end well. Crack!fic - The Silent Fangirl
Eurus Holmes ships the Sherlolly. So does John and Mycroft. Soon, everyone gets dragged into the Sherlolly craze. Crack!fic - The Silent Fangirl
Molly lives in the flat across from 221B. You know, the one that exploded? Yeah. But before that, there was a) looking at the hot naked guy in the window b) said hot naked guy crashing into her flat because he just wants to c) her traitorous cat crossing the street to hot naked guy’s flat. - The Silent Fangirl
Sherlock: A TV series featuring a hot guy with awesome deductive skills, his best friend the doctor, the exasperated detective inspector, the sweet landlady, and the pathologist. And no, the pathologist isn’t in love with the hot guy. - The Silent Fangirl
Molly stops being Sherlock’s pathologist, and starts being THE Pathologist. BAMF!Molly - The Silent Fangirl
This, Sherlock thinks through the haze of cocaine, truly is the worst form of torture. Mycroft and Molly’s wedding through Sherlock’s drug-addled POV. - The Silent Fangirl
Molly commits suicide, but only Sherlock thinks she didn’t. He may not be wrong. - The Silent Fangirl
When John Watson dies, Rosie is given into the care of her godparents. Problem is, they aren’t exactly on speaking terms. Bonus for Harry Watson appearance! - The Silent Fangirl
Molly nearly gets hit by a speeding car … until Sherlock pushes her out of the way and gets hit himself. H/C - The Silent Fangirl
Molly in labor. After watching Mary in labor in TST, I kinda wanna see a funny take on Molly giving birth to her and Sherlock’s child. Maybe something like Molly being in pain, she wishes out loud she’d never had sex with Sherlock, while Sherlock logically points out how well they emotionally and biologically fit together. - Anonymous
Fluff. Molly has been hospitalized for whatever reason. She decides that she is feeling better and just wants to go home. However, the hospital does not want to release her yet. So Molly decides to leave AMA (against medical advice). She feels she can recover at home just as well and also she is eager to get back to work. Besides, who is going to know? This is something someone might expect from Sherlock, but not Molly. How long before he finds out? What is his reaction? - @shadowyqueenbeard
Angst. Molly discovers she is pregnant and is not happy about it. Although she would love to have a baby at some point, right now is not the time. She and Sherlock do not have a commitment and her career is going well. She plans to terminate the pregnancy. Sherlock finds out and tries to stop her. He please with her to change her mind, marry him and be a family. Is this just a control tactic or does he really love her? - @shadowyqueenbeard *
Molly discovers there is Sherlock Holmes RPF (Real Person Fiction) on the internet. She’s shocked to find that someone called Sherlolly4vr74 has been writing fic about her and Sherlock, and they seem to have a dedicated fan base. Some of the stories are very sweet and romantic, some of them are hot enough to give her NSFW ideas. Who is Sherlolly4vr74 (Is it Anderson? Mrs Hudson? Mary? John? I bet it’s John.) and is Sherlock aware of the stories? - @darnedchild
Eurus has been known to put on a persona and disguise to get close to people for information – she was Faith for Sherlock, E and the psychiatrist for John. What if she had also spent some time around Molly prior to the events at Sherrinford? What information would she have gleaned about her brother and his pathologist? - @darnedchild
Can they be R rated. Because I feel Sherlock would not muck about, with telling Molly what he would like to do to her, he would not use cute little names for all her female parts and would go into great detail, like all his cases. She would be his very serious case. Yes he would most defiantly do a lot of research on pleasing her. Write it however you are most comfortable with. - @oliverfel4
Sherlock and Molly are getting married! It’s time to work on the guest list for the wedding, and suddenly they are faced with the question—Do they let Euros come, or not? - @celticmoonbeam
Shipwrecked Sherlolly—Sherlock saves Molly from drowning. - Anonymous
Euros leads Sherlock to believe that he failed, and Molly was killed after the ILY scene. Much angst ensues as he blames himself for her loss … but then we get to see the happy reunion scene when he learns she’s alive. - Anonymous
Moriarty trying to up Sherlock by sleeping with Molly, but the joke is on him, as Sherlock and Molly knew each other from secondary school/uni and were each other’s firsts. They can be regular (exclusive) lovers too. - @mychakk
Mary as matchmaker. At John and Mary’s wedding, Mary feels a little sad when they leave him alone to go dance (“What about you?”). She decides to make it her mission to help Sherlock find a girl so he’s not alone anymore. And this former agent has no trouble figuring out the potential between Sherlock and a certain Molly Hooper … (Up to you whether or not you want to throw in a Janine segue before she decides to set him up with Molly. And feel free to cover Sherlock being shot!) - @celticmoonbeam
Molly discovers she’s pregnant with Sherlock’s child at the worst possible time: while she’s with his parents, being hidden away, and the two are pretending to be just friends. Bonus if they figure it out before they’re told! - @penaltywaltz
After the events of TFP, Molly and Sherlock get closer. Suddenly, though, he pulls away and starts flirting with a coworker of hers, sometimes blatantly in front of her. It isn’t until an event at Barts that the truth comes out that it was all for a case. - @penaltywaltz
Molly finds out that as a child Sherlock liked the book “The Westing Game” and for one of his birthdays she arranges a vacation mimicking the plot of the book, even if none of them really fit the particular characters. - @penaltywaltz
Sherlock wants to make a gourmet meal for Molly for a special occasion, but he doesn’t seem to get it quite right. Fortunately, a friend/relative is willing to help. - @penaltywaltz
Sherlock moves in with Molly and begins perusing her book collection, picking up random books that have interesting looking covers, and the next thing Molly knows he’s turned into a fantasy buff. - @penaltywaltz *
Non-established Sherlolly. Sherlock gets a hold of Molly’s phone one afternoon and can’t resist snooping. He’s surprised to see a folder in her photo gallery marked “Special” and it’s all photos of him. - @penaltywaltz
Have you had sex? – After Euros asked that I somehow thought “Molly??” (as Sherlock says, Irene only texts him, he doesn’t reply). Later it seems that Euros is the only one who ever has noticed that Molly causes some emotions in him. So my theory is that something happened between Molly and Sherlock, it happened pretty recently, somehow (stressful night and they talked or they had some drinks and somehow one thing led to another) they ended up having sex; but Sherlock wasn’t good at dealing with it after or something urgent came along and he didn’t really consider Molly’s emotions, he ran off right after or in the morning, and that could be the reason why Molly didn’t pick up the phone first and was in a bad mood during the “ILY scene”. What happened between them recently is the reason why Molly is a bit rude to Sherlock when he calls, and the reason why she gets so emotional and raw so easily over the I Love You thing, and why she so easily tells him to say it first. Well, then when Sherlock says “I love you” he finally realizes fully that he really does love her too, and that he is capable of loving that way, and finally sees how easy it could be and what he could lose. Then after this whole thing he goes to talk to Molly and explain things to her. - @lullikiish
Complete me as a person. — Scene that popped into my mind. Irene has been texting Sherlock again, Sherlock in the end almost agrees to meet her for dinner, but as he’s walking out of his flat while Molly is there looking after Rosie he sees Molly in kind of slo-mo in the golden evening sun holding Rosie and being all sweet. Maybe already something a bit has happened before between them, some flirting, etc. The talk with John about a relationship completing him as a person is on the back of his mind. He walks out, but midway down the stairs while taking his phone out (symbolically in darkness compared to that evening sun) he realizes that he misses that warmth and Molly, and realizes that is what completes him. He takes out his phone and texts he’s not coming and then goes back upstairs. Sees Molly all adorable and confused/surprised in this beautiful light and maybe goes to kiss her, etc. - @lullikiish
A post TRF fic, where Sherlock takes Molly with him, but they return to London a couple years later than in canon because Molly got pregnant along the way (or even twice), so now they are three/four of them instead of two? - @mychakk
Victorian “Hooper”lock—Molly in disguise as “Hooper” the man, and they work together on a case and sparks fly. They flirt and all, and Sherlock can’t figure out right away that she’s a woman, and I think it might not even bother him that much. - @lullikiish
“We had chips. She liked me.” – Sherlock in TLD. What could have been had he and Molly gotten chips in TEH: A kick to Tom’s butt. Happy greeting (a hug at least!) at the end of TEH. Quite a lot of sex with Sherlock instead of Tom. Molly the best man’s date. A (sophisticated. Or not) Molly/Janine cat fight for Janine hitting on SH moments. Dancing, so much Sherlolly dancing (and no leaving early). Probably no Shezza (Shezzer?)—which, hmm, is a shame (But maybe they’ve their own not-being-on-a-sex-holiday-but-sexing-a-lot time). A real proposal to Molly. Molly at family Christmas, maybe even a Christmas wedding. Solving CAM without the threat of exile sharpens Sherlock’s deductive abilities. No Norbury as Molly’s already expecting their first offspring, so Sherlock doesn’t taunt needlessly. Mary as the Sherlolly baby godmother as she’s alive! Culverton Smith is taken down by the duo of Mary and Molly while the latter gives birth there (because the ladies are awesome, plus Mrs H tackles him down). John is so impressed he doesn’t look at any other women. Molly’s big heart brings Eurus from her metaphoric plane the moment she steps into 221B, plus baby Holmes wins her heart too. The Holmes family reconciliation and Eurus is in therapy instead of being a multi-killer. Baker Street Boys Team continues while Baker Street Girls Team gives them a run for their money. Mycroft asks Lady Smallwood out himself to her astonishment and internal squealing. Mummy Holmes gets more grandkids than she could’ve imagined. And basically, everyone walks happily into the sunset. The End. Please note, some things can obviously be modified. - @mychakk *
AU: Molly runs away from home when her parents try to arrange a marriage for her. She wants to pursue a life that involves science and marry for love if she ever gets married at all. She meets Sherlock, who is being pressured by his family to marry a nice girl they found for him who loves science as much as he does. It will be interesting when they figure it out. - @shadowyqueenbeard
AU. Instead of dying, Mary actually does hide from Sherlock and John effectively and they don’t find her. Still wracked by guilt and worried he’ll never see her again, John still imagines her in his mind and Sherlock still goes after Culverton Smith … possibly both to save John and because maybe Smith knows something about where Mary went? To solve the mystery and bring Mary home, Sherlock and Molly team up. - @rooneykmara
Crack!fic. Molly and Sherlock had a fake wedding for a case. However, when Molly applies for a marriage license to Tom, it turns out the wedding was actually real. She has to approach Sherlock for an annulment. It seems Sherlock deleted the event, because he doesn’t seem to remember it. Or does he? It seems he is too busy to sign the paperwork, he has misplaced it, always an excuse not to dissolve the marriage. Eventually he has to admit he really does want to be married to her. So Molly has to decide between two men. Which one does she choose? 😉 - @shadowyqueenbeard
Molly, unbeknownst to Sherlock, suffers from psoriasis since her teen years. This is why she’s been adamant about being more physically intimate with him, no matter how much she wants to. Fortunately for her, Sherlock doesn’t care about it at all. Could be a hard T or M rating. Loosely inspired by Loo’s own bout with the disease. - @violetjersey *
Fluff and maybe smut, or angst with a happy ending: Molly has a creepy feeling that she is being followed, and goes to Lestrade for help. He discovers that she has a security detail, curtesy of Sherlock. Molly is not pleased with this situation. Sherlock doesn’t understand why not, shouldn’t she be glad that he cares about her safety? After getting an earful from Molly, he cancels the security detail. Molly promptly leaves town without a word to anyone, leaving Sherlock to sweat. Is she okay? Most likely she is on a beach sipping Margaritas, but maybe she’s in trouble. He would like to make amends but first he as to find her. Should he try to locate her or leave her alone as requested? - @shadowyqueenbeard

List of Sherlolly Prompts as of 8/16/2017
Here is a link to the very informal Sherlolly Prompt Fest FAQ
Below is the list of prompts submitted to @holidaysat221b. Where possible, we have tagged the submitter so that credit can be given if a prompt inspires someone to write a fic or create a piece of art.
Some submissions were specifically labeled as Art prompts, and they have been separated into their own category. However, if you are a fic writer and one of the art prompts calls to you, go for it. Likewise, if one of the other prompts makes you want to draw, have fun with it! Prompts that have been filled at least once will be followed with an *, in case that influences your decision to work with one.
We only ask three things:
1) If you use one of the prompts on this list, please remember to credit the prompt and prompter somewhere in your fic summary/art description or in your notes. It’s the polite thing to do.
2) Please submit an ask or message @holidaysat221b with a link to your work, the prompt you used, the prompter, and how you want to be identified (in cases where your Tumblr and fic/artist name are different). This will allow us to share your work with our followers and tag the prompter (if possible).
3) We have set up a Sherlolly Prompt Fest Collection on Ao3. If you are planning to post your fic or art on Ao3 and would like to add it to the collection, please do. As of this moment, the collection is open and unmoderated. Please remember to credit the prompt and prompter in your fic/art notes.

Clique/Sherlock Crossover - After the events of TFP, Molly Hooper (who is actually Jude McDermid) decides to go back to Edinburgh, broken-hearted & bound to continue the “family business” after years of running away from it. Gone is her long hair & colorful jumpers: she completely changed her look & have every information about Molly Hooper destroyed.

Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None” – because I always think of the movies when I see Mizjoely’s U.N. Owen tag. - @darnedchild
We know Molly can keep other people's secrets. Maybe Molly has a few secrets of her own, i.e. her very secret collection of FWBs. Because honestly, you think she would just sit alone in her home every night, year after year, quietly pining for a romantic relationship with Sherlock? And what a surprise when Sherlock and their friends find out...maybe at Sherlock and Molly's wedding? Crossover possibilities depend on FWBs selected...Q (James Bond), Loki (Avengers), Doctor Strange, etc. - @rubyred7531

When John Watson dies, Rosie is given into the care of her godparents. Problem is, they aren’t exactly on speaking terms. Bonus for Harry Watson appearance! - The Silent Fangirl
Molly nearly gets hit by a speeding car … until Sherlock pushes her out of the way and gets hit himself. H/C - The Silent Fangirl
Molly in labor. After watching Mary in labor in TST, I kinda wanna see a funny take on Molly giving birth to her and Sherlock’s child. Maybe something like Molly being in pain, she wishes out loud she’d never had sex with Sherlock, while Sherlock logically points out how well they emotionally and biologically fit together. - Anonymous
Fluff. Molly has been hospitalized for whatever reason. She decides that she is feeling better and just wants to go home. However, the hospital does not want to release her yet. So Molly decides to leave AMA (against medical advice). She feels she can recover at home just as well and also she is eager to get back to work. Besides, who is going to know? This is something someone might expect from Sherlock, but not Molly. How long before he finds out? What is his reaction? - @shadowyqueenbeard
Angst. Molly discovers she is pregnant and is not happy about it. Although she would love to have a baby at some point, right now is not the time. She and Sherlock do not have a commitment and her career is going well. She plans to terminate the pregnancy. Sherlock finds out and tries to stop her. He please with her to change her mind, marry him and be a family. Is this just a control tactic or does he really love her? - @shadowyqueenbeard *
Molly discovers there is Sherlock Holmes RPF (Real Person Fiction) on the internet. She’s shocked to find that someone called Sherlolly4vr74 has been writing fic about her and Sherlock, and they seem to have a dedicated fan base. Some of the stories are very sweet and romantic, some of them are hot enough to give her NSFW ideas. Who is Sherlolly4vr74 (Is it Anderson? Mrs Hudson? Mary? John? I bet it’s John.) and is Sherlock aware of the stories? - @darnedchild
Eurus has been known to put on a persona and disguise to get close to people for information – she was Faith for Sherlock, E and the psychiatrist for John. What if she had also spent some time around Molly prior to the events at Sherrinford? What information would she have gleaned about her brother and his pathologist? - @darnedchild
Can they be R rated. Because I feel Sherlock would not muck about, with telling Molly what he would like to do to her, he would not use cute little names for all her female parts and would go into great detail, like all his cases. She would be his very serious case. Yes he would most defiantly do a lot of research on pleasing her. Write it however you are most comfortable with. - @oliverfel4
Sherlock and Molly are getting married! It’s time to work on the guest list for the wedding, and suddenly they are faced with the question—Do they let Euros come, or not? - @celticmoonbeam
Shipwrecked Sherlolly—Sherlock saves Molly from drowning. - Anonymous
Euros leads Sherlock to believe that he failed, and Molly was killed after the ILY scene. Much angst ensues as he blames himself for her loss … but then we get to see the happy reunion scene when he learns she’s alive. - Anonymous
Moriarty trying to up Sherlock by sleeping with Molly, but the joke is on him, as Sherlock and Molly knew each other from secondary school/uni and were each other’s firsts. They can be regular (exclusive) lovers too. - @mychakk
Mary as matchmaker. At John and Mary’s wedding, Mary feels a little sad when they leave him alone to go dance (“What about you?”). She decides to make it her mission to help Sherlock find a girl so he’s not alone anymore. And this former agent has no trouble figuring out the potential between Sherlock and a certain Molly Hooper … (Up to you whether or not you want to throw in a Janine segue before she decides to set him up with Molly. And feel free to cover Sherlock being shot!) - @celticmoonbeam
Molly discovers she’s pregnant with Sherlock’s child at the worst possible time: while she’s with his parents, being hidden away, and the two are pretending to be just friends. Bonus if they figure it out before they’re told! - @penaltywaltz
After the events of TFP, Molly and Sherlock get closer. Suddenly, though, he pulls away and starts flirting with a coworker of hers, sometimes blatantly in front of her. It isn’t until an event at Barts that the truth comes out that it was all for a case. - @penaltywaltz
Molly finds out that as a child Sherlock liked the book “The Westing Game” and for one of his birthdays she arranges a vacation mimicking the plot of the book, even if none of them really fit the particular characters. - @penaltywaltz
Sherlock wants to make a gourmet meal for Molly for a special occasion, but he doesn’t seem to get it quite right. Fortunately, a friend/relative is willing to help. - @penaltywaltz
Sherlock moves in with Molly and begins perusing her book collection, picking up random books that have interesting looking covers, and the next thing Molly knows he’s turned into a fantasy buff. - @penaltywaltz *
Non-established Sherlolly. Sherlock gets a hold of Molly’s phone one afternoon and can’t resist snooping. He’s surprised to see a folder in her photo gallery marked “Special” and it’s all photos of him. - @penaltywaltz
Have you had sex? – After Euros asked that I somehow thought “Molly??” (as Sherlock says, Irene only texts him, he doesn’t reply). Later it seems that Euros is the only one who ever has noticed that Molly causes some emotions in him. So my theory is that something happened between Molly and Sherlock, it happened pretty recently, somehow (stressful night and they talked or they had some drinks and somehow one thing led to another) they ended up having sex; but Sherlock wasn’t good at dealing with it after or something urgent came along and he didn’t really consider Molly’s emotions, he ran off right after or in the morning, and that could be the reason why Molly didn’t pick up the phone first and was in a bad mood during the “ILY scene”. What happened between them recently is the reason why Molly is a bit rude to Sherlock when he calls, and the reason why she gets so emotional and raw so easily over the I Love You thing, and why she so easily tells him to say it first. Well, then when Sherlock says “I love you” he finally realizes fully that he really does love her too, and that he is capable of loving that way, and finally sees how easy it could be and what he could lose. Then after this whole thing he goes to talk to Molly and explain things to her. - @lullikiish
Complete me as a person. — Scene that popped into my mind. Irene has been texting Sherlock again, Sherlock in the end almost agrees to meet her for dinner, but as he’s walking out of his flat while Molly is there looking after Rosie he sees Molly in kind of slo-mo in the golden evening sun holding Rosie and being all sweet. Maybe already something a bit has happened before between them, some flirting, etc. The talk with John about a relationship completing him as a person is on the back of his mind. He walks out, but midway down the stairs while taking his phone out (symbolically in darkness compared to that evening sun) he realizes that he misses that warmth and Molly, and realizes that is what completes him. He takes out his phone and texts he’s not coming and then goes back upstairs. Sees Molly all adorable and confused/surprised in this beautiful light and maybe goes to kiss her, etc. - @lullikiish
A post TRF fic, where Sherlock takes Molly with him, but they return to London a couple years later than in canon because Molly got pregnant along the way (or even twice), so now they are three/four of them instead of two? - @mychakk
Victorian “Hooper”lock—Molly in disguise as “Hooper” the man, and they work together on a case and sparks fly. They flirt and all, and Sherlock can’t figure out right away that she’s a woman, and I think it might not even bother him that much. - @lullikiish
“We had chips. She liked me.” – Sherlock in TLD. What could have been had he and Molly gotten chips in TEH: A kick to Tom’s butt. Happy greeting (a hug at least!) at the end of TEH. Quite a lot of sex with Sherlock instead of Tom. Molly the best man’s date. A (sophisticated. Or not) Molly/Janine cat fight for Janine hitting on SH moments. Dancing, so much Sherlolly dancing (and no leaving early). Probably no Shezza (Shezzer?)—which, hmm, is a shame (But maybe they’ve their own not-being-on-a-sex-holiday-but-sexing-a-lot time). A real proposal to Molly. Molly at family Christmas, maybe even a Christmas wedding. Solving CAM without the threat of exile sharpens Sherlock’s deductive abilities. No Norbury as Molly’s already expecting their first offspring, so Sherlock doesn’t taunt needlessly. Mary as the Sherlolly baby godmother as she’s alive! Culverton Smith is taken down by the duo of Mary and Molly while the latter gives birth there (because the ladies are awesome, plus Mrs H tackles him down). John is so impressed he doesn’t look at any other women. Molly’s big heart brings Eurus from her metaphoric plane the moment she steps into 221B, plus baby Holmes wins her heart too. The Holmes family reconciliation and Eurus is in therapy instead of being a multi-killer. Baker Street Boys Team continues while Baker Street Girls Team gives them a run for their money. Mycroft asks Lady Smallwood out himself to her astonishment and internal squealing. Mummy Holmes gets more grandkids than she could’ve imagined. And basically, everyone walks happily into the sunset. The End. Please note, some things can obviously be modified. - @mychakk *
AU: Molly runs away from home when her parents try to arrange a marriage for her. She wants to pursue a life that involves science and marry for love if she ever gets married at all. She meets Sherlock, who is being pressured by his family to marry a nice girl they found for him who loves science as much as he does. It will be interesting when they figure it out. - @shadowyqueenbeard
AU. Instead of dying, Mary actually does hide from Sherlock and John effectively and they don’t find her. Still wracked by guilt and worried he’ll never see her again, John still imagines her in his mind and Sherlock still goes after Culverton Smith … possibly both to save John and because maybe Smith knows something about where Mary went? To solve the mystery and bring Mary home, Sherlock and Molly team up. - @rooneykmara
Crack!fic. Molly and Sherlock had a fake wedding for a case. However, when Molly applies for a marriage license to Tom, it turns out the wedding was actually real. She has to approach Sherlock for an annulment. It seems Sherlock deleted the event, because he doesn’t seem to remember it. Or does he? It seems he is too busy to sign the paperwork, he has misplaced it, always an excuse not to dissolve the marriage. Eventually he has to admit he really does want to be married to her. So Molly has to decide between two men. Which one does she choose? 😉 - @shadowyqueenbeard
Molly, unbeknownst to Sherlock, suffers from psoriasis since her teen years. This is why she’s been adamant about being more physically intimate with him, no matter how much she wants to. Fortunately for her, Sherlock doesn’t care about it at all. Could be a hard T or M rating. Loosely inspired by Loo’s own bout with the disease. - @violetjersey *
Fluff and maybe smut, or angst with a happy ending: Molly has a creepy feeling that she is being followed, and goes to Lestrade for help. He discovers that she has a security detail, curtesy of Sherlock. Molly is not pleased with this situation. Sherlock doesn’t understand why not, shouldn’t she be glad that he cares about her safety? After getting an earful from Molly, he cancels the security detail. Molly promptly leaves town without a word to anyone, leaving Sherlock to sweat. Is she okay? Most likely she is on a beach sipping Margaritas, but maybe she’s in trouble. He would like to make amends but first he as to find her. Should he try to locate her or leave her alone as requested? - @shadowyqueenbeard
I have read this in one or two fics, but not really developed as a main theme of the story … so: What if Rosie wants to pair John and Molly? How Sherlock will react and … how will he convince Rosie that Molly is for him and not for John. I’m imagining some angst in the middle because the silly man thinks this is a wonderful idea: Rosie gets a mummy and Molly gets a family. In fact, Sherlock sets up a date between Molly and John while he’s babysitting Rosie. - @kalkopyryt
Crack!Fic. Molly decides to try speed dating. The day she goes Sherlock is there, deducing everyone else to shreds. He tells Molly he is there purely by coincidence. He’s not trying to thwart her attempts at dating at all. Really! - @shadowyqueenbeard

List of Sherlolly Prompts as of 8/1/2017 - We’ve got a new one!
Here is a link to the very informal Sherlolly Prompt Fest FAQ
Below is the list of prompts submitted to @holidaysat221b. Where possible, we have tagged the submitter so that credit can be given if a prompt inspires someone to write a fic or create a piece of art.
Some submissions were specifically labeled as Art prompts, and they have been separated into their own category. However, if you are a fic writer and one of the art prompts calls to you, go for it. Likewise, if one of the other prompts makes you want to draw, have fun with it! Prompts that have been filled at least once will be followed with an *, in case that influences your decision to work with one.
We only ask three things:
1) If you use one of the prompts on this list, please remember to credit the prompt and prompter somewhere in your fic summary/art description or in your notes. It’s the polite thing to do.
2) Please submit an ask or message @holidaysat221b with a link to your work, the prompt you used, the prompter, and how you want to be identified (in cases where your Tumblr and fic/artist name are different). This will allow us to share your work with our followers and tag the prompter (if possible).
3) We have set up a Sherlolly Prompt Fest Collection on Ao3. If you are planning to post your fic or art on Ao3 and would like to add it to the collection, please do. As of this moment, the collection is open and unmoderated. Please remember to credit the prompt and prompter in your fic/art notes.
On to the Prompts as of August 1, 2017
Art
Art prompt: (I’ve wanted this like burning for five years, I’ll never give up asking) Sherlock and Molly, the cake scene from Sixteen Candles". Only in the morgue and Molly’s wearing the lab coat. - @sunken-standard *
Art prompt: Potter!lock. Don’t care if it’s student Sherlock and Molly in their house robes, teachers, wizarding professionals, a recreation of the Order of the Phoenix group photo with Sherlock characters instead. Whatever. Just as long as it’s Potter!lock. - @darnedchild
Art prompt: Molly and Sherlock’s first real date gets interrupted by a case. Are they dressed up for a fancy evening, or wearing something more suited to fish and chips and a walk around the park? - Anonymous
Crossovers/Works set in or inspired by another specific fictional universe (ie Potter!lock)
I’d really like to see a Daemon (from the His Dark Materials books by Philip Pullman) version of Series 3/TAB/Series 4 (any or all of those), especially when it comes to the ILY scene. - Kay
iZombie!Sherlock – Think of this, if Sherlock gets infected we have: 1) Sherlock with white hair 2) Sherlock getting brains from Molly “for experiments” 3) Sherlock getting different attitudes (hippie brain = hippie!Sherlock) 4) Paler than normal pale Sherlock 5) Sherlock with red bloodshot eyes. Also: If Molly Hooper gets infected, it’s like she’s the Liv Moore of Barts. Lestrade as Clive (and relieved to be not only depending on Sherlock to solve crimes). Sherlock deduces Molly’s hair color and tan (because Molly can’t show up to work with white hair, even whiter skin color, and very slow pulse rate). Major asshole Boss being the one shipping tainted Utopium to Britain. - The Silent Fangirl
Superwholock!Sherlolly - The Silent Fangirl
Doctor Who!Sherlock - Molly Hooper as a companion - The Silent Fangirl
Me Before You!Sherlock - The Silent Fangirl
Molly Hooper as “Mary Reilly”. - @darnedchild
Dracula!lock, but maybe mix it up just a little. Sherlock as the object of Dracula’s affections (Mina) and/or Molly as the vampire expert (Van Helsing)? - @darnedchild
Sherlock and Lady Molly of Scotland Yard. Molly Hooper as Lady Molly from “Lady Molly of Scotland Yard” with her crime solving partner Mary (Morstan). (Note from Mod - “Lady Molly of Scotland Yard” used to be available via BBC Radio 4 Extra on demand, you may still be able to find it online somewhere.) - @lullikiish
A Hades and Persephone AU with Molly as female Hades (the unrequited love at first, the proximity with death) and Sherlock as a male Persephone (the curiosity, the lack of eating). Irene would be a great Poseidon (the chaos provided by the ocean, the sailor knots). As for John, he would be a great Hermes! - Kay
Gimme “The Full Monty”, baby. Surely someone can find a reason to have Sherlock, John, and Greg get their kits off? Or Molly, Mary, and Sally? Mrs H could give professional pointers and tips to whomever you’re planning to get starkers. - Anonymous
A Sherlolly version of “It’s A Wonderful Life”. Sherlock gets to see what his loved ones’ lives would be like if he never existed, realizing the positive impact he had on them when he was alive. - @simplyshelbs16xoxo
Something similar to “The Ransom of Red Chief”, only in this version the kidnappers have figured out that Molly Hooper is a pressure point for Sherlock Holmes. They take her captive, intending to blackmail Sherlock or hold Molly for ransom; but Molly Hooper is having none of that nonsense. While Sherlock works to save her, Molly finds ways to torment, injure, and outwit her captors. Whether she escapes on her own, finds a way to let Sherlock and John know where she’s at, or ends up driving her kidnappers crazy to the point that they give up and send her back is up to the author. Could go humorous or dark very easily. - Anonymous
Clique/Sherlock Crossover - After the events of TFP, Molly Hooper (who is actually Jude McDermid) decides to go back to Edinburgh, broken-hearted & bound to continue the “family business” after years of running away from it. Gone is her long hair & colorful jumpers: she completely changed her look & have every information about Molly Hooper destroyed. Years passed, she forms the Solasta Women’s Initiative, much to her brother’s delight, until a horrific event brings Sherlock Holmes back into her world again. It’s more of a Sherlolly/Judelock mash-up where Sherlock wants to know why she left, who she really is, & how he’s still madly in love with her. Molly/Jude is more like she’s finally embracing the life she thought she never wanted, until she realizes that she can never forget the love she has for Sherlock. Can she be Jude & love him as well? Can Sherlock accept her true reality, or does he only love her as Molly & not Jude. Throw in a nice mystery/thriller plot too! Oh yeah Mycroft, who knew Molly is Jude from the beginning but decided to let Sherlock figure it out on his own, is determined to stop this union at all cost. Pls include all the girls & guys in Clique, especially Holly since she’s a badass off to take down Jude and her “girls” no matter what! It’s a crazy plot but if you’ve seen the 1st 2 episodes of Clique, it screams for a Sherlolly crossover fic! Thanks for reading this uber-long fic prompt! - @violetjersey
A reversed Potter!lolly with Sherlock being the Muggle-born, while Molly’s the pureblood witch (the likes of Luna Lovegood). Sherlolly, of course. - @mychakk
Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None” – because I always think of the movies when I see Mizjoely’s U.N. Owen tag. - @darnedchild
NEW - We know Molly can keep other people's secrets. Maybe Molly has a few secrets of her own, i.e. her very secret collection of FWBs. Because honestly, you think she would just sit alone in her home every night, year after year, quietly pining for a romantic relationship with Sherlock? And what a surprise when Sherlock and their friends find out...maybe at Sherlock and Molly's wedding? Crossover possibilities depend on FWBs selected...Q (James Bond), Loki (Avengers), Doctor Strange, etc. - @rubyred7531
Song fic/Inspired by lyrics
Song Fic: Adele’s “Water Under the Bridge” - @darnedchild *
Song Fic: … I would love something based on “Samson” by Regina Spektor please. - @chelle812
Song Fic: Katy Perry’s “Unconditionally” - @darnedchild
Song Fic: Texas’ “I’ll See It Through” - @darnedchild
Song Fic: … I’ve got a quote from a song. “You only know you love her when you let her go.” (Note from Mod - The song appears to be Passenger’s “Let Her Go”) - @flowerstar5 *
OT3/Sherlock, Molly, and ?
A case involving wine and stolen spatulas leads to Mycroft Holmes being attracted to Molly Hooper. Too bad Molly’s had enough of the Holmeses, and Sherlock mooning over her really isn’t helping. (Molly Hooper/Mycroft Holmes/Sherlock Holmes) - The Silent Fangirl
Molly wants to meet The Woman. Irene and Sherlock are still friends, and Molly is curious. Much to everyone’s surprise, Molly and Irene hit it off fairly quickly. (Sherlock Holmes/Molly Hooper/Irene Adler) - Anonymous
When Sherlock is injured and stuck in a cast up to his thigh, Mary and Molly find out JUST how grumpy he can get. They end up putting him by a window with binoculars, his pain medication, snacks, juice and his mobile. What happens next? (Molly Hooper/Sherlock Holmes/Mary (Morstan)Watson) - @penaltywaltz
Everything Else
Sherlock is undercover. He’s renting a small place and he’s trying to fit in with the extremely old fashioned community that is probably hiding a deadly smuggling ring or something equally bad. He ends up calling on Molly to come help. Since he’s already established as an unmarried man, his ‘sister’ (or other family member) arrives for a visit. Cue living in the same house while hot for each other type shenanigans while pretending to be siblings under the watchful eye of some suspicious townspeople. - Anonymous
Molly’s school reunion – Sherlock assumes he’ll be needed to help Molly show everyone up. The catch: Molly’s been a beloved peer, so it’s him who gets the obligatory “you hurt her, we’ll end you". :) - @mychakk
Sherlock sees a woman on the street. Instantly intrigued (you can choose as to why) he follows her. - @mel-loves-all
Molly loves wearing Sherlock’s house robes. - @mel-loves-all
Molly has a piece of body piercing jewelry or a tattoo located somewhere that surprises and titillates Sherlock. - @mel-loves-all *
Whenever Molly is close, Sherlock unconsciously always seems to need to touch her in some way after they start dating. He doesn’t notice it, but Molly does. - @mel-loves-all
A midnight dance. - @mel-loves-all
John tries to set up Sherlock with a girl. Unsurprisingly, there are a lot of contenders. And what does Molly have to say about that? - The Silent Fangirl
Through unexpected circumstances, Sherlock and Molly get engaged. It doesn’t end well. Crack!fic - The Silent Fangirl
Eurus Holmes ships the Sherlolly. So does John and Mycroft. Soon, everyone gets dragged into the Sherlolly craze. Crack!fic - The Silent Fangirl
Molly lives in the flat across from 221B. You know, the one that exploded? Yeah. But before that, there was a) looking at the hot naked guy in the window b) said hot naked guy crashing into her flat because he just wants to c) her traitorous cat crossing the street to hot naked guy’s flat. - The Silent Fangirl
Sherlock: A TV series featuring a hot guy with awesome deductive skills, his best friend the doctor, the exasperated detective inspector, the sweet landlady, and the pathologist. And no, the pathologist isn’t in love with the hot guy. - The Silent Fangirl
Molly stops being Sherlock’s pathologist, and starts being THE Pathologist. BAMF!Molly - The Silent Fangirl
This, Sherlock thinks through the haze of cocaine, truly is the worst form of torture. Mycroft and Molly’s wedding through Sherlock’s drug-addled POV. - The Silent Fangirl
Molly commits suicide, but only Sherlock thinks she didn’t. He may not be wrong. - The Silent Fangirl
When John Watson dies, Rosie is given into the care of her godparents. Problem is, they aren’t exactly on speaking terms. Bonus for Harry Watson appearance! - The Silent Fangirl
Molly nearly gets hit by a speeding car … until Sherlock pushes her out of the way and gets hit himself. H/C - The Silent Fangirl
Molly in labor. After watching Mary in labor in TST, I kinda wanna see a funny take on Molly giving birth to her and Sherlock’s child.

Culverton Smith is taken down by the duo of Mary and Molly while the latter gives birth there (because the ladies are awesome, plus Mrs H tackles him down). John is so impressed he doesn’t look at any other women. Molly’s big heart brings Eurus from her metaphoric plane the moment she steps into 221B, plus baby Holmes wins her heart too. The Holmes family reconciliation and Eurus is in therapy instead of being a multi-killer. Baker Street Boys Team continues while Baker Street Girls Team gives them a run for their money. Mycroft asks Lady Smallwood out himself to her astonishment and internal squealing. Mummy Holmes gets more grandkids than she could’ve imagined. And basically, everyone walks happily into the sunset. The End. Please note, some things can obviously be modified. - @mychakk *
AU: Molly runs away from home when her parents try to arrange a marriage for her. She wants to pursue a life that involves science and marry for love if she ever gets married at all. She meets Sherlock, who is being pressured by his family to marry a nice girl they found for him who loves science as much as he does. It will be interesting when they figure it out. - @shadowyqueenbeard
AU. Instead of dying, Mary actually does hide from Sherlock and John effectively and they don’t find her. Still wracked by guilt and worried he’ll never see her again, John still imagines her in his mind and Sherlock still goes after Culverton Smith … possibly both to save John and because maybe Smith knows something about where Mary went? To solve the mystery and bring Mary home, Sherlock and Molly team up. - @rooneykmara
Crack!fic. Molly and Sherlock had a fake wedding for a case. However, when Molly applies for a marriage license to Tom, it turns out the wedding was actually real. She has to approach Sherlock for an annulment. It seems Sherlock deleted the event, because he doesn’t seem to remember it. Or does he? It seems he is too busy to sign the paperwork, he has misplaced it, always an excuse not to dissolve the marriage. Eventually he has to admit he really does want to be married to her. So Molly has to decide between two men. Which one does she choose? 😉 - @shadowyqueenbeard
Molly, unbeknownst to Sherlock, suffers from psoriasis since her teen years. This is why she’s been adamant about being more physically intimate with him, no matter how much she wants to. Fortunately for her, Sherlock doesn’t care about it at all. Could be a hard T or M rating. Loosely inspired by Loo’s own bout with the disease. - @violetjersey *
Fluff and maybe smut, or angst with a happy ending: Molly has a creepy feeling that she is being followed, and goes to Lestrade for help. He discovers that she has a security detail, curtesy of Sherlock. Molly is not pleased with this situation. Sherlock doesn’t understand why not, shouldn’t she be glad that he cares about her safety? After getting an earful from Molly, he cancels the security detail. Molly promptly leaves town without a word to anyone, leaving Sherlock to sweat. Is she okay? Most likely she is on a beach sipping Margaritas, but maybe she’s in trouble. He would like to make amends but first he as to find her. Should he try to locate her or leave her alone as requested? - @shadowyqueenbeard
I have read this in one or two fics, but not really developed as a main theme of the story … so: What if Rosie wants to pair John and Molly? How Sherlock will react and … how will he convince Rosie that Molly is for him and not for John. I’m imagining some angst in the middle because the silly man thinks this is a wonderful idea: Rosie gets a mummy and Molly gets a family. In fact, Sherlock sets up a date between Molly and John while he’s babysitting Rosie. - @kalkopyryt

List of Sherlolly Prompts as of 8/9/2017 - We’ve got a new one!
Here is a link to the very informal Sherlolly Prompt Fest FAQ
Below is the list of prompts submitted to @holidaysat221b. Where possible, we have tagged the submitter so that credit can be given if a prompt inspires someone to write a fic or create a piece of art.
Some submissions were specifically labeled as Art prompts, and they have been separated into their own category. However, if you are a fic writer and one of the art prompts calls to you, go for it. Likewise, if one of the other prompts makes you want to draw, have fun with it! Prompts that have been filled at least once will be followed with an *, in case that influences your decision to work with one.
We only ask three things:
1) If you use one of the prompts on this list, please remember to credit the prompt and prompter somewhere in your fic summary/art description or in your notes. It’s the polite thing to do.
2) Please submit an ask or message @holidaysat221b with a link to your work, the prompt you used, the prompter, and how you want to be identified (in cases where your Tumblr and fic/artist name are different). This will allow us to share your work with our followers and tag the prompter (if possible).
3) We have set up a Sherlolly Prompt Fest Collection on Ao3. If you are planning to post your fic or art on Ao3 and would like to add it to the collection, please do. As of this moment, the collection is open and unmoderated. Please remember to credit the prompt and prompter in your fic/art notes.
On to the Prompts as of August 9, 2017
Art
Art prompt: (I’ve wanted this like burning for five years, I’ll never give up asking) Sherlock and Molly, the cake scene from Sixteen Candles". Only in the morgue and Molly’s wearing the lab coat. - @sunken-standard *
Art prompt: Potter!lock. Don’t care if it’s student Sherlock and Molly in their house robes, teachers, wizarding professionals, a recreation of the Order of the Phoenix group photo with Sherlock characters instead. Whatever. Just as long as it’s Potter!lock. - @darnedchild
Art prompt: Molly and Sherlock’s first real date gets interrupted by a case. Are they dressed up for a fancy evening, or wearing something more suited to fish and chips and a walk around the park? - Anonymous
Crossovers/Works set in or inspired by another specific fictional universe (ie Potter!lock)
I’d really like to see a Daemon (from the His Dark Materials books by Philip Pullman) version of Series 3/TAB/Series 4 (any or all of those), especially when it comes to the ILY scene. - Kay
iZombie!Sherlock – Think of this, if Sherlock gets infected we have: 1) Sherlock with white hair 2) Sherlock getting brains from Molly “for experiments” 3) Sherlock getting different attitudes (hippie brain = hippie!Sherlock) 4) Paler than normal pale Sherlock 5) Sherlock with red bloodshot eyes. Also: If Molly Hooper gets infected, it’s like she’s the Liv Moore of Barts. Lestrade as Clive (and relieved to be not only depending on Sherlock to solve crimes). Sherlock deduces Molly’s hair color and tan (because Molly can’t show up to work with white hair, even whiter skin color, and very slow pulse rate). Major asshole Boss being the one shipping tainted Utopium to Britain. - The Silent Fangirl
Superwholock!Sherlolly - The Silent Fangirl
Doctor Who!Sherlock - Molly Hooper as a companion - The Silent Fangirl
Me Before You!Sherlock - The Silent Fangirl
Molly Hooper as “Mary Reilly”. - @darnedchild
Dracula!lock, but maybe mix it up just a little. Sherlock as the object of Dracula’s affections (Mina) and/or Molly as the vampire expert (Van Helsing)? - @darnedchild
Sherlock and Lady Molly of Scotland Yard. Molly Hooper as Lady Molly from “Lady Molly of Scotland Yard” with her crime solving partner Mary (Morstan). (Note from Mod - “Lady Molly of Scotland Yard” used to be available via BBC Radio 4 Extra on demand, you may still be able to find it online somewhere.) - @lullikiish
A Hades and Persephone AU with Molly as female Hades (the unrequited love at first, the proximity with death) and Sherlock as a male Persephone (the curiosity, the lack of eating). Irene would be a great Poseidon (the chaos provided by the ocean, the sailor knots). As for John, he would be a great Hermes! - Kay
Gimme “The Full Monty”, baby. Surely someone can find a reason to have Sherlock, John, and Greg get their kits off? Or Molly, Mary, and Sally? Mrs H could give professional pointers and tips to whomever you’re planning to get starkers. - Anonymous
A Sherlolly version of “It’s A Wonderful Life”. Sherlock gets to see what his loved ones’ lives would be like if he never existed, realizing the positive impact he had on them when he was alive. - @simplyshelbs16xoxo
Something similar to “The Ransom of Red Chief”, only in this version the kidnappers have figured out that Molly Hooper is a pressure point for Sherlock Holmes. They take her captive, intending to blackmail Sherlock or hold Molly for ransom; but Molly Hooper is having none of that nonsense. While Sherlock works to save her, Molly finds ways to torment, injure, and outwit her captors. Whether she escapes on her own, finds a way to let Sherlock and John know where she’s at, or ends up driving her kidnappers crazy to the point that they give up and send her back is up to the author. Could go humorous or dark very easily. - Anonymous
Clique/Sherlock Crossover - After the events of TFP, Molly Hooper (who is actually Jude McDermid) decides to go back to Edinburgh, broken-hearted & bound to continue the “family business” after years of running away from it. Gone is her long hair & colorful jumpers: she completely changed her look & have every information about Molly Hooper destroyed. Years passed, she forms the Solasta Women’s Initiative, much to her brother’s delight, until a horrific event brings Sherlock Holmes back into her world again. It’s more of a Sherlolly/Judelock mash-up where Sherlock wants to know why she left, who she really is, & how he’s still madly in love with her. Molly/Jude is more like she’s finally embracing the life she thought she never wanted, until she realizes that she can never forget the love she has for Sherlock. Can she be Jude & love him as well? Can Sherlock accept her true reality, or does he only love her as Molly & not Jude. Throw in a nice mystery/thriller plot too! Oh yeah Mycroft, who knew Molly is Jude from the beginning but decided to let Sherlock figure it out on his own, is determined to stop this union at all cost. Pls include all the girls & guys in Clique, especially Holly since she’s a badass off to take down Jude and her “girls” no matter what! It’s a crazy plot but if you’ve seen the 1st 2 episodes of Clique, it screams for a Sherlolly crossover fic! Thanks for reading this uber-long fic prompt! - @violetjersey
A reversed Potter!lolly with Sherlock being the Muggle-born, while Molly’s the pureblood witch (the likes of Luna Lovegood). Sherlolly, of course. - @mychakk
Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None” – because I always think of the movies when I see Mizjoely’s U.N. Owen tag. - @darnedchild
We know Molly can keep other people's secrets. Maybe Molly has a few secrets of her own, i.e. her very secret collection of FWBs. Because honestly, you think she would just sit alone in her home every night, year after year, quietly pining for a romantic relationship with Sherlock? And what a surprise when Sherlock and their friends find out...maybe at Sherlock and Molly's wedding? Crossover possibilities depend on FWBs selected...Q (James Bond), Loki (Avengers), Doctor Strange, etc. - @rubyred7531
Song fic/Inspired by lyrics
Song Fic: Adele’s “Water Under the Bridge” - @darnedchild *
Song Fic: … I would love something based on “Samson” by Regina Spektor please. - @chelle812
Song Fic: Katy Perry’s “Unconditionally” - @darnedchild
Song Fic: Texas’ “I’ll See It Through” - @darnedchild
Song Fic: … I’ve got a quote from a song. “You only know you love her when you let her go.” (Note from Mod - The song appears to be Passenger’s “Let Her Go”) - @flowerstar5 *
OT3/Sherlock, Molly, and ?
A case involving wine and stolen spatulas leads to Mycroft Holmes being attracted to Molly Hooper. Too bad Molly’s had enough of the Holmeses, and Sherlock mooning over her really isn’t helping. (Molly Hooper/Mycroft Holmes/Sherlock Holmes) - The Silent Fangirl
Molly wants to meet The Woman. Irene and Sherlock are still friends, and Molly is curious. Much to everyone’s surprise, Molly and Irene hit it off fairly quickly. (Sherlock Holmes/Molly Hooper/Irene Adler) - Anonymous
When Sherlock is injured and stuck in a cast up to his thigh, Mary and Molly find out JUST how grumpy he can get. They end up putting him by a window with binoculars, his pain medication, snacks, juice and his mobile. What happens next? (Molly Hooper/Sherlock Holmes/Mary (Morstan)Watson) - @penaltywaltz
Everything Else
Sherlock is undercover. He’s renting a small place and he’s trying to fit in with the extremely old fashioned community that is probably hiding a deadly smuggling ring or something equally bad. He ends up calling on Molly to come help. Since he’s already established as an unmarried man, his ‘sister’ (or other family member) arrives for a visit. Cue living in the same house while hot for each other type shenanigans while pretending to be siblings under the watchful eye of some suspicious townspeople. - Anonymous
Molly’s school reunion – Sherlock assumes he’ll be needed to help Molly show everyone up. The catch: Molly’s been a beloved peer, so it’s him who gets the obligatory “you hurt her, we’ll end you". :) - @mychakk
Sherlock sees a woman on the street. Instantly intrigued (you can choose as to why) he follows her. - @mel-loves-all
Molly loves wearing Sherlock’s house robes. - @mel-loves-all
Molly has a piece of body piercing jewelry or a tattoo located somewhere that surprises and titillates Sherlock. - @mel-loves-all *
Whenever Molly is close, Sherlock unconsciously always seems to need to touch her in some way after they start dating. He doesn’t notice it, but Molly does. - @mel-loves-all
A midnight dance. - @mel-loves-all
John tries to set up Sherlock with a girl. Unsurprisingly, there are a lot of contenders. And what does Molly have to say about that? - The Silent Fangirl
Through unexpected circumstances, Sherlock and Molly get engaged. It doesn’t end well. Crack!fic - The Silent Fangirl
Eurus Holmes ships the Sherlolly. So does John and Mycroft. Soon, everyone gets dragged into the Sherlolly craze. Crack!fic - The Silent Fangirl
Molly lives in the flat across from 221B. You know, the one that exploded? Yeah. But before that, there was a) looking at the hot naked guy in the window b) said hot naked guy crashing into her flat because he just wants to c) her traitorous cat crossing the street to hot naked guy’s flat. - The Silent Fangirl
Sherlock: A TV series featuring a hot guy with awesome deductive skills, his best friend the doctor, the exasperated detective inspector, the sweet landlady, and the pathologist. And no, the pathologist isn’t in love with the hot guy. - The Silent Fangirl
Molly stops being Sherlock’s pathologist, and starts being THE Pathologist. BAMF!Molly - The Silent Fangirl
This, Sherlock thinks through the haze of cocaine, truly is the worst form of torture. Mycroft and Molly’s wedding through Sherlock’s drug-addled POV. - The Silent Fangirl
Molly commits suicide, but only Sherlock thinks she didn’t. He may not be wrong. - The Silent Fangirl
When John Watson dies, Rosie is given into the care of her godparents. Problem is, they aren’t exactly on speaking terms. Bonus for Harry Watson appearance! - The Silent Fangirl
Molly nearly gets hit by a speeding car … until Sherlock pushes her out of the way and gets hit himself. H/C - The Silent Fangirl
Molly in labor. After watching Mary in labor in TST, I kinda wanna see a funny take on Molly giving birth to her and Sherlock’s child. Maybe something like Molly being in pain, she wishes out loud she’d never had sex with Sherlock, while Sherlock logically points out how well they emotionally and biologically fit together. - Anonymous
Fluff. Molly has been hospitalized for whatever reason. She decides that she is feeling better and just wants to go home. However, the hospital does not want to release her yet. So Molly decides to leave AMA (against medical advice). She feels she can recover at home just as well and also she is eager to get back to work. Besides, who is going to know? This is something someone might expect from Sherlock, but not Molly. How long before he finds out? What is his reaction? - @shadowyqueenbeard
Angst. Molly discovers she is pregnant and is not happy about it. Although she would love to have a baby at some point, right now is not the time. She and Sherlock do not have a commitment and her career is going well. She plans to terminate the pregnancy. Sherlock finds out and tries to stop her. He please with her to change her mind, marry him and be a family. Is this just a control tactic or does he really love her? - @shadowyqueenbeard *
Molly discovers there is Sherlock Holmes RPF (Real Person Fiction) on the internet. She’s shocked to find that someone called Sherlolly4vr74 has been writing fic about her and Sherlock, and they seem to have a dedicated fan base. Some of the stories are very sweet and romantic, some of them are hot enough to give her NSFW ideas. Who is Sherlolly4vr74 (Is it Anderson? Mrs Hudson? Mary? John? I bet it’s John.) and is Sherlock aware of the stories? - @darnedchild
Eurus has been known to put on a persona and disguise to get close to people for information – she was Faith for Sherlock, E and the psychiatrist for John. What if she had also spent some time around Molly prior to the events at Sherrinford? What information would she have gleaned about her brother and his pathologist? - @darnedchild
Can they be R rated. Because I feel Sherlock would not muck about, with telling Molly what he would like to do to her, he would not use cute little names for all her female parts and would go into great detail, like all his cases. She would be his very serious case. Yes he would most defiantly do a lot of research on pleasing her. Write it however you are most comfortable with. - @oliverfel4
Sherlock and Molly are getting married! It’s time to work on the guest list for the wedding, and suddenly they are faced with the question—Do they let Euros come, or not? - @celticmoonbeam
Shipwrecked Sherlolly—Sherlock saves Molly from drowning. - Anonymous
Euros leads Sherlock to believe that he failed, and Molly was killed after the ILY scene. Much angst ensues as he blames himself for her loss … but then we get to see the happy reunion scene when he learns she’s alive. - Anonymous
Moriarty trying to up Sherlock by sleeping with Molly, but the joke is on him, as Sherlock and Molly knew each other from secondary school/uni and were each other’s firsts. They can be regular (exclusive) lovers too. - @mychakk
Mary as matchmaker. At John and Mary’s wedding, Mary feels a little sad when they leave him alone to go dance (“What about you?”). She decides to make it her mission to help Sherlock find a girl so he’s not alone anymore. And this former agent has no trouble figuring out the potential between Sherlock and a certain Molly Hooper … (Up to you whether or not you want to throw in a Janine segue before she decides to set him up with Molly. And feel free to cover Sherlock being shot!) - @celticmoonbeam
Molly discovers she’s pregnant with Sherlock’s child at the worst possible time: while she’s with his parents, being hidden away, and the two are pretending to be just friends. Bonus if they figure it out before they’re told! - @penaltywaltz
After the events of TFP, Molly and Sherlock get closer. Suddenly, though, he pulls away and starts flirting with a coworker of hers, sometimes blatantly in front of her. It isn’t until an event at Barts that the truth comes out that it was all for a case. - @penaltywaltz
Molly finds out that as a child Sherlock liked the book “The Westing Game” and for one of his birthdays she arranges a vacation mimicking the plot of the book, even if none of them really fit the particular characters. - @penaltywaltz
Sherlock wants to make a gourmet meal for Molly for a special occasion, but he doesn’t seem to get it quite right. Fortunately, a friend/relative is willing to help. - @penaltywaltz
Sherlock moves in with Molly and begins perusing her book collection, picking up random books that have interesting looking covers, and the next thing Molly knows he’s turned into a fantasy buff. - @penaltywaltz *
Non-established Sherlolly. Sherlock gets a hold of Molly’s phone one afternoon and can’t resist snooping. He’s surprised to see a folder in her photo gallery marked “Special” and it’s all photos of him. - @penaltywaltz
Have you had sex? – After Euros asked that I somehow thought “Molly??” (as Sherlock says, Irene only texts him, he doesn’t reply). Later it seems that Euros is the only one who ever has noticed that Molly causes some emotions in him. So my theory is that something happened between Molly and Sherlock, it happened pretty recently, somehow (stressful night and they talked or they had some drinks and somehow one thing led to another) they ended up having sex; but Sherlock wasn’t good at dealing with it after or something urgent came along and he didn’t really consider Molly’s emotions, he ran off right after or in the morning, and that could be the reason why Molly didn’t pick up the phone first and was in a bad mood during the “ILY scene”. What happened between them recently is the reason why Molly is a bit rude to Sherlock when he calls, and the reason why she gets so emotional and raw so easily over the I Love You thing, and why she so easily tells him to say it first. Well, then when Sherlock says “I love you” he finally realizes fully that he really does love her too, and that he is capable of loving that way, and finally sees how easy it could be and what he could lose. Then after this whole thing he goes to talk to Molly and explain things to her. - @lullikiish
Complete me as a person. — Scene that popped into my mind. Irene has been texting Sherlock again, Sherlock in the end almost agrees to meet her for dinner, but as he’s walking out of his flat while Molly is there looking after Rosie he sees Molly in kind of slo-mo in the golden evening sun holding Rosie and being all sweet. Maybe already something a bit has happened before between them, some flirting, etc. The talk with John about a relationship completing him as a person is on the back of his mind. He walks out, but midway down the stairs while taking his phone out (symbolically in darkness compared to that evening sun) he realizes that he misses that warmth and Molly, and realizes that is what completes him. He takes out his phone and texts he’s not coming and then goes back upstairs. Sees Molly all adorable and confused/surprised in this beautiful light and maybe goes to kiss her, etc. - @lullikiish
A post TRF fic, where Sherlock takes Molly with him, but they return to London a couple years later than in canon because Molly got pregnant along the way (or even twice), so now they are three/four of them instead of two? - @mychakk
Victorian “Hooper”lock—Molly in disguise as “Hooper” the man, and they work together on a case and sparks fly. They flirt and all, and Sherlock can’t figure out right away that she’s a woman, and I think it might not even bother him that much. - @lullikiish
“We had chips. She liked me.” – Sherlock in TLD. What could have been had he and Molly gotten chips in TEH: A kick to Tom’s butt. Happy greeting (a hug at least!) at the end of TEH. Quite a lot of sex with Sherlock instead of Tom. Molly the best man’s date. A (sophisticated. Or not) Molly/Janine cat fight for Janine hitting on SH moments. Dancing, so much Sherlolly dancing (and no leaving early). Probably no Shezza (Shezzer?)—which, hmm, is a shame (But maybe they’ve their own not-being-on-a-sex-holiday-but-sexing-a-lot time). A real proposal to Molly. Molly at family Christmas, maybe even a Christmas wedding. Solving CAM without the threat of exile sharpens Sherlock’s deductive abilities. No Norbury as Molly’s already expecting their first offspring, so Sherlock doesn’t taunt needlessly. Mary as the Sherlolly baby godmother as she’s alive! Culverton Smith is taken down by the duo of Mary and Molly while the latter gives birth there (because the ladies are awesome, plus Mrs H tackles him down). John is so impressed he doesn’t look at any other women. Molly’s big heart brings Eurus from her metaphoric plane the moment she steps into 221B, plus baby Holmes wins her heart too. The Holmes family reconciliation and Eurus is in therapy instead of being a multi-killer. Baker Street Boys Team continues while Baker Street Girls Team gives them a run for their money. Mycroft asks Lady Smallwood out himself to her astonishment and internal squealing. Mummy Holmes gets more grandkids than she could’ve imagined. And basically, everyone walks happily into the sunset. The End. Please note, some things can obviously be modified. - @mychakk *
AU: Molly runs away from home when her parents try to arrange a marriage for her. She wants to pursue a life that involves science and marry for love if she ever gets married at all. She meets Sherlock, who is being pressured by his family to marry a nice girl they found for him who loves science as much as he does.

NEW - Crack!Fic. Molly decides to try speed dating. The day she goes Sherlock is there, deducing everyone else to shreds. He tells Molly he is there purely by coincidence. He’s not trying to thwart her attempts at dating at all. Really! - @shadowyqueenbeard

List of Sherlolly Prompts as of 7/19/2017
Here is a link to the very informal Sherlolly Prompt Fest FAQ

They take her captive, intending to blackmail Sherlock or hold Molly for ransom; but Molly Hooper is having none of that nonsense. While Sherlock works to save her, Molly finds ways to torment, injure, and outwit her captors. Whether she escapes on her own, finds a way to let Sherlock and John know where she’s at, or ends up driving her kidnappers crazy to the point that they give up and send her back is up to the author. Could go humorous or dark very easily. - Anonymous
Clique/Sherlock Crossover - After the events of TFP, Molly Hooper (who is actually Jude McDermid) decides to go back to Edinburgh, broken-hearted & bound to continue the “family business” after years of running away from it. Gone is her long hair & colorful jumpers: she completely changed her look & have every information about Molly Hooper destroyed. Years passed, she forms the Solasta Women’s Initiative, much to her brother’s delight, until a horrific event brings Sherlock Holmes back into her world again. It’s more of a Sherlolly/Judelock mash-up where Sherlock wants to know why she left, who she really is, & how he’s still madly in love with her. Molly/Jude is more like she’s finally embracing the life she thought she never wanted, until she realizes that she can never forget the love she has for Sherlock. Can she be Jude & love him as well? Can Sherlock accept her true reality, or does he only love her as Molly & not Jude. Throw in a nice mystery/thriller plot too! Oh yeah Mycroft, who knew Molly is Jude from the beginning but decided to let Sherlock figure it out on his own, is determined to stop this union at all cost. Pls include all the girls & guys in Clique, especially Holly since she’s a badass off to take down Jude and her “girls” no matter what! It’s a crazy plot but if you’ve seen the 1st 2 episodes of Clique, it screams for a Sherlolly crossover fic! Thanks for reading this uber-long fic prompt! - @violetjersey
A reversed Potter!lolly with Sherlock being the Muggle-born, while Molly’s the pureblood witch (the likes of Luna Lovegood). Sherlolly, of course. - @mychakk

OT3/Sherlock, Molly, and ?
A case involving wine and stolen spatulas leads to Mycroft Holmes being attracted to Molly Hooper. Too bad Molly’s had enough of the Holmeses, and Sherlock mooning over her really isn’t helping. (Molly Hooper/Mycroft Holmes/Sherlock Holmes) - The Silent Fangirl

They end up putting him by a window with binoculars, his pain medication, snacks, juice and his mobile. What happens next? (Molly Hooper/Sherlock Holmes/Mary (Morstan)Watson) - @penaltywaltz
Everything Else
Sherlock is undercover. He’s renting a small place and he’s trying to fit in with the extremely old fashioned community that is probably hiding a deadly smuggling ring or something equally bad. He ends up calling on Molly to come help. Since he’s already established as an unmarried man, his ‘sister’ (or other family member) arrives for a visit. Cue living in the same house while hot for each other type shenanigans while pretending to be siblings under the watchful eye of some suspicious townspeople. - Anonymous
Molly’s school reunion – Sherlock assumes he’ll be needed to help Molly show everyone up. The catch: Molly’s been a beloved peer, so it’s him who gets the obligatory “you hurt her, we’ll end you". :) - @mychakk
Sherlock sees a woman on the street. Instantly intrigued (you can choose as to why) he follows her. - @mel-loves-all
Molly loves wearing Sherlock’s house robes. - @mel-loves-all
Molly has a piece of body piercing jewelry or a tattoo located somewhere that surprises and titillates Sherlock. - @mel-loves-all *
Whenever Molly is close, Sherlock unconsciously always seems to need to touch her in some way after they start dating. He doesn’t notice it, but Molly does. - @mel-loves-all
A midnight dance. - @mel-loves-all
John tries to set up Sherlock with a girl. Unsurprisingly, there are a lot of contenders. And what does Molly have to say about that? - The Silent Fangirl
Through unexpected circumstances, Sherlock and Molly get engaged. It doesn’t end well. Crack!fic - The Silent Fangirl
Eurus Holmes ships the Sherlolly. So does John and Mycroft. Soon, everyone gets dragged into the Sherlolly craze. Crack!fic - The Silent Fangirl
Molly lives in the flat across from 221B. You know, the one that exploded? Yeah. But before that, there was a) looking at the hot naked guy in the window b) said hot naked guy crashing into her flat because he just wants to c) her traitorous cat crossing the street to hot naked guy’s flat. - The Silent Fangirl
Sherlock: A TV series featuring a hot guy with awesome deductive skills, his best friend the doctor, the exasperated detective inspector, the sweet landlady, and the pathologist. And no, the pathologist isn’t in love with the hot guy. - The Silent Fangirl
Molly stops being Sherlock’s pathologist, and starts being THE Pathologist. BAMF!Molly - The Silent Fangirl
This, Sherlock thinks through the haze of cocaine, truly is the worst form of torture. Mycroft and Molly’s wedding through Sherlock’s drug-addled POV. - The Silent Fangirl
Molly commits suicide, but only Sherlock thinks she didn’t. He may not be wrong. - The Silent Fangirl
When John Watson dies, Rosie is given into the care of her godparents. Problem is, they aren’t exactly on speaking terms. Bonus for Harry Watson appearance! - The Silent Fangirl
Molly nearly gets hit by a speeding car … until Sherlock pushes her out of the way and gets hit himself. H/C - The Silent Fangirl
Molly in labor. After watching Mary in labor in TST, I kinda wanna see a funny take on Molly giving birth to her and Sherlock’s child. Maybe something like Molly being in pain, she wishes out loud she’d never had sex with Sherlock, while Sherlock logically points out how well they emotionally and biologically fit together. - Anonymous
Fluff. Molly has been hospitalized for whatever reason. She decides that she is feeling better and just wants to go home. However, the hospital does not want to release her yet. So Molly decides to leave AMA (against medical advice). She feels she can recover at home just as well and also she is eager to get back to work. Besides, who is going to know? This is something someone might expect from Sherlock, but not Molly. How long before he finds out? What is his reaction? - @shadowyqueenbeard
Angst. Molly discovers she is pregnant and is not happy about it. Although she would love to have a baby at some point, right now is not the time. She and Sherlock do not have a commitment and her career is going well. She plans to terminate the pregnancy. Sherlock finds out and tries to stop her. He please with her to change her mind, marry him and be a family. Is this just a control tactic or does he really love her? - @shadowyqueenbeard *
Molly discovers there is Sherlock Holmes RPF (Real Person Fiction) on the internet. She’s shocked to find that someone called Sherlolly4vr74 has been writing fic about her and Sherlock, and they seem to have a dedicated fan base. Some of the stories are very sweet and romantic, some of them are hot enough to give her NSFW ideas. Who is Sherlolly4vr74 (Is it Anderson? Mrs Hudson? Mary? John? I bet it’s John.) and is Sherlock aware of the stories? - @darnedchild
Eurus has been known to put on a persona and disguise to get close to people for information – she was Faith for Sherlock, E and the psychiatrist for John. What if she had also spent some time around Molly prior to the events at Sherrinford? What information would she have gleaned about her brother and his pathologist? - @darnedchild
Can they be R rated. Because I feel Sherlock would not muck about, with telling Molly what he would like to do to her, he would not use cute little names for all her female parts and would go into great detail, like all his cases. She would be his very serious case. Yes he would most defiantly do a lot of research on pleasing her. Write it however you are most comfortable with. - @oliverfel4
Sherlock and Molly are getting married! It’s time to work on the guest list for the wedding, and suddenly they are faced with the question—Do they let Euros come, or not? - @celticmoonbeam
Shipwrecked Sherlolly—Sherlock saves Molly from drowning. - Anonymous
Euros leads Sherlock to believe that he failed, and Molly was killed after the ILY scene. Much angst ensues as he blames himself for her loss … but then we get to see the happy reunion scene when he learns she’s alive. - Anonymous
Moriarty trying to up Sherlock by sleeping with Molly, but the joke is on him, as Sherlock and Molly knew each other from secondary school/uni and were each other’s firsts. They can be regular (exclusive) lovers too. - @mychakk
Mary as matchmaker. At John and Mary’s wedding, Mary feels a little sad when they leave him alone to go dance (“What about you?”). She decides to make it her mission to help Sherlock find a girl so he’s not alone anymore. And this former agent has no trouble figuring out the potential between Sherlock and a certain Molly Hooper … (Up to you whether or not you want to throw in a Janine segue before she decides to set him up with Molly. And feel free to cover Sherlock being shot!) - @celticmoonbeam
Molly discovers she’s pregnant with Sherlock’s child at the worst possible time: while she’s with his parents, being hidden away, and the two are pretending to be just friends. Bonus if they figure it out before they’re told! - @penaltywaltz
After the events of TFP, Molly and Sherlock get closer. Suddenly, though, he pulls away and starts flirting with a coworker of hers, sometimes blatantly in front of her. It isn’t until an event at Barts that the truth comes out that it was all for a case. - @penaltywaltz
Molly finds out that as a child Sherlock liked the book “The Westing Game” and for one of his birthdays she arranges a vacation mimicking the plot of the book, even if none of them really fit the particular characters. - @penaltywaltz
Sherlock wants to make a gourmet meal for Molly for a special occasion, but he doesn’t seem to get it quite right. Fortunately, a friend/relative is willing to help. - @penaltywaltz
Sherlock moves in with Molly and begins perusing her book collection, picking up random books that have interesting looking covers, and the next thing Molly knows he’s turned into a fantasy buff. - @penaltywaltz *
Non-established Sherlolly. Sherlock gets a hold of Molly’s phone one afternoon and can’t resist snooping. He’s surprised to see a folder in her photo gallery marked “Special” and it’s all photos of him. - @penaltywaltz
Have you had sex? – After Euros asked that I somehow thought “Molly??” (as Sherlock says, Irene only texts him, he doesn’t reply). Later it seems that Euros is the only one who ever has noticed that Molly causes some emotions in him. So my theory is that something happened between Molly and Sherlock, it happened pretty recently, somehow (stressful night and they talked or they had some drinks and somehow one thing led to another) they ended up having sex; but Sherlock wasn’t good at dealing with it after or something urgent came along and he didn’t really consider Molly’s emotions, he ran off right after or in the morning, and that could be the reason why Molly didn’t pick up the phone first and was in a bad mood during the “ILY scene”. What happened between them recently is the reason why Molly is a bit rude to Sherlock when he calls, and the reason why she gets so emotional and raw so easily over the I Love You thing, and why she so easily tells him to say it first. Well, then when Sherlock says “I love you” he finally realizes fully that he really does love her too, and that he is capable of loving that way, and finally sees how easy it could be and what he could lose. Then after this whole thing he goes to talk to Molly and explain things to her. - @lullikiish
Complete me as a person. — Scene that popped into my mind. Irene has been texting Sherlock again, Sherlock in the end almost agrees to meet her for dinner, but as he’s walking out of his flat while Molly is there looking after Rosie he sees Molly in kind of slo-mo in the golden evening sun holding Rosie and being all sweet. Maybe already something a bit has happened before between them, some flirting, etc. The talk with John about a relationship completing him as a person is on the back of his mind. He walks out, but midway down the stairs while taking his phone out (symbolically in darkness compared to that evening sun) he realizes that he misses that warmth and Molly, and realizes that is what completes him. He takes out his phone and texts he’s not coming and then goes back upstairs. Sees Molly all adorable and confused/surprised in this beautiful light and maybe goes to kiss her, etc. - @lullikiish
A post TRF fic, where Sherlock takes Molly with him, but they return to London a couple years later than in canon because Molly got pregnant along the way (or even twice), so now they are three/four of them instead of two? - @mychakk
Victorian “Hooper”lock—Molly in disguise as “Hooper” the man, and they work together on a case and sparks fly. They flirt and all, and Sherlock can’t figure out right away that she’s a woman, and I think it might not even bother him that much. - @lullikiish
“We had chips. She liked me.” – Sherlock in TLD. What could have been had he and Molly gotten chips in TEH: A kick to Tom’s butt. Happy greeting (a hug at least!) at the end of TEH. Quite a lot of sex with Sherlock instead of Tom. Molly the best man’s date. A (sophisticated. Or not) Molly/Janine cat fight for Janine hitting on SH moments. Dancing, so much Sherlolly dancing (and no leaving early). Probably no Shezza (Shezzer?)—which, hmm, is a shame (But maybe they’ve their own not-being-on-a-sex-holiday-but-sexing-a-lot time). A real proposal to Molly. Molly at family Christmas, maybe even a Christmas wedding. Solving CAM without the threat of exile sharpens Sherlock’s deductive abilities. No Norbury as Molly’s already expecting their first offspring, so Sherlock doesn’t taunt needlessly. Mary as the Sherlolly baby godmother as she’s alive! Culverton Smith is taken down by the duo of Mary and Molly while the latter gives birth there (because the ladies are awesome, plus Mrs H tackles him down). John is so impressed he doesn’t look at any other women. Molly’s big heart brings Eurus from her metaphoric plane the moment she steps into 221B, plus baby Holmes wins her heart too. The Holmes family reconciliation and Eurus is in therapy instead of being a multi-killer. Baker Street Boys Team continues while Baker Street Girls Team gives them a run for their money. Mycroft asks Lady Smallwood out himself to her astonishment and internal squealing. Mummy Holmes gets more grandkids than she could’ve imagined. And basically, everyone walks happily into the sunset. The End. Please note, some things can obviously be modified. - @mychakk *
AU: Molly runs away from home when her parents try to arrange a marriage for her. She wants to pursue a life that involves science and marry for love if she ever gets married at all. She meets Sherlock, who is being pressured by his family to marry a nice girl they found for him who loves science as much as he does. It will be interesting when they figure it out. - @shadowyqueenbeard
AU. Instead of dying, Mary actually does hide from Sherlock and John effectively and they don’t find her. Still wracked by guilt and worried he’ll never see her again, John still imagines her in his mind and Sherlock still goes after Culverton Smith … possibly both to save John and because maybe Smith knows something about where Mary went? To solve the mystery and bring Mary home, Sherlock and Molly team up. - @rooneykmara
Crack!fic. Molly and Sherlock had a fake wedding for a case. However, when Molly applies for a marriage license to Tom, it turns out the wedding was actually real. She has to approach Sherlock for an annulment. It seems Sherlock deleted the event, because he doesn’t seem to remember it. Or does he? It seems he is too busy to sign the paperwork, he has misplaced it, always an excuse not to dissolve the marriage. Eventually he has to admit he really does want to be married to her. So Molly has to decide between two men. Which one does she choose? 😉 - @shadowyqueenbeard
Molly, unbeknownst to Sherlock, suffers from psoriasis since her teen years. This is why she’s been adamant about being more physically intimate with him, no matter how much she wants to. Fortunately for her, Sherlock doesn’t care about it at all. Could be a hard T or M rating. Loosely inspired by Loo’s own bout with the disease. - @violetjersey *
Fluff and maybe smut, or angst with a happy ending: Molly has a creepy feeling that she is being followed, and goes to Lestrade for help. He discovers that she has a security detail, curtesy of Sherlock. Molly is not pleased with this situation. Sherlock doesn’t understand why not, shouldn’t she be glad that he cares about her safety? After getting an earful from Molly, he cancels the security detail. Molly promptly leaves town without a word to anyone, leaving Sherlock to sweat. Is she okay? Most likely she is on a beach sipping Margaritas, but maybe she’s in trouble. He would like to make amends but first he as to find her. Should he try to locate her or leave her alone as requested? - @shadowyqueenbeard

List of Sherlolly Prompts as of 6/7/2017
Here is a link to the very informal Sherlolly Prompt Fest FAQ
Below is the list of prompts submitted to @holidaysat221b. Where possible, we have tagged the submitter so that credit can be given if a prompt inspires someone to write a fic or create a piece of art.
Some submissions were specifically labeled as Art prompts, and they have been separated into their own category. However, if you are a fic writer and one of the art prompts calls to you, go for it. Likewise, if one of the other prompts makes you want to draw, have fun with it! Prompts that have been filled at least once will be followed with an *, in case that influences your decision to work with one.
We only ask three things:
1) If you use one of the prompts on this list, please remember to credit the prompt and prompter somewhere in your fic summary/art description or in your notes. It’s the polite thing to do.
2) Please submit an ask or message @holidaysat221b with a link to your work, the prompt you used, the prompter, and how you want to be identified (in cases where your Tumblr and fic/artist name are different). This will allow us to share your work with our followers and tag the prompter (if possible).
3) We have set up a Sherlolly Prompt Fest Collection on Ao3. If you are planning to post your fic or art on Ao3 and would like to add it to the collection, please do. As of this moment, the collection is open and unmoderated. Please remember to credit the prompt and prompter in your fic/art notes.
On to the Prompts as of June 7, 2017
Art
Art prompt: (I’ve wanted this like burning for five years, I’ll never give up asking) Sherlock and Molly, the cake scene from Sixteen Candles". Only in the morgue and Molly’s wearing the lab coat. - @sunken-standard *
Art prompt: Potter!lock. Don’t care if it’s student Sherlock and Molly in their house robes, teachers, wizarding professionals, a recreation of the Order of the Phoenix group photo with Sherlock characters instead. Whatever. Just as long as it’s Potter!lock. - @darnedchild
Art prompt: Molly and Sherlock’s first real date gets interrupted by a case. Are they dressed up for a fancy evening, or wearing something more suited to fish and chips and a walk around the park? - Anonymous
Crossovers/Works set in or inspired by another specific fictional universe (ie Potter!lock)
I’d really like to see a Daemon (from the His Dark Materials books by Philip Pullman) version of Series 3/TAB/Series 4 (any or all of those), especially when it comes to the ILY scene. - Kay
iZombie!Sherlock – Think of this, if Sherlock gets infected we have: 1) Sherlock with white hair 2) Sherlock getting brains from Molly “for experiments” 3) Sherlock getting different attitudes (hippie brain = hippie!Sherlock) 4) Paler than normal pale Sherlock 5) Sherlock with red bloodshot eyes. Also: If Molly Hooper gets infected, it’s like she’s the Liv Moore of Barts. Lestrade as Clive (and relieved to be not only depending on Sherlock to solve crimes). Sherlock deduces Molly’s hair color and tan (because Molly can’t show up to work with white hair, even whiter skin color, and very slow pulse rate). Major asshole Boss being the one shipping tainted Utopium to Britain. - The Silent Fangirl
Superwholock!Sherlolly - The Silent Fangirl
Doctor Who!Sherlock - Molly Hooper as a companion - The Silent Fangirl
Me Before You!Sherlock - The Silent Fangirl
Molly Hooper as “Mary Reilly”. - @darnedchild
Dracula!lock, but maybe mix it up just a little. Sherlock as the object of Dracula’s affections (Mina) and/or Molly as the vampire expert (Van Helsing)? - @darnedchild
Sherlock and Lady Molly of Scotland Yard. Molly Hooper as Lady Molly from “Lady Molly of Scotland Yard” with her crime solving partner Mary (Morstan). (Note from Mod - “Lady Molly of Scotland Yard” used to be available via BBC Radio 4 Extra on demand, you may still be able to find it online somewhere.) - @lullikiish
A Hades and Persephone AU with Molly as female Hades (the unrequited love at first, the proximity with death) and Sherlock as a male Persephone (the curiosity, the lack of eating). Irene would be a great Poseidon (the chaos provided by the ocean, the sailor knots). As for John, he would be a great Hermes! - Kay
Gimme “The Full Monty”, baby. Surely someone can find a reason to have Sherlock, John, and Greg get their kits off? Or Molly, Mary, and Sally? Mrs H could give professional pointers and tips to whomever you’re planning to get starkers. - Anonymous
A Sherlolly version of “It’s A Wonderful Life”. Sherlock gets to see what his loved ones’ lives would be like if he never existed, realizing the positive impact he had on them when he was alive. - @simplyshelbs16xoxo
Something similar to “The Ransom of Red Chief”, only in this version the kidnappers have figured out that Molly Hooper is a pressure point for Sherlock Holmes. They take her captive, intending to blackmail Sherlock or hold Molly for ransom; but Molly Hooper is having none of that nonsense. While Sherlock works to save her, Molly finds ways to torment, injure, and outwit her captors. Whether she escapes on her own, finds a way to let Sherlock and John know where she’s at, or ends up driving her kidnappers crazy to the point that they give up and send her back is up to the author. Could go humorous or dark very easily. - Anonymous

Pls include all the girls & guys in Clique, especially Holly since she’s a badass off to take down Jude and her “girls” no matter what! It’s a crazy plot but if you’ve seen the 1st 2 episodes of Clique, it screams for a Sherlolly crossover fic! Thanks for reading this uber-long fic prompt! - @violetjersey

And feel free to cover Sherlock being shot!) - @celticmoonbeam
Molly discovers she’s pregnant with Sherlock’s child at the worst possible time: while she’s with his parents, being hidden away, and the two are pretending to be just friends. Bonus if they figure it out before they’re told! - @penaltywaltz
After the events of TFP, Molly and Sherlock get closer. Suddenly, though, he pulls away and starts flirting with a coworker of hers, sometimes blatantly in front of her. It isn’t until an event at Barts that the truth comes out that it was all for a case. - @penaltywaltz
Molly finds out that as a child Sherlock liked the book “The Westing Game” and for one of his birthdays she arranges a vacation mimicking the plot of the book, even if none of them really fit the particular characters. - @penaltywaltz
Sherlock wants to make a gourmet meal for Molly for a special occasion, but he doesn’t seem to get it quite right. Fortunately, a friend/relative is willing to help. - @penaltywaltz
Sherlock moves in with Molly and begins perusing her book collection, picking up random books that have interesting looking covers, and the next thing Molly knows he’s turned into a fantasy buff. - @penaltywaltz *
Non-established Sherlolly. Sherlock gets a hold of Molly’s phone one afternoon and can’t resist snooping. He’s surprised to see a folder in her photo gallery marked “Special” and it’s all photos of him. - @penaltywaltz
Have you had sex? – After Euros asked that I somehow thought “Molly??” (as Sherlock says, Irene only texts him, he doesn’t reply). Later it seems that Euros is the only one who ever has noticed that Molly causes some emotions in him. So my theory is that something happened between Molly and Sherlock, it happened pretty recently, somehow (stressful night and they talked or they had some drinks and somehow one thing led to another) they ended up having sex; but Sherlock wasn’t good at dealing with it after or something urgent came along and he didn’t really consider Molly’s emotions, he ran off right after or in the morning, and that could be the reason why Molly didn’t pick up the phone first and was in a bad mood during the “ILY scene”. What happened between them recently is the reason why Molly is a bit rude to Sherlock when he calls, and the reason why she gets so emotional and raw so easily over the I Love You thing, and why she so easily tells him to say it first. Well, then when Sherlock says “I love you” he finally realizes fully that he really does love her too, and that he is capable of loving that way, and finally sees how easy it could be and what he could lose. Then after this whole thing he goes to talk to Molly and explain things to her. - @lullikiish
Complete me as a person. — Scene that popped into my mind. Irene has been texting Sherlock again, Sherlock in the end almost agrees to meet her for dinner, but as he’s walking out of his flat while Molly is there looking after Rosie he sees Molly in kind of slo-mo in the golden evening sun holding Rosie and being all sweet. Maybe already something a bit has happened before between them, some flirting, etc. The talk with John about a relationship completing him as a person is on the back of his mind. He walks out, but midway down the stairs while taking his phone out (symbolically in darkness compared to that evening sun) he realizes that he misses that warmth and Molly, and realizes that is what completes him. He takes out his phone and texts he’s not coming and then goes back upstairs. Sees Molly all adorable and confused/surprised in this beautiful light and maybe goes to kiss her, etc. - @lullikiish
A post TRF fic, where Sherlock takes Molly with him, but they return to London a couple years later than in canon because Molly got pregnant along the way (or even twice), so now they are three/four of them instead of two? - @mychakk
Victorian “Hooper”lock—Molly in disguise as “Hooper” the man, and they work together on a case and sparks fly. They flirt and all, and Sherlock can’t figure out right away that she’s a woman, and I think it might not even bother him that much. - @lullikiish
“We had chips. She liked me.” – Sherlock in TLD. What could have been had he and Molly gotten chips in TEH: A kick to Tom’s butt. Happy greeting (a hug at least!) at the end of TEH. Quite a lot of sex with Sherlock instead of Tom. Molly the best man’s date. A (sophisticated. Or not) Molly/Janine cat fight for Janine hitting on SH moments. Dancing, so much Sherlolly dancing (and no leaving early). Probably no Shezza (Shezzer?)—which, hmm, is a shame (But maybe they’ve their own not-being-on-a-sex-holiday-but-sexing-a-lot time). A real proposal to Molly. Molly at family Christmas, maybe even a Christmas wedding. Solving CAM without the threat of exile sharpens Sherlock’s deductive abilities. No Norbury as Molly’s already expecting their first offspring, so Sherlock doesn’t taunt needlessly. Mary as the Sherlolly baby godmother as she’s alive! Culverton Smith is taken down by the duo of Mary and Molly while the latter gives birth there (because the ladies are awesome, plus Mrs H tackles him down). John is so impressed he doesn’t look at any other women. Molly’s big heart brings Eurus from her metaphoric plane the moment she steps into 221B, plus baby Holmes wins her heart too. The Holmes family reconciliation and Eurus is in therapy instead of being a multi-killer. Baker Street Boys Team continues while Baker Street Girls Team gives them a run for their money. Mycroft asks Lady Smallwood out himself to her astonishment and internal squealing. Mummy Holmes gets more grandkids than she could’ve imagined. And basically, everyone walks happily into the sunset. The End. Please note, some things can obviously be modified. - @mychakk *
AU: Molly runs away from home when her parents try to arrange a marriage for her. She wants to pursue a life that involves science and marry for love if she ever gets married at all. She meets Sherlock, who is being pressured by his family to marry a nice girl they found for him who loves science as much as he does. It will be interesting when they figure it out. - @shadowyqueenbeard
AU. Instead of dying, Mary actually does hide from Sherlock and John effectively and they don’t find her. Still wracked by guilt and worried he’ll never see her again, John still imagines her in his mind and Sherlock still goes after Culverton Smith … possibly both to save John and because maybe Smith knows something about where Mary went? To solve the mystery and bring Mary home, Sherlock and Molly team up. - @rooneykmara
Crack!fic. Molly and Sherlock had a fake wedding for a case. However, when Molly applies for a marriage license to Tom, it turns out the wedding was actually real. She has to approach Sherlock for an annulment. It seems Sherlock deleted the event, because he doesn’t seem to remember it. Or does he? It seems he is too busy to sign the paperwork, he has misplaced it, always an excuse not to dissolve the marriage. Eventually he has to admit he really does want to be married to her. So Molly has to decide between two men. Which one does she choose? 😉 - @shadowyqueenbeard
Molly, unbeknownst to Sherlock, suffers from psoriasis since her teen years. This is why she’s been adamant about being more physically intimate with him, no matter how much she wants to. Fortunately for her, Sherlock doesn’t care about it at all. Could be a hard T or M rating. Loosely inspired by Loo’s own bout with the disease. - @violetjersey *
Fluff and maybe smut, or angst with a happy ending: Molly has a creepy feeling that she is being followed, and goes to Lestrade for help. He discovers that she has a security detail, curtesy of Sherlock. Molly is not pleased with this situation. Sherlock doesn’t understand why not, shouldn’t she be glad that he cares about her safety? After getting an earful from Molly, he cancels the security detail. Molly promptly leaves town without a word to anyone, leaving Sherlock to sweat. Is she okay? Most likely she is on a beach sipping Margaritas, but maybe she’s in trouble. He would like to make amends but first he as to find her. Should he try to locate her or leave her alone as requested? - @shadowyqueenbeard
